What is the materialist explanation for Germany being so cucked?

>ancestors ward of Romans but later on declare themselves the successors of the Holy Roman empire thereby betraying what their ancestors fought for

>never had a successful revolution and as a means of coping tell themselves it's because they are just too civilized to engage in such barbary
>loses two world wars and continues to live under the heel of US and Israeli interests to this day
>commits a genocide and as an act of historic repentance joins in to commit another ongoing genocide, where it is disproportionally people with a migrant background who protest against it while native Germans are underrepresented at such protests

What is to be done about the German Question? It seems that a good German is an anomaly.

What's the real story behind the Soviet deportations during WW2 because even MLs say that it was a bad thing but that feels like capitulation that Stalin is as bad as the Nazis as it was an ethnic cleansing from how it's described by western liberal historians

itt: people defend genocide rather than lapse out of the cold war chronomania

>>2508154
you dont seem to know what a genocide is
kinda embarrassing when one is livestreamed right now

>>2508175
i think deporting people based on ethnic status is genocidal, i think also bombing civilian areas to rubble then denying them any aid is genocidal, i also think you people should realize it's not 1977 anymore, it's over, the USSR fell, it's time to get a new strategy on how to change the world

>>2508137
>muh Engels

>but that feels like capitulation that Stalin is as bad as the Nazis
>capitulation
The problem is your fetishistic obsession with a long dead politician. The idea that Stalin could have done bad things shouldn't pose a threat to your wider world view.
Of course the deportations were a horrible crime and should be condemned, but the Nazis were obviously still worse. Stop treating politics like a fandom and Stalin as your comfort character.

Best USA president in its history?

My pick is Calvin Coolidge, since the best thing we can hope for in a capitalist / imperial leader is a complete hands off isolationist (and military defunding) approach. So what if he was a libertarian wet dream

>But picture to yourselves a slave-owner who owned 100 slaves warring against a slave-owner who owned 200 slaves for a more “just” distribution of slaves. Clearly, the application of the term “defensive” war, or war “for the defence of the fatherland” in such a case would be historically false, and in practice would be sheer deception of the common people, of philistines, of ignorant people, by the astute slaveowners. Precisely in this way are the present-day imperialist bourgeoisie deceiving the peoples by means of "national ideology" and the term "defence of the fatherland" in the present war between slave-owners for fortifying and strengthening slavery.

Damn why is this quote of Lenin ignored when talking about imperialism? I always see the "If Morrocco declared war on France…" part quoted.

Anarcho capitalism is the only true form of anarchism because any lack of authority ima Revolution or abolition of the state will lead to chaos and warlords -→ feudalism -→ capitalism.

I'm not advocating for it I'm stating the facts that all anarchism will degenerate back into hierarchy due to lack of authority, and that therefore anarcho capitalism is the most honest form of anarchism. I'm a Marxist Gaddafi'ist personally

Anarcho-capitalism would not lead to anything because it would never work in real life. You can't have markets or capitalism without the state. Period.

We already live under anarcho capitalism right now

capitalism = capitalists controlling the state
anarcho-capitalism = contradiction

They say that China around 2010 switched from net giver to net gainer. That was also around the time when US started experiencing dire troubles with maintaining trade balance and gave up on that completely

>>2506727
>The authors then take value onto another frontier: the transfer of value through international trade. They start by criticising dependency theory: “Marx’s approach centers on competition between capitals, within and beyond borders, in contrast to Emmanuel, who saw his subject as the exploitation of one nation by another.” They conclude: “It would be correct to say that the capitalists of advanced countries gain from the opportunity to exploit not only domestic workers, but those who live in other countries. They are able to claim above-normal profits from the social surplus because of competition on the international level. However, a transfer of surplus value from the pockets of the capitalists in one country into the pockets of the capitalists in another country cannot be designated as the exploitation of the former country by the latter. Similarly, industries cannot be said to exploit each other just because there is a transfer of value from one to another industry.”

