Are right wingers genuinely stupid or just selfish? I know it's a massive generalization (and maybe ironic because of that) but I'm just dumbfounded. It's like they either know they're lying or too stupid to either understand cause and effect, or just struggle with empathy.

Do you think black and brown people have empathy for white people? If a white kid was riding his bike through a black neighborhood and got hit by a bus black people would just laugh at him and piss on his corpse. Why would I be dumb enough to empathize with those people. In Spain a group of 3 North Africans attacked a 68 year old man and now Spanish men are going around beating up migrants. Are they dumb troglodytes for exercising common solidarity with each other

there is confusion here
atheism concerns "theos"
paganism generally concerns "ethos"
thats why when atheists get a bit spicy they call themselves pagan, but it is really an ethical attitude.
>the road freedom from religious thinking
man is a religious animal. trying to escape one deity just puts you in the jaws of another. thats why agnosticism is the most rational and open position.

I guess the USSR was never aspiring towards communism then. Neither was China, or North Korea or Cuba or Vietnam.

I think I got it but I cannot quite explain it satisfactorily.
I mean, I don't know about negation and negation of the negation and all that.
The superseding of religious belief is not rejection but something else. "A secret third option".
Superstition is superseded by the end of superstition. Religion in concrete terms will cease to exist in the institutional sense. We do not need cloisters, monasteries or preachers as we do not labor under the delusion that some guy has a special relationship to the supernatural, the holy.
However, here's where it gets a bit tricky.
>Unconscious metaphysics tends to be bad metaphysics.
The mundane is the spiritual and the Spiritual is mundane. As a layman I feel like this makes the most sense. It's a "how could it be any other way?" "Well, naturally" type of deal. I am far from a theologian but smart or religiously educated is where I heard this from. One being Gabor Maté who I heard mention this in a video I do not quite remember the name or topic of. Or Buddhadasa, who became controversial for what I believe is a rather similar approach. In the end it turns out to be a distinction without a difference.
Or I suppose with Spinoza: God is the world and the world is God.
Trying to bring it back to the "abolish" term or "supersede" or transcend (go beyond), this is one example of two opposites "cancelling each other" (not quite).

>>2387294
Atheism is the rational position. Hard agnositicism "I literally can't know if God exists or not" is not rational, because such people dont give proof why the existence of God is unknowable

I have for a long time used council communists and left communists interchangeably, without ever looking deeply into whether they truly are similar or not. I am not knowledgeable enough to act as if I understand the intellectual jargon and prose of Bordiga and Pannekoek etc. So, can any good souls here tell me the differences between the two and similarities (if any) in simple language please?
Peace and love to all

That's the point, OP flaunts councilism and fails to distinguish it from council communism.

Why are Stalinists consistently staunch anti-intellectuals is my genuine question?

Modern stalinists specifically seem intent on being the polyps of the communist movement, it’s just absurd to see people so pathologically attached very specifically to failure

Why do you frame successful socialism as simply doing capitalism competently and make that the entire horizon of specifically the 21st Century’s future?

I don’t expect you to respond honestly or even rationally, but I’ll take a chance since even five years ago MLs were less shamelessly moronic and dishonest

>Council communists are not anarchists at all
that anon is confusing earlier councilcoms like pannekoek with later thinkers like Gilles Dauve and various other more minor french thinkers

Councilcoms were libertarian Marxists that argued strongly in favour of workers' councils as opposed to party dictatorship.
Bordigists were ultra-Leninists.
They were both anti-parliamentarian, against participating in bureaucratic trade unions, and generally against natlib. As a result both get lumped together as left-communists.

Their texts (Kitab al-Hikma) are already available online in arabic - translate them into english, exterminate the al-Uqqal and make them spew all of their "secrets", cheer on any islamists that can get their hands on these vermin, liberate the al-Juhhal.
Destroy the feudal cult of lies. Translate their "holy" scripture, expose the Uqqal vermin already. Having a religion (feudal beliefs) tied to an ethnicity as part of its identity spreads feudal doctrine to its peoples by family association.

The real subsumption of labor is an important element of class conflict to analyze. The design of the means of production is an important way in which the bourgeoisie maintain power. But I am unsure of how the working class may fight the professional strata who design the means of production.

It seems to me that the professional strata only profits from a share of temporary super-profits due to innovation. If the workers want to fuck with the scientists then they must fight the intellectual monopoly rents the techs make their money from. It seems to me that rather than smashing mills the Luddites should have leaked the mill designs and trade secrets to their employer's competitors.

>It seems to me that rather than smashing mills the Luddites should have leaked the mill designs and trade secrets to their employer's competitors.

The rival companies would not touch the stolen IP and will just report the perpetrator to the police. No one wants to break IP laws because they don't want their own IP to be stolen. I guess some truly hopeless incompetent company might be tempted but govts don't fuck around with IP laws, if they get caught their company will likely be fined to death and executives will be arrested. It's one of the few laws under capitalism where being a big company or a billionaire won't save you if you break it.

People will seemingly do anything to not engage in analysis of structures of class, labor, and political economy a la basic Marxism.

Paradoxically, some of the most radical-sounding theory ends up being politically inert. If your revolution happens in desire or discourse, then there's no need to organize tenants, unions, or strikes. No need to analyze class composition. It's post-materialist. The ruling class is perfectly happy for people to spend their time deciphering Deleuze or burning effigies of "the State" in their heads rather than challenging property relations.

