/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Talk about job/career advice and other related stuff from a leftist perspective. EX: How to get a job, promotion, skill, switch companies, resume, life hacks, etc.

It's a tendency among some people on the left to explain chinlet behaviour with some really vomit-inducing reasoning. At best, they claim that they've have been tricked into the alt-right pipeline and, at worst, they even shed tears for them saying they're the victims of a cruel system. I, on the other hand, would like to argue that the psychosis of chinlets isn't a result of being "radicalized" by some evil entity, but a very predictable reaction seen among petite-bourgeois/lumpen deadbeats around the world that just so happens to serve their best interests.

At the very core of their ideology, there lie two demands that stand out the most. Namely, multi-generational households and strict in-group endogamy (racial, caste based, religious etc.). Both of these things ensure the accumulation of wealth for a parasitic, reactionary class. The best example of this that I have seen is here in India. Our very strict social norms pertaining to marriage, family and the role of women in society have created a class of freeloaders. Men who don't work because they live with their parents and accrue rent on the lands they inherit from them, while they treat their wives (who wouldn't have married them if it weren't for strict endogamy and arranged marriages) like brooding mares, slaves and dowry bags. It's a pathetic existence, but they're shameless and they don't care. It gets worse if they somehow get a job, because then the dowry goes up by a lot, especially if it is a government job because then they can leech off even more through bribes. Any woman who gets fed up by this and elopes is hunted down by her family and honor-killed. chinlets understand the power dynamics at play here; they're smelly nerds who have lived cushy lives and have turned reactionary the moment they've faced the slightest adversity. They know their class interests and I'm tired of cringeworthy libshits trying to argue that they don't.

TL;DR, chinlets behave the way they do because of their material class interests, not because they've been "radicalized". They demand strict endogamy and family relations because that allows them to inherit wealth and accumulate rent while being a NEET.

The older I get, the more I realize how based Khrushchev was.
>Oversaw the peak of Soviet prosperity
>Oversaw the growth of the socialist camp to its greatest extent
>Put down counter-revolutionaries
>Brought humanity into space
>Made Kennedy shit himself
What's not to love? Has there ever been a Soviet premier as successful?

Why has CPUSA been so mythologized in the past two years when they were a massive failure and sucked even in their “good days?”

American communists tried to follow the Bolshevik strategy and failed. They didn’t originally give a shit about Black people either, they only adopted the Black Belt thesis because Stalin told them to. They were way too close to the Comintern and that bit them in the ass later on. Foster was power-hungry and mad because his steel strike failed while Browder was a clout demon. The whole thing was a mess from the start. I’m kind of relieved the feds took them down.

How exactly would you define Trotskyism? How exactly would you summerise it's key differences from other Left wing political positions?

From my understanding most people here are Marxist-Leninsts, and even those who aren't certainly don't seem to look favourably at Trotsky.
So in your view what was wrong with Trotsky's ideas, and with the modern Trotskyists?

Why do most western (especially Anglo) countries have a severe housing shortage? Is it because of capitalism? How would socialism solve the "housing crisis"?

Did Falangists and National Syndicalists switch allegiance to the Republicans following Franco's control of the JONS labor union?
>>I have encountered Spanish Flangeits and National Syndicalists who dislike Franco and support Marxism-Leninism.
- Some of these individuals have read Marx and Lenin and believe that ideologically loyal members of the JONS joined the Republicans to protest Franco's takeover of the Union.

>>the only case I have found of this being true was Ramiro Ledesma Ramos who was later shot by the CNT apart from that can't find any other sources so I am here to ask you anons if you can find any other sources of this happening.
<<also, I had to read their Retraded theory ew.

Racism is usually explained away in Marxist circles as false consciousness or whatever, but how does that explain large, catastrophic historical events that seemingly transcended economics, like the Holocaust, Jim Crow and Apartheid laws, disproportionate police brutality, etc.?

QTDDTOT - Questions that don't need their own thread. The last one died, so here post your questions here.

I'll start, why is a centralized authority important to achieving communism and why is this seen a positive aspect.

Is Michael Parenti a leftist worth reading or is there someone who does what he does better? I've heard people saying there are better Marxist historians but they don't seem to ever cite any. If I should bother whit him which works are best?
