Goth has never been right wing, like ever. If anything it has leaned left. Zoomers can't comprehend that people in the early 70s post-punk scene used offensive imagery for shock value it seems.
Pagans are mostly harmless retarded schizotypal hippies and metalheads for the most part. They shouldn't be encouraged but they're not a threat.
And in any case, so what if a movement has a right wing presence?
Why should leftists surrender whole spheres of art and culture and aesthetics to the right?
That's just granting the right an easy win in the cultural sphere, which translates into a broader propaganda win, and more people into that style of art being funneled into right wing ideology.
It's the moral obligation of the left to claim these things for our own, to push the right out.
If some young person gets into black metal for example and only sees Burzum and Nazi shit they're more likely to become a Nazi. If they get into it and see leftist bands, then maybe they'll head into a left wing pipeline. Don't underestimate the role of soft power and culture in developing a person's personality and beliefs.

Because mainstream western leftism is Nazism with an expanded definition of the master race

these's also these 'BIPOC' Indigenous revival faiths that are just stylized ceremonies, no one actually believes in them and that they are promoted by a handful of pretentious academics and activists

Minnesota medical drivers plead for help from politicians after national business cancels contract over fraud allegations
A national medical transportation business says allegations of fraud caused it to recently cancel a 20-year contract with a local company. The company says it's not true. From the Minnesota State Capitol steps, a group of roughly 95 non-emergency transportation drivers, most East African, say they're being targeted.

A viral video of the altercation shows agents dragging her out of her car while she yells that she’s disabled and trying to go to the doctor. Rahman is autistic and in treatment for a previous traumatic brain injury, which she told agents as they dragged her to an unmarked car. She typically uses a cane.

States eulogize Charlie Kirk with new laws promoting religion and free speech
A new Kansas law will allow college students to sue their schools for free-speech violations. In Tennessee, a new law will encourage teachers and professors to include “the positive impacts of religion” in American history courses. The common factor: Both are being done in the name of Charlie Kirk.

Dockworkers Against Russia’s and Israel’s Wars
Ahead of May Day 2022, two months after Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine, Ukrainian trade unionists called for solidarity with the invaded country. Artem Tidva, a Ukrainian left-winger and labor activist, addressed international unions calling for actions to help stop the Russian war machine. In Sweden, such action was already underway. In March 2022, Swedish dockers had begun a blockade of Russian ships. This decision, supported by a nationwide vote among the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union’s approximately one thousand members, highlighted the complicity of global capitalist mechanisms in facilitating Russia’s evasion of sanctions. Yet it also met with resistance from both employers and politicians, and the union faced practical problems in identifying ships belonging to Russia. Yet despite legal challenges, including two lawsuits, Swedish dockers continued their solidarity effort. These efforts earned support in wider society, not least thanks to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky mentioning the action in a speech. Erik Helgeson, a dockworker in Gothenburg for the last twenty years, was one of the union activists involved. Deputy national chairman of the Swedish Dockworkers’ Union, he was fired from his port job in 2025 — this time following another solidarity action, against Israeli shipping. In an interview, Tidva and Hegelson spoke about the Swedish actions and the role of worker solidarity in stopping the machinery of war.

You're an idealist, plain and simple. You pick a camp like you're picking a character in a video game, then act like there's zero room for critique or movement inside that camp. That doesn't help anyone grow. It just makes you easy to manipulate by people who either fake your politics or actually share them, but then push useless or bad praxis anyway.

This problem is everywhere on the left. Y'all are doing idealism instead of dialectical materialism. End of story.

Marxists refusing to learn from people who are way more active than their own orgs just because those people don't have the same "tendency" label means you don't actually want to build working-class power. You want your specific ideology to win in the marketplace of ideas. And if someone's organizing doesn't match your party line perfectly, you call it deviation and act like supporting them would be giving power to the other idealogue camps. The thing is, Anarchists are guilty of this at times to. Those of us who are most based give zero shits about label, we just want working class power and fury to rise.

Anything else isn't class war. It's a war of idealism. And it's pathetic to be honest.

You aren't slick, I know.

define marxism

The US is already communist and has been since 1865

The robot would kill them out of indifference the way humans kill animals out of indifference, by destroying the environment that supports us and displacing us, that would include the bourgeois. Also they need consumers for whatever they happen to manufacture.

