That was me. I was basing it off of the views of Arno Mayer who himself sees fascism as counter-revolution in the era of mass politics. I think that this is a pretty decent definition for Marxists whether you follow Mayer in his analysis of the persistence of the old regime into the 20th Century or not.

That's a myth. The typical peasant worked from sun up to sun down every day. Some people have made it out like peasants didn't even have to work that much by confusing the feudal obligations of a serf with how much they had to work. Serfs were expected to farm their lords fields and perform a number of other tasks such as maintenance of infrastructure and basically just doing the lord's chores for free as an obligation to him. The time they had "off" they were working for themselves on their own land and in their own homes.

All societal systems that have existed since humans became sedentary roughly 10,000 years ago are fascist. Before that, for nearly 95 percent of our species’ 300,000-year history, humanity lived in hunter-gatherer or forager societies. These communities had no permanent hierarchies, no inherited positions of power, no state institutions and no ruling class at all: decisions were made through collective consensus, and people with particular experience or skill held only temporary authority rooted in mutual respect, never the power to coerce others. They were entirely classless and egalitarian, with land, tools and hunting grounds held as common property, food distributed according to need, and no exploitation of one group’s labour by another. There was no organised state violence, no standing armies and no large-scale warfare between communities; internal conflicts were resolved through mediation rather than repression. Gender relations were broadly equitable too, as women’s foraging work supplied 60 to 80 percent of most groups’ food supply, earning them equal social standing. Groups were small and flexible, usually made up of 20 to 50 related people. This form of organisation is known as primitive communism: the default way humans lived for almost all of our history, before sedentism gave rise to the fascist systems that have defined every society ever since.

completely ahistorical ragebait. They are class societies, they are not "fascist." Fascism is not simply when bad things happen. This is a completely incoherent theory of fascism and you'd do much better reading Dmitrov, Dutt, Togliatti or even Umberto Eco.

True, that is why they are called "primitive communism" by Marx, but they still had problems, namely, instability and material deprivation. But this does not support your conclusion:

>>2899948
and yet you bumped it after 18 days to say this instead of letting it die.

egalitarianism isn't as uncommon in post-neolithic society as people believe, even today there are small tribal societies in the world that don't really have formal hierarchies and bureaucratic governments and large-scale organized warfare. and not just people in africa walking around carrying clay pots on their heads, but right here in our own backyard, small loosely-organized tribes who live in the periphery in and around our mainstream industrial society - hillbillies living in rural appalachia, hippie freaks living in communes, homeless bums living in squatter camps, hoods and junkies living in the urban projects, rednecks and methheads living in trailer parks, mennonites and quakers and amish, mexican immigrant farmers who bought cheap barren land in idaho nobody wanted, indians living on tribal lands, etc. all of these small communities have their own systems of informal and often unspoken rules that people live by and social structure naturally emerges by people sort of falling into particular roles without really thinking about it.

also, authoritarianism can still arise even within very small social groups. i'm sure most of us have witnessed families or friend groups that function like dictatorships where one person is constantly the center of attention and everyone is always running around trying to please them and do what they say because they're domineering bullies or manipulative narcissists and everyone else is too scared or delusional or emotionally-exhausted to do anything about it. and we've all probably witnessed social structures emerging organically within friend groups or work/school colleagues where one person sort of becomes a de-facto leader or spokesperson in a particular situation without even trying to be, simply because they have some kind of expertise or charisma or initiative that the others do not have, and some people who find themselves in that position will feel weird and uncomfortable about it while others might revel in it and turn into egotistical assholes. all of it really just comes down to individual human psychology, every kind of social phenomenon grows from the bottom-up out of whatever goes in individual people's heads, you try to come up with some top-down design to restructure society and make it more fair or equitable or whatever, but individual human psychology eventually overrides it and turns it into something else.

IN HONOR OF LEADER ANTOUN SAADEH

The man who was martyred 77 years ago killed by an overall conspiracy was not an average person . He was the man who was inspired and had an insight , and who positioned himself from where he could secure the future of his people. He is among those who will not be satisfied by merely existing . His whole being and existence revolved around his people. His name is Antoun Saadeh called also the Leader , a title he earned with everything that goes with it . Not only he was fought and set up by the colonialist predators and their local clientele in the mid of the previous century, but after his martyrdom , all about him was obscured and camouflaged and even buried . He presented a real threat because people felt affinity with him and trusted him and were inspired by him . He was the man who lead the Renaissance proper to our area after WWI and WWII , when the region was meeting so many challenges that range from identity to independence . This was when the Ottoman Empire collapsed, and the colonialists were starting dividing the empire among themselves, and also creating the vicious state of israel , and planting it in the heart of the Arab world.

Leader Saadeh immediately felt the threat , and decided that the people of this area should claim what is theirs, and before they do this, they should know their identity and find out who they are and the common ground which they share or their natural belonging and natural habitat, and accordingly, claim what is theirs before they fall a prey to the conspiracies that seek to divide the area according to the colonial ambitions .. Religion can no more be a Reference thought leader Saadeh after the fall of the Ottoman Empire because the inhabitants of this area are multi cultural , multi religious and multi lingual , and there is need to define what a nation is in all its variety , and to defend this nation and its borders, and secure its sovereignty and unity and independence . It was an attempt at preventing that the identity of the people be lost for ever and an attempt at retrieving this identity .

