/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

It doesn't matter what ideology you have. Whether you're left-wing, right-wing, communist, anarchist, primitivist, nihilist, Nazi, Muslim, or Christian. You can't be a revolutionary if asceticism isn't part of your life. What do you give up? Social media? Video games? Drugs? Shopping? You know perfectly well what the comforts of the system do to your revolutionary spirit. It corrupts you, it makes you dependent. The system re-educates you with consumption and comfort.

I see a lot of talk concerning how Israel should be supported by the USA and European countries for various reasons and, notably, none of them concern with material benefits for either native Europeans or long-time American citizens, instead focusing on abstractions and ideals. As Trump has led the USA into another forever war with Iran (at the behest of Israel, per the words of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio), it is pertinent to talk about a common anti-Zionist talking point that I find counterproductive. Namely: Israel’s colonialism is the same as that of American settle colonialism from the late 18th century to the early 20th century.

This is incorrect as, while America is a settler-colonial state, nonetheless was founded on the basis of enlightenment principles like equality before the law and liberty, considering how the American and French revolutions at the time were leftist at the time of the events, with the notion of equality of men itself being already extremely radical at a time when absolute monarchies were the standard in Europe. That’s not all, as contrary to popular opinion the Founding Fathers themselves weren’t conservative. Whether it’s the lack of any mention specifying the USA as a “white Christian country” founded on the basis of theology in the constitution and the federalist papers, George Washington himself coming to oppose slavery before the abolitionist movement began to gain momentum, many of said fathers being at best deists or nominally Christian, the USA being effectively the first democratic republic in history with limited suffrage being a short-lived experiment that was swept away in favour of universal male suffrage, Thomas Jefferson himself owning a copy of the Quran and a version of the Bible excised of all supernatural elements and among other examples show that the USA was far from the hotbed of reactionary politics both liberals and chuds tend to portray it as. Even the Indian Removal Act that led to the infamous “Trail of Tears” wasn’t unanimously agreed upon, with strong opposition by Christian missionaries and other politicians who opposed it based on the shared humanity and parity between white settlers Native Americans. Indeed, while such ideals coexisted with institutionalised inequality, it is precisely by appealing to those founding ideals unique to America's foundations that movements like MLK's civil rights was even possible. Indeed, had it not been for America, most of the progressive movementsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa

> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.

> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.

> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT

> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

Private sector "innovations" are almost entirely hype and bullshit and exaggerated claims and continuously finding worse and worse ways to reinvent the wheel and devotion to nothing but short term profit from venture capital, zillions of dollars devoted into things like AI chatbots to replace human labor with inferior slop, cryptocurrency pump and dump scams, ridesharing companies that make taxis and delivery services that charge customers more and pay drivers less, anti-aging drugs that will never work, actually useful drugs being repurposed into cosmetic drugs, renewable energy technologies that will never work, space exploration projects that will never pan out, electric cars that are so overpriced and shitty that we had to enact massive tariffs to stop Americans from buying cheaper better ones from China, smarthome technology that nobody wants or needs except bored millionaires, cars and electronic devices deliberately designed to break early and be unrepairable to increase sales volume, life-saving pharmaceuticals locked behind patents for decades and price gouged to exploit the sick and dying.

The one thing I am looking forward to at this point is when this "innovation" finally backfires in the worst possible way, like when China starts using their reverse-engineered clones of US AI models to utterly destroy the concept of intellectual property forever, when every software patent and pharma patent and trade secret can be reverse-engineered by anyone at the press of a button and the secret inner workings of absolutely everything we manufacture instantly becomes public knowledge and can be sold as a perfect generic clone at a fraction of the price, courts overwhelmed with more lawsuits than they could ever possibly settle with, tariffs and trade restrictions and economic sanctions desperately trying to undo what cannot be undone, the private r&d industry losing all incentive to come up with the next patentable marketable bullshit idea and closing up shop, tech innovation returning to the domain of the public sector where it belongs.

might be silly to ask users of an inherently hobbyist shitposting forum to confront its hobbyism in their movement but maybe this will pull some people out of the vicious cycle of the Four Opportunists.

Why are the bourgeoisie so unapologetically evil? I know this is a stupid question but its hard for me to fathom how a human being could be as malicious and uncaring as the bourgeoisie are. Do they not care at all for the suffering they cause humanity, and the destruction they bring to the planet as a whole? Or do they delusionally believe that what they are doing is somehow in the right?
