/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Mass media is dominated by those with the capital to own it. Any airtime an anti-capitalist gains on these platforms can be revoked at any time. So while pursuing exposure on them isn't useless, it is limited, and playing at a disadvantage.

It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.

Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.

Some examples, to get the discussion rolling:
< Socialist-run media outlets (MeansTV, party article/newspapers, self-hosted podcasts)
< Socialist-owned forums (/leftypol/s, eRegime, socialist mastodon instances, socialist lemmy instances like Hexbear)
< Socialist closed chat groups (Matrix channels, Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal/Di$cord groups [still vulnerable to deplatforming, but limited] )
< Postering/stickering/graffiti
< Personal networks (word of mouth)

Belarus, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Indonesia…
WTF?
LOL?
Explanation?
This looks incredibly random. Why did these join the Trump union? How do you explain the "AES" Vietnam being in the Trump union? Or the China-influenced Mongolia? Or Russia-influenced central asian countries? What gives?
Let me guess, you're all going to say its 5D chess.

Would a vanguard party led revolution even work in the modern USA?

What i mean is with policy like contelpro, and with the feds just being able to track pretty much everyone that'd raise alarms through their technology as well as the technology of people associated with them due to the insane reach of the servalence state, how could a centralized organization like a revolutionary vanguard even do its job of leading and recruiting revolutionary forces whilst also building duel power and not be infiltrated and broken up from the inside?


Like theirs a reason that most active terrorist groups operating in the us have just started using cell structures and "leaderless resistance", basically being loosely related cells of at most a dozen people, but thats not really something us commies can do.


what do you think? Am i just being wrong, or do we need to come up with some other strategy for working in the imperial core?

I find it especially ironic that Islamists, who claim to be reactionaries yet are nothing but impotent conservatives: the loyal servants of of capital, have exacerbated the social ills of bourgeois society which they claimed to oppose.

Islamists in my country used to attack communists for "promoting prostitution" and the "community of women" (women owned in common) this was refuted by Marx as early as the Manifesto who pointed to the hypocrisy of this accusation, nevertheless what happened once Islamists captured power with the backing of multinational capital and the petty bourgeoisie? Public prostitution became prevalent and organized, an underground industry run by this new bourgeoisie. Religious cities became brothels that people cross oceans for, with the blessings of God and law - prostitution became holy "temporary" marriage, a market fueled by endless victims of poverty, austerity and war.

As for private prostitution (marriage) civil marriage was de facto abolished and with it any concessions offered to the woman, communists used to rally against the payment offered to the woman's family to consummate the marriage arguing that it is a form of commodification, this has now became the standard practice, cementing the woman's role as a commodity first, prompting her to rot until she is inevitably sold rather than take her own path in life.

The separation of genders have twisted the view of women to be mere objects of sexual gratification rather than real conscious beings. This view twisted further by pornagrahy; the consumption rates of which is amongst the highest in the world despite being banned and labelled taboo. Naturally the rates of harassment and rape have also increased despite bullying women into suppressing their every feminine character.

I suppose eventually it became convenient to lift any ostensible restrictions around this commodity, and so the age of marriage was lowered to 9 in order to save them from degeneracy of celibacy.

Now believe me when I say I don't shutter at the 'immorality and injustice' of any of this for the commodification of women and children is entirely within the logic of capitalism, in this extreme case it has only been elevated into a more public form under the guise of God, the only way to abolish it remains to be by abolishing all class distinctions.

The point of this post is more so to point to the hypocrisy of conservatives who purport to oppose the prevaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The notion of a vanguard is not a notion of a political elite, though it can decay into one, but rather it is a notion of a highly developed strata of professional revolutionaries who guide the proletariat simply because of the fact that they had better access to political education. Sometimes this is described as "the most advanced section of the proletariat" but we often find not merely highly educated and motivated proletarians in the vanguard, but also plenty of bourgeois class traitors in (Engels), class traitors from the nobility (Felix Dzerzhinsky, Zhou Enlai) peasants (Lenin, Mao), the child of a plantation owner (Castro), and petty bourgeoisie (Marx himself, at least the young Marx, before his exile and relative poverty and England).

