First world 'workers' aren't proletariat they're labour aristocrats. Most of them are in unproductive 'service' jobs while most of what they consume is created in the global south. They consume more than they produce, their standards of living would go down with worldwide communism. So their class interest lies with imperialism and they cannot be organized by communists. Revolution in the global north is impossible and reformism in favour of the labour aristocratic parasites only strengthens imperialism. Only in the third world revolution is possible and the first world """worker""" parasites are our direct enemies.

It's common knowledge that "the middle class is shrinking" but the difference is where they are going. While some people leaving the middle class are becoming poor, the greater majority are actually experiencing UPWARD social mobility, joining the upper middle class with a petit bourgois attitude being instilled by nontrivial retirement savings tied to the stock market. In the US at least (and probably true in most core/developed nations as well), the PMC/Labour Aristocrat/Upper middle class is GROWING. Around 30% of the US population now makes a 6 figure salary which makes them extremely wealthy by both global and even US standards.

How does this square with an immiseration thesis based critique of capitalism? Are these just the imperial spoils of unequal exchange? Gains based on technology?

The chumps who think they can or should turn critique of liberal identity politics into Red recruitment of 4chan should probably just revive the scare story about Lenin nationalizing/redistributing the country's wife supply.

Not a copy of the anarchist generals just a one where anarchist just talk (this thread is going to get a lot of sewerposting) their ideas and answer question that are probably not about sewers.

I think often times when people discuss the implacability of Capitalism and the lack of "revolution" for the last 20-40 years they have a tendency to obsess over the next capitalist calamity, the next market failure, pandemic, world war, etc., anything that to their mind would be an opportunity to shake capitalist liberalism enough to let some kind of great red enlightenment grip most people. The given assumption being that when Capital is revealed for the 500th time to be a monstrous entity, that the majority of workers will be become some variety of leftist.

What I'm curious about is how communists intend to either destroy or get around the commonly held perception that "commies killed gorillions and were bad at basic econ, leading to foodn'ts." Communists are correct when they point out how Capitalism's autistic shitwaves (2008, 1929, etc.) create waves of ideological changes in people who are differently affected by said shitwave. The issue is that in previous examples of this happening like the 1929 market crash occurred before there was a deeply ingrained, constantly maintenanced, bureaucracy of historical revisionism with anything that concerned Communism. Sure there was anti-communist books and propaganda then, but nothing as developed as the last 60 years of slander. How different spheres of the left reacted to this bureaucracy likely contributes to modern stagnation of Socialist movements, insofar as every party, union, etc. even social democrats have to formulate which pieces of cold war arguments that they accept, reject, or something they agreed happened but not like the anti-communists claimed they did, blah blah blah. Left spaces on the internet also respond to this in different ways, /leftypol/ naturally laughs at and refuse to engage the frequent "commie did bad" post that pop up (likely because of the chan-style nature of /leftypol/ and because of /pol/ boogeyman that lingers from constant shitty raids), Stupidpol accepts generally the narratives about the USSR and China, and often complains of "tankies" which they malign for their social progressivism. Regardless, any and all discussion on "the left" will eventually reach a point of discussing X failure, Y atrocity, Z authoritarianism, and thus spreads the curse of the Doomer and blackpills all around.

A response I often hear is that by showing graphs, using facts and logic, and by demonstrating the nolstagia for Socialism that exists in places like Russia, then the prPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

This year’s annual survey by the anticommunist Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, conducted by leading pollster firm YouGov, found an immense increase in support for socialism over the last year, particularly among those between the ages of 16 and 39.

>Within the Gen Z group (ages 16-23), support for socialism increased nearly TEN percentage points over the course of a single year: from 40 percent in 2019 to 49 percent when this poll was taken in September 2020.
>Looking at the entire population, support for capitalism declined from 58 percent in 2019 to 55 percent in 2020, while support for socialism among all Americans increased from 36 percent in 2019 to 40 percent in 2020.
>60 percent of Millennials (age 24-39) support a “complete change of our economic system away from capitalism,” and 57 percent of Gen Z does as well: increases of 8 and 14 percentage points, respectively, from just last year.
>Thirty percent of Gen Z has a favorable view of Marxism, and 27 percent of Millennials.

>Chinese communists do entryism in the KMT
>get purged and massacred

>British socialists do entryism in the Labour Party

Why do people keep trying this? Is there a single instance of entryism being a successful strategy at any point in history?

Fascism has been conceived in Italy in year 1919, although some of its hallmarks have been already present during the first world war. Since the inception of the fascist movement and till the end of 1920 italian entrepreneurs and landlords could not oppose the revolutionary movement openly, this is why during this period fascism didn't play a huge role in their struggle against workers and peasants. Fascists only began to surge after the fall of 1920 when the movement for the takeover of factories and plants ended in failure. Thanks to the complete support of the government, military, police, courts of law and, most importantly, big businessmen and landlords fascists have managed to deploy their terror. Liberals, enamored by the terrorist campaign against the workers and peasants, have made haste to introduce fascists to big politics, and after that to give complete power to Mussolini.
During the long period of its reign, Italian Fascism has made its way from the politics of classic liberalism to an open terroristic dictatorship. In struggle for its existence, this regime didn't shy away from any left-wing rhetoric or any socialist slogans. Dr. Goebbels did not have to invent anything new. Undoubtedly, Italian Fascism and corporatism are pure state capitalism, but the "state" part does not mean "in the interests of the state or the society". It means instead, "with the help of state apparatus". Who was the main beneficiary under the fascist regime? Of course, it was the italian oligarchs. And indeed, as the corporatist system was being built it was becoming clear that no "revolution" in relations between labour and capital has occurred. No social justice has been achieved. Fascists have never had it in their mind to encroach upon private property and other features of capitalist economy. And still, the corporatist system has introduced something new. An ordinary capitalist state is founded on formal recognition of independent labour unions and right to strike. Corporatist state then is founded on violent crackdown on independent workers' organisations and a complete ban on strikes. Class solidarity in fascist terms is an absolutization of business interests and enslavement of workers that in its turn lead to degradation, destruction and war. That is not surprising for if the state stops containg the entrepreneurs' appetites then sooner or later the plundering of population reaches such a ludicrous scope that no terror apparatus will be able to handlPost too long.

What are the odds that Capital is effectively an eldritch horror, an egregor, whose form is the transformation of the living world into lifeless commodities, and whose name is Death, whose future is the Apocalypse?
Is Capital the demiurge borne of human social relations?
With the emergence of the Sixth Mass Extinction in Earth’s history, can Capital be known as the nuclear chaos at the center of human social organization that uses its twisting, split forms to emerge as did the asteroid that emerged from the infinite black to destroy that world of the Cretaceous?

Is life a cosmic horror story, black pill me, Leftypol
