you bumped a ten day old thread for this?

These people don’t do much thinking in the first place. If you were to ask them the details of how the world domination organization of the Jews operates they would just call you a Jew. Something something movies and pornography. Something something Israel (Jews being racist nationalist). Like Mao, reactionaries believe that reading too many books is harmful and books are all written by Jews anyway. Actually everything is controlled by Jews, except Hitler. No I won’t explain how, it just is. Did you know Hitler actually liked Jews and actually didn’t kill them or harm them in any way? Hitler was actually a good guy but evil Jewish Bolsheviks were jealous of him and that’s why they gassed all the Jews in Eastern Europe and blamed it on Hitler. Also gas chambers never existed.

they think this because the BUND used to be the standard before ZIONISM

>but he pacifically said that religion was the religion was opened to the masses
did you mean to say "but he specifically said that religion was the opium of the masses"???
>Marx was a Jew
depends on what you mean by that. His parents converted to protestantism. His grandfather was a rabbi in Trier, and came from a long line of rabbis, but he never had any attachment to the synagogue, was raised Christian, and became Atheist by his college years. If you mean he was ethnically different than most Germans? Yes, certainly. He might have even had near eastern ancestry since written descriptions say he was significantly darker and had courser hair than most Germans. His hair was also black rather than brown or blonde, and his eyes were brown. In that respect it is funny how similar he is to Lassalle, whom he despised, in secret, while sometimes also working with him.

>>2754053
and also because of the bund, and the cross pollination between the bund and the bolsheviks during the early RSDLP days, before the split, and because of the reactionary antisemitism of the black hundreds, the tsarist government, the pogromists, etc, there ended up being a lot of jewish people in the bolshevik ranks, like trotsky, sverdlov, zinoviev, kamenev. by the 40s however the CPSU had fewer jews per capita than during the lenin days. think of jews in the russian empire as having a similar civil rights movement and resistance to lynch mobs as african americans did in the USA. it's not perfectly analogous but it's close enough.

>>2753938
Antisemitism isn't really about "the Jews" as much as it is a response to complexity and contradiction. If you look at an antisemite's imagined idealized society it's really a utopian, crunchy, hippie sort of thing where everyone has a role and nothing is internally divided. Instead of a big government bureaucracy with corporations who are sticking needles in people's arms (vaccines) you just have people in their local communities bartering local "healthy" organic produce. Anything deemed to corrupt or mess up that unity and "one-ness" is deemed to come from the outside and that is "Jewish." The Jews are seen as like a biological, alien agent that has messed up a harmonious organic unity, and like you put it, "corrupted" people.

This can seem radical and anti-capitalistic, but Marxism operates with basically completely opposite assumptions about how society works, and really it's about how things evolve and change based on their internal contradictions (or struggles, tensions within a thing) as the primary source of a thing's own development and self-movement. Like you're a certain age and you're older than you were when you were a child, and one day you will get old, and that's a process of change throughout your life based on internal characteristics of your biology. It's a process of both growth and decay. You might be able to speed up or slow down aspects of aging due to external factors, like you can shorten your lifespan various ways, or "age" faster because of certain habits, but you can also get with somebody and reproduce yourself, but eventually you're going to die as well, that's built into what a biological organism is.

At any rate, capitalism is also internally contradictory. It needs to expand and constantly find new growth opportunities, but that same process also leads to economic crises. People lose their jobs which become obsolete as new technologies enter the scene which increase economic productivity but also results in higher unemployment which means less purchasing power to buy a surplus of goods until there's a big economic crash that wipes out a bunch of industries (see how this is contradictory). This isn't a glitch or a a conspiracy it's how capitalism gets into a hole and climbs back out of it. Economic production is carried out in a large-scale, basically cooperative way with large firms andPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The central problem is not one of ideology or will, but of space of social reproduction in relation to class struggle. I once spoke with someone who had traveled abroad and spent time with militant Marxist-Leninist formations in the Third World, Irish republicans in Belfast, Kurdish movements in Turkey, and anarchist collectives in Athens Greece. What struck them, what they emphasized was that these militants do not simply act, then return to their individual lives within capitalism. They live together. Every day. In squats, in cadres, in shared housing where the boundary between organizing and existing dissolves. They see one another constantly, and in that proximity they build something the American left has largely lost; genuine comradery, every day structures of mutual survival, and a territorial claim on the spaces they inhabit.

What passes for movement life in the United States, by contrast, tends toward the episodic. People gather for actions. They disperse to isolated apartments, our precarious work schedules, our atomized existences. Mutual aid becomes charity , a distribution event rather than a mode of existence. We do not claim neighborhoods. We do not live with one another as a unit. We do not transform the everyday into the terrain of struggle. The changing material conditions of modern American life, the housing market, the geography of sprawl, the fragmentation of the working class conspire against the kind of dense, sustained, face-to-face organizing that characterizes movements elsewhere. But we must also name our own failure to resist these conditions, to carve out space where there is no space, to build the kind of collective life that makes daily revolutionary practice possible. The problem is not that we lack the will. It is that we lack the architecture, the squats, the cadres, the shared kitchens, the rooms where the struggle continuously engages in spheres of social reproduction. Squatting as a culture exists, and even thrives in the USA, but like everything else, it is overall hyper individualistic and isolated, centered around addiction too.

I will not claim that business unions are without failures. Their histories are entangled with bureaucracy, with compromises that have often sold out rank-and-file militancy.

