heres a thought experiment.
What would happen if africa had a stalin?
It is undeniable that stalin oversaw the biggest economic growth in history add to that africa has the most natural resources in the planet. Itd also cause a shock across the planet cause theyd be missing mineral resources.

Not much

You are talking as if Amerikkka does not try to coup or kill non-African leaders. It always works in Africa because often the African leaders’ closest associate are ready to betray him at the first sight of Western cockkk.

>>2247987
Africa would have much better literacy rates and healthcare. Most of the backward practices would be gone as well. But Africa does not deserve Stalin, they love Western cockkk too much,



 

I remember saying in one of the threads here that Drumpf is hitting finance porkies in the only place that it hurts, and there is going to be retaliation. Feeling vindicated right now. Besides, fucking up the US Treasury bond market could potentially threaten the US Dollar's position as the de-facto world currency, and Amerilards definitely don't want that.

Why is private property bad?

If I don't own my shirt, then I yield all agency of my attire to whoever owns my shirt. I cannot dress as I wish. If I want to exercise, I am at the whim of the shirt owner to provide for me a proper exercise shirt. My shirt could be taken from me, for whatever arbitrary reason. I require ownership of my shirt to be able to exercise, or dress formally for an event or work, or casually for a night out with friends. Otherwise, I can only participate in these events with permission of the shirt owner. And therefor, I am controlled by the shirt owner.

you could just use bourgeoisie instead of rich, since the problem is private ownership of the means of production, not having money. rich is arbitrary, but living off income from owning things instead of having to work is pretty distinct.

>>2248560
>But I need land for daily living just as much as I need a shirt.
what do you mean by that? like are you farming your own food or you mean you need a place to sleep at night?

>>2249304
It would be true if talking to a communist, but the term bourgeoisie is not apt for discussing with a non communist sympathizer because for them is just a word we communist nerds use. So no, it is not pragmatic to say what you say

>>2249372
"workers" vs "owners"

everyone likes a self made man, no one likes someone who lives off inheritance. just dont argue with them about specific individuals. if they are receptive i like to go off on monopoly and say how they dont compete in the market or make anything new and live off corruption by buying out senators for laws to protect them and kickbacks. great when the wifi goes out and you can explain why they haven't upgraded the lines in two decades. then you can slip in municipal ownership for natural monopolies like electric and water because there cant be a market and competition is human nature so we all have to step in together as a democracy to regulate their greed.

>>2249388
Maybe this is true of USA workers, but at least in my experience, it is very common for working people to hate rich people, they are not percieved as self made men, but as robbers, maybe because i live in a petit beourgeoise country and to be a poor owner of something is not uncommon

>>2248544
Another dumbass who can’t differentiate between personal and private property. Personal property is everything you personally use. Your car, your toothbrush, your tv, your clothes, your reasonable amount of food, your little garden you use to grow lemons for lemonade, your house, etc.


Private property is when you own water reservoirs, mining complexes, market centers, larger scale farm, centers of community interaction, markets, industrial complexes, apartment blocks, etc.

Why did the spirit of communism die? Has the global bourgeoisie strengthened itself, corrected the mistakes that contributed to its removal, and cemented itself then countries that were communist have returned to the oppressive system they had before.

the "ultras" will have to do revolution but the third world revenge fantasy is not going to happen, but what will have to happen is the non mls in the first world have to produce a revolution from non ML methods, whatever that is we cannot know, but it does mean when it happens we have to do what we can to support it

Because doing nothing is easier. Liberalism asks nothing of the citizen but passively consent to the liberal order being enforced beyond choice, as a matter of fact, as human nature. The most important issues are rarely in play, not in earnest anyway. And then the culture war is presented as the path of least resistance.

The culture war may look like it's taken seriously and mobilizes people. Like there is the volition to change things. But if you look closer you notice that this conditioned to humongous expenditures in media, culture and liberal organizing, the whole superstructure thing needs to move in unison to uphold this false consciousness. The moment the money stops flowing, all the rage goes away, nobody knows what to do or how to feel if they are not told exactly, in children's terms.

>>2249363
i think the treatlers will get jealous of the dengists and do the rev and then they will cooperate together. but i would just call that an extension of ML. china can basically press the button then because they wouldn't have to divert resources to self defense or try to crack the code of lithography. but the transition would still take a couple decades. they basically have the resources now it just took a while because they were so far behind and had to build a war chest for protection. we just happen to be at the time where they have already set up the board for a win either way, unless the imperialists opt for nuclear armageddon, or threaten it to keep their population enslaved reversing the "free world" dynamic for a few century. i just think they already are socialist and i think the view that they have to wait for the whole world to catch up to full communism before being allowed to call themselves that is getting kinda close to the paternalistic meme view that third worldists accuse ultras of having, that people who have never got of the couch are gonna show us real communism for the first time, when in fact real communism has been tried and it worked spectacularly, never actually went away, and is still working right now.

We have geese year round in Michigan. They have gotten noticeably more populous the past 10 years. Just the other day they were blocking traffic on my way home. Not that I care - that's just nature baby. In a sense they are like deer, except deer actually cause damage (traffic accidents). I can understand open hunting for geese, but to call for their gassing is insane.

if the labor theory of value isnt true why dont jobs pay a living wahe?
Ever wondered that?
If the labor theory of value isnt true you could make the argument that youre not being exploited and that taxation theft.
But common sense dictates this isnt true. Common sense dictates there are men sitting on towards extracting everyones surplus labor like vampires.

