America certainly has a big advantage in the financial sector. And Lenin was already writing on how overbearing the financial sector can be. It is a bit of a double edged sword however. The more this advantage is leveraged, like freezing russian assets, the weaker it becomes. I could see it proving to be a house of cards in the future and collapsing once more and more transactions abandon the dollar. We will see in the coming months how independent all those satellite countries are with Trump forcing so many issues. Maybe this return to the monroe doctrine and "hard" power proves fruitful. I think it's at the very least precocious.

It's pretty obvious I'm referring to GlowyRetard. Either he's trolling everyone or is genuinely so ignorant that he thinks saying "proletarian" and "Gusano" makes him a real leftist.

Oh I don’t think the dollars long for this world, I fully believe we’re going to be moved to some sort of cryptocurrency reserve system in the west, which I think plays into the strengths of the wests dominance in tech and data, and further powers the dominance of the data economy. I think China is foregoing development in their economy there to pickup what they see as strategic wins in the “old” paradigm

I think using crypto as currency might be the only legitimate use. But it's such a meme now, even normies know about the rug pulls. They are prob gonna implement it anyways since musk is a part of the administration. I just don't see how virtual money on the blockchain is somehow better than virtual money in a bank.

I also think you underestimate China, they have a huge population and a large part of it is now very well educated. Take the often cited deficiency in chip production, it's machines produced in the netherlands and assembled in Taiwan. China prob has more engineers than the entire adult male population of those countries (don't quote me but you get my point). I think they can rapidly change gears to whatever needs they might have. Especially with their focus on planning and autarky. China kinda blindsided the west with electric cars and deepseek. They have long stopped being cheap knockoff land.

>>2185126
I think it’s a lot of things, I think it plays to the US’s strengths in tech R&D and its control over modern tech, I.e. NSA surveillance and custom chip design, I think it’s the way it can both be private for the governments needs in funding as well as public for their ability to track spending data and ecosystems, I think the immutability and unironically the way it facilitates criminal organizations through that immutability almost can also be a big help to the U.S. gov too. It just makes sense to me personally on a lot of levels.

As far as China goes I’m sure you’re right to a degree, It seems we may have an amicable understanding of the shrewd strengths we see in each country, even if we have “favorites”.

No because they explicitly talked about how trying to convince middle-classers of joining the proletarian movement was a waste of time and that only a retard believes communism is a matter of enough people having the right ideas.

Sure, but only due to health problems.

We don't. On Leftypol, it's a wordfilter of the racial slur "N*gger", intended to trip up people from rightwing communities who get angry when you don't let them speak like that.

>They only recognize oppression when it involves some other process.
Then maybe we shouldn't be reinforcing that tendency by de-emphasizing class as the primary basis of exploitation and oppression.
>Ironically you see more class consciousness and racialism from those groups that aren't defined by being proles, because they're already disillusioned with the aspirational myths of capitalism by virtue of how they are discarded.
That's true to a point, and its certainly true that racialization makes racialized people far more likely to be dissidents, however it very often doesn't promote class consciousness as such. The relationship between capitalism and race is not always immediately apparent, and the experience of racialization can just as easily funnel people towards ethnic nationalism or othe forms of false consciousness. Remember that even at their height, the Black Panthers were significantly outnumbered by the Nation of Islam. Generally forms of bourgeois Black radicalism are more prominent than socialism. Dispelling this tendency requires materialist analysis and Marxist education/agitation, exactly like dispelling the white tendency to blame racialized people, immigrants, etc. This is a big issue I have with Sakai-adjacent arguments, a lot of the tendencies towards racially motivated false consciousness can be seen among racialized people, just as it can be seen among whites. The only difference is that in the former case its usually less virulently reactionary. Racialization alienates people from the status quo and makes them its enemies, but it doesn't necessarily promote an accurate understanding of the real causes of their problems or the necessary solutions.

>My hot take on vanguardism in the imperial core is that no revolutionary labor aristocracy party is possible. Due to the bourgeoise character of the imperial core, more horizontal forms of organization are necessary. There is no cause of national liberation to unite the country the way there is in the periphery.
This is the most incoherent basterdization of marxism that i've read in a while, congratulations.

>National liberation
Not needed for the vanguard party, see the bolsheviks, who invented and perfected the entire model of a communist party. They did not fight a war of national liberation, they fought against their own national bourgeoisie and aristocracy. And Mao fought against the national bourgoiesie for a large part too, the KMT was the nationalist block, which the CPC then fought after jointly kicking out the Japanese. Only in examples such as Vietnam can you speak of the conception of the party as the national liberation vanguard.
>Due to the bourgeoise character of the imperial core, more horizontal forms of organization are necessary.
1. Why would you need horizontal forms of organisation?
2. Does not follow at all from there being a higher degree of labour aristocracy.
> in the imperial core is that no revolutionary labor aristocracy party is possible.
The labor aristocracy is the small section of the working class that fills positions of manegerial or extremely well paid jobs, and therefore have outlooks alligned with the bourgoiesie.
1. These are a minority even in the imperial core
2. By definition, they tend to be *bourgoies* minded, so it makes no sense whatsoever to speak of "a labor aristocracy party". "A labor aristocratic communist vanguard party" is an incoherent, self contradicting idea.

