I've been looking up a little about east german children's homes, such as the youth work camps including the "Torgau Closed Youth Detention Center" and the stuff im reading here does not sound good. The stuff includes child abuse, including sexual abuse, torture, and general neglect, all supposedly allowed to happen because of the government's general denial of such abuse being possible in a socialist state and a general culture of silence with adults being caught barely being punished. DDR bros, what is the retort to this?

I feel like we are missing out on having a useful convo about makarenkovian pedagogy, how to approach these past events and learn from them and if to defend the gdr, with something more nuanced and complex then whataboutism (not to discreddit any critisism and downplay these very real things that are arguably worse due to the unapologetic nature of structures that allow more abuse under capital than that in the socialist bloc)

Before 1999 that was the average children's home/orphanarium everywhere.
People did not give a shit about children's rights or their well being beyond being well fed before the late 90s.

I consider myself an extremely "soft" leftist, with a lot of care for "social issues" and personal freedom, but not exactly a hardcore "socialist". I'm not even talking about Marx here (I know some of the theory etc, but I don't agree 100% with it)
I am what the general public sees as a "leftist" and that's fine by me.
I am more of a social-liberal.
I am not american or european, but if I was, I would obviously stick with the Democrats and Social-Democrats in general.
I see most of you guys are not like this, you tend to be more radical to the left. I see no reason for that. For real, the world is not this big war you all seem to be fighting for. Many people stick to the center.

Try to convince me to be more radical, if you can. (I hate authoritarians of all kinds).
I am open to criticism.

Take notice I am:
gay man
from brazil
I support marijuana, lgbt+ rights and things like abortion
I am not completely opposite to capitalism (because I think to stop capitalism you would need an authoritarian government and I don't like that), but I like the idea of reforms and regulations.
I care about poor people, the disavantaged and the homeless.

Incorrect. Even with a mitigated neoliberalism, the PT (Workers' Party) used and expanded public properties and employed state capitalism to the extent possible within the framework of class conciliation, often making defensive gestures when the bourgeoisie launched an offensive to remove labor rights, privatize, etc. The PT has politicians from the MST (Landless Workers' Movement) and has ties to this movement for agrarian reform, while you cling to the natural right to private property when the constitution itself states the need for a social function of property that can be expropriated. The PT's activists do not share your position on the inviolable natural right to private property; within it, there is discussion of the use of a developmentalist ideology, which you can find in Dilma Rousseff, who had abandoned her program to move away from the macroeconomic tripod with the New Macroeconomic Matrix, but gave up when she realized that there was no national industrial bourgeoisie that was not financialized to make this capital and labor agreement since the Brazilian bourgeoisie only cared about speculating in the financial market.

The Workers' Party (PT) has a position of not falling into the trap of demonizing foreign countries in order to have dialogue and economic sovereignty, where Palestine is recognized and its existence in an economically viable way is demanded. Defending a US invasion is not a position of the PT. Go to the alternative media close to the PT and you will see Marxists, supporters of campist ideology, defenders of 21st-century socialism and fans of Chinese revisionist socialism, as well as various warnings of threats from the CIA to Brazil, or talking about the lies of the mainstream media. Your speech is that of a lackey of the mainstream media apologist for American imperialism.

But the PT is a reformist, conciliatory party that cannot stop the advance of neoliberalism and the financialization of the economy, even if in a delayed manner, constantly making concessions to the bourgeoisie, demobilizing the population, always conceding more to the "broad front" and electoralism. The PT will not reverse the financing of fascism and reactionism, which is the natural result of capitalism. There is no peace or reconstruction if you don't reverse the financialization of the economy, which would require ending thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

If you lived within a state that was genuinely democratic and with a proportionally strong lobby for working and poor people, you would have to choose whether your commitment to weak government or your commitment to poor people is higher. You will no doubt disagree, but this is how I see it, as a communist. The only way to fix the ills of capitalism is progressively expanding reforms in the economy towards socialism. Early on this looks like regulating business, but as this disrupts the economy or businesses try to undermine/work around it, further measures, like targeted expropriations, freezing funds of huge business owners like Jeff Bezos, state owned enterprises competing seriously with private sector, etc. will be needed. All this happens under liberal capitalist states as well. Beyond that, a move towards the whole of the productive economy (i.e. people who make stuff en masse) being state directed (and later state owned), and the non-productive economy (i.e. land and monopoly rents) being expropriated for most likely municipal state ownership.

This is all "authoritarian" because there is deprivation of property (of billionaires and parasite rentiers), freezing assets in order to not allow capital flight, government heavily involved in economy, strong regulation with no loopholes, etc.

As Lenin says, socialism is state-capitalist monopoly made to serve the people. Right now we have state-capitalist monopoly serving the rich. If you care about the poor and working people more, you will eventually see the necessity of strong government (democratically controlled by the working class) in overcoming control by and for a very small class of opulent wealthy, and I don't have to convince you right now about this, I just have to convince you that a state where the working class has a say is better than a fake democracy or dictatorship. If you support small government more, then you were never on my side in the first place, and all the niceties about weed and butt sex were just you wanting some personal liberties to increase your personal comfort (and i could only assume you're somewhat wealthy yourself), and nothing to do with freedom or the comfort of working people as a whole. If the latter is the case it's not loss, you were a class enemy from the start, just one with a softer and less realistic outlook than the fascists.

