>limited border tensions in a context of geopolitical disagreement that in good part started because of ussr hindering chinese access to nuke while acting like the ceo of socialism justify nuking their ass
retaded and frankly undefensible position

Again, Mao wanted to join USA since 1944, what nuke access you are talking about? You are inventing reason to justify chinese agression and they all look fucking petty. USSR saved China's ass from Japan and had zero gratitude for that. Of course tehy were reserved in sharing access to military secrets with someone who was looking to ally with imperialists all the time they were helping them.

I was paraphrasing, but it's from the preface of "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy.
>No social order is ever destroyed before all the productive forces for which it is sufficient have been developed, and new superior relations of production never replace older ones before the material conditions for their existence have matured within the framework of the old society.

isn't this a case for acceleration?

>>1390005
Not exactly, recall:
>[…]a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.

Without building working class power, we will face common ruin.

>>1390005
Not really. It's just a statement that you can't build a new society until the old society has created the proper conditions for its own destruction. Whether or not it has done so is very often outside of anybody's control.

All I can do is get the best deal for my client or say fuck this we’re going to trial. I can’t just make up the law. I can’t pavlov the ADAs unless it goes on appeal and I win. ‘Justice’ is inherently reactionary to the laws promulgated by those in power who create the law. I sure as shit am not one of them and it’s not like we are going to ‘just vote!1!!!’ our way into the current political structure. To have this discussion at the higher conceptual level is to have the ‘revolution when?’ discussion all over again. To think electoralism will fix it is a farce. To think those prosecuting or writing the law will fix it is to be Charlie Brown with the football. To think i could fix anything on my own is a farce. I can’t even pay my bills on appointed cases. The avenues for appeal are minimal. The dockets are overloaded. Everyone is out for a buck, you can’t unionize any of them here. It’s all pointless except for the struggle and when I know I actually helped someone. I don’t really know what else to say.

apparently there's a golden ratio discovered by corporate food scientists. If you can achieve a certain ratio of sugar to hydrogenated vegetable oil, with the complimentary flavor and texture, the subject will eat far beyond satiation compared to a subject eating unprocessed food. Decades of research went into making the population obese.

Mixing sugar, salt and fat all three together has been a disaster for the population.

economic factors are the main driving point but it's also fallacious to reduce everything to it. People can have a right to do something like have an abortion but due to cultural reasons not have one which is an aberration of ML 'worldview' Marxism which reduces everything to matter, biology and economics which considers culture as a spook instead of something to democratise, which is a incentive for people to inclined to socialism to be free from wage slavery, so they can pursue their cultural values such as art and spirituality not force everyone to be a atheist philistine fedora tipper and eradicate all personality.

Conservative minorities are over-represented online VS real life, just like white /pol/tards. The reason is white boomers love black people to say conservative anti black shit so they subscribe and pump up black conservative channels.

Black republicans are <10% of all black people in America but they've gotten good at gaming the YT algorithms. They're basically just doing the social media version of Candace Owens

>>1364710
best reply in the thread

It all goes back to class. Those black reactionaries are all petite bourgeoisie or bourgeoisie or hope to use their youtube channel to become petite bourgeoisie. Most black people who have to actually experience the black lived experience know better than to trust republicans even if many hold conservative beliefs

They were conditioned to have an inferiority complex from a young age about not being "white". Instead of rejecting the whiteness like anyone else that's experienced racism, they've accepted it as something to strive for as a coping mechanism

Multipolarist imperialism is better for the communist movement (not the proletariat in of itself, they're gonna be even more wrecked by civil wars and shit) than unipolar imperialism, but both are imperialism.
Sabocat said something along the lines of that, Russia nowadays is like Japan in the 1900's, trying to face western imperialism for it's own benefit, but we all know how that ended up, in Japan allying with the axis.
Western communists are so weak and so full of despair that their best hope is waiting for Russia to become imperialist. Because if Russia (and China) become imperialist, it will be on direct conflict with the west even harder than before and will have the political will to actively oppose it, like Germany did during WW1 giving rise to the first communist country in the world.
That's the hope that multipolaristas have.

>The third camp, also known as third camp socialism or third camp Trotskyism, is a branch of socialism that aims to oppose both capitalism and Stalinism by supporting the organised working class as a "third camp".

>The term arose early during World War II and refers to the idea of two "imperialist camps" competing to dominate the world: one led by the United Kingdom and France and supported by the United States, and the other led by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union and supported by Fascist Italy.

>Dissidents in the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party, witnessing the collaboration of Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler in the invasion and the partition of Poland and the Soviet invasion of the Baltic states, argued that the Soviet Union had actually emerged as a new social formation, which was neither capitalist nor socialist. Adherents of that view, espoused most explicitly by Max Shachtman and closely following the writings of James Burnham and Bruno Rizzi, argued that the Soviet bureaucratic collectivist regime had in fact entered one of two great imperialist "camps" aiming to wage war to divide the world. The first of the imperialist camps, which Stalin and the Soviet Union were said to have joined as a directly participating ally, was headed by Nazi Germany and included most notably Fascist Italy. In that original analysis, the "second imperialist camp" was headed by England and France, actively supported by the United States.

The OP is stupid but this comparison is even dumber.

Christianity is already past its prime, except probably in Latin America, and even there, it will have have the same destiny.

>>1388875
This.