The people should retrieve their identity – thought Saadeh- Greater Syria being the nation to which those belong , and it is located in what has been known as the Fertile Crescent , in the heart of the Arab World , being also an intrinsic part of this world .

On the topic of Rojava, here's an article by Troploin regarding the revolution called "Rojava: Reality & Rhetoric" published in 2015: https://www.troploin.fr/node/83

Either way, it is sad to see them go despite them not being socialist. I feel sad most for the martyrs who genuinely believed that Rojava was actually socialist or was moving towards socialism.

May it be a lesson for the socialist movement.

What is the source on this?
Also it talks about the returns to Afrin and Serê Kaniyê which is good but 1) Kurds are now minorities in these regions due to ethnic cleansing and 2) the YPG has no force there whereas Afrin was its stronghold previously. They are also outside of this "Shadow Rojava" as you could put it.

>>2900627
The returns are happening currently but there is a lot of problems, as in Afrin at least it is some of the most reactionary of the Damascus alliance that is holding these positions, moved their fighters into Kurdish homed, shootings and tensions have occured with the last returnees, ots of mass looting and destruction of the homes and crops from the reactionaries too, just out of spite.

Israeli lawmaker smashes Palestinian memorial in occupied West Bank
Zvi Sukkot, a member of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s Religious Zionism party, was filmed smashing the Palestinian Martyrs' Monument in the village of Madama, south of Nablus, with a sledgehammer. In a video posted to Facebook, Sukkot said the memorial commemorated two Palestinians who had killed Israelis and argued that it could not be allowed to remain. “We must take it down,” he said, adding that he wanted the memorial destroyed because children growing up in the village and passing it would be inspired to become “martyrs” themselves.

South African CP, Council of the Left constituted: Now we must organise
The inaugural meeting of the Council of the Left took place on Friday, 21 August 2026, at Birchwood Hotel, bringing together representatives of political organisations, trade unions, social movements, community organisations and other progressive formations that participated in the Conference of the Left held in May this year. The meeting formally constituted the Council of the Left and began the important task of translating the Declaration and Programme of Action of the Conference of the Left into organisation, campaigning and collective action. This inaugural Council meeting committed to unity in action, working-class organisation and an immediate programme of struggle focused on: Joining the ongoing mass campaign to reject and defeat the anti-poor Prevention of Illegal Evictions Act Amendment Bill, Defending the Expropriation Act against attacks from the DA, Afriforum, Die Vaderland Stigting and the Free Market Foundation through a combination of court action and mass mobilisation. Mobilising for the Equitable Access to Land Bill to become an effective law for land redistribution and the security of tenure. Using the coming Budget days to campaign for fiscal resources to meet basic needs and address the cost of living. Mobilisation for Parliament to debate and adopt a Cuba Solidarity Bill, together with continued material support for the people of Cuba.

I was thinking of making this thread ages ago, but I couldn't find the right words. I'm still not sure if I'm saying everything I want to here, but I figured at the very least this can create some interesting discussion.

I think there's a convergence right now between the Sorelian conception of political "myths" and the prominence of GenAI slop, especially on The Right. I'm sure most of you have noticed by now that Generative AI has been almost endemic to Right-Wing political movements, even while Data Centers in particular are still grossly unpopular. I don't believe this convergence is intentional, in fact I doubt that most on the political Right even know who Sorel was, but rather I believe the Right has intuited some of Sorel's work without actually reading it. Though entirely unintentional, the specter of Sorelianism has only become more relevant to modern political disputes.

To begin, let's first discuss what Sorel means by a "Myth". He asserts his thesis in his Magnum Opus, "Reflections on Violence" here:

>“In the course of these studies, I have established something so simple that I did not believe it had to be emphasized: men who participate in great social movements represent their immediate action in the form of images of battles assuring the triumph of their cause. I proposed calling these constructions myths, the knowledge of which is so important for the historian: the syndicalist general strike and Marx’s catastrophic revolution are myths. I have given as remarkable examples of myths those which were constructed by early Christianity, the Reformation, the French Revolution and by Mazzini’s followers. I wanted to show that it is not necessary to try to analyze such systems of images in the same way that one breaks down something into its elements; that they should be taken as a whole and as historical forces; that it is necessary above all to keep from comparing the accomplished facts with the images which men had adopted prior to action.”

<Georges Sorel, Reflections on Violence, Page 20, Cambridge Texts Edition

The emphasis on the word "images" is my own, as I feel that's directly relevant to the tidal wave of AI slop we see coming from The Right Wing today. Now I should mention that though Sorel uses the term "images" he dPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Step 2. Start killing other marxist-leninists
Step 3. Start killing the working class
Step 4. Sell out to liberalism and capitalism
Step 5.???
Step 6. Profit

Literally every marxist-leninist state has already either gone trough all these steps and reached the endgoal of communism that is the dissolution of the marxist-leninist state as marx (pbuh) predicted.