The Iranian bourgeoisie is no more losing than the Israeli or American bourgeoisie.

To believe that the Iranian bourgeoisie lost because a school was bombed is to believe the Iranian bourgeoisie won because an apartment in Tel Aviv was bombed. Destruction under capitalism is an intended part of war that delays overproduction, the workers killed in process make way for new pool of labor, the infrastructure for new investments. This war like any other before it will ultimately serve multinational capital while empowering waring regimes (namely Iran and Israel) with new justifications for existing.

>inb4 muh leaderz

The government is nothing but a managerial committee that represents the whole bourgeoisie. They're inherently disposable and it is inevitable that they're disposed.
>inb4 muh buzzwords
The stated goal of the US isn't regime change. The state goal of Iran is self-defense. Both are fighting for the status quo which they jointly upheld for decades, the war is nothing but the expression of capital in crisis seeking to maintain itself.

Is ableism fascist?

I look down on people who can't maintain a good diet and exercise properly and in turn into fat fucks with limited mobility. I think that the ideal leftist should be fit and healthy, and that a communist society should promote the proliferation of fit and healthy people. I don't know why that apparently makes me an ableist to some people. What does the theory say about this issue?

this is just identity politics which we're just not interested in at all. I get that you're a loser trying to bait us but nobody cares.

there's a really extreme case that's kind of prototypical of the whole problem with capitalism and the human body and that is San Cristóbal de las Casas in Mexico. it's a town with a coca-cola plant that buys all of the natural water, and corrupts the government to prevent the townspeople having proper infrastructure for town water. there's a ton of yellow journalism about "the town where coke is cheaper than water". obviously obesity and diabetes is through the roof, the kids are all fucked up from having hero doses of caffeine from toddler age.

it's obvious that capitalism is responsible:
> lack of democratic oversight
> lack of regulation
> lack of education and development
> economic rationalization for what is child abuse enforced through poverty

it occurs across the world with people subsisting off of highly processed shit that they can afford, or a diet composed of their primary export to the US.

your next rhetorical step will be to say
>I don't care

which just begs the question why you made the thread, which as I initially stated is just to bait people into debating identity politics. kind of sad you're this dull a thinker and don't have anything better to do.

>>2760470
>Is ableism fascist?
It's more that fascist ideology was ableist. Really it was really tied up in Social Darwinism in which they borrowed from a crude interpretation of natural selection in which the "strong" select out the "weak" which justified physically exterminating people with disabilities (they actually experimented with killing methods on them before moving onto others). Also a big part of it was preparing the population for war.

>the ideal leftist should be fit and healthy

What is "ideal" is doing a lot of work here. If you're looking at some people as more or less valuable than others, that is going to clash with a left-wing outlook sooner or later. A class society also operates like that and the rich generally look better than the poor, have more free time and money to hire personal trainers and the like. I think physical fitness is good BTW but I tend to relate to motivational and positive encouragement types. It's like everyone has an inner strength that you can bring out and that can motivate them to exercise.

Fascism is anything I don't like, the more I don't like it the more fascismer it is

I've brought up reverse eugenics before, but if anything we need to encourage the handicapped.

I mean the actually handicapped, being fat is not a handicap. Being traumatized isn't either so most women are not handicapped. I'm talking about like downs syndrome or blind, deaf, no limbs or something.

Midgets too. Women should be forced to lay with manlets both so they suffer, and to derail heightism. No doubt westoids fetishize nephilim fallen angel giants hence like talls.

When everyone is an acne riddled paraplegic transgender with epilepsy, people will no longer have time to discriminate and lord their superiority. They'll cooperate to function or die out. I am more than willing to gamble the complete erasure of humanity to insure i never have to hear another fucking redditor again say words like "preference" you don't get preferences, you're a Kafir and should be beheaded for your insolence.

These are issues as to why I think the Western Left will never do anything or succeed at anything. It's not exhaustive, but I do ask why other people here critical of the Western Left, think the Western Left has failed and will continue to fail to enact any sort of change whatsoever?

>Anti-Imperialism doesn't mean anything or have any goal yet is the raison detre of the modern left.
>Anti-Imperialism never works because the left refuses to actually do anything to put themselves into positions where they have power to do anything actually anti-imperialist. It's mostly just seething and pointing at elites saying "LOOK YOU'RE BAD HYPOCRITS" while they respond "who cares?".

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, observed a tank capability evaluation test organized by the Armored Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of National Defense Science.
Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, stating that the test served as an opportunity to demonstrate, through actual action rather than explanation, how superior our new main battle tank is, and to clearly demonstrate how reliable a combat means it is.
Comrade Kim Jong Un stated that through the test conducted today, the functionality of our new main battle tank's interception system has been demonstrated to be perfectly equipped with the capability to thoroughly eliminate almost all existing anti-tank means.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, while evaluating the new main battle tank that demonstrated remarkable combat performance, said that it was once again confirmed that there is no room for doubt in our view, which has already declared that there is no tank in the world comparable to this one.
During the various tests conducted on this day to inspect the active protection system of the new main battle tank, the combat effectiveness of the protection system against anti-tank means attacking from various directions was specifically tested, and the perfection of the defensive function was confirmed with 100% probability.
