/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Personally, I think the proletarianization of the media, the academy and tech is based.

I want every writer, professional and code-monkey to be an immiserated prole who hates capitalism with a burning fire.

It starts small with generic anti-capitalism snuck in here and there. A generic fight against "the system" which can easily hijacked by fascism. But how long can the pressures of ideology hold against the falling rate of profit? The industrialization of knowledge production is inevitable. And sure the bosses will try to exercise control (as they do) and plenty of workers will be fired and have their work rewritten. But why bother censoring yourself when you're making minimum wage anyway?

So how will the bourgeoisie hold power when the workers are exposed to blatant Marxist propaganda everyday?

When the propagandists are as immiserated as the coal miners then the propaganda will reflect the interests of the miners, not the bourgeoisie.

Evo's supporters stage road blockades in Bolivia
The blockades, which also disrupted highways connecting Santa Cruz and La Paz, are part of broader demands against President Luis Arce Catacora's government, accused of causing an economic crisis with dollar and fuel shortages due to declining gas production. The demonstrators, waving both Bolivian flags and the multicolored indigenous wiphala, demanded Arce’s resignation, labeling him a “traitor.”

Guatemalan court orders arrests of Colombian officials who led a UN anti-corruption mission
Velásquez responded via X after learning of the accusations. “So now the corrupt Guatemalan attorney general and her prosecutor Curruchiche – designated as corrupt and sanctioned by the United States and the European Union – extend their persecution for Luz Adriana Camargo and me,” Velásquez wrote. “My solidarity with the former officials and so many Guatemalan citizens who the Attorney General’s Office has forced into exile.”

Are they lumpen? Class traitor? Revolutionary lifestyle that doesn't contribute to the working relation of modern capitalism? Leeches? Vagabonds? What's your opinion on NEETs? Did you had a NEETdom period in your life? How was it?

I did have a period of NEETdom, it's a quiet liberating, spent my days reading books, mangas, playing vidya, going to the gym and doing walks, almost 0 stress, pretty freeing lifestyle, I would keep being a NEET if I had the oportunity, but life is a bitch, I survived with Mombux.

I spent 4 hours last night laughing with my organized Iraqi comrade about MLs, their infantile belief in the state, support for the most batshit reactionary groups in the region and their Lassallen tendency. We also had a laugh about Hakim's blatant chauvinism, inaction and grift.

Good times. Thanks for making my week bros. The real movement will crush all, promise.

Fuck Debord, Deleuze, Guattari, Adorno, Zizek, all the Frankfurt school, all other postmodernist, critical theory, all these indecipherable philosophers. I despise these social fascist lickspittles. Why are they even considered remotely socialist? It's like they didn't take a single lesson from The German Ideology, they read Marx encyclopedically but don't even pay attention to what he's saying! All they see is the long winded style of writing he inherited from Hegel and replicate that rather than spending a moment to realize that their philosophy is useless. Like liberals they pick out a few 'radical' sounding things and ignore the real work on political economy!

Their understanding of socialism is completely liberal because it is just taking the aesthetics and going 'Well, they had some good points. But I think we need a new way'. Liberal scum. Always they end up supporting NATO and social democracy, or they become ridiculous anarchists. The post-modernists have had a terrible effect on socialism. It is the ideology of neoliberal capitalism, incompatible with Marxism and communism. Post modernists need their delusions beaten out of them to show that the real world does have meaning. Postism is completely rubbish. All 'posts' are ridiculous theories, that included Post-colonialism. Fundementally they are bourgeois, because it is rejecting real progress.

All these lickspittles say is the most radical things ever. "Let's abolish capitalism and all exploitation! Let's abolish time! Let's abolish the current way we see the world!". But then they don't do anything about it! And lots of what they are asking for and conflating with the class struggle is ridiculous like paedophilia and time abolishing. These ones are the ideological fault for postisms and identity politics becoming such a big thing. Nobody real can read their work. Even Marx tried to make his work readable even though at times it is difficult. But they revel in how complex and difficult it is. This is for a reason - their audience is the petit-bourgeois, not the working class.


There has never been a good philosopher. Hegel might have been useful to Marx, but once Marx transcended him he should never be read (Lenin is wrong on this). The only real philosophers are the ones who are working in the struggle. The fascists should be ostracised and their books burned. I despise them and I am angered whenever I hear one of their evil names.

I have solved the housing dilemma. It's mobile homes. Cheap and efficient. But instead of throwing everyone into the same mobile park lot. They will be split upon preferences.

Why do boomer leftists love(d) Israel so much? Guilt over the holocaust? Romantic depiction of early colonists in their national-socialist kibbutz? Positive media exposure in their formative years?
Most of old people supporting Israel in the west were staunch left-wingers in their youth, sometimes they still are leftist just not on this particular issue.

Zionazism seems schizo at first glance but it is just the logical endpoint of White supremacism, Christian supremacism, and European settler-colonialism: Jews have been knighted as "honorary" whites, and have been enlisted as crusaders against Muslims by white European Christians. It is an alliance of the two older Abrahamic faiths against the new one, and an alliance of the "true whites" and the "off whites" against the browns.

How should the secular international Communist left combat these powerful spooks? Or should they simply ignore it and focus on building the labor movement?