>>2786117
No, how many times do we have to go over this. The bourgeoisie are not magical demons that can do whatever they want. They don't know how to code robots or operate drones, even if they did like in any war the side with more people always wins in the end ffs. The moment that full automation becomes a thing is the moment they no longer have anything to bribe the working class with to prevent their own downfall. If everyone in this scenario is acting out of pure self-interest than any attempted genocide by the upper class towards the lower will just result in an immediate unconcious annihilation of the bourgeois out of self-defense by the working class. IP doesn't grant power, muscle grants power and we have far more of it than them.

>>2786117
This was one of the paths to communism in Four Futures, I believe. The rich kill the proles and live in an automated robo society, money loses meaning, communism achieved. Well, except the part about labor being life's prime want. The gay space communism people always seem to skip that part.

capitalism literally cannot even exist without a proletariat, read a book retards

>Could the Bourgeoisie win the class war by exterminating us?
no
>Say, in the next few years, fat engineers in Silicon Valley invent some robot that can do everything a regular human worker can do.
they cant do that

Very clear that the main character being red is an homage to the Soviet Union.

<The main story of the games and the movie are about the birds fighting back against colonial oppressors who want to eat their children.

<Said colonial oppressors are literal porkies who are colored green

<The pig society is an imperialist monarchy ruled by King Pig.

<In the movie, the pigs come to bird Island to share their "knowledge" with the birds but are in reality there to steal their resources (eggs) and exploit them.

Op is unironically correct.

>>2785950
Not that anon, but I think I get what he’s saying. It does feel like the New-left/Critical Theorist ideas about race are irreverent, because they largely depended on stable capitalist liberal societies to function and those systems seem to be changing or breaking down.

My glowie senses are tingling. I'm noticing an increase is typical bullshit arguments and discussions that retread age old conflicts that were resolved long ago.

>>2785953
Literally the point of postmodernism, reject any basis from before and try to be critical of everything that has ever been thought before so you can the most original political ideas (Neoliberalism with different names)

>class is not a concept good enough to replace it
show your working uygha class analysis is literally all there is we have like two centuries of thought and praxis proving this otherwise im just gonna assume youre another well poisoning neoliberal many such cases

Yes you have more in common with Elon Musk than someone flipping burgers at McDonald's because both of you think transhumanist bathrooms cringe

>>2786202
So you’re problem is specifically with bipedal robots or any legs at all I guess

>>2786210
I didn't make the post but that's what I heard, legs are unstable and it can easily fall down, etc

>>2786216
Yeah, but wheels don’t work for stairs and tracks are a quite rigid solution. If bipedal is mastered it would be the most flexible solution.

>>2786239
True that wheels dont work for stairs in the typical design but most robots wouldnt need to go up and down stairs. There's also like triangular wheeled arrangements that can go up stairs (albeit slowly).

Bipedal robots usually just feel like silicon valley pablum, you're left to imagine 'what if it could do everything a person can', but it can't, so it's silly. You know what robot I like? Those automatic fruit/veg pickers, they actually seem to work correctly. I don't believe there's any two legged robots actually in real 'work' at the moment.

>>2786241
Wheeled robots, tracked robots and stationary robots will make up the vast majority of robots in usage, and even quadropedel are going to be preferred over bipedal, so you’re right.

>reuters admit all the dooming about muh construction sector crisis was bullshit and china high quality growth rather than capitalist gpd fetishization is working
well they had to admit it sooner or later

>>2784857
I don’t believe anything I don’t see with my eyes, the only chinese I ever see is fake food and fake plastic products at walmart and target and I’m supposed to believe this is communism, this is the break from the status quo, fuck them and fuck you

>>2783622
>it'd be great if they made it gradually less useless
It's already been proven useful in STEM applications, especially logistics, and in a country like China which manufactures 95% of all solar panels globally, the data centers don't even need to be as wasteful as they are in the USA. Also believe it or not machine learning uses less energy and time in a lot of its calculations than a human would doing the same thing. People hate hearing this but it's true. Just like Ludd's hand-loom weavers couldn't cope with the power loom, white collars can't cope with the machine learning. They are dragged kicking and screaming into the future against their will, with no way to RETVRN to what was before.

>>2784867
That’s assuming Chinese even exist at all, it’s probably a lie made up to justify military budgets

someone made a new one before the old one was full

>>2785232
So you're saying like, that a new middle strata always becomes the next ruling class instead of creating a 1 class society or a or 0 class society? That's like zeno's paradox but with classes instead of distance.

>>2785232
Well of course you can't abolish exploitation why would anyone be hired just to produce enough to support themselves. But under communism society exploits you instead of capitalists.