I think I saw that some Christian conspiracy theorists believed that somebody called Sorath caused the Russian Revolution and 'led the Bolsheviks to drive religion out of public life'.

They claim "Sorath will foment opposition through men who are possessed by him, who have strong natures, raving tongues, destructive fury in their emotions, and faces, which outwardly appear like those of animals. They will mock that which is of a spiritual nature" and "Create a new world order without religion in public life, destroying all tradition".

They even claimed that 'Sorath possessed Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Hitler, possibly leading Hitler to his defeat at Stalin's hands'.

-I'm also assuming because of "The Red Sun in the Sky" stuff that drove them to claim that or because of the aesthetics Trotsky made for the Bolsheviks that got ripped off by the fascists? Its honestly hilarious.

I’d say more accurately that if the bourgeoisie opposed Hitler he would have needed to claw away their power whereas they willingly gave it up

But all the other shit? Most liberal bourgeois countries wouldn’t do anything about that regardless of ideology, none of those things threaten power.

So I'm too tired to go into detail now, but I'll say that the Nazis were remarkably fantastic marketers. If you wish to study Nazism theoretically and derive anything of value from it for The Left, then I suppose it'd be important to study their early years and the strategies they employed.

Fascism is, if anything, opportunistic and adaptable. Given it shamelessly stole ideas and imagery from the Left, then it's only fair to dissect it and harvest whatever organs can be used.

Chief among this, I think, is how Nazis managed to turn being a member of the Nazi Party into a whole way of life. At least early on. The armbands. The branded SA cigarettes. Enthusiastic youth groups. And the thing is, once you have a Party give you such a sense of belonging that you're buying shitty cigarettes to smoke "The Party Brand" then you've got a Party you're more likely to stick with, contribute to, so on. Even if you only get a passively interested Party member who never attends any of the meetings, having a branded set of clothes and other commodities to signal "This is my political camp" gives him a reason to give you money.

Honestly, I'd say one of the biggest issues facing America's left is developing a disciplined party force that can restrain the egos of various individuals involved and direct them towards a unifying project. That and developing a stable source of income.

>they willingly gave it up
They didn't "gave it up", they have put him in as their political figure, the real power was still capitalists. Before they actually started to finance him seriously, he was a leader of a small bavarian party with public approval in the range of statistical error.

ur mad greek anarchists do more praxis in a day than youll accomplish in ur lifetime

You absolutely need to be able to cut through the bullshit and call things for what they are. The average person is reasonable enough that will agree you on the basic issues at hand and using just a bit of dialectics during your talk you can quite reasonably get them to a basic Marxist analysis of capitalism, without ever mentioning the words dialectics, Marx, or communism. You absolutely need to draw parallels to any kind of socialist/popular worker's movement that existed and build upon those ideas while simultaneously pointing out the flaws that they created (but always giving context to those) and comparing them to the failures of the current system.

You also need to be passionate. People do not care about weak-wrist socialist talking about the problematic language Marx uses (as I've had the displeasure to hear during a reading group meeting, instead of focusing on outreach and tactics) – people do not care about navel-gazers. You need to be fierce, call out the bluff of the capitalist, dissect through the media machine and offer a reasonable alternative, always building your platform on the well-being of the proletariat, the degrading state it is finding itself, the injustice it faces – you need to know the woes and ills of the people you're trying to organize.

To this day, there are still some people that remember what I talked about because I was fierce and passionate, not because I drew out a whiteboard and started discussing Hegel. Don't be afraid to be a called a communist or socialist. Own it. Say it proudly and then proclaim what you are fighting for. Say it with passion and heart and people will follow you, not because they are sheep but because the proletariat needs a revolutionary theory in the age of imperialism and it only has two alternatives: communism or fascism. It is your duty to dispel myths about both and offer a coherent theory.

The anticommunists have nothing. Their followers are just a misguided proletariat, their ideologues might have millions at their disposal but you always have the guts to go into the public and proclaim what you are instead of hiding behind layers of mass media and lies. Their worldview breaks down as soon as you start pointing out the contradictions between their words and actions. But you need to know the proletariat for this. Engels lived in the slums of England. Lenin mingled with the working class whenever he wasn't writing theory. Stalin was proletarian. You need Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

How about provide a source for this other man you keep blathering about you belligerent retard and stop making baseless assertions. Even Google when you look up "CIA and Pinochet" gets immediate hits for CIA support of Pinochet.

Have you other considered this other man of yours which you can't even fucking name (which makes me suspicious of what you're even fucking talking about exists), was backed by the CIA while the CIA was also backing Pinochet?

If practicality for the purposes of revolution is your objective, then it might behoove you to take first aid, or to learn a new language, like Spanish.

But it is likely the case that you want to go for something that would easily sustain you, and therefore it is your objective to have a "real job," for which riches fall at your feet, etc. It would be an imperative to understand that it is often the case that we are not adequately trained for the "job world." In truth, the most they do is trying to make us accept compliance to their capitalist domination, wearing us down, mystifying relations and the material world, etc.

" liberal-leaning think tank in Washington, D.C., found that more than a third of recent computer science graduates aren’t working in their chosen major; of that group, almost a third say the reason is that there are no jobs available"

The situation is even more grim for those who get a Ph.D. in science, math, or engineering. The Georgetown study states it succinctly: “At the highest levels of educational attainment, STEM wages are not competitive.”