In the 19th century and early 20th century, this vanguard naturally contained many class traitors, since political education was rarely extended to the working class. Marx had maids, even in his apartment in London, and Lenin employed housekeepers even in his exile to a cabin in Siberia. This was a group of unusually educated professional revolutionaries who did so much reading, so much writing, so much public speaking, and attended so many meetings, that they did not have time to cook their own meals, do their own laundry, wash their own dishes, and could not have done so even if they wanted to. They needed help with basic domestic tasks from the very workers they wanted to liberate.

Today it is different. The worker can listen to the entire Marxist-Leninist canon as audiobooks while attending to the menial tasks which occupy daily life, both at work and at home. The worker can publish their thoughts to a site such as this easily, without needing access to a publishing company or a printing press. A worker can attend a party meeting in the form of a video call, while driving. This enables the worker to be every bit as involved in the theoretical half of the class struggle (reading theory, writing theory, speaking publicly, attending meetings) as they already were in the practical half of the class struggle (working, striking, fighting, dying). This calls into question whether the vanguard is the individual in a suit sitting in an office publishing theses against bourgeois rivals while servants bring tea and warm meals, or whether the vanguard is the individual who listens to Marx and Lenin while washing dishes.

How To Destroy Imperialism And Get Rich While Doing It

Step 1: Borrow Imperialist Stocks (military industrial complex especially) (avoid AES stocks and Communist stocks like Chinese stocks)

Step 2: Sell them on the market

Step 3: destroy imperialist factories affiliated with the companies you borrowed stocks from. (bonus: get rightoids to do it. say the companies are Woke or something)

Step 4: Stock price plunges

Step 5: buy back the shares cheap

Problem, imperialism?

What is your thoughts on the Los Angeles Maoist Red Army? Ive been it around discord lately and wanted to know what it is and what you guys think about it?

Stalin
>The struggle that the Emir of Afghanistan is waging for the independence of Afghanistan is objectively a revolutionary struggle, despite the monarchist views of the Emir and his associates, for it weakens, disintegrates and undermines imperialism; whereas the struggle waged by such "desperate" democrats and "Socialists," "revolutionaries" and republicans as, for example, Kerensky and Tsereteli, Renaudel and Scheidemann, Chernov and Dan, Henderson and Clynes, during the imperialist war was a reactionary struggle, for its results was the embellishment, the strengthening, the victory, of imperialism.

Trotsky
>In Brazil there now reigns a semifascist regime that every revolutionary can only view with hatred. Let us assume, however, that on the morrow England enters into a military conflict with Brazil. I ask you on whose side of the conflict will the working class be? I will answer for myself personally—in this case I will be on the side of “fascist” Brazil against “democratic” Great Britain. Why? Because in the conflict between them it will not be a question of democracy or fascism. If England should be victorious, she will put another fascist in Rio de Janeiro and will place double chains on Brazil. If Brazil on the contrary should be victorious, it will give a mighty impulse to national and democratic consciousness of the country and will lead to the overthrow of the Vargas dictatorship.

Destroy capitalism and replace oil with hemp. No more need for petroleum based plastics, papers, toilet papers, foam, cardboard, COVID masks and other materials and hempseed oil can power a G20 diesel engine (like a BMW G series) if you ran it carbon negative with biochar and ethanol transesterification and a mechanical manual oil presser for the seeds. You can make hemp biodiesel this way. Will need to mix in lye and other ingredients. Could also be carnon neutral if you used methanol. Only difference is carbon neutral releases no carbon into the atmosphere, carbon negative absorbs carbon from the atmosphere - could cause global cooling and Ice Age if this were as widespread as petroleum engines.
