Are feminism and transgender liberation ideologies used for indoctrination and social control? Not at all. Is the act of sex, and the cultural weight of sex, distinct from biological function? Quite. Could our understanding of sexuality and gender be embedded in the superstructure of capitalism? Yes, absolutely. But that does not remove the person from the whole, agency from history, or free will from determinism. Instead, we should see the science of biology as part of a long history of philosophy, history, social formations, politics, and the emergence of capitalism as a world system. Generally, what are the problems of understanding sex and gender under our historical epoch? There is a cultural habit of assigning subjective meaning into objective phenomena, which is more to do with how humans relate to ideology, economics, social formations such as class and race and gender, the state structure, the patriarchal family unit, and history. To untangle ourselves from the politicisation of individual bodies, sectioned off like discreet forms of data, as well as ideas about identity, we need to understand how culture and science are not totalizing in themselves but part of the superstructure of society. To avoid the myopia brought about by what people might call scientism, which is really just another word for a supposed omniscience, we need to realise that science is a human endeavour that is still socially mediated. People often flatten or exaggerate a biological fact, a male human is stronger on average than a female human, to inform rigid social hierarchies in fascism or capitalism. Social Darwinism is a distortion of biology and came from a complex history of trying to legitimise oppression, exploitation, racism, colonialism, and sexism in Victorian England and British Imperialism. To do this, the facts and reality of biology are made into a political caricature that reifies the social reality projected by the dominant economic class. In the past, sexuality and gender were rigidly defined and prescribed by the state and the bourgeoisie. Biology was abused for this end. The myth of a self-made man of rugged individualism and cunning was made legitimate by emphasising biological endowments and drives, natural properties and survival strategies. But once you look into biology proper, these socially foisted ideas about masculinity collapse. Genetics inform everything we do as animals, but decisions and strategies are usually probabilistic rather than flatly Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

you can just cancel debt and then expropriate expropriators. money is not real. bourgeois economics is fake.
>Bolshevik revolutionaries overthrew the government on October 24, 1917, subsequently creating the Soviet government. The amounts of payments in default were enormous.[3] Russian debt to Great Britain alone at the end of World War I was estimated at between 538 and 568 million pounds. The amount of debt to France was estimated at 3,573 million francs and Russian foreign debt to Japan equaled 147 million dollars.[citation needed]
The debt repudiation
>On February 8, 1918, the Soviet government repudiated all bonds issued by the Tsarist government when the Soviet of People's Commissars of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) cancelled all previously issued Russian government debt. It stopped payment on foreign debt at the beginning of 1918 and declared that all debts contracted by the Russian Empire were cancelled, as well as the debts contracted by the Russian Provisional Government, so that the war could be continued from February to November 1917.[citation needed]
>At the same time, the Soviets decided to expropriate all assets of foreign nations in Russia. The Soviets also nationalized banks, lands, and industries. By repudiating the external debt, the Soviet government implemented the Petrograd Soviet’s decision of 1905.[4]

communism and great man theory are perfectly compatible

history confirms this, the most successful communist movements that advanced history towards a communist future, the USSR and China, both did on the backs of great leaders, no one gives a fuck if great man theory or cults of personality are not materialist in a narrow marxist view, what matters is that it happened, all the theory and pure reasoning in the world is no match for historical fact.

why should I care what european marxists or anarchists have to say about the subject? you didn't do shit, you are potential man, all talk, the blueprint for a communist movement is already out there, will you embrace it or perish like a leftcom dog?

it's the same reasoning that fascists use to "prove" communism is jewish. they ignore all the working people who united to struggle for their class and act like they're all mindless drones. even liberals sometimes believe that chinese people are a "slave race", "bug people" etc.

>>2661476
reminds me of how Newtown and Leibniz started developing calculus independently of eachother but around the same time

The whole point of marxism is that historical changes occur through inexorable processes of objective development. It's completely antithetical to the idea that any one individual holds all the keys. Hegel's (perhaps apocryphal) statement when he saw Napoleon ride through Jena as "the world-soul on horse-back" is completely refuted by dialectical materialism. The whole point is that the forces of production themselves contain the seed of development, which determines the overall shape of the political economy. You're a pseud.

