no , this is not off topic. nutrition is a very important matter and should be viewed from a scientific perspective. the trump regime shows again, that it is totally anti scientific. no serious country puts animal products as the base, the base is GRAIN! no matter if you ask chinese or european!

Cost in time and money for a well balanced vegan diet (and not eating same 3 things every meal) isnt considered and instead of seeing things from other's perspectives vegans double down on entitlement and giving themselves a moral superiority.

They are 10000000000% always the roadblock to spreading veganism and I'm tired of white washing these fucking subhumans.

Vegans will never defeat The Big Meat Industry. Vegans should become communist or something. Vegans are moralists.

Most of the world will be vegan or close enough in two to three decades, the biggest roadblock is the absence of competitive, mass produced artificial meat and it will go away before 2030. The peasantoids will whine and seethe just like the oil barons but their concentration camps are going away.

The Kurdish nationalist movement’s anti-communism

>By Cansu Oba


>A recent article published by one of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s media outlets has provided an opportunity to revisit certain aspects of the movement’s class character and ideological foundations.

>In reality, this stance is not new. Throughout Abdullah Öcalan’s years in prison, he has repeatedly produced statements and writings that target socialist experiences and the founders of scientific socialism. These have for some time been highlighted in the movement’s own media.


>What makes the current moment significant is that Öcalan is one of the central actors in an ongoing political process in Turkey. The “peace process”—carried out with the open support of the leader of the fascist party and through direct contact between Öcalan, a parliamentary commission, and state officials—has transformed the political environment. At the same time, a former co-chair and current MP of the Kurdish nationalist movement’s party, the DEM Party, declared that the party now effectively serves as the country’s main opposition. All of this signals that the emerging bourgeois political landscape provides fertile ground for the resonance between the Kurdish nationalist movement’s attacks on socialism and the bourgeois politics’ more traditional forms of anti-communism.


>Yet the PKK was never, in reality, a genuinely Marxist-Leninist organization. Founded in the late 1970s, a period in which the left dominated Turkey’s political and social arena, the PKK employed Marxist-Leninist terminology and drew from these values, but it was always, at its core, a national movement.


>Claims that Öcalan has “surpassed Marxism”—when considered together with his recent statement that he has been “waiting 50 years to be understood”—suggest a line of ideological continuity rather than a merely conjunctural shift.


>The Kurdish nationalist movement, now firmly situated somewhere between social democracy and nationalism within Turkey’s political landscape, has strengthened ties with various factions of the bourgeoisie, including some of Turkey’s most prominent capitalist families. Meanwhile, its distance from the republic’s founding prin

Öcalan: Democratic Islam means returning to the spirit of the Medina Charter
Abdullah Öcalan sent a message to the 1st Ordinary Congress of the Mesopotamia Islamic Research Federation, held under the slogan “From Democratic Islam Toward Peace and a Democratic Society.” Emphasizing that at its core Islam is a religion of freedom, justice, and equality, Öcalan pointed out that official state Islam—turned into an instrument of power and plunder by capitalist modernity—or communitarian structures have lost this essence.

Öcalan’s message reads as follows:

“To the Congress of the Mesopotamia Islamic Research Federation,

Islam, at its core, is a religion of freedom, justice, and equality. Official state Islam, transformed by capitalist modernity into an instrument of power and plunder, as well as communitarian structures, have lost this essence. Democratic Islam, however, means returning to the spirit of the Medina Charter. That charter was a contract of coexistence, without oppression, based on the free will of different beliefs, peoples, and cultures.

It must be known that true jihad is the struggle carried out through constant self-criticism against the ego and against oppression. The concept of shura in Islam signifies collective reason and democratic decision-making.

Let us not make Islam a political instrument of the state or of any group, but rather place it at the service of a free life of society organized from the grassroots. Democratic Islam is a civilizational alternative that places women’s freedom, ecological balance, and the brotherhood of peoples at its center. Only this democratic interpretation can heal the bleeding wounds of the Middle East. In this framework, I hope your discussions will serve the democratic society process we have initiated. With endless love and greetings…

Abdullah Öcalan
Imrali.”

>Additionally, a long-standing romanticism within parts of the European left regarding the right of oppressed nations to self-determination—regardless of contemporary material conditions—has also contributed to this distortion, something the movement itself has instrumentalized.
Hit the nail.

it is awesome that the turkish left is anti-revisionist. öcalan killed many real revolutionaries in turkey.

PMC leftists when blue collars whine about immigrants taking their jerbs
>Why are these people so backwards and stupid? Don't they know that wages already declined even before immigration and that immigrants mostly take over jobs that nobody wants to work with in the first place?

