>In 1848, Schopenhauer witnessed violent upheaval in Frankfurt after General Hans Adolf Erdmann von Auerswald and Prince Felix Lichnowsky were murdered. He became worried for his own safety and property. […] He gave a friendly welcome to Austrian soldiers who wanted to shoot revolutionaries from his window and as they were leaving he gave one of the officers his opera glasses to help him monitor rebels. The rebellion passed without any loss to Schopenhauer and he later praised Alfred I, Prince of Windisch-Grätz, for restoring order. He even modified his will, leaving a large part of his property to a Prussian fund that helped soldiers who became invalids while fighting rebellion in 1848 or the families of soldiers who died in battle.
Ah, so he was actively reactionary, as his class position, and his actions to defend his class position reveal.
>As Young Hegelians were advocating change and progress, Schopenhauer claimed that misery is natural for humans and that, even if some utopian society were established, people would still fight each other out of boredom, or would starve due to overpopulation.
Ohh… it's just… umm…. humans are gonna be miserable no matter what…. please don't make me lose my property…. I'm so miserable with all this property…. Prussian soldiers…. please defend my property from the rabble…. who are definitely just as miserable in poverty as I am in wealth… oh heavens…. I … ohh…..

Huh? I thought it was pretty well known that he was a quietist and by definition automatically a reactionary.
His bitter hatred for Hegel and German idealists, Love for monarchy, views on women, etc. He was a certified reactionary.
Shame, I liked his books and was highly fascinated by his philosophy.

> the ethical pursuit of personal goodness must be accompanied by a commitment to social justice, ensuring that all individuals have access to the education and resources
Such a straightforward and clear position arising from the basic principles of Buddhism yet so many failed to see it and Buddhism's history with socialism and progressivism is so sparse……..
Really wonderous how mitigated and meaningless religious teachings become once they're in the hands of a greedy authority.

marx's statement that "everything melts into air" and "everything holy is profaned" under capitalist relations appears to be completely false. in all reality, capitalism has given us the most conservative, religious and superstitious era in all humanity. we are not more enlightened than the ancients and history does not resemble social progress.

Unrelated to the question. But how are we allowed to post images of antique roman vessels depicting the sodomisation of catamites, but not overly stylized cartoon drawings of the same thing? Are mods really that pernicious to modern art? I saw a similar thread that made this point before. I bet I could post a Balthus painting without issue.

>capitalism has given us the most conservative, religious and superstitious era in all humanity
Not even remotely true. We are not sending 100,000 children to war in Jerusalem because the Pope lied and said the Antichrist was there. We are not burning thousands at the stake for practicing medicine. Get a hold of yourself

The religious larp in modernity is a facade. The rise of fascist mythology is a performance. It's just something they use to cope in modern society, like how women use astrology. They're not going to go to kill themselves for it.

>we are not more enlightened than the ancients and history does not resemble social progress.
Now ironically, YOU'RE acting like the fascist with this stupid, nazi shit. Technology immediately debunks anything you say.

It turns out that Norway's SWF almost has more money per capita than Norwegian private wealth, that is to say, its material base is such that it can realize PDD, with 2 trillion in the SWF vs about 500 billion GDP.

Roedt seems to be doing adequately, but how good are the revolutionary conditions there? I normally wouldn't advocate first world revolution, whether by the bullet or the ballot, but that 2 trillion is tempting as all hell.

That would be me. Unfortunately I’m a bit busy with work in computing to be politically active. But I do notice that people are warming up to the party. The leaders recently posted a poll up to 7% or more so we are gaining speed. Unfortunately so is FrP. I’m hoping Rødt can take a socially conventional approach to capture the youth. I’m glad this is being talked about on leftypol. I often get death threats on 4chan from maga americans and their bootlickers.

Norway wouldn’t exist without class struggle. The Sovereign Wealth Fund wouldn’t exist. It has always been a trad working class left country.

Has there ever been a materialist explanation for why western socialist and communist groups are overwhelmingly white, relatively gender balanced and majority cis (disregarding pronoun nonsense)?

