/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Why was the KKE able to retain its mass base and its revolutionary character after the counter-revolution? Why is the communist party of a small, albeit typical, lesser NATO country the leading force of a current for the reconstitution of a leninist pole in the international communist movement, against the main current of social-chauvinism, prompted by imperialist centers?
Unlike for example the -up until the 1990s politically and organizationally similar- Portuguese communist party which ended up supporting bourgeois coalitions the KKE had an internal split with the eurocommunist 'renewalist' tendencies, that were even inside the political bureau. The full organizational split from opportunism proved to be vital for the direction of the party. This allowed the KKE to stay true to revolutionary principles while also retaining firm roots in the working people, while the Portuguese communist party slowly deteriorated through contact with 'leftist' bourgeois forces. The theoretical developments on the KKE's strategy is owed to this direction that refuses to submit to the new negative power dynamic between capital and the international proletariat, and recognises that despite the subversions at the end of the last century our era is still that of socialist revolution.The KKE's contemporary revolutionary strategy is based on the creative assimilation of the experience of the communist movement.
In my opinion, this is a relative development of communist theory because it make it more concrete. I think its driving force are not just the local conditions of Greece but, mostly, its unique history. The KKE today, while of course honouring the communist heroes which where on the first line in the fight against fascism everywhere, criticizes the strategy adopted by the 7th Congress of the Communist International. In its opinion, the strategic theory of two-stage revolution and of the united national, anti-fascist, anti-colonial etc. front mostly succeeded due the onslaught of the Red Army in Europe that objectively destroyed the bourgeois states.
In cases like France the collaboration with bourgeois forces in the antifascist front led to the disconnection of national and social struggles and eventually to eurocommunism.
In Greece the two-stage strategy failed, not only because the Red Army never reached it, but also despite the fact that the KKE did not have to, or rather could not, collaborate with the greek bourgeoisie because it either fled durPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Thousands protest in France against bill expanding protections for police use of force
Politicians, rights groups and other activists joined the Paris demonstration, among them Mathilde Panot of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party. "The police kill already," Panot told the crowd, calling for the bill to be voted down in the Senate. "In the Republic there can be no organised police impunity," she added. "In the Republic, there cannot be a category of citizens who have the right of life or death over other citizens."

Nothing ‘to be ashamed of:’ EU’s center-right clashes with Socialists over far-right votes
He added he is against putting up a firewall to keep out far-right forces “because it leads into badly behaving kids on the other side of the fence.” “We should go beyond that. On some issues, I think that they [the far right are relatively sane. On some other issues, there’s insanity,” he added, while insisting a majority of votes in Parliament will involve the mainstream parties.

UK's Burnham agrees to Saudi request for refuelling support
British Prime Minister Andy Burnham said on Monday he had agreed to a request from Saudi Arabia to provide defensive ​air-to-air refuelling for a limited time period, a move ‌he described as helping to stabilise the wider region. Riyadh requested support after the Houthis, who control the most populous parts of Yemen, intensified their attacks on Saudi ​Arabia, a new front in the wider war that began ​with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.

What did Marx mean by this in the Communist Manifesto.
<"Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of all the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the populace over the country."
>The Communist Manifesto, Chapter II: Proletarians and Communists
My three potential interpretations are as follows.
A) Marx viewed that the separation of the rural and urban populations led to conflict to due living in separate conditions. Like how we see rural populations now a day being far more reactionary than urban ones.
B) Marx viewed that alienation wouldn't just stop with abolishment of capitalism but we would to have to workers produce there own food and industrial goods. Instead of having them exchanged between city factories and country farms.
C) Marx thought the cities would dominate the surrounding country and lead to the reformation of the state.

Why do third-worldists seethe at first world workers for demanding higher pay and better working conditions resulting in capitalists exporting all the industry aboard to maintain higher profit margins?

The quote in Capital Volume 2 does not match the implication of the picture.

>True, the capitalist must also be there, must also live and consume to be able to perform the function of a capitalist. To this end, he has, indeed, to consume only as much as the labourer, and that is all this form of the circulation process presupposes. But even this is not formally expressed, since the formula concludes with M', i.e., a result which can at once resume its function as money-capital, now augmented.

>C' — M' directly contains the sale of C'; but C' — M', a sale on the one part, is M — C, a purchase, on the other part, and in the last analysis a commodity is bought only for its use-value, in order to enter (leaving intermediate sales out of consideration) the process of consumption, whether this is individual or productive, according to the nature of the article bought. But this consumption does not enter the circuit of individual capital, the product of which is C'. This product is eliminated from the circuit precisely because it is a commodity for sale. C' is expressly designed for consumption by others than the producer. Thus we find that certain exponents of the mercantile system (which is based on the formula M — C … P … C' — M') deliver lengthy sermons to the effect that the individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task. These sermons frequently remind one in form and content of analogous ascetic expostulations of the fathers of the church.

It seems Marx is not promoting Dengism but rather attacking those that support "sound money" fiscal conservatives. This line stands out:
>individual capitalist should consume only as much as the labourer, that the nation of capitalists should leave the consumption of their own commodities, and the consumption process in general, to the other, less intelligent nations but that they themselves should make productive consumption their life’s task.

What does leftypol think of Larouche and his weird cult that still exists. His ideology was extremely schizophenic and he also had a huge influnce on the SDI program under Regan, with larouche claiming he created it.
