/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

For fellow Marxist apostates: what made you turn away from Marxism?

I had abandoned Marx and Lenin when I had realised their theory is based on a massive hypocricy: if you are do not treat members of the upper classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are a doing le based materialst analysis and are epically owning moralists and idealists, but if you are do not treat members of the lower classes as human beings but as machines programmed to optimise their economic interests, you are an evil fascist, eugenicist, and social darwinist (and sometimes racist). Realising that, I ditched ML and jumped on the technocratic communism team.

What material conditions explain the rise of anti-intellectualism, not just on the right but also on the left?

I’m alarmed by all the posts and comments I see on social media — as well as in real life — which denigrate intelligence. I would expect this from the right, given that right-wingers and fascists despise smart people and make a whole show of privileging emotion over intelligent investigation, but it’s been showing up heavily on the left as well.

For instance, I’ve seen “leftists” say things like: “compassion is more important than intelligence, I’d rather be stupid and compassionate than smart and mean” (which conveniently neglects the fact that you can’t be compassionate without having intellect first). Or the usual: “I DON’T NEED THEORY, ALL I NEED IS FEELS” (which again, how do you understand the deeper meaning of your emotions without intellect?). This shit is getting so out-of-hand that I even see “leftists” glorifying metal retardation as something wholesome. Why? Since when did we become like the right?

Anyway, I’m curious as to know what exactly birthed this. Right-wingers hate intellectuals, professors, doctors, and whatnot. Leftists do not. Leftists always prioritize education, critical thinking, creativity, the ability to grasp abstract concepts, and intelligence. What good is it to prop up stupidity as a virtue?

What chvds think is happening
>People besides chvds start to get treated like humans

What actually happens
<People besides chvds start to get treated like humans
<Chvds crash out and destroy society in an effort to RETVRN
<declare afterwards that society was destroyed by "mvh degeneracy"

What are the most controversial subjects among socialists still discussed today? And why does the answer to those subjects matter? Is there a way to resolve those discussions?

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

During Karl Marx's life, Germany was the supreme industrial superpower of the world and Marx had no reason to believe that this would ever change. He assumed that Germany would continue to be the center of all technological and social progress in the world and that the rapid technological development of the Industrial Revolution would continue and German society would soon become a post-scarcity society where technology has eliminated all inequality and automated all labor and this society would naturally gravitate towards communism as things like class and money become irrelevant, and religion would also gradually fade from society as the end of the class struggle would theoretically do away with any need for religion's pacifying force to quell the impoverished masses. Obviously, none of these things happened and the events of the 20th century were probably utterly unlike anything Karl Marx could have anticipated, so the man effectively devoted much of his life to laying out the groundwork for a society that would never be. When it comes to Marx, what is really most relevant about his work for people in the real world today is the fundamental stuff about workers seizing the means of production; all of his theories about what kind of society would be built after the revolution are just pure academic conjecture from a 19th century German academic with a very 19th century German view of the world.

I live in rural California not that far from a big city in a very republican area do you think you can convince Republicans maga movement turn to a Maoist revolution, or they still be a bunch of hick

The forest cover across most of the world has expanded greatly the last several decades. The worst ecological disasters have happened in communist countries and Eastern Bloc Europe, and continue to happen in third world countries where governments exert enormous control over markets. Market oriented societies do the best at protecting their environment.