No. Members of white churches or other fascist cults are class traitors, cops or bourgeoise proletariate. They are bribed with the privilege of essential social services to terrorize their fellow workers (queers, Black people, etc…). Look into Operation Gladio. Racist violence has always been tacitly approved by the American state.

>>2182393
IMO Nation of Islam is controlled by the feds. It follows that NOI is really a paramilitary wing of the state in the same fashion that the white churches are. I think there's an argument to make that enough status in the NOI makes you bourgeoise proletariate (so a cop) or possibly a comprador (you profit off of facilitating access to super-exploited markets).

Judaism is a universal religion, most nations in the world have some jewish presence, it wasn’t until the rise of naziism and zionism respectively that judaism got racialized

the origins were in the 19th century with the rise of racial 'science' when jews were turned from a religion into a race category.

Not really.

He's right. My family are greek-cypriot who migrated after all the drama with the turks and the military base, they get called distinctly non-white slurs on the street and even the woman in my family have had anti-muslim sentiment for being veiled despite not only being christians but being substantially more christian than the 'christian' in the countries they migrated to.

>Ancient Greeks were black

Jesus fuckin Christ, talking about cultural appropriation, it's like black people can't be happy with their own genuine history and need to go "we wuz", same tier as those nazi nordicism claim even fuckin old China was Nordic, totally delusional

Was Hitler black too?

>>2184432
>>2184434
That's not what the book is about. It's about how much of classical Greek culture was heavily influenced by Egypt and Asia, and how these influences were later deliberately downplayed/denied by Victorian scholars for racist reasons. Not that ancient Greek people were literally Black as we would use that term today.

>oh, so the falling rates of profit dont actually matter then if the profit rate can just be "reset" by wars?
That peak is always still below the previous peaks induced by wars.
Even marx wasn't confident on the falling rate of profit, but empirically as a long term trend it is looking very solid at this point.

>>2182560
>if this esoteric "science" of yours has no predictive power, then what exactly is "scientific" about it?


a tendency for the value rate of profit to decline during long wave periods of expansion [a "novel fact" according to Lakatosian criteria in that the phenomenon was not explained by previous theories; also, this tendency is not predicted by neoclassical economics]

the relative immiseration of the proletariat, i.e., an increase in the rate of surplus-value, as a secular trend [not predicted by neoclassical theory]

an inherent tendency toward technological change, as a secular trend [a "novel fact" according to Lakatosian criteria in that the phenomenon was not explained by previous theories; also not predicted by neoclassical theory]

an increase in the physical ratio of machinery (and raw materials) to current labor, as a secular trend [not predicted by neoclassical theory – indeed, neoclassical theory cannot even provide an ex-post explanation of the causes of the observed increase in this ratio, because it cannot discriminate empirically between supply causes and demand causes]

a secular tendency for technological change to substitute machinery for labor even in capitalist economies which are "labor-abundant" or "capital scarce" [neoclassical theory, by contrast, seems to predict that labor abundant economies should be characterized by the widespread replacement of machinery with labor, both by "substitution" and perhaps by an induced "labor-saving" bias in technological change; however, the history of developing countries supports Marx's prediction and contradicts neoclassical theory]

an inherent conflict between workers and capitalists over the length of the working day [a "novel fact" according to Lakatosian criteria in that the phenomenon was not explained by previous theories; also not predicted by neoclassical theory – indeed, the empirical evidence also contradicts the neoclassical theory of labor supply, according to which the working day is determined by the preferences of workers, because competition among firms forces them to accommodate workers' preferences (according to this theory, there should be no conflict between firms and workers over the length of the working day, but competition has the opposite ePost too long.

>>investment creates profit
investment in established industries with high technology has a low return on investment compared to investment in new industries that havent implemented technology, like underdeveloped or war torn countries.
>so why dont they end it if its in their power?
>>2181790
>organizing
are you just completely unaware of marxism yet confidently sure about it?

OP, you are trying to talk about Marxism without ever engaging with its content. You speak of state intervention "working" while preserving "civil liberties", without asking to what end it is working and what exactly these civil liberties mean for the life of the proletariat.

To answer the question "what exactly is wrong with social democracy?": everything that is wrong with capitalism. If you want an understanding of that, engage with a critique of political economy.