>On the other hand, Isikara and Mokre do not go down the road of David Harvey in dismissing unequal exchange of value in international trade as having any relevance for modern imperialism. “Harvey’s argument is in favor of abandoning the concept of imperialism and replacing it by a more fluid notion of shifting hegemonies within global capitalism.” The authors reject Harvey’s conclusion both theoretically and empirically.


interesting

>Their result for China “is qualitatively different from the established position in the literature, according to which China is among the dominated countries or suffers from value drain in international trade.” But they add caveats. First, China only became a net gainer in the last ten years since the Great Recession, after which global trade growth weakened. And their result “only pertains to value transfers in production industries (omitting other economic aspects of imperialism), and, accordingly, it is in itself not evidence that China is now an imperialist power.”

>It is notable in authors’ results that China’s net value gains from trade is almost entirely due to its technological superiority over other countries, while for the US and the UK, it is mainly due to higher rates of exploitation of other countries.

Vijay Prashad breaks it down with three tough questions, on mass killings, displacement, and cultural erasure. And the claim just doesn't hold up. He sharply points out: If migration counts as "genocide," then the United States itself would qualify. Watch his sharp take on why the narrative falls apart.

Should I buy property in Peru to start an anti-theist drug compound for internal consumption / camp? Ideological sect camp.

I have two reasons for Peru:
1. It is isolated and unknown.
2. It is negligent to crime.

A few issues:
1. Budget.
2. Language.
3. Lack of connections to obtain marijuana, opium, growing seeds and lab equipment.
4. Lack of anti-WOD transhumanist scientifically oriented researchers, militiants.
5. Lack of arms, munitions.
6. Lack of will to abandon current civil life.
7. Interpol & CIA.

That Sumud Flotilla right is going to Gaza to break the Israeli blockaid. Inspired by the Thunburg Flotilla, the Sumud Flotilla contains far more ships in an attempt to overwhelm the Israeli Navy and Coastguard. The Sumud Flotilla departed from Spain at the end of August and is scheduled to be joined by more ships from Tunisia alter today. They expect to arrive at Gaza sometime next week.

It seems like there would be a distance issue. I might be wrong.

Also that would probably mean even less aid could be brought, although that would be a secondary concern since the primary purpose is to simply overwhelm the blockade and break it.

Really the big, important strategic change that needs to happen is they need to arm. All of them - whether it's "March for Gaza" ground missions or Flotilla missions, they need to actually start smuggling weapons. It is completely possible to do, and the only difference it would make is that it would create a human cost, for the IOF, when it inevitably raids humanitarian missions. There is no material negative effect for those trying to break the siege for doing so with the intent to defend themselves and to strike damage into the enemy. It will not make the child starvers any more sympathetic when those trying to bring baby formula into the besieged Gaza strip fight back.

What's the best way to convince anarchists that power and hierarchy aren't inherently bad?

Anarkids act like they understand theory and sociology better than Marxists do. They love getting on their moral high horse by calling everything "oppression". Yet when you actually pick apart their arguments you'll see that they're full of hot air 95% of the time. They talk a good deal about intersectionality and anti-oppression, but when pressed on how to abolish those oppressive structures in society they have no clue.

Marxism, OTOH, is scientific. We understand that political power is necessary to reshape society. We also understand that hierarchies need to exist until we reach the stage of communism, and even then you will still see things like hierarchies of intelligence, talent, beauty, strength, and so on that can't simply be abolished through idealist methods.

But how do you explain this without looking like you're making apologia for oppression? I've tried the Hegelian way of simply saying "the real is rational" but that doesn't get through anarkids' heads very well.

Aren't people with BPD typically people pleasers with abandonment issues who never want to say no to anyone? That sounds like the opposite of anarchy/punk to me.

Sometimes but most of the time they're control freaks. Like they're so afraid of losing the person they have that they go overboard to keep that person with them.

I feel like if you were going to pathologize the spirit of punk rock into a psychiatric illness, a better fit would probably be something like oppositional defiance disorder.

>That decentralization leads to mob based violence and dismissal/cancel culture. That dencentralised systems typically end up far more authoritarian and arbitrary in dishing out said authoritarian violence, than central managed control systems.
