The reason why emancipation happened in Jamaica etc is partially becase of the Haitian revolution, the most radical elements trickle down and force change

You never let a good crisis go to waste. If you are a leftst in Haiti you should be jumping at the opportunity to do something.

>>2877812
Yes? The Haitian colony was basically everything bad about post-revolution Haiti but with slavery stacked on top, so there wasn't really any loss in freeing themselves anyways.

>>2819423
As for why Haiti never had a proletarian revolution, the answer is that they were never really in a good position too. Haiti throughout most of it's history has mostly been an agrarian nation with little industrialization developing throughout it's lifespan, and industrialization makes workers a lot more class aware because of the relation to their labor and it's exploitation. The Haitian revolution being a bourgeois revolution alongside being a slave revolt probably didn't help either. Combine this with a ruling class who has basically been under the thumb of the US and who were actively stamping down on any serious communist movement in their country and you get a nation where most of the proletariat have very little class consciousness to speak of.

>Kant also rationalised war as a progressive force of "perpetual peace", where disputes are resolved by the forced result of a concession.

that's a load of crap. during kant's lifetime europe was in a state of perpetual war and he was insulated from all of it because he was a privileged intellectual, a gentleman scholar. his closest exposure to war was during the seven years war, when his homeland the prussian empire teamed up with the british empire and went to war with the rest of europe, killing about 10% of the entire european peasant population at the time. for a few years the russian army had occupied kant's home city and he and his fellow prestigious academics all immediately betrayed their country and swore allegiance to the russian empress in exchange for being allowed to keep their wealth and their positions. just for comparison, if a peasant soldier in the prussian army even tried to desert he would be forced to slowly walk a gauntlet back and forth between two rows of soldiers caning him on his bare back until he died, but a privileged prussian scholar like kant could publicly swear allegiance to a foreign enemy and it wasn't considered a crime at all, it was just business. this is the kind of person whom we are supposed to revere as one of the brilliant philosophers of our great western culture, this craven powdered-wig fop who lived inside of a plastic bubble totally removed from reality, sitting on ornate furniture writing about war and morality while getting drunk on expensive wine imported from an enemy country. a so-called "world citizen", like these modern-day silicon valley techbros who think that they are outside of everything and have this higher understanding of it all and are totally oblivious of their own tremendous privilege. western people who call themselves leftists really need to do something about their preprogrammed eurocentrism and deification of the historical european intellectual elite, which includes marx and engels. they need to stop internalizing the idea that all of the knowledge of the world comes from the minds of a few great men in europe and a few highly-publicized books, start becoming more mindful of the extreme historical biases in play and the fact that there is a whole other vast universe of knowledge beyond what we are taught in our schools that has always bPost too long.

Hegel also welcomed the conquest of Prussia by Napoleon because of the illusions of progress. If Hegel's life was immediately threatened, I doubt he would be so enthusiastic. As for Kant himself, he only published his Critique of Pure Reason when he was 57, and so lived a life of leisurely contemplation before then. His ultimate aims for the project of Perpetual Peace was the creation of a global government, such as the United Nations. Liberals in this time also concieved of free trade as a means of ensuring mutual interests, but free trade itself is mostly an imperial interest, so we return to hegemony.

On Kant's politics, I have discovered inconsistencies, where in "Groundwork for the Metaphysic of Morals" (1785) he sees the "moral law" as categorical imperative by practical reason, and so we are made free by the legislative act, presuming the legislative body above the executive branch (e.g. parliament above president). This has continuity in "Perpetual Peace" (1795) where a code of international law is suggested (which before this time there was only the "law of the seas" of Grotius, 1609). This really has precedence in Rousseau, such as in his "Discourse on Political Economy" (1755), where he says that the limit of positive law grants freedom henceforth, similar to Thomas Paine in "Common Sense" (1776), where he defines government as a "necessary evil", and thus a ground for freedom by its constitutive limit. We see in Coke's "Petition of Right" (1628) a cause for the "rule of law"; a sentiment carried on into Enlightenment. Yet, in Kant's other work "Principles of Political Right" (1791) we see that Kant views Sovereignty as the right of executiveship, reversing his apparent Republicanism by favour of monarchy over democracy. Kant's attitude to royalty was always inconsistent, offering praises to the Prince in his first edition of Critique of Pure Reason. He was an opportunist, as you imply. On Kant's class interests, we also see him philosophically justify an idea of intellectual property in his text "Of the Injustice of Counterfeiting Books" (1785). Copyright Law itself was an 18th century invention, with precedence of publishing rights limited in the case of the KJV Bible (1611), which is still in effect today. Kant makes note of the "profit" of unauthorised publishers being owed to authors, and so intertwines morality and monPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Do you know what the word "private" means?
They PRIVATELY admitted to their OWN PARTY COMRADES they would’ve lost. Why do you keep inserting appeasing the Allies into this scenario? Are you stupid?
>Khrushchev attempting to make detente
No, dumbass, Khrushchev authored his memoirs in secret after he was overthrown, and he wrote it before detente became official Soviet policy. The only reason we know the memoirs exist is because his son smuggled copies to the US and Western Europe in the 1970s; it was a major political embarrassment for the Soviets at the time.