One confusing aspect of nazism in the modern and Cold War era day is the hysterical avoidance of recognition of the primary objective of the original German nazi party, the total conquest and erasure of all non German european people. These people included but not limited to, polish people, anyone registering as Slavic, British people, Spaniards, Italians, non Germanic birds, Romani peoples, Romanians, Greeks, Turks depending on whether you consider turkey European, and a few others. This was explicitly outlined in the manifesto of the Nazi party mein kampf that genocide of these groups was the first priority of the German Nazi party, it was also implicitly outlined that the nazis saught to recreate at least on a more philosophical level the British empires expansion in the new world and in african, oceanic, and Asian colonies in European territory.

I’m amazed by how many misinterpretations or outright false claims surrounding the nazis objectives there are from myths of European unification to the genuine belief that genocide was not the first priority of the Nazi party.

Your first mistake is thinking that these people care at all for rationality or reason, instead of just picking an ideology that allows them to satiate their bloodlust.

>>2661832
> This was explicitly outlined in the manifesto of the Nazi party mein kampf
Mind dropping a quote?

“We Nazis … must secure for the German people the soil which is due them on this earth. Our forbears were not handed German soil from Heaven … and only the conquering sword will bring us territory in the future. … Only that foreign policy is correct which leads us to the point where, a century from now, 250,000,000 Germans live on this continent … The everlasting enemy of the German people is and remains France. …
When we speak today of new territory in Europe, fundamentally we can think only of Russia and her subjugated border states. Only a potent sword can bring lost soil back into a common Reich — protest can never win anything. War is the aim of every alliance which is not foolish and worthless”

>>2661854
The whole chapter "Falsche Vorstellungen von "Germanisation"". Hitler disagrees with the assimilation policies of Austria and Prussia or even mixing of the other European or non-European races and wants to employ genocide instead and settle the lands with pure Germans.



 

if you are such a good marxist who is really well versed in the economy how come you are not making a lot of money? if marxism is truly the correct ideology that can see and predict trends in the economy and the way money moves it should help you earn bread, marx invested in the stock market after all.

>process-oriented thinkers and narrative skeptics. Empiricists and moralfags get wrecked.
>Empiricists
I know Marxists are against Empiricism, but I don't understand why. I thought empiricism was the basis of science. I've asked before and I keep getting told to read Lenin's Empirio-Criticsm. I don't get that one. It confuses me. Can I get an explanation for dumbasses? How is empiricism incompatible with "process oriented thinkers and narrative skeptics?"

>>2661853
Empiricism is like, show me the proof. Facts not feelings. It's not bad per se but what I mean by process oriented thinking is like "systems thinking." "Dialectics" is often treated too fancifully but it's really about how things emerge, develop, change. You need a feel for developing trends, while the problem with empiricism as applied to prediction markets is the data they're relying on is obsolete by the time the markets move or results in a resolution.

Also Shayne Coplan, the CEO, deceives people because he's, like, Polymarket ~is the most accurate thing ever.~ He says things like that. That is if you believe a market price is 1:1 with reality but that's how he suckers people into injecting liquidity into the markets, but most of them lose money to the sharps.

>>2661853
Thought about it a little more. It'd be inaccurate to say Marxists are against empiricism outright, I think? That'd be like saying Marxists are against facts and logic. But it's incomplete. A market can be irrational, or a price in a market can reflect certain biases that derive from social relations. Or really what we're talking about is just people hyping up a nothing burger but what they're really doing is engaging in financial speculation and then the whole bubble collapses.

irrelevant relic

Not all religions are compatible with communism, but Christianism is certainly so.

Christ spent his time flipping tables in temples and telling the 1% they had a better chance of fitting a camel through a needle's eye than getting into heaven. The early church in Acts practiced literal communalism, selling everything they owned to make sure no one went hungry. Modern neoliberalism is just a shiny new version of the Mammon Christ warned about.

The critique of religion in Marx's bibliography is still absolutely correct, his target was the Church as a superstructure, the corrupt institutional arm used by the ruling class to pacify the workers. Ironically, Christ’s ministry was defined by materialist praxis, he didn't just offer platitudes he addressed the physical suffering, hunger, class exploitation and marginalized people.

What can be hard to reconcile is the non-violent nature of Jesus preachings with the revolution effort. But this is also true for any non-christians that think socialism can be achieved without a violent uprising, so I'll not extend myself here. The point is that the end goal of having a stateless society where needs are satisfied and work is no longer usurped is a common ground for both.

