/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Does anyone else think the whole "NVE" thing that popped up a year or so ago is a dedicated psyop? It came completely out of nowhere despute the fact that violence with obscure motives has always been a thing yet recently all the news outlets are drumming about it and acting like its an ISIS tier threat. Is someone trying to start a new satanic panic or is this a way to make political attacks look likejust mentally ill people schizoing out?
Plus they dont even know what nihilism even means.

So, I'm about to become a manager's assistant, and hopefully after some time a manager proper, which is to say – in classical ML lingo, – I'm climbing the ladder from a productive worker's position to that of an overseer, which inevitably means that in terms of objective class positions, I'm moving from the run of the mill prole to one that is in service of capital, namely, my new function will essentially be to ensure an optimal production process, which inevitably involves neat things like "keeping the workplace clean" but more importantly, heightening the rate of exploitation, etc.

Yet, I'm a fucking communist. And I need this new position, I desperately need a better wage, so I took the job without a moment of existential crisis, or whatever.

So I would like to axe you guys if you've faced such a dilemma before, and how you resolved the contradictions between the individual and the social, meaning still being a fucking communist, yet having to order proles to "properly" submit to the rule of capital, WHILE trying to maintain… sanity…

On the one hand I feel that I earned this position through my blood sweat n' tears: I was always among the best workers, no matter the job, and I differentiated myself from the rest by delivering the highest quality product, doing it the fastest, being reliable and punctual, etc. Just so it happens that this particular company noticed it and said, "Hey, we need this guy," or, "Hey, what about this guy for this position?"

On the other, I understand – to a degree – being called a "nerd" or an "asslicker" behind my back by my fellow proles. To their criticism (or parody, morelike) I would say that I'm simply not "built" in a way that I could ever possibly do the absolute minimum at a job, so that I get paid what everyone else AND not get fired. It's just not an option for me, on a subjective level. Even at my most boring conveyor-belt job, while working, I was constantly thinking about the work I was doing and how to improve my speed, agility, whatever, while I saw my fellow conveyor-slaves dreaming about whatever, or talking about how the company provided dinner "better be good this time," or whatever. (And I'm not blaming them, tbh. It's an alienated existence, but I think there are cracks and there's luck and then you can break through.)

I'm an intense person, an intense personality.

First major victim of radical liberalism?

I've personally approached marx from a more economic perspective and I was surprised to see that some authors treat Marx as primarily a philosopher rather than a social critique.

From the few bits and pieces I've read on it, their work seems completely irrelevant and stuck in philosophical qualms with no relation to the real world. The hegelian interpretation of Marx reads as a bunch of messianic and idealist garbage that Marx would've condemned.
But what's /leftypol/'s opinion on the matter ?

I hope these guys win the coming elections in Israel.
Because no matter who wins the elections, the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians will continue. If one of the liberal Zionists wins they will spin somehow to make it seem less evil. With these two they won't be able to pretend that they're not genocidal freaks. Thus hastening international intervention.
I'm totally accelerationist in this regard.

What do you think of this?

Military Deployment in Bolivia’s Roads Anticipating New Blockades
The government of Rodrigo Paz has deployed Police and Military units after the announcement of road blockades in different areas of Bolivia. In June this year, the government issued a decree to deploy the repression forces of the State before popular protests, such as the road blockades. Therefore, the government imposed a state of exception, which is still ongoing and will last another 22 days.

U.S. close to striking "massive" deal for Venezuelan oil fields
The historic deal would more than double U.S. oil reserves by drawing from a country that has the world's largest proven reserves. "Calling this deal huge would be an understatement," one of the officials said. "It is massive." Adding pressure to get the deal signed: the wars in Iran and Ukraine, which have disrupted global oil supplies and raised prices.

Today most legal systems nominally reject collective punishment, emphasizing individual responsibility. It is also prohibited in armed conflict under international humanitarian law, including the Fourth Geneva Convention. This was not always the case. The Athenian Draco is remembered for harsh laws, from which we get the word "Draconian" but one of his major reforms was to replace private blood feuds with state-administered justice. Before his code, killings were often avenged by the victim's family, leading to cycles of retaliation.

The shift from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt toward individual responsibility and the presumption of innocence was gradual rather than revolutionary. In many ancient and medieval societies, families, clans, villages, or entire communities could be held liable for the actions of one member, and accused individuals often had to prove their innocence through oaths, ordeals, or social standing. These proofs were often ritual in nature and lacked scientific rigor. Over centuries, especially under the influence of Roman legal principles, canon law, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, and liberal constitutionalism, legal systems increasingly emphasized that guilt should be based on evidence against a specific individual rather than group affiliation. Thinkers such as Beccaria and Blackstone argued that protecting the innocent from wrongful punishment was more important than maximizing convictions, leading to higher standards of proof, formal rules of evidence, due process, and the modern principle that the prosecution bears the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Despite these legal prohibitions, governments and armed groups have at times been accused of imposing measures that amount to collective punishment, especially during wars, occupations, and counterinsurgency campaigns. Whether a specific case qualifies is often legally and politically disputed.

The transformation from collective punishment and presumptions of guilt to individual liability and the presumption of innocence was driven largely by changes in state capacity and legal administration. As governments became stronger, more centralized, and more bureaucratic, they relied less on kinship groups to police their own members and more on professional courts, investigators, and judges. Improved record-keeping, forensic methods, written legal codes, and standardized procedures made it increasingly feasible (but not necessarilPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Exmples of what I mean:

• Black Panther Party - aimed to destroy the US and bring communism, did nothing notable, disbanded after being targeted by the state they wanted to destroy. Online leftists say they did nothing wrong and blame the evil capitalist US for not letting a bunch of dudes destroy itself.
  
• The USSR - a system that almost died in late 1960s but was saved by oil prices. When oil prices dropped back down it also died. Thoughout its existence it was plagued by internal issues, corruption, censorship, and Dubai style megaprojects.
  
• Concept of "Late stage capitalism" - the term was coined over 100 years ago and it implies that capitalism is heading towards collapse soon™. Since then capitalisn has transformed multiple times but it is still "late stage" and this time it is definitely going to collapse. (dont look at parallels with christian latter days)

Why the fuck is it impossible for some of you neurotic freaks to be normal? Why must so many of you be contrarian fuckwits? For an ideology called "Socialism" you'd think you'd be able to manage basic social skills and not go "Uhm well ackshually Dolly Parton supported Iraq and didn't post about Palestine" right after she's fucking died. Why are so many of you so autistic you can't grasp something as basic as pandering to the sensibilities of normies even slightly and not screeching incessantly about her being a crakkker fascist or whatever because she wasn't bankrolling the Black Panthers or something?

The goal of Communists is to seize power for the working class. That means elevating the consciousness of the working people to see that their welfare and survival can only be secured by political means. Why are so many of you fuckwits so allergic to power that you think shitting on a figured universally beloved by that working class is a good idea?

Yes, there is a time and a place to discuss how celebrities can be tools to support Imperialism and Capitalism. That time and place is not fucking now. Maybe you're right, she did support Imperialism by being a sex symbol for "da troops" or whatever. Can you retards not grasp that saying that shit NOW doesn't make you a based and principled revolutionary, it makes you look like an unhinged lunatic. You're not just being a contrarian dickhead, you're being a shit Communist, and the entire movement would be better off without you.

Communists are not immune to the basic principles of politics and power-brokering. Touch grass ffs
