Can the American-led NATO empire actually achieve it's long term goal of "Prompt Global Strike" or is this pure DoD fantasy copium huffing?

For those unfamiliar with the concept of "Prompt Global Strike" read picture related from books related.

TL;DR Prompt Global Strike is an open secret burger reich goal to be able to strike any target "within meters" on earth using not-quite-nuclear conventional weapons (think of the MOAB dropped on Afghanistan during the final years of US occupation)

Currently, one of the biggest and most important enemies of marxism is ideological postmodernism. This new wave of ideological decay has covered itself with a cloak of supposed modernity and progress, and they even pretend to give the image that it is a product of the evolution of Marxism itself. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Even fascists enter into this line of argument, mistakenly calling it "cultural marxism" (in the last years the term "woke" has also gained track). According to them, a conspiracy has been launched to destroy Western culture, and this would be the implementation of this "cultural Marxism", manifesting itself as the dictatorship of political correctness, the control of the media and educational institutions, promoting through them pessimism, liberalism, and the degeneration of society.

Looking at their description of "cultural Marxism," one can see that Marxism has nothing to do with it; in fact, it is antithetical. Marxism seeks to transform society, to end capitalism, and to bring humanity to a higher, more evolved stage. However, postmodernists (in all their variants) only patch up the system, advocating for supposed partial struggles that, when used by them, serve as a brake, not a pedal for advancing society. Like fascists, they do the dirty work for capitalists. They distort Marxism, achieving disunity and the absolute disorganization of workers, leaving them at the mercy of exploitation in a decadent, putrid, and degenerate society. Thus, fascists should find another name to define the postmodernist movement that defends the system, since, as fellow travelers, both fascists and postmodernists have the same interest in maintaining the hegemony of capital.

Fascists pin the beginning of this movement on the need of the left to destroy everything Western in order to achieve revolution, since they failed to lift up all of Europe in 1917. Therefore, work focused on this need would begin in 1930. It would begin with the Frankfurt School and supposedly develop to this day. Although they are right that it began with the Frankfurt School in 1930 based on misunderstood ideas of Antonio Gramsci, we must analyze the material conditions that led to this, since on this point they are clearly mistaken.

In 1930, the labor movement was stronger than ever, especially in Europe. The USSR had consolidated; through the Comintern and its sections, it had more capacity than ever. Therefore, was it impossibPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Our hands are full with work in the struggle against executioner culture. Far too many hymns have been sung in praise of the noble gallows of the so-called European continent.
We gnash our teeth behind the iron bars of a plague-ridden freedom. We’ve had enough of the mud of smuggled culture and stolen civilization. Enough!
We howl from the ancient cradle of culture. We, from the Balkans, howl: anti-culture!… anti-Europe!…

Madam Europe! We spit at your foul tongue and your ulcered, decaying soles. We hurl the bombs of our songs into your deformed European skies. We aim the cannons of our new ideas at the zenith of your silken bourgeoisie. At the zenith—not at the imaginary navel of God, the sole symbol of all European geniuses.

We curse culture with all our might—don’t we!? After all, the fish rots from the head—and the head is the stinking shark called Europe! That’s why, in the name of barbarian purity and primal barbarian love, we want to tear the mask off all the lies of savage humanism. We no longer want to be hypocritical Christians. Criminal Christianity is a delusion in the blood, guzzled for centuries by idiots and crawlers. Christ was great only as a man-sufferer. As a thinker, Christ was a plagiarist. What, then, can be said of his followers, those hired servants of every bourgeoisie?

Europe has outlived our youth—which it violently stole—and turned us, half-alive, into scattered graves. Europe, which rapes our minds, has imprisoned our bright intellects with its pornographic culture. And over the graves of our hajduk ancestors, it shamelessly lifts its skirt above the waist—over the graves of noble barbarians, Europe dances jazz, foxtrot, and shimmy.

We have come a long and arduous way through bitter struggle: from cultural individualism to barbarian collectivism. We, the Zenitist hajduks, are in the jungle of culture and komite in the wilderness of civilization—fighting for a new barbarian era of life! Everything else is a carnival of European paralysis and politics. Everything else is the trash of European literature in art. Everything else is the romanticism of syphilis-culturePost too long.

With Trumps tariffs being in the news these last few months, I've been asking myself: are there any benefits of Economic Protectionism? Libs tell us that they're nearly always bad, but is it true? Or does protectionism bring benefits economically?

How were sakaists wrong? Where do you even start with the reeducation of the white proletariat if a revolution succeeded right now, the internet is dominated by think tanks that push the white genocide myth, there were like 5 mass shooting cases the past couple of months where chuddies killed their classmates, insulting a black kid nets you $1 million bucks and its gonna get worse from here on out.