PMC leftists when AI take their jobs:
>NO AI SLOP SLOP FUCK AI I HATE AI LYNCH AI BURN THE DATASERVERS

And no, i'm not justifying anti immigration nativism, the point against them are valid and true. But those same points apply with AI. Wages are already declining long before AI is a thing, and AI is used primarily, in the creative industry setting, for entry level jobs with low wages that nobody wants to work in. You know, like making codemonkey scripts or making fillers for game backgrounds. But its the fucking hypocrisy i can't stand: you guys can correctly see through hysteria when it affects the blue collars, but when it affects your substratum's interest, your creative art making and programming jobs, suddenly you become as insane as the most rabid nativists who think that haitians are eating cat and dogs

Because a job that AI can "do" was not real in the first place, because AI is useless.

This is why non-twitter artists have been and will remain fine, actual programmers have been and will remain fine, every job that AI claims it will replace have been and will remain fine. JavaScript framework devs, marketing, tech support and managerial jobs, however, are fucked because they weren't doing anything competent, useful or conceptually coherent to begin with, so now that we have a generalized method of automating doing a job badly, these jobs will cease to exist after the AI bubble.

Intersectional analysis eating good tonight?

>>2602231
Is this invoking 'bullshit jobs'? Because most of what you described IS actually useful, just for their firm's capitalists, which is why most (non-capitalist) people fail to see the use in such labor. The use-value of marketing is to modify demographics of consumers into recognizing–if not valorizing–the subject of advertising. Something innocuous like a PSA campaign operates on the same process as commodity advertising. The difference is, advertising commodities enables the capturing of additional surplus value from commodities that might otherwise be wasted in competing with other capitalist firms. Something like how color was genderized in the United States in an advertising campaign allowed for a greater portion of clothes to be sold from what was already able to be manufactured, as wardrobes between boys and girls were further separated, hand-me-downs became less prevalent, among other things. Advertising can also enable rentier-like structures, where the valorization of certain name-brands–protected by intellectual property–can capture surplus value that is more than that of the advertised commodity from the wages and earnings of consumers (mostly workers).

So, no. It's more accurate to say that AI will *displace* those jobs you mentioned. Hopefully this means the professionals in those jobs become thoroughly and ruthlessly proletarianized, too.

Something I find a little strange, or perhaps just misunderstand, is that marxism is posited to be an morally unconcerned, descriptive theory, yet its adherents often don't adopt that attitude whatsoever. Most marxists I've ever met are activists and have a clear ethical problem with capitalism. However, this ethical problematization is never seemingly justified, just presupposed and unexamined. I don't think that's necessarily an inherent problem but it seems to run counter to the idea of the supposed amoralism of marxism. That supposed amoralism is used to counter liberal sentimentality yet it isn't actually amoralistic itself. You could probably even criticize Marx and Engels themselves for this, owing to their active engagement with a communist movement. If it's true that capitalism's collapse is an inevitability and the theory posts only that then why even concern yourself with ensuring or disrupting that outcome? Even if you want to argue that it is only a likely event and not strictly determined, from that we still don't have a reason as to why anybody should care, really. From the theory, communism is neither a positive nor a negative development, only a transformation. You could make an argument that you have a personal or community interest in communism but that would be an external moral argument that has no direct bearing on marxism.

>i think this is the most reasonable position since its true you cant derive is from ought but the only thing you have to accept for marxist "ethics" to be true is that humans should exist and everything else follows
i broadly agree with this post, but where i break with you is when you say "humans should exist" is a sufficient premise from which to derive some kind of distilled ethics of marxian communism. kings and capitalists exist, as do serfs and proles. for me, the basic ethical premise which underlies any reasoned reflection on communism as the real movement abolishing the current state of things and what should be done to further it would be more like "people should exist without class distinction". the historical novelty of the proletariat, and why we hypothesize it as the world-historically revolutionary subject, is that it is the working class in the period of human history which first produces productive means sufficient to universalize itself as the only class through revolutionary activity, and thus is the first revolutionary working class historically capable of abolishing class distinction as such. what is important isn't so much a universalist humanism, which is arguably something more proper to the development of bourgeois society, but the universalization of a particular class position which simultaneously abolishes class position as a meaningful category.

>>2633486
yeah i get what you mean i just think class distinctions are in contradiction with humans existing long term. thats what i mean by the proletarian standpoint being universal and common ruin. even if you might be better off as a self interested capitalist in the term of your 70 year life your childrens children wont exist if the planet burns up and class distinctions necessarily develope into capitalism industrialization and climate catastrophe. like the proles arent the universal class merely because they are a majority but because they represent the emergent face of humanity as a self directed organism become actualized

>>2631856
There's different kinds of morals. It depends on the type of Marxism, because academic marxism can definitely be turned into something purely descriptive, but Marx himself was intervening in proletarian struggles. His standpoint, and the standpoint of communists, is that what's good for the proletariat is good. And what's good is simple, it's whatever increases our wellbeing and furthers our interests.

