genuinely, why the FUCK is no one talking about el niño?
usually the media will use known nothingburgers to alarm people while sweeping actual happenings under the rug, compare ebola/hantavirus to the covid pandemic, for example. the fact that we're all dead silent about this potentially never-before-seen happening is extremely worrying to me, what do they know? is it really as bad as current predictions? could it be fucking worse?
the most optimistic predictions would place this as the worst el niño in history, even worse than the 19th century one which resulted in millions of deaths worldwide. now, combine that with pre-existing shortages in the supply chains due to the iran war, which limits the amount of fertilisers available, and we could be looking at a total catastrophe, we'd face floods, famines, and even worse temperatures, with effects varying depending on geographical location

the worst part is, i cant even find any cope trying to debunk this like you had with covid, people are just accepting it or covering their ears trying to ignore it, this gives me a reaaaally bad feeling, im starting to tweak out. are we genuinely fucked? is it unironically over?

Brazilian court convicts Jair Bolsonaro’s son of seeking US help for his father

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels developed a way of understanding society, history, and social change that remains essential for anyone trying to make sense of the world today. Their work is not a collection of abstract ideas or moral pronouncements. It is a method of analysis, a critique of capitalism, and a political project aimed at creating a more equitable world. This guide introduces the fundamental concepts of Marxism in accessible language.

The materialist foundation
The most basic distinction in Marxist thought is between idealism and materialism. Idealism holds that ideas come first, that the material world is shaped by thoughts and concepts. Religious and magical thinking are forms of idealism, as is the common belief that human nature is fixed and unchangeable. Materialism holds the opposite: material conditions come first, and our ideas arise from them. Marxists believe that how a society produces food, shelter, and other necessities shapes everything else, including our ideas, beliefs, and values. This does not mean ideas don't matter. It means they emerge from material conditions and cannot be understood apart from them. When people ask why human beings behave in certain ways, Marxists look first to the economic and social structures in which people live.

Historical materialism
Historical materialism applies this way of thinking to history. The material conditions of a society determine its social structure, and class struggle drives historical change. Societies evolve through different modes of production, each containing internal contradictions that eventually lead to its replacement.

Human history has passed through several stages. There was primitive communism, where hunter-gatherer societies existed without class divisions. Slave society built ancient civilizations on slave labor. Feudalism followed, with its lords, serfs, and peasants. Capitalism is the industrial system we live under today. Each stage contains contradictions that lead to its replacement by a new system, and capitalism is no exception.

Class struggle
Class struggle is at the center of Marxist analysis. In every class society, a ruling class controls the means of production and an oppressed class does the work. Under capitalism, the bourgeoisie owns factories, machinery, land, and other productive property. The proletariat owns only its laPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Unless men are maddened in the battlefield they cannot stand it to hear appeals for help and not respond to them. The hero goes, and what the hero does, all feel they ought to have done as well. The sophisms of the brain cannot resist the mutual aid feeling, because this feeling has been nurtured by thousands of years of human social life and hundreds of thousands of years of prehuman life in societies.

In the US when I hear a defense of our founding fathers who owned slaves, particularly Jefferson and Washington, I always hear that morals were just different back then and that you basically can’t expect these people to know any better in 1776. This is stupid.

Morality is a constant. You know when you’re harming someone or inconveniencing them. You should think of how they feel about it and you should judge particularly impactful interactions for yourself and others from as many angles as possible as many times as possible. Don’t be neurotic, but hearing the screams of someone being whipped shouldn’t take a struggle session and psychological damage to evoke emotions over. Ruminating on all the memories that stick out we which ones we could’ve and should’ve acted better in. It’s a natural, gut instinct that some defective people may be born without, but it’s a common factor that should be the basis for society.

This is very vague, I’ve only described a notion of what’s “moral” or “not moral” and these categories do need to be demystified, but the constant shifting and adjusting for moral shores is the job of legislatures. I know many will come and start posing moral hypotheticals which I’ll be happy to answer, but in a world where were giving back to the billionaires directly without even bothering to mask it, giving back to foreign proxy’s with shrinking domestic protections, and giving back to politicians, cops and even criminals willing to abuse the courts system without any consideration or efficiency for the people making the system run, I want to focus on at least starting to round the edges.

I know this places namesake is 4chan. I see the reading list contains antisemitic texts, not just chapters from Bakunin, but shit like The Jewish Question and a section on German Idealism. I’m not an idiot, but clearly you’re all here because you feel something that keeps you off platforms like instagram and twitter and yet a compulsion to strive for better than 4chan.

Both were against to differing degrees singular individuals accumulating extreme wealth to oppose everyone. Both wanted high decentralization and sometimes assumes an agrarian material world. Jeffersonian democracy is interesting because it's based on the idea that people can govern themselves without experts leading them, and that liberty is kept alive through local organization autonomy and action.

Jefferson himself however was a slave owner and a rapist and a bad person, but I don't think that invalidates some of his ideas. And he supported private property.

Thoughts?

Despite some of the inherited Leftist rhetoric, a lot of modern Leftoids and especially American ones, jfc, just come across as hating and despising most ordinary people. If you think they are irredeemably racist and sexist, patriarchal, white supremacist, contaminated with so many 'bad ideas' and the 'muck of ages' that they need to be 'deprogrammed' before they can begin to be part of your oh so effective attractive politics (lol), any notion that the Left is interested in, let alone capable of, helping to produce a mass workers' movement will just not be credible. If your party is full of people who are agoraphobic shut-ins who won't be told that if they want to be ultra radical activist whatevers then they need to speak to normal people and be marginally normal, then you'll be laughed at, and with good reason.

Normies look at the actually existing Left, what it claims for itself and what it claims to be wanting to do, the immense difficulty of it, and they laugh and they do not want to touch it, with their lack of time, money and energy, *and they are not wrong to do so*. It isn't (all) 'muh false consciousness'.

You cannot be seen as just a performatively radical subculture which despises, in practice, most normal people. You cannot fear populist politics because gasp you may have to rub shoulders with people with some dodgy and confused politics. That is the name of the game.

This is why griftoids like ACP get some of the credibility they do because at least they are willing to say the emperor has no clothes and not to just hate normal people.

This sentiment really is the dominant attitude of so much of the Left and it fizzes off so many of us all the time. And I hate it.

Just a vent. Needed to be said.

Why are Western bourg so incredibly invested in protecting Israel? At some point it’s hard for me to believe they have this much to gain from protecting this tiny sliver of land. What the fuck is going on?

Which is more correct:

>Communists should treat the petty bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie, the liberals, the social democrats, the conservatives, the fascists, and the anarchists as equally hostile threats to Communism, never distinguish between them as groups, and always lump them in with each other. No effort should be made to pit these groups against each other, it should be assumed they are all on the same team and would never fight each other. None of these groups are worthy of critical support against others, not even in the context of anti-imperialism.

<Communists should distinguish between their enemies, since their enemies have different motivations and different interests. They can and should be pit against one another. Critical support should be given to lesser enemies against stronger enemies, to weaken the stronger enemies, and get the lesser enemies eliminated early. Social democrats should not be simply regarded as left wing fascists in a stale regurgitation of the 1920s comintern line, especially since Stalin abandoned that line and was even willing to tolerate liberal bourgeoisie like Roosevelt and conservative bourgeoisie like Churchill as allies against Hitler. Depending on context, groups are often worthy of critical support against others, especially in the context of anti-imperialism.

I think it is clearly the second, one, yet I often see takes approximating the first one on here. Why is that?