You can deny idpol all you want, but when brown people fear for their lives then they will react and defend themselves, and some anti-idpol leftist isn't converting those people over to their side with constant fence sitting when white people fantasize about a world wide genocide.

Or will the western left continue to huff their farts, while the fascist machine sends some more people to el salvador and bombs more palestinian children?

>They're cracking down on Nobodies
>They're killing Nobodies
>The war in Who Cares
>Years of lead again Nowhere
>The killing of A Nobody
>Protests (Read Activism by Amadeo Bordiga)
>They're burning Whatever
>Multiple Assassination Attempts on Whoever (as if the capitalist mode of production relies on one person)
Etc.
None of this shit matters, nothing real is happening for real. None of this shit even slightly matters. We're all gonna die the same way we lived. The real movement knows what nobody else does, its that we live in a period where shit happens but doesn't matter.
Its not a turning point of the century, the communists are too few and between, the pseuds are out there making a scare but all the real ones know that this shit doesn't matter. The US is still standing, China isn't bending and Russia's the same as before. More genocides and more draconian laws but nothing will come to a pause, because the people out there are too stupid to care and have lacked class consciousness since ages ago.
Nothing really matters and nothing is happening. If something had happened we'd all be right there and be able to go nowhere because the real movement is against the present state of affairs.

The presidential elections in Poland are coming soon, which means that it's time for me to bitch about this place (or more exactly the people that reside in it, which science still has not fully been able to describe the behaviorism of) again.

Of course, the Poles, being a classified reaKKKtionary group will cast their votes for the candidate that they (wrongly) believe is the right one, and while most likely the uninspired liberal Trzaskowski will win, this election also sees (so far) a rise in the popularity of a right wing agent of Satan candidate Mentzen (his name is German - that already is an ill omen)

I guess people deciding to caste their vote for the KKKlandidate from KKKonfederacja is bad enough, but currently he has 3rd place in most polls (which are a shit source of info, at least in Poland, but his supporters are loud at least). Like his memes say, he might actually have a higher chance of beating PO's Trzaskowski if he gets to the 2nd turn (which he likely won't). Of course the postulates are the same old rightoid spiel - low taxes, privatize stuff, shit that would never help any common prole (which is funny because common cis male proles are his biggest electorates, followed by teenagers and young adults with delusions of grandeur and entrepreneurial success)

In true Polish fashion there is no real good candidate, maybe Razem's Zandberg who actually has leftist postulates, criticized Israel (uncommon among Polish politics even though the population is like 80% anti-Israel at least), ran the pre-www Polish section of the Marxist Internet Archive as a teenager. But then, Razem is a socdem party through and through - unless Zandberg somehow gets elected and randomly brings back the Polish People's Republic.
His biggest supporters are actually among academic young adults, most of studentoid friends of mine actually vote for him.

Sometimes I wonder what CIA programming Poles went through to just go "jezu komunis" at any leftist postulate and causes them to react towards nazism (speaking of - plenty more nazi stickers around my place recently, being Polish and a nazi has to be a new suicide cult)

tl;dr the Poles have had it too good for long enough.

The Frankfurt School refracted Gramsci’s materialist theory of hegemony through the lens of Freudian psychoanalysis, Weberian cultural pessimism, and idealism, effectively mutating it into a bourgeois theory of subjectivity rather than a tool of working class revolution.

Hegemony is not just cultural dominance or consent, it’s the means by which the ruling class stabilizes its rule through a combination of coercion and consent. It is rooted in material social relations, especially those between the base (economy) and the superstructure (institutions, ideology, culture). Gramsci believed organic intellectuals of the proletariat could construct a counterhegemonic bloc, capable of transforming the state and society. Regardless of your stance on this view (I personally don't even like Gramsci), instead of building on Gramsci’s materialist framework, thinkers like Adorno, Horkheimer, and later Marcuse, recentered hegemony around mass psychology and alienation (drawing heavily from Freud rather than Marx), framed culture as a site of despair rather than a terrain of struggle (see shit like "The Culture Industry"), treated the working class as passive consumers of ideology rather than active agents, moved the critique from economic structures to academic shit like "rationality," "instrumentality," and "false needs". This flattened hegemony into a totalizing force of domination, where resistance is nearly impossible and mass culture is always regressive.

The Frankfurt School’s pessimistic, psychoanalytically-infused marxism domesticated Gramsci, turning a strategic theory of proletarian advance into a fatalistic theory of cultural rot. This led to even further academic detachment from revolutionary politics, moralist critiques of culture (music, film, advertising) with little class analysis and the foundation for much of radlibbery which fixates on subjectivity, identity, language, and desire while neglecting the material mode of production. In effect, it helped divorce marxism from its historical and class-based roots.