Whereas the membership of contemporary rightoid fascist groups is disproportionately hispanic, Indian or otherwise nonwhite, overwhelmingly male, and rife with pedophiles, perverts and other abusers?

I don't think this is a rule at all for every reactionary movement's but for the US, many latinos who are not white passing identify themselves as white anyway, or at least feel whiter than their peers, so it's the prevailing colorism within non-white communities that makes them feel identified with the white supremacist cause

I troll them by going to the nearest Viet restaurant and ordering a big bowl of Pho, eating it quietly, and thanking the nice old lady at the till. I call this trolling method "not being an autistic freak who pics political fights with randos."

THE AESTHETICS OF COMMUNISM

This thread will describe what exact superstructural changes will occur in the aftermath of a Global Maoist Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution once the Material Base has been transformed after the Socialist Mode of Production has been established Worldwide. Enjoy Comrades, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

I will present a thought experiment, what will the World look like a century from now, decades after the World Maoist Protracted People's War (PPW) swept the forces of Capital and Reaction into the dustpan of History in the aftermath of World War III (it started in the Late 2020s as a High-Intensity Conventional Conflict between the U$ and China that escalated into a Global Nuclear War, but contrary to most Pseudoscientific Bourgeois Liberal and Revisionist expectations did not cause an apocalyptic "Nuclear Winter", but instead destroyed the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System and allowed for a World Maoist PPW that saw Maoist rebels seize control of the entire planet after decades of guerrilla warfare), 🤔? This Effort post will seek to answer that question, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

First, I will explain the political structure of this future Socialist world. There will be a Global USSR, in which every major Nation/Ethnic group will receive their own SSR or ASSR according to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist principle of Self-Determination of all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR (as articulated in Stalin’s “Marxism and the National Question” https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1913/03a.htm and Lenin’s “The Socialist Revolution and the Right of Nations to Self-Determination” https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/jan/x01.htm , along with the National Delimitation Policy of the USSR https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_delimitation_in_the_Soviet_Union ), including New Afrika, Aztlan (in a Hispano-American SFSR that includes all the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas), the First Nations, Azawad, Oromia, Afaria, Basque Country, Catalonia, Scotland, Wales, Sapmi, Palestine (in a Arab SFSR that includes all the Arab mPost too long.

He has the makings of a Chernyshevsky, a fine writer of utopian literature with a socialist bent.

A thread for exploring, and celebrating, the gradual but hastening fall of the United Empire of America.

>b-bu'muh /USApol/!
This thread doesn't focus on internal or electoral news and politics. Yes, the two consecutive demented presidents are relevant but we're looking outward at the international signs of decline.
>g2/prc/
This thread wants to explore beyond just China, Russia, ZR, etc., show us the deserted corners of the empire too.

Bring your:
- shifting international polls
- seaplanes
- estranged former 'allies'
- aid AIDS

to me the biggest sign of burger reich decline is that it has to choose between currency hegemony and reindustrialization. it cannot have both.

quote from another thread:

<America's currency hegemony and world reserve currency status depends on the debt being unpaid, and the debt being unpaid depends on the trade deficit, and the trade deficit depends on importing more than we export, and that depends on deindustrialization. Trump wants to reindustrialize, but he also wants currency hegemony. He can't have both. He has to pick between one or the other. He cannot be a neo-mercantilist advocate of reindustrialization, and an advocate of America's currency hegemony at the same time. The British and Dutch were also vanquished by this same crisis of hegemony. This is why China, at least the smarter officials in China, don't want to inherit America's unipolar imperial hegemony. It is a poison pill which destroys you in the long run. Multipolarity may prove to be unstable for different reasons, but unipolar hegemony is already proven to be unstable.

I love books that detail how great thinkers changed their minds, or more precisely, have had discovered new insights that made them go 180° on their previous takes. (I love progress in thinking…)

For me, when it comes to "big commie theorists," it is an enjoyable case of dialectics within dialectics. Can anyone relate? Do you understand?