Since the 1960s, theory has absorbed countercultural and psychoanalytic influences that treat rationalism itself as suspect. Much of this comes from academia. Their material interests don't align with the working class, so abstract theory "feels" radical without risking much. Another part of this is a sort of learned helplessness and nihilism, in that sense modern theory serves the same function as fascism in that is provides an outlet by giving the "aesthetic" of radicalism without the substance.

TLDR:The most "radical" thing you can do today is to simply disregard the vast majority of Western Marxism/Post-Marxism i.e. Freudo-Marxism, Deleuzean neo-Kantianism, Hegelian revivals through Lukács and Adorno, postmodernism, poststructuralism, and any approach that elevates """discourse""" as the primary object of analysis, and instead return to a straightforward, rigorous conjunctural class and geopolitical analysis grounded in orthodox Marxist categories and methodology.

A huge part of Deleuze and Guattari's work, especially Anti-Oedipus is deeply embedded in the context of the New Left and its reaction to postwar institutions like psychiatry, the nuclear family, etc.

One of the biggest problems of the new left was reorienting the left from class to identity and from materialist analysis to poetic metaphysics. This sort of vitalist mysticism depoliticizes theory and turns it into symbolic disruption and identity performance.

>>2385120
its both i.e. sublation

>>2385896
OK so you're just shilling for more "left-wing" reforms within bourgeois electoralism

Revolution will happen when critical mass of people read and properly undersrtand deleuze, prove me wrong

>>2387480
Deleuze also has a habit of pushing people into a right wing schizo pipeline like Russell Brand and Nick Land

>Therefore, June 10 (the date of ᴉuᴉlossnW's declaration of war) was for me what you call a great day. But now that Hitler has grown soft, I begin to lose the trust I had placed in the Axis to strangle and pull down the so-called British colossus, that is, the greatest exponent of capitalism. They are afraid of bringing down England, they are afraid because they know that with it, the whole capitalist system will collapse. […] I still hope that Hitler will not renounce the struggle, and will go all the way, to the extreme consequences.
<The great and authentic revolutionaries of the world are two: ᴉuᴉlossnW and Hitler. But ᴉuᴉlossnW's past shows that Il Duce has always been against the plutocracy and against the democracies, which paralyze the life of nations.
>Stalin, allying himself with London and Washington, has betrayed the cause of the proletariat. Moreover, I can say that on this I agree with Il Duce, when he says, as he did in his speech from last November, that if there is a man who desperately wanted the war, who first prepared it and then instigated it, it is the American president. From my point of view, however, I clarify that Roosevelt is nothing but the exponent of supercapitalism that aims at the conquest of a totalitarian imperialism.

Whaddafug, wholesome critical support to Hitler and ᴉuᴉlossnW????

>>2387569
what there is more to say ?, calculating war removes human mistakes or sedentionism like the french army surrender from math because they can't be easily predicted, just like the predictions that the Ukraine would only last 2 more weeks was made because of these types of calculations.



 

Whilst I'm convinced that capitalism is inherently cyclical, imperialist, destructive, and have been for many years, I still have one pretty important hangup: Where is the definitive proof that capitalism must end? It doesn't seem to be found in the labour theory of value, or the law of accumulation– these only prove the ongoing antagonism between the classes, and not that such an antagonism must eventually end. It doesn't seem to be found in the critique of imperialism either, this only shows how the bourgeoisie induct new countries into the capitalist process, and how they offset and attempt to distract from the detrimental effects of accumulation.

But I can imagine a state of history in which the tension between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat keeps going on, with the bourgeoisie constantly artificing new pointless commodities, and humanity, stuck in its fetishism, continues to consume them, and workers simply show up every few decades to win some reformist concessions.

I don't know everything and it's entirely possible I'm missing critical So I want to ask you good people if you've ever been convinced of such a thing, that the eventual development of capitalism will likely culminate in something new. Because it feels to me that maybe the class war is eternal.

>The struggle between the bourgeois class and the aristocracy, which does NOT mean ideological-political struggle, it means economic, material struggle.
The different sections of the upper class, profiting from different forms of surplus, will necessarily have different moral frameworks to justify their social standing. "Materialism" doesn't mean that ideology doesn't exist.

>>2387414
True, it can also backslide into barbarism and decades of stagnation. Moreover, a socialist system that emerges can always open up new territories which can then be captured by a re-emerging capital.

>>2387427
> i like pancakes
< so you hate waffles?

>>2387486
What point are you trying to make?

The fundamental reason why capitalism has to end is because the process of having people selling their labour in a competitive market in order to buy food to live on, depends on the bourgeoisie needing to actually buy people’s labour hours, given an abundance of automated productive capacity that necessity of purchasing labour power diminishes into nothing.

Thus society ends up in the bizarre scenario where no one can earn a salary to live on and these abundance producing automatons have produced stuff of such little value that even if people had salaries to buy any of the produce, it would cease to have been profitable anyway. So the masses are starving to death because there’s no work to be done while the bourgeoisie are going out of business because their trillion dollar commodity printer will never turn a profit producing things at a value of essentially naught.


Everyone therefore dies despite the existence of machines that produce enough to satisfy all supplying all needs and wants up to any amount of demand.
