Because of IDPOL.
And i dont mean that in the "those darn radlibs and their key-jiggling issues" it's way more Material than that.
The christian/atheist west is basically being flooded with non-whites from 100 different ethnicities and varying religions. At the same time the west is seeing a "cultural revolution" reharding LGBT rights and womens rights and their place in society.
Why would the muslim immigrant cuck on everyone of his backward islamic values so they could own the means of production? Why would the gay/trans/woman cuck on their rainbow feminist values so they could own the means of production? Why would whites cuck on their white majority to appease newcomers they have so little in common with and that dont even like them and not create their own ethnostate just so they could own the means of production? Why would white christian conservatives cuck on their values to appease Progressives they think are demons and that hayes them in return so they can own the means of production? I could go on and on about it but you get my point, none of those demographics would compromise on these values that they deem necessary to live and consider their opponents to be exisyencial threats. The era of nonsensical western political coalitions with big tent orgs that reunite gay activists with muslim, immigrants and evangelical brown or their rightist version that reunite antiracist conservative christian whites racist christian whites with white libertarian progressive with brown bourgeois immigrant and lumpen pagan neonazis wont last forever.
I feel like communism could only become a possibility if we merge all big religions Dune style while forcing everyone to racemix at gunpoint OR by doing racial genocides/race separatism so basically national-socialism.
What do you think? I fell very blackpilled about the whole thing.(One post spam IP)

He believes this despite the fact that he said in the same sentence

>it places itself above society and alienates itself more and more from it
These two views are contradictory because if the state keeps alienating itself more and more from society, then at a certain point the state is no longer dependent upon class antagonisms as a means of its existence and therefore will perpetuate its own existence whether or not these class antagonisms exist.

>naturally forming product
not found
>wither away
says the opposite:
<According to Engels, the bourgeois state does not “wither away", but is “abolished” by the proletariat in the course of the revolution. What withers away after this revolution is the proletarian state or semi-state.
>The state which despite arising out of society must necessarily place itself above society
>it places itself above society and alienates itself more and more from it
he is saying this as an "is" statement, and not as an "ought to" statement
<But in order that these antagonisms, these classes with conflicting economic interests, might not consume themselves and society in fruitless struggle, it became necessary to have a power, seemingly standing above society, that would alleviate the conflict and keep it within the bounds of 'order'; and this power, arisen out of society but placing itself above it,
and alienating itself more and more from it, is the state.
<This expresses with perfect clarity the basic idea of Marxism with regard to the historical role and the meaning of the state. The state is a product and a manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms. The state arises where, when and insofar as class antagonism objectively cannot be reconciled. And, conversely, the existence of the state proves that the class antagonisms are irreconcilable

Why do liberals love this myth so much? Conservative bourgeoisie just demonize revolutions in general (except the burger "revolution") But the liberals always break revolutions into two phases: The "good" one based on reforms and the "bad" one based on violence.

Planned economies can work but that doesn't imply capitalism will be replaced by it nor does it imply capitalism will inevitability collapse… capitalist countries are chugging along just fine. Sure boom bust cycles exist but the trajectory of economy is upward in the long run.
>but muh homeless
Tbh most of them are druggies and waste away their money for buying new drugs, plus it can be solved by government programs or societal welfare initiatives without government
>access to food for poor
Just came across a Sikh temple recently that gives unlimited high quality food for free, plus many NGO's do this literally even without a government intervention

Nothing seems to suggest collapse of capitalism. Also more and more countries are adopting reasonable regulations, free trade, welfare programs etc (capitalism) as we speak

Yes, that's what you read, even I didn't believe it when I started thinking about it, but now I can explain: The USSR wanted to conquer the West by funding and infiltrating parties and unions to instigate strikes and revolutions, as well as funding armed guerrilla warfare. The United States countered this by seeking to turn revolutionaries into hippies. The Frankfurt School came to America and worked with the OSS (Proto-CIA), they hated the Stalinism of the USSR and transformed the Class Struggle adapted to the Identity Mentality, that is, it is no longer fomenting and agitating the division and antagonism between rich (bourgeois) and poor (proletarian), but between everything and everyone, but always from the perspective of oppressor x oppressed (man x woman, white x black, straight x gay, etc.). Remember what happened to the Occupy Wall Street Movement. Identity Politics is nothing more than American Imperialism in disguise.

