How would this work? Would all kids be raised in boarding schools from birth by federally employed nannies? Would the kids be able to visit their parents?

I feel like the petty-bourgeoisie and peasantry are glossed over way too much. It seems clear to me that the family arises from the self-exploitation of the working class. I mean that's literally what the family structure is, one worker exploiting another. It's tricky because the family arises at the boundary between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It's true that the bourgeois are concerned with property inheritance but the leisure class has no need for the social division of domestic labor. IMO you get the worst misogyny amongst the petty-bourgeoisie, peasants and the lumpen, so the self-exploiting strata of the workers.

The dismantling of the family is a great upheeval .a betrayyal of the very principle of the proletariat, a
fundamenttal denial of the inherrent potential for human liberation that lies within the collective. Stalin and his commitment to the crushhing weight of Marxist principles, He understood, perhaps instinctively, that the traditional fammily is a pitiful monument to capitallist exploitation represented a crippling impediment to the necessary inevitable revolution a future free from inherited privilege and the parasitic hold of the capitalist family it’s a necessary dismantling of a system that perpetuates inequality, a step in the liberation of all humanity

Basically third spaces for kids so they're not reliant on their biological parents to have coercion over them if they're abusive or don't like them for whatever reason.

Everyone will be raised by their mom, grandma, and aunts, or the state. Men will not know if they are fathers or not, just sex (maybe no more straight sex, just sperm banks full of sampled from the marble statue looking mfs). No marriage, men will not take part in child rearing.

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

>>2388511
There is no separation of Stalin from Lenin, they had fundamentally the same politics

Both of these stem from the fact that European revolution failed and they simply can’t cope with it. You don’t have a working class, you don’t have politics, and you never have.

Thank you for everything, Joseph <3
I have seen many interesting input from various anons on Stalin here, whether in the form of opinions, books, documentaries etc. They happen sporadically, scattered on different threads which rarely have anything to do with Stalin, ML or USSR. I figured a Stalin General Thread would be useful. A place where to share all things Stalin and discuss all things Stalin.
Though I am pro-Stalin, this is not a strictly Stalin-worship thread. Posts critical of Stalin too are welcome. I simply request that they are in good faith, and not just 'muh ML' trolls.

one of the coolest things about Stalin is that his name is basically russian for Joe Steel. another of the coolest things about stalin is that he was part of a gang that used armored cars to rob banks.

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.

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.

I genuinely just think the fact that it's Madagascar. Maybe I'm old enough to have been influenced by a certain animated movie, or maybe tales of Libertatia stay in the back of my head, but I've always had a fascination with the country. The fact that they were led by an ML government at one point, and the President came back to led in the post-USSR world, is just something that hits the right notes.

ARE ISRAEL & U.S. PLANNING REGIME CHANGE IN ERITREA?

Is Israel manufacturing consent for regime change in Eritrea? In a 16 January article in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, author Habtom Ghebrezghiabher argues Asmara poses a threat to Israel and the US due to its warm relations with Iran, China and Russia.

The Haaretz article argues that Asmara is an Iranian proxy used to disrupt the maritime routes used by Israel's allies, citing the detention of a vessel of Azerbaijan, an Israeli ally. The author argues Eritrea and Yemen effectively grant Iran control over both sides of the southern Red Sea. Iranian vessels using Eritrean territorial waters is another sticking point, with the author taking issue that Eritrea accused Israel of violating Eritrean sovereignty when Tel Aviv attacked an Iranian vessel.

Eritrea’s anti-Zi*nist stance has been a headache for Israel. Asmara has consistently voted against Israel at the UN, rejected an Israeli ambassador, opposed Israeli presence in the African Union, downgraded its embassy in Israel, and expressed solidarity with Ansar Allah (colloquially known as the Houthis) attacks against Israeli-linked ships in response to Israeli massacres of Palestinians.

For the US, Eritrea’s China-Russia ties could explain the hostility. China has helped develop Eritrea’s infrastructure, such as in healthcare. Eritrea has also benefited from China cancelling debt and imposing zero tariffs on Eritrean exports to China.

The author also cites Eritrea’s cordial relations with Russia as a point of contention. With Eritrea voting in favour of Russia at the UN during a 2022 vote on withdrawing Russian forces from Ukraine, and recent high-level visits between officials in the two countries, it makes sense why the West would be increasingly hostile. In 2019, negotiations began for Russia to establish a logistic centre in Eritrea to bolster military and logistical capabilities in the Horn of Africa region. Eritrea is also interested in attracting investment, particularly in the face of Western sanctions against the country.

Yeah what the fuck happened? The production quality on those films was so good. That Korean war movie they did a few years ago looked so amateurish. Just stick to the kung fu and wire stuff.

China has the capacity to make some great films and some of the worst films you've ever seen, like money burning on screen. Like the one with Steven Seagal or the WW2 one with Bruce Willis.

>>2388381
Sorry, China WILL continue to produce media with the quality of The Leader.

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.

>>2387593
They have entire departments dedicated to clean room design and reverse engineering.

>>2388119
Reverse engineering is legal but you need to tweak it a lot when you finally make your own product in order not to infringe the original patent. And that requires a lot of money and effort, so there's still a big competitive barrier even when you reverse engineer somehting.

>>2387593
you're a moron if you believe in bullshit like IP law. look at how behringer infringes on design and trademarks and stomps bespoke manufacturers.