>This, by the way, is not an anarchist tactic. It is a guerrilla warfare tactic. Guerrilla warfare has always included rioting and rowdy demonstrations as part of its repertoire as well.
That makes sense. In this specific case (not to generalize it), I don't think it made sense though, because it was just an anarchist group acting completely on its own. It's a different situation in Northern Ireland where you could be directly embedded in a whole community in a state of unrest.

>>2749720
>I would almost certainly guess you are … in the South
That's a bingo. But yeah I want to stress that it's a specific local condition (or pathology).

>>2749929

I guessed easily, because the dynamic you describe is a recurring pattern in the American militant left in regions with smaller cities, more sprawl and wide open space. The transplantation of tactics honed in tightly condensed urban terrains where populations already exist in sustained, often violent antagonism with state security into landscapes that lack those material preconditions. This is just a failure to read the concrete conditions of struggle. When organizers attempt to import methods developed in Belfast, Athens, Oakland, Seattle, Philadelphia, LA, Boston, or the barrios of Latin America without first assessing whether the local geography, density, and social composition support them, the result is not militancy but theater, with a script that makes you cringe.

That said, the United States is not uniformly suburban sprawl. There are cities, some in the Rust Belt, some in the former industrial Northeast which is modeled after European cities, some in the colonias of the Southwest. These are usually places whose physically visible racial and class divisions rival those of Belfast at its peak. They contain condensed neighborhoods where youth, adults, and entire communities exist in explicit, generational opposition to policing, alongside equally entrenched enclaves of support for the carceral state. In such places, the conditions for sustained confrontational politics exist; density, historical memory of state violence, a recent history of resistance, and existing networks of mutual aid, and a population that already understands the state as adversary. In these cities, the tactics developed elsewhere, mobility, evasion, territorial defense of blocks, become not imported affectations but viable responses to a real terrain of struggle. The question is not whether such tactics can work in the United States, but whether the left has the patience to identify where they can, and the discipline to realize where they do not.

For one part, this
>>2742803
For the other part, they also did a little „research“ about the psychology of Marxists and Anarchists since then. Marxists tend to be in their authoritarian left spectre, especially MLs, meanwhile Anarchists are the deepest in the antiauthoritarian left spectre possible.
According to whatever „science“ there is behind it, authoritarians are about 10 times less likely to be active in some way than antiauthoritarians. So if we assume that Anarchists are 10 times more violent against the capitalist state, they probably did a little math and thought 1000 Anarchists can do as much damage as 100.000 MLs.

>>2750637

can you find the source on this?? In my time in CPUSA, any time a Marxist wanted to do anything communist or against capitalism, they called it Anarchism. They even called critiques of the police Anarchism. They were very militant about being anti-militancy within anti-capitalist perspectives.

>>2747173
no.
the fact that neither you, nor anyone you know, has suffered any consequence is proof enough that it was harmless to you.

but in more detail: only two of the vaccines ever had a proven link to an increased risk of heart attacks or strokes (via blood clots) in 2 out of every 100,000 people in the worst case, and 1 out of 500,000 people in the best case. odds are, that's not you. but your odds get better still: because this risk only appeared for younger people, most countries didn't give those vaccines to under 60s. so you probably didn't get that one. (if you got pfizer, for example, you're clear) moreover, if you did get one of those vaccines, and if you are one of those improbably unlucky people, then the odds are still that you would have survived. any adverse reaction would have happened a few weeks after you got the shot, not years later.

tl;dr you're talking about a vanishingly small risk that would, if it was going to get you, have got you by now, and which - even if it applied to you - probably wouldn't have killed you, just hospitalized you. you can chill.

>>2747173

>>2747173
at the very start when it was a new tech that had never been massively used the question could be had, now its obvious its safe
the problems had much more to do with how the whole process was made to enrich the pharma companies as much as possible rather than doing the most effective thing (shit had to be stored at -60 which made it very harsh logistically especially on poor countries, they didnt waive the patents, the deals were made in the backrooms with lot of obvious corruption etc)

>>2747173
Vaxing in general is moderatly safe, because years of development and tests, but many still have lots of side effects. We know the side effects, so we can think about it and then choose to take it or not. The covid vax lacked all these years of development, long term testing and hat lots of side effects. That's the problem. I got my shots too and I reget it.

Built on sand: Trump’s war shatters Labour’s hopes of economic ‘stability’
To the backdrop of bombs raining down in the Middle East, Chancellor Rachel Reeves recently reassured Parliament that “stability” is the “single most important precondition for economic growth”. This is not good news for the British ruling class. Due to long-term underinvestment in infrastructure and industry, British capitalism is not in a strong position to weather this storm. Even before the war in Iran, the UK economy failed to grow at all in January. And things are only set to get worse for British capitalism and its hapless helmsmen.

There Was No “Right Way” to Attack Iran
When Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe went before Congress last week, they were grilled about the war in Iran. The nature of the grilling was revealing, as many Democrats seem focused on impropriety or strategic errors in warmaking rather than the warmaking itself. Some Democrats pressed Gabbard and Ratcliffe about whether Iran actually posed a meaningful threat to the United States. Gabbard, in particular, was evasive on this point. She’s repeatedly said that it did not, but now she’s committed to staying in Donald Trump’s good graces, no matter the hypocrisy and humiliation involved. Other Democrats, though, only seemed to be concerned with giving the administration a hard time about how they’re waging the war. Did Trump understand that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz? If not, why not? Did he understand how extensive Iran’s retaliation might be against American assets in the Gulf monarchies? If not, why not? Did Gabbard and Ratcliffe not brief him appropriately, or did Trump just not listen? At times, the grilling seemed about as high-stakes as mid-level managers being dressed down in a quarterly performance review, where the company’s goals are taken for granted and only management’s competence is in question.