>>2634069
By different kinds of morals i mean there's stuff like "freedom is good" and then there's like "it's bad if i starve". And there are morals that people try to put on others in order to give universal laws that all fall under, and then there's just the personal, biological even, value systems that are innate to us as living creatures. Something that hurts is bad so I'll avoid it. It's miles apart from "everyone must strive for truth and justice". The higher type of morality is what liberals play around with, and the lower is what communists rely on.

>>2631856

The "amoralism" of Marxism is the descriptive study of where morality comes from, not a prescription to have no morals, those are in fact inescapable and propel the class struggle itself at the level of superstructural consciousness. Under class society, the oppressed have their own morality based on experiential affective understanding of the suffering caused by their oppression, the oppressors have their own morality based on the dehumanization of the oppressed, so as to not share their suffering, so as to benefit materially from it. If you materially benefit from Palestinian genocide you'll likely have genocidal morality, and if you don't you'll be horrified when you find out the Zionist entity is a fully committed genocidal society, and be compelled to support the liberation of Palestinians, whose suffering your material conditions allow you to empathize with.

But don't confuse this with merely stating that morality is historically contingent and you have no reason to oppose Zionism beyond your arbitrary circumstances. Marxism is no Postmodernism, because the latter rejects material reality as the ultimate source of "social constructs". Our true, non-historically contingent claim to righteousness is that empathy with fellow human beings allows for true scientific thinking, since to deny the humanity of the oppressed is to disregard their experienced reality as an object of serious dialectical inquiry, and at a greater degree it necessitates foregoing dialectical thinking entirely in favor of ideology to gaslight the oppressed out of their own experienced reality and to essentialize the system of oppression, denying the very reality of historical progress. Marx argues this when he analyzes that Aristotle could only gleam the form of value in exchange value, but not the substance of value in human labor, due to his class position in a slave society founded on the moral supposition of the inequality of men and thus their labor powers.

This is why we use scientific Marxism as our weapon of choice in the class struggle, while the reactionaries use eleven varieties of stupid retarded ideological bullshit, the most effective being identitarian fascism which is predicated on total dehumanization of the other, and on the other hand amoral utilitarian thinking, which allows for effective rational thinking completely taking incPost too long.

How was he so based, and why has no other socialist leader even come close to accomplishing what he did? I don't 100% love everything the guy did, but I really do think that he's greatly underappreciated as both a theoretician and a leader.

It started in the late 1600s in America, but like so many scams, it spiraled out of control until it had a life of its own.

Not long after Europeans started arriving on the east coast of North America and the Caribbean Islands they found themselves rich in land but desperate for labor to work the land. The answer they struck upon was importation of bond labor, initially mostly Irish. The Irish had not been considered fully human under English law for centuries, and they ended up in plantations and working sugar under the Caribbean sun. The easy part of importing Irish (and Scottish) slave labor was that they were right next to England. The downside is there wasn’t enough of them for the amazing amounts of land laid before the eager English settlers, and thus the Atlantic slave trade with Africa was born. This is the story we hear in school, but the abridged version we get, intentionally or not, hides the scam of it. Initially the bond terms of convict, Scotch-Irish, and African labor was a set period of time, at the end of which they received bond money and their freedom in this new land. In fact, not that many bondsmen and women lived to be free, but some did, and established themselves as a mixed-race, free peasantry of the new world. If you’ve ever wondered where the free blacks of so many stories of early America came from, a large number were the families of freed African bond laborers.

As time went on, the labor needs of the land holders continued to grow, and desperate to cultivate the land, they were loathe to let go of their bond servants and the bondsmen and bondswomen’s children (whom they kept in bondage for a legally defined time as well). In the mean time, a growing American peasantry was proving as difficult to govern as the European peasantry back home, periodically rising up in riot and rebellion, light skinned and dark skinned together. The political leaders of the Virginia colony struck upon an answer to all these problems, an answer which plagues us to this day.

The Virginians legislated a new class of people into existence: the whites. They gave the whites certain rights, and took other rights from blacks. White, as a language of race, appears in Virginia around the 1680s, and seems to first appear in Virginia law in 1691. Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Nobody cares about "revisionism". Nobody cares if you think socialism ended in the USSR in 1953 or whatever. Nobody cares about your position on debates and splits that took place decades before they were born. What people *do* care about is that socialism and can solve the problems that face them, like poverty and colonialism. I've seen people here ridicule the notion that socialism is helping people but there is really no other way to build power. People did not follow Lenin because he had the right ideas but because the Bolsheviks were the only conceivable solution that didn't end in what would later be known as fascism. Why does the CPC have near-universal approval in China? Because their system works and it provides for the people. Almost nobody there wants to return to the days of the Cultural Revolution. And where is anti-revisionist cause celebre Albania today? Now just another NATO puppet state. The entire concept of "anti-revisionism" is anti-materialist because it puts ideas before people. It doesn't matter if you have the right ideas because Marxism was never about having the right ideas. What matters is having the right practice. Here's another truke: If your system can be undone by a single bad actor with mere decrees, then maybe it was useless and was never going to make it in the first place.
