<Freelance (sometimes spelled free-lance or free lance), freelancer, or freelance worker, are terms commonly used for a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term. Freelance workers are sometimes represented by a company or a temporary agency that resells freelance labor to clients; others work independently or use professional associations or websites to get work.

This is my question: are freelancers PETIT BOURGEOIS or not? if not, what are they? proletariat? and whats the distinction between a freelancer and a smol business owner with no employees?

Proletarian. Most of these >>2362534 are delivery people, seasonal workers etc., and even the "intellectual" ones largely have it worse than the average labor aristoKKKrat.

>>2373994
How the fuck are freelancers and seasonal workers supposed to organize?

read the section on piece-wages in capital vol 1.

For one big example, Look at all that had to happen for the Bolsheviks to succeeded
>WW1
>Nicholas making the decision to go to the front line to lead the troops
>The February Revolution
>Kerensky re-entering Russia into WW1
>Kerensky's government collapsing because he tried to orchestrate a coup on himself and then double crossed the Army by arming red militias in petrograd
>The liberals giving the Bolsheviks(among other parties) guns to help stop the Army from overthrowing the provisional government.
>The other socialist parties(which were more popular) believing Lenin would reinstall the constituent assembly
>When the SRs did rise up they refused to execute captured bolshevik officers or do much of anything.
>When the Petrograd sailors rebelled they sat on their island printing newspapers hoping that the people of Russia would realize Lenin was a big meaniehead and get rid of him.

Obviously the future is not a wide-open blank slate where anything can happen. Even massive upheavals like the First World War had observable conditions. But the way it unfolded(with Belgium being invaded and Britain, followed by America, entering the conflict) was due to random chances and the decisions of a handful of individuals.

Agents don't make mistakes in a vacuum, they are pushed into mistakes by the actions of other agents lrn2 war

This is actually also the reason the ussr collapsed, the counter revolution was putting constant pressure on the workers' state on all fronts, accelerating the rate at which they made mistakes

>>2368637

Just how fucked is the Russian Tsardom? Are we talking point of no return fucked? Does this end in balkanization or is Russia on path for something worse?

It looks like the central powers are preparing for a color revolution to take place, with Lenin's "theory" of "imperalism" looking like it could have come straight from the Prussian glowies. I know most social democrats are opposed to the war right now, which is fair, but the Russian expansion into the balkans was crucial in containing Habsburg hegemony and their continued presence on the Eastern front is still crucial for preventing the pan-Germanist agenda from coming to fruition. Critical support for Okhrana!

It's literally over for the Tsardom

Okhrana glowie Lenin thinks he can implement socialism without having geopolitiks in mind. Bro the Russian Monarchy is in the periphery fighting against the English Empire which represents capitalist hegemony. If England falls, capitalism falls.

As a Serb, I am sick and tired of explaining to Westerners that no, Croats and Bosniaks and Kosovar Albanians were not the "good guys" of the 90s wars.

But also as a Serb, I am sick and tired of the perpetual reactionary victimhood and chauvinism of Serbs regarding the wars.

No, as a communist I say FUCK NATO, but also it's a bit like being German and complaining about the Allied bombing of Germany in WW2. Nobody gives a shit. I guess people give a shit about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but I'd argue that's thanks to Japan's cultural capital being greater than the knowledge of Westerners regarding what Imperial Japan did.

Anyway, nobody was fighting to save Tito's socialism (the revisionists/opportunists already took over by that point, some of the younger ones still in politics today), nor was anybody fighting to preserve Yugoslavia. It was a chain of reactionary wars start to finish. And it could have been prevented. People died for what? Nothing.

