I'm working on furthering my education and have heard about this guy Gabriel Rockhill. I'm about 100 pages into his book and am enjoying it so far, but man I was shocked by how much hate the guy gets online from other academics and podcasters/commentators.

The guys thesis is pretty much that after the second world war many European academics from the Frankfurt School got CIA money and appointments due to government connections. Is this guy just a tinfoil hat or do you back this take?

the OSS? very weird time period for american intelligence where you'd have the OSS working with communists in China and Vietnam while more or less open fascists like Charles Willoughby were doing intelligence work in the Phillipines and Papua new guinea.

there's a discussion to be had about Stalin being a bonapartist but I always found the great man theory view that he was ruling like somesort of personalist absolute monarch to not only be ahistorical but also not really get how modern states function in general. Even fascist leaders like hitler and ᴉuᴉlossnW that did try personalist rule in the modern era immediately faced internal opposition from the power blocs that put them there as well as sabotage there own State in the process.

My post had nothing to do with Stalin's actual position in power and everything with what the CIA at the time thought it was. There's a document of testimony from a Soviet informant given TO the CIA that people who learn history from internet memes have convinced themselves was actual some statement by CIA higher-ups about the organization's opinion, when the document itself says otherwise.

>>2696063
Also even the most perfect autocracy is going to in practice be ruled by some sort of collective leadership of ministers, generals, etc. Every autocrat has an inner circle of advisors and confidants that they collaborate with when making decisions. Even Hitler, despite his infallibility being enshrined in German law by the Fuhrerprincip, made decisions collectively alongside Goring, Himmler, Goebbels, the OKW, etc. The CIA document about collective leadership of the politburo is just meant to clarify the fact that Stalin was not a literal God King as their propaganda depicted him. However even the way the described him in that document (as "captain of the team") is still perfectly consistent with how all autocracies operate in practice.

>>2696072
>The CIA document about collective leadership of the politburo is just meant to clarify the fact that Stalin was not a literal God King as their propaganda depicted him.
The CIA document was not some creation of the CIA to remind their own agents, it was a statement by an informant trying to explain to the CIA that their understanding was wrong. There are plenty of other internal CIA documents saying that Stalin was a deranged megalomaniac God figure from the same time period.

As you all know America has been trying to punish Cuba for 67 years (Don't you dare) for freeing themselves from American Neo-colonialism. Trump has imposed tariffs on countries that trade with Cuba and obviously America has already been doing that with the Embargo but this is different because the embargo only prevents ships that have traded with Cuba, the tariffs affect the entire country. I think that these tariffs will affect the material conditions in Cuba but it won't collapse the government, but this is also concerning because the real threat is America invading Cuba like Venezuela, even though the last time America invaded Cuba it didn't go so well this time things are different. America docent use troop-ships to land and engage in traditional combat, America is too pussy for that, instead America uses drones so Cuba would be demolished in war. The only difference between Cuba and Venezuela is that in Cuba there is no opposition movement within the country, outside the country there is the Gusano-lobby of course but there is none of that within the country and I think that the Cuban people might resist and it could turn into an Afghanistan. Because Amerikkka wants to enslave the cuban people and turn them into Amazon warehouse workers and use there island as one giant Epstein-Island and I think that the Cubans won't like that because I'm sure that many of them have read books.

I've been thinking of creating a thread to help develop ways of communicating general theory to just normal people irl.

A lot of people on the internet are usually doomers that think "the modern prole is brainwashed he'll never achieve class. Consciouaness!", but that is not true. I've meet self-proclaimed conservatives agree with many fundamentals of socialism while not even knowing what the word means.

I think all you have to do is be reasonably respected, use understandable terms, and most importantly, use solid IRL examples they see everyday in their life for reference, because its literally undeniable at that point if they see the exploitation in their own lives.