>capitalists will run out of workers and (eventually) consumers of their commodities if they simply work everyone to death. Death by overwork is more characteristic of the slave mode of production.
You say capitalism is sustainable to the worker? WRONG. The consumption of labour power by capital is, besides, so rapid that the labourer, half-way through his life, has already more or less completely lived himself out. He falls into the ranks of the supernumeraries, or is thrust down from a higher to a lower step in the scale. It is precisely among the work-people of modern industry that we meet with the shortest duration of life. Dr. Lee, Medical Officer of Health for Manchester stated, “that the average age at death of the Manchester … upper middle class was 38 years, while the average age at death of the labouring class was 17; while at Liverpool those figures were represented as 35 against 15. It thus appeared that the well-to-do classes had a lease of life which was more than double the value of that which fell to the lot of the less favoured citizens.”

It is not the normal maintenance of the labour-power which is to determine the limits of the working-day; it is the greatest possible daily expenditure of labour-power, no matter how diseased, compulsory, and painful it may be, which is to determine the limits of the labourers’ period of repose. Capital cares nothing for the length of life of labour-power. All that concerns it is simply and solely the maximum of labour-power, that can be rendered fluent in a working-day. It attains this end by shortening the extent of the labourer’s life, as a greedy farmer snatches increased produce from the soil by robbing it of its fertility.

The capitalistic mode of production (essentially the production of surplus-value, the absorption of surplus-labour), produces thus, with the extension of the working-day, not only the deterioration of human labour-power by robbing it of its normal, moral and physical, conditions of development and function. It produces also the premature exhaustion and death of this labour-power itself. [73] It extends the labourer’s time of production during a given period by shortening his actual life-time.

>capitalists will run out of workers and (eventually) consumers of their commodities if they simply work everyone to death.
This happens constantly. It culminates to what we call "general crisis of capitalism."

Supreme Court to hear case over FBI's mistaken home raid
The family was never compensated by the federal government for the damage or the trauma caused by the "wrong house" raid, according to ABC News. Martin's son developed anxiety. She quit her job coaching track because the starting gun scared her. In 2019, the family filed a lawsuit against the FBI under the Federal Tort Claims Act accusing the agency of trespass, assault and battery, emotional distress and more. The law allows individuals to sue government employees acting in their official capacity for some civil wrongs.

Tudeh Party of Iran, The statement of the Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iranon the occasion of May Day, the International Workers' Day
The Central Committee of the Tudeh Party of Iran congratulates you on the occasion of the May 1st, the International Workers' Day. This year marks the 136th anniversary of May Day around the world, which was established during the First Congress of the Second International in 1889. The auspicious tradition of rallying on the first day of May began with the protest campaign of American workers to reduce working hours from 14 hours a day to 8 hours on May 1, 1886, and then on May 4, it was met with a violent and bloody crackdown on protesting workers in Chicago. The May Day events, which is taking place today around the world, including in our homeland, with the participation of hundreds of millions of workers and working people, is not only a commemoration of the heroic struggle of the American workers, but also a call to the continuation of the struggle of workers around the world against the inhumane and exploitative system of capitalism in order to build a new world.

15 years of attacks on the working class and the popular strata of Greece
These days mark 15 years since the social-democratic PASOK government announced the activation of the “support mechanism” for the Greek economy by the EU and the IMF. This was followed by three agreements (memoranda) with the EU for the “salvation” of the Greek economy, accompanied by thousands of anti-people laws at the expense of the working class and the popular strata. We are talking about savage cuts in wages and pensions, heavy taxation, the dismantling of social security and collective agreements, a fierce attack on trade union action, the mass bankruptcy of the self-employed, small tradesmen and poor farmers, the privatization of critical sectors, the underfunding and shutdowns in health and education.

Today marks exactly 80 years since the death of Nazi Germany's leader Adolf Hitler. Hitler took his own life at the age of 56 together with his partner Eva Braun in a bunker in Berlin.

The Second World War in Europe ended with the victory of the Allies and Germany's surrender just over a week later.

Hitler had married Braun only the day before his death. After their suicide, the couple's bodies were burned in the courtyard of the bunker.

During his acceptance speech, Marx Commie railed against Yankee imperialism
>As I've been warning for months, America wants our land, our resources, our water, our country. But these are not idle threats, President Trump is trying to break us so that America can own us. That will never, ever happen.
>Throughout our history there have been turning points when the worlds fortunes were in the balance. That was the case at the start of the second world war just as it was at the end of the cold war and each time Canada chose to step up–to assert ourselves as a free, sovereign and ambitious nation–to lead the path of democracy and freedom
>We are once again at one of those hinge moments of history. Our old relationship with the United States, a relationship based on steadily increasing integration, is over. The system of open, global trade, anchored by the United States–a system that Canada has relied on since the second world war, a system that while not perfect, has helped deliver prosperity for our country for decades–is over. These are tragedies, but it's also our new reality. We are over the shock of the American betrayal but we should never forget the lesson. We have to look out for ourselves, and above all, we have to look out for eachother.
>We will chart a new path forward because this is Canada and we decide what happens here. We will need to think big and act bigger. We will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations… The point is that we can give ourselves far more than the Americans can ever take away.
>United over our history we have done hard, seemingly impossible things. United we have built one nation, in harsh conditions, despite a sometimes hostile neighbour… United we will win this trade war… We will fight back with everything we have to get the best deal for Canada. We will protect our workers and businesses and above all we will build an independent future for our country
>Vive le Canada!
