/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Successful mass resistance to ICE has flourished everywhere.

you even have entire municipal police departments threatening to confront ICE.

Now ask yourself: why would the ruling class allow the plebs to challenge federal law? Would that not set a dangerous precedent for the ruling class to have ordinary working class people resist federal policy?

And the answer in this case is no, they're not afraid. And the reason is simple: THE RULING CLASS, THE BIG CORPORATE OLIGARCHS, WANT UNLIMITED MESTIZO IMMIGRATION IN THE US.

unlimited undocumented immigration from latin America means that capitalists can call upon a pool of unlimited scabs and also pay them BELOW minimum wage. white workers are simply too much of a hassle to deal with, they put up a stink and ask for too much. Jose and Juan, by contrast, have zero leverage and therefore can be hyper-exploited.

I will be called a republican, trumpist, fascist, but I am right. material analysis > muh feels.

Now this is not to suggest that the republicans care about workers, but the broader point I'm trying to make is that this goes beyond democrat vs republican identity politics: this is about what the haute bourgeoisie want. They want scared and vulnerable immigrants. simple as.

>To my mind, the so-called “socialist society” is not anything immutable. Like all other social formations, it should be conceived in a state of constant flux and change. Its crucial difference from the present order consists naturally in production organized on the basis of common ownership by the nation of all means of production. To begin this reorganization tomorrow, but performing it gradually, seems to me quite feasible. That our workers are capable of it is borne out by their many producer and consumer cooperatives which, whenever they're not deliberately ruined by the police, are equally well and far more honestly run than the bourgeois stock companies.

This is a thread about organizing cooperatives. It is not about debating the merits or lack thereof of cooperatives. I understand there are critiques of cooperatives, and how they are not enough to bring about proletarian revolution. The same is true of unions, but I still support the creation of unions and worker-owned cooperatives as part of a multi-pronged strategy.

how was this reactionary snitch able to predict multipolarity with such astounding clarity?

unitedstatian 'ultras' are the most obvious crypto chauvinists in the world and I say this as a great and authentic ultraoid

There is more proletarian solidarity to be potentially found among the conscripted ranks of the IDF and Wehrmacht than in your mercenary petty bourgeois/labor aristocrat army

Every dead american soldier is a victory for the international working class. Further proof of this is in the rise of anti-war sentiment among the american proletariat whenever the cost of war spikes (Vietnam, War on Terror) compared to the jingoistic character they generally take whenever it goes their way (WW2, Gulf War), it also has a proletarianization effect on volunteers.

<b-but hate is le bad
While we do not envy or disdain the bourgeoisie as is common of the middle class, as that would reinforce the role of competition in society, Marx also notes that there can be no class war without class hate. Hating your class enemies (police/army) can be revolutionary, granted it doesn't distract from the materialist critique of class society that is absent of morality.

Yes I will take a million dead US soldiers over one dead prole who they were in the process of killing. I'm not shedding a tear over my militant class enemies.

Intellectual production is the media, education, art, etc, that is created in a society. Since intellectual production is a direct extension of material production and because we are in the capitalist mode of production, the bourgeoisie heavily influnces and almost entirely controls intellectual production.

I feel like the internet has changed this although, since everyone has a voice, from the capitalists to us; as a result, I don't know if this definition of intellectual production by Marx still fully applies, idk.

How did you react when Trump won? I personally drank a bottle of champagne because I knew it was the beginning of the end of the USA. He is the worst kind of man and everyone knows it. Watching him destroy the US for 10 years while in and out of office has been so vindicating. He has made China into a moral leader. He is such a great capstone on the genocidal project founded in bourgeois revolution - the Settler Entity.

Scientology is interesting because it is literally bullshit. But can we use their tactics to grow the left? Why is it so hard for something based in reason to work while something that isn't fails?
>Spot who is attacking us.
>Start investigating them promptly for felonies or worse using own professionals, not outside agencies.
>Double curve our reply by saying we welcome an investigation of them.
>Start feeding lurid, blood, sex, crime actual evidence on the attackers to the press.
>Don't ever tamely submit to an investigation of us. Make it rough, rough on attackers all the way. You can get "reasonable about it" and lose. Sure we break no laws. Sure we have nothing to hide. BUT attackers are simply an anti-Scientology propaganda agency so far as we are concerned. They have proven they want no facts and will only lie no matter what they discover. So BANISH all ideas that any fair hearing is intended and start our attack with their first breath. Never wait. Never talk about us—only them. Use their blood, sex, crime to get headlines. Don't use us. I speak from 15 years of experience in this. There has never yet been an attacker who was not reeking with crime. All we had to do was look for it and murder would come out.
