/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

trying to read das but both it and secondary sources take the labor value theory as a 'given'

i saw in a letter by marx he doesnt feel the need to prove it but i rlly dont understand

My dad is a SocDem(the welfare capitalist kind) tankie. He has tons of books defending the Soviet Union. Try to criticize the Soviets and he would say the CIA have brainwashed you. He makes us celebrate Stalin's birthday every year, and he wholeheartedly believes that Stalin was secretly a social democrat. Every year on 9/11, he complains that the fall of the USSR was a bigger tragedy but doesn't get treated as such at all by the media. He doesn't like communism tho.

We haven't had this thread in a while so I'm bringing it back. >>>/leftypol/2851498 says mods will remove it so I am proving it wrong.

The Zionist Entity is a genocidal settler-colonial apartheid state set up by the European and North American powers to colonize the middle east. Even early zionists like Theodor Herzl understood Israel in these explicitly settler-colonial terms. Here is Herzl speaking in the 1800s, when Palestine was still Ottoman territory:

>If His Majesty the Sultan were to give us Palestine, we could offer to resolve Turkey’s finances. For Europe, we would form part of a bulwark against Asia there, we would serve as the advance post of civilisation against barbarism.

So Theodor Herzel felt not only that European people were entitled to Palestine over the people already living there (including Ottoman Jews), but that the presence of "civilized" Europeans in Israel would form a "bulwark" (forward operating base(offensive, not defensive)) against Asia, which entire continent Herzl racistly characterized as "barbaric."

Herzl was born on May 2nd , 1860 in Budapest, Hungary to a family of German speaking assimilated Jews. His father, Jakob, was a wealthy businessman and the young Theodor was expected to enter politics or engineering by his parents. In a sense, he did not disappoint, as Herzl was destined to become the father of political Zionism. While Herzl never saw his Jewish state during his lifetime, his ideology remains so influential that even today he is considered the father of Israel.

Herzl’s birthday is a holiday in Israel, his grave is a national monument, the organization he founded is still active today and the largest mountain in the country was re-named in his honor. It is not an exaggeration to say that Herzl and his ideology remain central to Zionism.

As a young man, Herzl was a fanatic Germanophile. He believed that if Jews simply tried hard enough, they could become “Germanized” and shake off what he called “shameful Jewish characteristics.” Herzl viewed German culture and language as inherently superior to that of the reviled working-class Yiddish speaking Jews. At first, he believed that Jews should be Germanized, arguing that Eastern European Jews were so "savage" and backwards that they must learn the very concepts of beauty and nobility by studying the works of authors like Goethe and Shakespeare.

Every single marxist-leninist state relies on using reactionary tribalism (nationalism) to maintain societal cohesion as they are utterly incapable of actually creating a unified class consciousnes among the populace.
And if the populace did develop class-consciousness they would quickly overthrow the marxist-leninist state and kill off every single member of the party-bureucrat that ruled over them.

Leonardo Edinburgh factory targeted by pro-Palestine activists
PROTESTERS have blockaded the entrance to an Edinburgh weapons factory with links to Israel. Around 100 pro-Palestine activists gathered outside the Leonardo factory on Crewe Road, in Edinburgh, on Thursday morning. They demanded that the firm "drops the F-35 contract" with weapons firm Lockheed Martin, which they said is complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza as well as attacks on Iran and Lebanon.

Labour movement leaders urge Burnham to end Diane Abbott's party suspension on first anniversary
MP John McDonnell said: “Andy Burnham says he aims to change the culture of the Labour Party and return the party to a broad church — a pluralist party where people’s views are respected. “A first step would be to restore the Labour whip to Diane Abbott.”

Germany massively expands federal police powers
The German Bundestag last week approved a new law that significantly expands the powers of the federal police by providing the scope to use drones, artifPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

In 1992 the Church of Euthanasia started with a simple goal, to end humanity. Its founders, Chris Korda and Robert Kimberk were staunch environmentalists and nihilists who expressed their view of the world in art and protest movements. The group came under heavy scrutiny in the early 2000s for posting a montage of the 9/11 attacks with the title “I like to watch”. They also faced legal trouble when a 52 year old woman committed suicide using instructions they posted on their website.

The church has 4 key pillars, abortion, cannibalism, sodomy, and suicide, all intended to deal with the immense biowaste that we represent. Unlike the voluntary human extinction movement (“may we live long and die out”), the Core took more direct stances with messages like “save the planet, kill yourself”.

Save the planet :), and remind others to do their part.

Among normies, it became increasingly popular to pretend to be autistic, while having no actual symptoms. I.e. autism is a modern fad, like being non-binary - a way to get attention. Actually autistic individuals who don't get clues and can't read the room are still highly unwelcome. These people for example may claim they love to play chess or know programming, but when you start probing what they actually know or care about, you find that it is just their public face, and they are just trying to be cool too hard. Not gatekeeping anything, just mentioning that transsexuals/transmeds already distanced themselves from the "transgender" community. Actual autistic people can follow the example by maybe gating their community with a Bongard Problem captcha, which normies and AI still can't solve.

Who will maintain and enforce public ownership of the means of production once the state is gone.
Who governs, decides and allocates all the necessary resources and production to meet the needs of all the people in the whole world without a state?

I think I understand why incels and the modern right are so well aligned. An incel doesn't actually hate the fact that dating sucks and some attractive men are really successful at the expense of average men. He just hates that HE'S not the successful man. Totally uninterested in whether or not the system is good (or even real, but that's another argument) – he just wants to be the beneficiary of it.

It's the exact same thing with your modern rightoid antisemite. He doesn't actually hate the things he says the jews do. He just hates that it's them doing it instead of him. Totally and absolutely amoral. Whether it's systemically healthy for ANYONE to do it literally never occurs to him.

I finally get it. It's more than just incidental overlap. It is the exact same causal structure. It's a generalized style of interacting with the world. If you have this style, that you become an antisemite is just as natural that you become an incel.