The post-disintegration states of Serbia and Croatia are exceptionally reactionary in normalising fascist collaborators, even compared with the others. Serbia having sheltered the Islamophobe mass murderers of the Bosnia war like Mladic and Karadzic and rehabilitating the Chetniks, and Croatia revering holocaust deniers and mass murderers like Tudjman while minimising the deeds of the Ustashe in a almost Ukraine-esque way. Slovenia deserves a special mention for being a reactionary anticommunist shithole, but Bosnia's mostly fucked over by the chvddery enabled and empowered in the neo-Chetnik Republika Srpska

Hot take, Yugoslavia was doomed because of the short-sightedness of Marxism-Leninism on the national question
Let me explain. The Yugoslav communists followed the Leninist line of national self-determination. They were opposed to the nations within Yugoslavia being assimilated into one, Yugoslavs. This would spell the ultimate doom of Yugoslavia. It is thoroughly idiotic to think nations have a "right" to eternal existence. Look at France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, etc. or look at China. All spawned from multiple petty nations to form a large one. Sure, regional identities persist in some places. This has the political relevance of an American saying he's Texan. A cute embellishment, and nothing more than that.

They just had their yearly conference yesterday. New board for the next year.

Any love for the US Pirate Party?

They aren't ideologically locked into any specific socialist or communist current but they do good work. A good example of "syncretic" not becoming spineless centrist

Australia.

Now merged with other similar minor parties to be part of our new Fusion Party, which is generally centrist-progressive but got pushback this election because some candidates were wacky cookers, recommending voters put far-rightoid parties above Greens socdems.

TL;DR: banning possession of child porn is bad because le information wants to be free. more specifically it's about the loli case. the point that CP is used as a battering ram for repressive legislation is true however
>>2372949
dude, people still push the historical negationist view that Troberg "ruined the party" or whatever, rather than Falkvinge destroying any momentum the party had with the child porn shit, right in the middle of the election season. last time I was involved with the party no one had any fundamentally negative to say about the guy. Falkvinge's defense of loli is repeated on this very board on a regular basis

while we're on the subject of PP, and the Swedish party in particular, what always annoyed me was that they were pro free software and pro open protocols in words but not in action. the entire intranet of the Party ran (still runs?) on some proprietary Microsoft crap. far too many Party members again and again encouraged people to become useds of sites like Facebook and Twitter, rather than herding them towards libre alternatives

Show me a picture of one Pirate Party member who doesn't look like a fucked up retard.

If building popular support and organizing the masses gets you killed (Fred Hampton, MLK, Salvadorian and Guatemalan peasants, etc.) and a violent insurrection against the state is impossible, then what's plan? Due to climate change time is limited. And the possibility of a nuclear war keeps increasing (although seemingly unlikely for now).

Will these socialist groups like the PSA create enough class consciousness among the masses? Will anarchist organizations finally cultivate the discipline they need to build dual power?

Oh, some this LeftCom group actually rejects ᴉuᴉlossnW's favorite "Communist". OK, then. I don't know who this "Damen" person, I don't care who he is, I don't want to know who he is. I don't care about the minuscule differences between a meme/troll tendency that exists only to be a controlled opposition to fascism.

Today is the anniversary of the Entebbe Airport Operation in which the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Revolutionary Cells (Germany) killed Yonatan Netanyahu, brother of Benjamin Netanyahu. This brave undertaking, despite its failure, was made possible by General Idi Amin Dada's staunch pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist, and anti-imperialist stance. Though he was only in power a few years, it's clear that Idi Amin could have been another Ghaddafi had he not been ousted from power. I highly recommend the documentary Général Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait for more details. His proposals for African sovereignty and self-reliance were so radical that it scared the shit out of the neighboring comprador countries. Amin came to power ousting British puppet Milton Obote, and it was none other than Obote the coalition put back in power after Amin's ouster. Julius Nyerere, the self-proclaimed socialist president of Tanzania, led the charge against Amin, only to sell out against socialism in the 1980s. I also recommend following Amin's son, Mr. Lumumba Amin, for more truth nukes on his dad, and some daily denunciations of the Zionist entity: https://www.facebook.com/HusseinLumumbaAmin

Yes I know worker coops aren't socialism because they still have markets and commodity production but could they at least break the power of the bourgeoisie since there would be no more capitalists at most there would be proletarians and petit bourgeoises

Given this isn't turning 100% of for profit businesses in a country into worker coops a good intermediate goal since it starves the bourgeoisie of their profits which they use to rule with politics?