So far I've read 3 books on the aforementioned gentlemen, detailing their "change of hearts:"

1) Engels & Marx changing their opinions gradually on the colonialism/imperialism question, recognizing the reality of the labour aristocracy, and so on. (.pdf related #1)

2) Marx & Engels becoming anti-humanists, divorcing their humanist (Hegelian) backgrounds. (.pdf related #2)

3) Lenin changing from socdem to bolshevik (.pdf related #3)

If you have other examples of these big brained retards maturing and 'dialecting' the shit out of the world, please post them. Combined, M-E-L wrote like 120k pages texts and like 0.001% of Actually Existing Communists (AEC) read it all.

>Engels & Marx changing their opinions gradually on the colonialism/imperialism question
there wasn't a change of mind, at least in marx's case. there are many early writings where he points out the "injustices" and "unfairness" of imperialism, but he didn't really concern himself with morals, neither while young nor old. his priority was understanding the facts, rather than assigning them a "good" or "bad" label, but most people here are too stupid to notice that, or practice it themselves, too baby-brained

the labor aristocracy thing is one of the most misinterpreted and misquotes by annoying ultras. the word was referring to opportunists that join the labor movement aiming for leadership positions just because they see it as easy money and a way of avoiding getting a real job. retards now think it means when your job involves a desk or a computer

>>2552140
Stalin going from 'socialism in one country is impossible' to 'socialism is possible in one country [and we'll kill you if you disagree]' is always a banger.

Turkiye issues arrest warrant for Israel’s Netanyahu over Gaza genocide
Among 37 suspects listed are Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and army chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, according to a Friday statement from the Istanbul prosecutor’s office, which did not publish the complete list. Turkiye has accused the officials of “genocide and crimes against humanity” that Israel has “perpetrated systematically” in its war on Gaza since October 2023.

US to demand countries share data on ‘pathogens with epidemic potential’ in return for health aid
A draft template seen by the Guardian, to be used for memorandums of understanding with partner countries, offers funding to tackle diseases such as malaria, TB, HIV and polio, as well as for activities such as surveillance, and laboratory systems and electronic health records. It suggests that countries will be expected to gradually take over funding these areas themselves over the course of the five-year agreements.

Qcells, a unit of South Korea’s Hanwha Solutions, said Friday that it will also lay off 300 workers from staffing agencies at its plants in Dalton and Cartersville, both northwest of Atlanta. The company says U.S. Customs and Border Protection has been detaining imported components at ports on suspicion that they contain materials that may have been made with forced labor in China, meaning it can’t run its solar panel assembly lines at full strength.

The Great October Socialist Revolution inspires our struggle for a world free from class exploitation and imperialist wars
108 years ago, the victory of the October Revolution demonstrated the power of revolutionary class struggle and paved the way for a society free from exploitation, insecurity, poverty, unemployment and war. It became a turning point in the history of humanity, brought to the fore a superior form of social organization, socialism–communism, which is radically opposed to previous exploitative formations. The socialization of the means of production, centrally planned economy and worker participation represented a profound qualitative leap in social development, delivering significant social achievements for the people. Today, as humanity bleeds and is torn apart by imperialist wars and interventions, the first Decree On Peace issued by the new revolutionary power of the Soviets symbolically illuminates the path that the peoples must forge through their struggle.

Scotland, NATO, and imperialism: Is the SNP a “threat to national security”?
The media this week, particularly in Scotland, has been ablaze with claims from – not one, not two, but three – members of Starmer’s cabinet that the elected government in Scotland is a “threat to national security”, due to its position on Labour’s militarism. Such statements were said by defence secretary John Healey in the House of Commons on Monday, again by Scotland secretary Douglas Alexander, and yet again by Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy. Lammy’s remarks came across as particularly patronising. Attempting to calm the situation, the Tottenham Labour MP tried to clarify that his pals’ comments were not aimed at ordinary Scots, but at their leaders. Then, attempting to address concerns that he was perhaps not in a position – from his London constituency – to speak on behalf of Scottish people, Lammy stated that he is actually 5 percent Scottish! For anyone not deluded by their recent 23andMe results, it is clear that claims by Westminster politicians that thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
