Why do almost all modern "communist" party members look like 'that'.
I sound like a conservative here but all communists nowadays look fat and uncared for. Aren't ML parties supposed to prepare a vanguard for the revolution? If so why do most ML parties have members like slobs? Every time I look at my local communist org I get repulsed and honestly, if I weren't a communist myself, I would never take them seriously.
What is the solution to this degeneracy?

I look at early Science fiction, and it seems a lot of it before the 50's had a communist character to it - thinking of stuff like "Red Star" or the whole topic of Russian Cosmism, it seems a lot of this got swallowed up by liberal and pro-colonial science fiction (starship troopers, star trek). So what happened? How would you contrast proletarian science fiction and bourgeoisie science fiction generally?

Let's imagine an economy where production and distribution is determined through a plan, where workers obey an elected factory manager, and where there is no massive corruption or parallel market activity.
How would the following issues be solved ?

>information problem

How do you determine where to allocate labor, and where to distribute the products

>Under/Over reporting problem

There is an incentive gap between the workers at a factory tasked with production, and the planners who do not know how much they can produce.
How do you make certain that the workers are truthful about their productive capacities ?

>innovation problem

How do you make sure that there workers aim at adopting and implementing new technologies to the fullest extent possible, and that they also try to develop local innovations by themselves.
In essence, how do you make sure that the workers use the most efficient means of production.

>ECP/Price determination

If the economy is currency-less, how do you determine opportunity-costs ? If there is some form of tractability between goods, how do you determine the prices of different goods.

yeah, dirt cheap travel by plane is totally a prerequisite for a functioning market economy and not an example of the excesses and wastefulness of it. boeing becoming a dysfunctional quasi state enterprise that lost its core competency in engineering and manufacturing functional air planes is a great example for how well the market is able to allocate ressources in an efficient manner.
you ignoring every good faith post giving you arguments isn't you being a dishonest wrecker moron.

its totally us who are lazy and combatative and not you who has not a single clue about even the most basic fundamentals of political economy; or how a modern manufacturing supply chain operates end to end.

>>2858806
  1. (you) every post you think is mine, I need a good laugh
  2. yes, people being able to travel is good, actually.
  3. you can't accuse me of blaming the state for boeing's failures and then turn around to claim I'm using it being a quasi state entity as an example of market efficiency. this is just incoherent. stop seething and think before you post. (after you hastily (you) half the thread, of course.)

If crime is merely a function of poverty why do the bourgeoisie who are ultra rich commit so many crimes?

Seems to me crime is more of a function of sociopathy than poverty

Nice misframing, monkey boy!

This claim is usually made in the context of petty theft, violent muggings and gang murders. The kind of crime that makes everyday people, or small business owners, feel unsafe.
The ultrawealthy and states tend towards committing different crimes.

>Seems to me crime is more of a function of sociopathy than poverty

Crime and law is not a proxy for morality or social cohesion. I regularly avoid paying the wealthy and I use those savings to support people and organizations in need - am I therefore a sociopath?

A revolutionary socialist party striving for the supremacy of the proletariat must remain independent of the bourgeoisie in order to propagate its ideas among the masses. To this end, it requires an anti-imperialist policy based on solidarity with workers worldwide and opposition to any financing of financial capital's dominance abroad—without exception; this includes arms sales, loans, and aid that sustain capitalist-imperialist hegemony.

Necessary political slogans include: guaranteed public employment; a reduction in the workday; wage equality within unions, alongside the removal of all barriers preventing the formation and action of radical unions; the abolition of contracts with private companies in favor of public enterprises that compete against private firms in the market; the unionization of all workers; and labor and civil rights for all workers—including immigrants—with wage parity vis-à-vis native workers and compensation for any intensified exploitation, with the cost always borne by the capitalists. Furthermore, workers must have the legal right to pursue litigation at the capitalists' expense, and pensions must be removed from the realm of financial speculation, becoming a public guarantee controlled by the pensioners themselves, with costs covered by the capitalists who exploited the workers, backed by state guarantees. Maternity and paternity must be guaranteed by the government, and the cost of child-rearing must be borne by society; society bears the responsibility of caring for the elderly and the disabled.

All banks must be nationalized and controlled by a workers' council—free of speculators and capitalists—to regulate the minimum wage by linking it to the cost of food and workers' necessities, thereby minimizing the impact of inflation on the workforce. All government spending must be transparent and overseen by a popular workers' council to politicize every public expenditure through participatory budgeting; any fiscal responsibility laws must be abolished. Public enterprises are to be managed by workers' councils, excluding capitalists. Public debts must be audited, and all obligations and contracts with private companies reviewed, with the aim of ending speculation on public debt and bankrupting private firms so that cooperatives and public enterprises can dominate; cheap credit and debt should be usedPost too long.