>>2641823
>You're thinking of God like a corrupt de.generate monarch

That's exactly how he is being described in the Bible which you apparently haven't read as a Christian. Doesn't help your case that the organized religions around Christianity turned into exactly that, corrupt degenerate monarchies.

The bible does not describe God as corrupt or degen it describes Him as the exact opposite please try again.

When I was a kid I remember reading about rural agriculturalists in Mexico who after the signing of NAFTA found themselves priced out, for the production of corn I think, and forced into migration or poverty. I also recall hearing that the TPP (and apparently NAFTA), operated largely to enforce "corporate rights" as persons, or even more, in the imperial periphery, beyond the lowering of tariffs. In these details there can be nothing but opposition.

However, you hear of the increased growth of tomatoes, for example, in Mexico, because of their comparative advantage, and of impressive manufacturing sector in things like automobiles and even increasingly electronics. These are remarkable things. In the big picture as an internationalist you have to support them here, to the extent to which you thank trade for these things.

On the other side of the deal you read just as many stories today of towns wiped off the map by deindustrialization, and that even though productivity has increased employment for these high-value added has declined without end. This is the issue with trade in at least the Anglo-sphere, and once upon a time the former Soviet Union at the minimum: deindustrialization. I know it's likely somewhat controversial to discuss these two groups together, and it might be a mistake, but the inquiry stands.

I'd like to discuss what's the problem with deindustrialization, and how does it relate to trade?

The problem is that without either an industrial proletariat, a rural poor peasantry, or both Marxists have no path to power

Just watched an interesting video that argues that debating trade issues are mostly used to divide the proletariat into supporting or opposing different sections of the bourgeoisie. This doesn't really resonate however because changing the structural composition of capital can benefit the class.

bump.

Drug user liberation advocates ought to hold a formal appearance instead of trying to look like hippies, all these demonstrations make the drug users look retarded in comparison to any uniformed opposition.
Groups of persons against drug prohibition ought to have formal wear such as suits or other types of uniforms to be able to combat the influence from formal authorities.
A crowd of casual clothed, hippie-wannabe, exhibitionist freaks cannot persuade a conservative populace towards siding with them.
For all public appearances I strongly advise from my thorough research in crowd psychology that any drug advocacy public appearances should be done in formal wear, modest uniforms or at the very least the extent to which a person can attend with their best most tidy clothing.
Do not go out looking like a junkie / outcast / freak. It will only harm you when recorded and the broader scene. It is completely counterintuitive to attempt to revive failed countercultural movements or attend with an "IDGAF" attitude.
Drug advocates are already ostracized by the lumpen and reactionary majorities, PR with everyday clothing will not serve to try to "normalize" or "blend in". When a prohibitionist dresses leisurely their opinion is taken in normally, when a drug advocate dresses leisurely they are always going to end up being ridiculed and degraded. It would not be as easy for the opposition to degrade persons or call them "degenerate, jobless, bums, junkies" and such when faced with a crowd of people in uniforms / suits and formal wear.
It is strongly advisory to look like a WASP in order to combat WASPs.
Study the strategies of the opposition. See how conservative content creators in public speeches have for years farmed millions if not billions of views off of the contrast of a "principled man versus gender freak abomination" - Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, TFP Student action etc.
If you don't hold a formal appearance in a public event odds are you will be turned into a lolcow for content farming, guaranteed if you do not behave yourself, speak loudly / obnoxiously, have a meltdown and/or are generally unprepared to speak on the subject of the event. To be able to counter any opposition on a subject of interest a person must learn their opposition by mentally pretending to be a part of it (as the saying goes, put yourself in their shoes) in order to predict all the possible arguments and traps they could lay out and how thePost too long.

It was a call to coopt what works and do away with what doesn't. No need to completely copy the opposition. Take a lesson from Franco's tidy blue uniforms that were and still are workers' clothing. The GDR's FDJ did the exact same thing, unforgettable iconic look.

Russophobes try to argue that their previous abomination of a flag for Luhansk looked better than the current flag of LNR, its so ridiculous from a subjective standpoint that the ideological bias comes out to show it champions inferior chauvinism (yeah it's terrible but at least its ours) over foreign success (yes it's better but we have to act like its worse because its theirs).
Its a complete loser mentality, people succeed a lot more when copying other people's success.