>TERF who edited Glinner's memoir is shocked to find that all their TERF pals support a far-right bookshop
<For many prominent GCs who genuinely started out on the left, it’s clear that hanging out on the right, taking pay cheques from UnHerd, The Critic, Spiked and The Spectator, and knowing they’ll get a sympathetic ear from Julia Hartley-Brewer of Talk TV or Josh Howie of GB News, has meant they end up sounding very like their new right-wing friends. Cheering for Israel and abusing anyone who opposes the genocide of Palestinians has become de rigueur for many vocal GCs.
<When some of them embrace obsessive anti-Muslim racists who happen to be GC, it feels like they’re not doing it despite the Islamophobia, but because of it. This distortion of values doesn’t escape trans rights activists. As one mocked the other day: ‘You could not write a better punchline to the “protect women and girls” TERF academics joke, than them all coming out to eulogise the wife-beating paedophile Rod Liddle.’
<Someone else at SiP told me she hated the far right but would ‘link arms with whoever I have to’ on the issue of gender ideology. This is a familiar position, but I would suggest it’s not actually true. Yes, they’ll work with anyone on the right. But if you’re the kind of deranged ‘tankie’ and ‘Hamas apologist’ who thinks it’s bad to shoot Gazan kids in the head for target practice, they don’t want to know you.
they're so close to getting it. (but then go down the blind alley of wanting a new TERF left grouping instead, which will always in the end lead to you the grotesque spectacle of the CPB praising the Supreme Court and British Government.)

Every single time lmao, it's like being anti-trans is a brain worm that overrides everything else they supposedly believe in, also why I cringe at "anti-idpol" types

You just know those types of "people" would be bitching about the DDR, not because of anything related to revisionism or anything along those lines but because of their position on trans people

If anything as it gets hotter, the rate of denial increases.

NEW

As general of the red army he massively failed the iberation of Europe by attacking Poland while the USSR was still weak and fighting Romanov loyalists, as a result of which future leaders had to pull shit out of Siberia's ass to fund African rebels instead of using pre-established French factories

He replaced marxism with social degeneration theory and class with "bureaucratic stratum", making him the arch revisionist

Is combined and uneven development theory any good? Is it useful?

Poland was lost because of Stalins fault. He delayed the attack.

Might as well drop some open intel about illegally developed devices and illegally imported devices by China through the ports.

Huawei is importing electromagnetic components without markings.

There is multiple Chinese money printed funded housing deals which occurred for land acquisition for spy purposes.

There is multiple police stations which were operating for the Chinese communist party illegally persecuting individuals illegally.

There is multiple ill-obtained ports.

There is an undermining Chinese force within universities which are mainly operating for militaristic purposes which include generating underwater military technology, civilian surveillance, labor party infiltration assets, illegal identities are used from multiple Chinese satellite neighboring countries.

Biolabs have operated illegally and are suspected to have targeted the population.

why would Chyna invade Cuck Island when they can just wait for the US to collapse?

capitalism is the highest stage of feudalism

>>2886524
Those Italian city-states did not have a Capitalist Mode of Production, which starts with a restructuring of agricultural lands. They were only proto-capitalist in the sense of being dominated by merchant capital. But merchant capital has existed and has played major roles in society since the earliest societies recorded in history.

one could argue that we are in a state of feudalism right now. everything is owned by a few huge corporations that don't really have any competition, consumer agency is pretty much non-existent, we don't really buy goods or services anymore we just pay rent for access to them and the rent is constantly going up and we have nowhere else to go to find a better deal, and the same goes for our jobs that we rely on for everything, our employers dole out the minimum amount of money they can get away with paying us for our work and we cannot form unions or have any kind of leverage because our employers are hyperwealthy multinationals who can hire scabs from anywhere in the world to replace us, and now even conjure up non-human scabs to replace us spun up by some even bigger and more evil tech corporation.

I think with that level centralization and state direction of economy its closer to an Asiatic mode of production than feudalism. Think the Qin dynasty.

Yes, because of double standards. What’s new under the sun?

>The harm identified by psychologists is not just the act of taking the photo but the inability of the victim to ever fully move past the event because the evidence of their exploitation is always accessible to strangers.

Again, more metaphysical bullshit that can equally apply to the pictures of Abu Ghraib tortured detainees and Phan Thi Kim Phuc as a girl (a.k.a., Napalm girl). Again, it’s just a bullshit excuse made up by the pigs to justify state repression. Why do you support the pigs on this endeavour?

I also can’t help but notice that you’re relying on muh feelz to justify state censorship like KOSA. I got an embarrassing video of myself posted on FB. Should the law now be changed so that everyone in possession of said video should be arrested so that I can move on from the exploitation?

>People aren't interchangeable, there's a reason why national characteristics exist.

yeah that's why racists throw screeching fits about immigration and decreasing white birthrates and the normalization of interracial couples producing brown children, because they are so confident in their theories of biological incompatibility between human beings who don't look exactly alike. that's why horny drunk white soldiers have raped native women and left behind whole generations of halfbreed bastards in every country they have ever invaded, because geographically-distant humans are like cats and dogs and there's just no possible connection between them. it's just a weird coincidence that american indians have slanty eyes and straight black hair like east asians do and that north america and east asia happened to be connected by a land bridge 15,000 years ago, these are clearly two completely separate sets of "national characteristics" that have nothing in common. or if they do, then they still have nothing in common with white people, because white people are pure and have no connection to the various subhuman races, white people came from atlantis and were descended from the ancient high elves of the hyperborea.

They're already offshored everything but okay

1. Birth rates are decreasing everywhere.
   
   
2. Uncontrolled migration, especially of a mass kind, can create tensions, divisions, and even violence amongst the working class.
   
   

What capitalist countries tend to do is mass important foreign labourers within short time frames. Then tensions rise for both cultural & economic reasons, with wage compression, working conditions deteriorating or unemployment rising amongst low skilled workers (in the case of a lot of illegal or grey market migration)

Especially in the aftermath of recessions, sections of the bourgeois media apparatus direct the target of peoples anger towards migrants, which protects the bourgeois and the capitalism system (albeit imperfectly)