Why dont they just kill all palestinians? They could end this conflict once and all if they just rounded-up everyone from gaza and the west bank and shot them. Literally nothing is stopping them and nobody would care or try to prevent them if they did.
Yet they don't, why?

>Actually, killing people in mass quatities is hard and costly. Specially if you want to use the land they lived on AND you don't want to anger the neighbourgs. One recent example is how Rojava abandoned a big islamist prison to be taken by the turkish proxies. Rojava didn't have the time nor the resources to kill the +1000 islamists there in hours.

I bet washington just said "no" and "keep going south, though, and rounding up arabs, we need them for later". And the rest is irony, i mean, history.

Cat's often like to play with their catches before they kill them. Also it's better for them and their Western partners to go slow enough that they can keep it off the news.

Iran is reversing decades worth of infrastructure and presence built by the US in the Middle East since Iraq. Iran is uniting the muslim world against a common enemy to bring the arrival of the 12th imam (the mahdi), ending with the destruction of Israel and the US. Türkiye is feuding with Israel and can cut off Azeri oil through their territory if they wanted to. Not saying that Erdoğan will. Iran has killed 11 US soldiers and 1 contractor, killed many more Israeli soldiers and civilians (along with Hezbollah). Israel has already been kicked out of Lebanon twice since the 1982 Lebanon War/South Lebanon Conflict (1985-2000) and the 2006 Lebanon War. I predict it might happen again when you combine the Iranian front to add on top of all this. Right now it's just Iran and Hezbollah vs. the US, Israel and Ukraine. Turkey might join. Russia is already giving satellite information to Iran. A ground invasion is imminent. Expect substantial US casualties.

"Between capitalist and communist society there lies the period of the revolutionary transformation of the one into the other. Corresponding to this is also a political transition period in which the state can be nothing but the revolutionary dictatorship of the proletariat." - K. Marx

"Under collective ownership, the so-called will of the people disappears, to make way for the real will of the cooperative" - K. Marx

"When the people are beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called 'the People's Stick.'" - M. Bakunin

I'm not interested in arguing with some hasanabi hot topic socialist who doesn't even know the strengths and weaknesses of what he professes to believe.

>>2877963
When we're talking about the dictatorship of the proletariat we are talking about a period of emergency rule when classes are liquidated. This doesn't necessarily equal despotism or state violence. Secondly, when Bakunin talks about the people beaten with a stick he doesn't put forward what kind of class character the coercive power of the state would convey in Marx's view and what his alternative to proletarian emergency rule is. There's never been an anarchist revolution without the People's Stick. Bakunin doesn't actually address the contradiction and went into weird shit like participating secret societies to organize insurgencies and terror as opposed to parties which would be able to create a workers' state.

>>2877963
"Bakunin has become a monster, a huge mass of flesh and fat, and is barely capable of walking any more. To crown it all, he is sexually perverse and jealous of the seventeen year-old Polish girl who married him in Siberia because of his martyrdom. He is presently in Sweden, where he is hatching “revolution” with the Finns." - K Marx
I am not interested in people who think a fat pedophile arguing about sticks counts as a valid critique of communism. Hierarchy arises out of the social/economic conditions and can only cease to be through actual changing of those conditions, which can only be brought about with the people's stick. Change the world and change the need for hierarchical forms of social organization

I want Trump to establish a Presidential Dictatorship so the collapse of the United States will be accelerated.

Trump does not care about anything but his ego and his family's name, he is a fascist, he is a capitalist, he is the embodiment of everything wrong with America.

The Democrats need to win the 2026 midterms to take congress for any of this to happen, currently Trump has launched the largest millitary purge in US history, only selecting loyal personnel. I believe he is planning to use the millitary at some point to suspend congress if the democrats try to impeach him, or try to force him to 2 terms, EITHER WAY, we need this to happen.

If Trump were to suspend congress civil war would immediately or eventually start, im certain of this.
And also im not asking for you guys to vote democrat in 2028, if anything vote for the DSA in 2028 since they are running nationally then.

So lets get the collapse started guys

Duginism ruined third worldism.

How? Duginism turned third worldism into boomer tier tradcucking and moralizing about interventionalism in the same way 1st worldists do, except instead of "human rights" now it is tradcuck "because god said so" and third worldism stupidly anti-Machiavellian.

I honestly I can't sympathize with 3rd worldists because they have become mimics and mirrors to 1st worldists–now it is about being as "anti-secular" as possible when many 3rd world regimes were built by secularists and nationalists. Now (due to Iran's influence) ultraclericalism. Now, they're pro-interventionalist on any faggy pretense as much as 1st worldists are.

The worst part about the new religious doctrine of third worldism, as espoused by Duginism, is that all it does is play into the 1st worldists' hands–they love nothing more than to divide and conquer based on religious sectarian fronts, esp. in the Middle East, as that was the original pretext against mobilizing proxy wars against the Soviet Union.