For example to explain the unnecessary nature of capitalism/consumerism use this:
"Isn't it crazy how there's factories still producing X in the modern day? Imagine how much better the world would be if those factories went towards literally anything useful for society like housing, food, etc".
Or for something like surplus value use this:
"If you think about it, corporate profit is literally just theft. If i produce a X for my company i get payed 20 dollars, but my boss gets a profit of 100 dollars, that means he's taking 80% of my hard earned cash without contributing at all to it, thats literally his only job".

>I've meet self-proclaimed conservatives agree with many fundamentals of socialism
Conservatives rarely pick their political orientation based on individual policy preferences. Right wingers consistently vote for parties whose program they almost completely disagree on case-by-case basis. You cant rationally convince them abandon position that wasnt rational in the first place.
One of the biggest blunders lefties make when it comes to potential recruits is mistaking right winger's discontent with current system as the same as theirs. Conservatives do not want more egalitarian, richer, kinder world, their entire ideology is "fuck you, got mine". When a conservative complains about unemployment or high rent, they dont want politicians to solve it on level of entire society, because rising tide lifting all boats means there wont be any people beneath them. Their politics are reflection of a personality structure more than material interests.
Talk to liberals instead, they usually share the same values as we do, they are smarter, more rational, you can have a conversation with them.

If all that was needed was "raising consciousness" (you don't even know what consciousness means, lol) then all those trots and anarchists annoying random people with zines and newspapers would've achieved communism decades ago.

My understanding of SSI/disability is you're ineligible if it's determined that a drug addiction is the reason you're unable to work. What programs are these people receiving benefits under?

Sounds like they're British if you didn't get it. They probably have an easier time getting benefits.

CHANNERS KNOW EVERYTHING!

This is a weird history. But I need to tell you:

CONNECT THE POINTS!

Donald Trump approved “Project Genesis”.

Project Genesis = “Fiat Lux” (see in the Bible). “God created the world” = Project Genesis = recreate the world as God did. A magnificent AI project… Or something more?

How is it connected with Esochannealogy? Homo est spectaculum hominis:
“How do esochanners search the secret board on old 55chan? At 00:00, they write ‘Fiat Lux’”

Today, the phrase “Fiat Lux” is no longer a biblical myth or a secret board password; it is the activation command for Project Genesis. Approved by Donald Trump, this project represents the ultimate goal of the NRx (Neoreactionary) elite: to recreate the world as a programmable simulation.

A lot of images and posts of the last general got broken. So I think it's better to make a new one.

Discuss anything on Southeast Asian politics. Coming 2024 Elections, open orgs, People that should be dead for different reasons running in Malaysia's elections or just random shit. There are still dozens of us… hopefully! Starting off this general with massive wave of cult sex camps.

Why do MLs hate Trotsky so much? What takes did he have that makes MLs absolutely despise him? Wasn't he even endorsed by Lenin to be his successor? I feel like even major revisionists like Tito and Gorbachev don't get as much hate as Trotsky.

“The problem with Trotsky is that Stalin got to kill him instead of us”
Too right wing

>>2686312
Why are regular Leninists annoying?

Trotsky himself is not that important a figure

It's the trotskyists who skinwalk him to do cias work who are a problem

He collaborated with Gestapo to badmouth Russia and openly said that German soldiers would treat Soviet people better than "party elites"

>>2686055
>It is wrong to not hate enemies of working peoples.
Cute posturing I guess.
>Wrong. Trotskyites are among principal enemies of working peoples because trotskyite deviation is mainstream in imperialist nations.
Very funny to say this in response to me saying "revisionist "Marxism-Leninism" and Trotskyism have both convergently evolved to be essentially identical". Like yeah, it is, and that probably applies to you too buddy.

As a long time student of Burma, I will tell you that the Burma/Myanmar issue is the lowest possible priority for anyone and if you bring it up around anyone in the know, they will likely roll their eyes. Most people just call it whatever now.

How did you react when Trump won? I personally drank a bottle of champagne because I knew it was the beginning of the end of the USA. He is the worst kind of man and everyone knows it. Watching him destroy the US for 10 years while in and out of office has been so vindicating. He has made China into a moral leader. He is such a great capstone on the genocidal project founded in bourgeois revolution - the Settler Entity.
