/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Why hasn't the proletariat of the west ever revolted? How much more do they need?

For all those anons who say that it doesn't matter that the left is irrelevant online or at the very least weak compared to the neoliberals, conservatives, and radlibs, socdems, and left anti communist etc. The internet IS important, and saying otherwise is a massive cope.

>You need to do real organizing instead
It's not either/or. And this seems to imply that the internet isn't influential as your local, on the ground org. This may or may not be true depending on what it's actually doing. Organizing around unions, rent, student debt, etc. May be good but I often hear this excuse deployed in defense of what are essentially glorified bookclubs, or worse, just made by party-less armchair shitposters who don't have any intention of any activism at all, even online slacktivism. They aren't against internet activism because they have a better form of praxis. They're against it because they too lazy to even do that. There's a reason theorists like Bordiga became a meme on leftypol, because he says activism is bullshit and the most revolutionary thing you can do is read theory and wait for muh true revolution. In that sense /leftypol/ is a de facto Bordigist party.

>The internet isn't influential
This is the even bigger cope, trying to spin vulgar economism as enlightened. "oh the internet is all superstructure" trying to pretend we are just above it all when in fact we are LOSING. There are tons of young people who get radicalized on social media and trying to pretend otherwise is just dumb. If not for running across radical politics on the internet, most of those people would have just ended up becoming liberals or vaguely dissatisfied adults who lack the knowledge or vocabulary to even articulate their discontent with the system. As people age they will eventually mature in their ideas but if no one pulls them in in the first place that won't happen. So yes, THE INTERNET DOES MATTER. And outreach on social media matters. That people can even deny this in the 21st century is mindblowing, they are either larping as a 1930s trotskyist pamphleteer or something, I don't know. This is especially even more true in this age of COVID and social distancing.

Interested in opining how the world might look by 2030
List of events that will likely occur this decade or are already occurring
>Severe economic collapse
>Blue ocean event
>Consolidation of the world into the Defense of UN Charter Bloc consisting of China, Russia, and Iran (and their allies) vs the US led NATO bloc (possible EU independence from NATO but currently unsure)
>COVID reaching a much worse climax than what is currently happening
>Continued eradication of petit booj/consolidation of capital in the hands of massive partially online operated firms
What are your predictions for 2030 and beyond?

I remember back in the day when I was introduced to anarchism I asked around for reading material. Basically there were four kinds of answers: "read the classics" ('kunin, 'potkin, Goldman, etc.), "read stuff from libcom.org" (for that sweet leftcom USSR crit.), "read contemporary theory" (theanarchistlibrary, CrimethInc.), or just "pretend to read" (AnarchistFAQ). Now obviously the best sounding answer to anyone is the contemporary shit. How exciting it is that anarchism is a living, breathing political tradition and to this very day new and valuable insights are being unearthed – or so I thought.

But after having read a good bunch of them (they don't tend to be long, mind you) I found that a significant chunk of them are either confused ramblings of an internet rando with an alias, amateurish phrase mongerings, or (probably the worst of all) some super autistic snowflake ideology's manifesto about how it's "time for [insert anarcho-x-ism]". I'm not gonna say I didn't find some hidden gems here and there, but holy cow, I'd wager a good 80% of the "contemporary" content there ranges from mediocre or useless to insultingly bad.

Just take a look at their recent publication from Mazeen Kamalmaz:
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/mazeen-kamalmaz-philosophy-behind-insurectionist-tactics-of-black-bloc
>The most important point we can get from Black Bloc tactics is the priority of human freedom essence of human existence itself.
<human freedom essence
>This is directly generated from an absolute right that is not negotiable in the form of living freely with the right to revolt.
<human freedom essence [is] directly generated from an absolute right
This is just alchemy-tier nonsense, meaningless rambling of a confused mind. Just replace "freedom essence" with "race essence" and a fucking /pol/schizo could have written it on their Dark Enlightenment blogs, and it would have just as much relation to reality as this original version.

The French army’s coup plots and the global onslaught on democratic rights
>The alternative to the capitalists’ “herd immunity” policies and drive to police-state rule is the international mobilization of the working class.

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2021/05/01/pers-m01.html

The far right French generals letter and the complete silence of the political establishment circles in this regards is a clear revelation of the growing fears the ruling classes are now facing. In fact, the content of the letter makes it clear that heightened social inequality under Capitalism and the ongoing pandemic will have global revolutionary situation. For this reason they are urging the French bourgeoisie to adopt more dictatorial means as a means to safeguard their privileges under these challenging times. In doing so they are using 'Islamism" as scapegoat in order to distract the public from deep class divisions. Today in many parts of the world those who are in power are using fascism for their own ends. In response the international working class now more then ever must form a socialist leadership that could help unite them and advance their own material interests independently.

Why are 4channers so obsessed with China and their hatred of it?
Is it just typical polcel racism fearing “le bugmen” who are clearly starting to BTFO Burgerstan and all of Western civilization, or is it the sheer abundance of glowies constantly posting there to tell “le uncucked free thinking channers” what to feel?
It’s so hard to tell apart the thoughts of an idiot polcel from a CIA glowie, it’s like they’re pretty much identical
