/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

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.

Is it possible to be a Christian and be a communist I know Huey Newton was a Christian and a communist, but do you think it’s possible to still be one? I know there’s a lot of Muslim communist like haz

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?

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.

Communism is neither related to "Leftism" nor "Socialism", in fact these reformist movements are antithetical to Communism.

Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle. In fact the entire Comintern was born out of the contradiction between the revolutionary content of Marxism and reformist nature of leftism, the murder of German communists at the hands of their left-socialist "comrades" cemented this seemingly forever (clearly not)

>In this connection all those parties that wish to belong to the Communist International must change their names. Every party that wishes to belong to the Communist International must bear the name Communist Party of this or that country (Section of the Communist International). The question of the name is not formal, but a highly political question of great importance. The Communist International has declared war on the whole bourgeois world and on all yellow social-democratic parties. The difference between the communist parties and the old official 'social-democratic' or 'socialist' parties that have betrayed the banner of the working class must be clear to every simple toiler.
<Twenty-one Conditions, Comintern 1919

Going further back to Marx, this distinction was evident (hence the "communist" manifesto)

>in 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, communism a working-class movement. Socialism was, on the Continent at least, “respectable”; communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very beginning, was that “the emancipation of the workers must be the act of the working class itself,” there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever since, been far from repudiating it.
<Preface to the 1872 German Edition

>But why were the terms later used exchangeably by the early days of Lenin?
Simply, they were not. By "social democrats" Lenin was strictly referring to the membership of the SPD and its analogous party in Russia who upheld the doctrine of Marx at the time until the German SPD broke away from it.

Burnham by-election prospect rattles Labour
The crisis erupted after it became known that Andrew Gwynne, MP for Gorton and Denton in Manchester, was preparing to resign, triggering a by-election. Mr Gwynne has been suspended from Labour for a year after offensive WhatsApp messages emerged. It is understood he has reached agreement with Commons authorities to retire on grounds of ill health. Downing Street will likely mobilise to block any candidacy by Mr Burnham, who has made little secret of his ambitions and has kept up a running commentary on the government’s shortcomings in recent months.

Trump seeking ‘regime change’ in Cuba by end of the year: US media report

The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

You know, I came to the conclusion Zionism cannot have any kind of materialist explanation, because it's not capitalism or whatever, it's simply a cult that must dismantled by humanity together.

Trying to understand Zionism as anything other than a cult will result in failure.

Thoughts?
They seem more cohesive and better trained than Paul Birdsong's Black Panther revival in Phillie
