Discuss:
Communists should, wherever pragmatic, seek positions of power and influence, even those that weigh on our conscience, or even those that necessitate us killing innocent proletarians.

In fact, any unionists even, so long as they believe in strike action, should be placing themselves in critical industries where withdrawal of labor is most potent. If me and three of my coworkers all went on strike today, one of the worlds' largest businesses would be vulnerable to attack from a foreign country. If our movement seeks many of these points of failure, a mere few hundred coordinated workers could upset the current order of things today.

Of course, to ascend to these positions is often reserved for those with privileges, but that doesn't mean we can't still influence these positions externally. The recruitment, or even mere gaslighting of the powerful should be paramount.

There's a balance between conspiratorial thinking and over-applying Occam's razor. Occam's razor, basically says that when several explanations fit the facts, the simplest one that requires the fewest assumptions is usually the best starting point. It works well in the natural sciences because nature often follows relatively simple underlying rules, for example, planetary motion became much easier to understand once Johannes Kepler described elliptical orbits (versus the previous needlessly-complicated system of epicycles) and Isaac Newton explained them with the single principle of Universal Gravitation. But the razor works less reliably in human systems, where incentives, secrecy, and deception can make the materialist explanation more complicated than it first appears; history includes genuine conspiracies such as the Watergate Scandal, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, and the countless CIA coups, all of which involved coordinated wrongdoing that might have sounded farfetched before evidence emerged. Conspiracies can also be difficult to prove even when real because participants keep secrets, information is compartmentalized or classified, and whistleblowers face risks, which means evidence often appears slowly or incompletely. The challenge, then, is finding a balance: if you apply Occam’s Razor too aggressively you may dismiss real hidden coordination, but if you assume elaborate plots everywhere you end up believing explanations that pile on unsupported assumptions. Good reasoning usually means starting with simple explanations while staying open to more complex ones when incentives, evidence, and context genuinely point in that direction.

I hope the USA faces $10/litre at the pumps and the GOP are wiped out electorally.

Fourier thread. Do you think God made us all equal in his image and that no man should be born into, and live in, poverty? How can we make a scientific study of Christian Socialism; is it merely utopian?

In celebration of working woman's day, I have to once again point out it is pretty funny that all the women radlibs hold up as their ideological forerunner explicitly denounced feminism (correctly) as bourgeois, but these people, many of them men funnily enough, just assume "they are women so they must be feminists, duh!"

Revolutionary women like Zetkin and Kollontai (are these two even in le funny random username rotation…?) correctly stated proletarians who are women will be liberated along with all other proletarians in a genuine revolution, and ones who aren't proletarian are simply not the concern of communists, all while completely rejecting the feminist label.

<The Democratic Socialists of America
Why do they exist? What do they do? Who are their allies, who are their enemies? What is this caucus thing? Is BlackRedGuard truly the secret leader of it all? What are their objectives, their tendencies, their strategy, their tactics?
DSA anons, enlighten me.

A thread for people who aren’t riddled with mental illnesses that compromise their ability to comprehend political theory and thought, but who are also not so heartless as to deny the plight of the global poor at the hands of the ruling classes

>Yes Mao and Stalin were incompetent dictators who got millions killed because of bad policy and collaborated with fascists or liberals to do the bidding of the national bourgeoisie, this is corroborated by overhwhelming physical evidence
>No the US was/is not any better in its victimization of the global poor and mass death, but it was not any worse either

QOTT: How do we get left populist candidates in office that can work towards the goal of a total embargo of Israel, achieving universal healthcare, and putting orange pedo in jail?

<It’s not possible without people’s war!
>Not happening. Keep fantasizing about killing people though, evil retard
<Go back to /libpol/!
>I don’t like landlords or gaza genocide deniers
<Have sex with me!
>Okay. How big is your penis?
<Um. Like 5.5 inches