Much has been written about the rise of the Christian Right in the late 1970s. Most of what has been written, however, has focused on the Christian Right as a reactionary movement within the ranks of American evangelicalism. Evangelicals, so the argument goes, had become so rankled by the successes of political and social liberalism during the turbulent 1960s that they finally burst out into the field of politics to beat back the liberals and reconstruct America according to the criteria of old-time religion. Although the “reactionary argument” is not without merit, it fails to give due consideration to another aspect of the Christian Right.

Many Christian Right activists did not come out of a fundamentalist or Pentecostal or even new evangelical background but rather came out of the counterculture. For these youth, converting to biblically-grounded Christianity was an act of rebellion against their theologically liberal and mainstream parents. In the early 1970s, no one could confidently predict where these new Christians would end up politically. There was a hope among politically liberal evangelicals that the neophytes would become a part of the Democratic Party. But during the course of the decade, Republican operatives joined forces with politically conservative evangelical leaders and convinced the majority of these countercultural but Christian youth to support Republican causes and Republican candidates.

Once the countercultural Christians melded into the larger evangelical movement, most observers no longer detected their presence as a distinctive group. But the countercultural spirit was indeed in evidence. And as one looks at the cultural pedigree of some of the radical activists of the Christian Right, one discovers that many of them were of countercultural descent. In the final analysis, it is hard to argue that the Christian Right could have arisen without the participation of countercultural Christians. The Christian Right, then, was not only a reaction against the sixties, it was also an expression of the sixties counterculture.

follow up:

>the countercultural example of the Jesus People provided the language for conservative Christians to present themselves as outsiders of the dominant culture as the religious right accrued political power in the 1980s. Even if they were a majority of the population, as conservative Christians argued during the Reagan years — Jerry Falwell named his organization Moral Majority for a reason — their self-identity as marginalized figures in the American scene proved especially useful in a political context in which other outsiders, including racial minorities, feminists, and gay and lesbian people increasingly asserted their political rights.


>While their critics would argue the religious right represented a cultural and political establishment that had denied other people their rightful place in American society, conservative white evangelicals lashed back that they were the nation’s real outsiders, the authentic counterculture to an amoral secular culture.


>Jesus People often called themselves “radical Christians.” When Jerry Falwell implored conservative Christians in the 1980s to become “revolutionaries” for Jesus, he was tapping directly into that legacy. Co-opting the Jesus People’s outsider stance to justify their own entry into politics, white evangelicals took control of the Republican Party and set their sights on winning the nation.

What's up with all the edgy Nazi groups emerging and getting popular all of a sudden? Before 2008 they were nonexistent. In the 1990s they were so small in number that their only means of spreading the message was rallies, flyers, pickets, AM radio stations where they could sometimes sneak in those views or even public access television (see "Race and Reason" by Tom Metzger). But now their propaganda can be found through a Google search. Why?

Do you think this is the equivalent of the the 60s/70s emergence of new left groups. I mean, it’s not one to one, given that the size for the left’s group in those days were way bigger but I would say the idea of constant rise and fall of these smaller groups does somewhat fit the bill. And the rise of groups from their ranks does fit. The only difference is that it’s kinda in reverse, in that the “peak” would’ve been the in 1968 for new left groups but these groups blew their load too early with Charlottesville

>But we can't really afford to alienate all religious proles. Just because we shouldn't appeal to religious chauvinism doesn't mean we should repeat the whole League of Militant Atheist debacle. It is simply not productive, as the Afghanistan experience showed us.

It depends on the material conditions of the state. Yeah if your a communist in Afghanistan. You'll have to adopt or align with reactionaries. Because you have to drive the imperialist away first and foremost. If you're in chili you might need to take an anti abortion stance because the catholic church has its claws in the minds of citizens. If your in Sweden the last thing you would want to do is appeal to religion it would just alienate people. If you're in the U.S being a militant atheist is good because you're driving the fucking stake into the heart of the most reactionary American institutions as it's frailing about and having a temper tantrum. Another thing with the U.S is even for how reactionary the country isbthe majority of people don't want the sex police banging on their door making sure they aren't having gay sex.

Sometimes you have to work with the culture you have and take the opportunities you can to change it. But not actively imbued yourself in the culture War as the class war comes first. Once the workers have their own institutions and their own material base to project power that's when social issues come.
