The moron's presumably a leftist"com", not a leftcom (Leninist-Bordigist)

>le leftcom position is to support israel
You disgusting, virulently turd-wordlists liars need to read a fucking book. The Zionist entity is engaging in an ethnic cleansing campaign and therefore they must be opposed, full stop.

However, this doesn't magically make class relations within Israel and Palestine disappear.

Ah right. Capitalism is actually not at fault. Jews are just genetically predisposed to mass murder.

Hello!

I am a teaching assistant who provides emotional and academic support to students with special needs at a public (government) school. I joined this job in part for its capacity to provide me access to the American labor movement such that I can assess its shortcomings. In what felt almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy, I would soon discover one almost immediately after becoming a union representative at my school.

Essentially, myself and my co-workers were duped into voting for a union leadership and city council that had put forward a bill offering a $10,000 bonus (with provided funding sources through the legislation. Union leadership insisted it was a no-brainer and 47/50 city council members were outright sponsors on the bill.

Tl;Dr: in spite of what was OSTENSIBLY overwhelming support to the powers that be, the political will of both the politicians and leadership dissipated as soon as election day had come and past. Like a fool, I said as much to my co-workers and have let them down tremendously. I have to make this up.

As an American public sector employee, it is illegal for our union to hold strikes and Americans do not have the political will for a wildcat. After some analysis, I have concluded that the most productive avenue I can take is to begin a hunger strike on the last day of school for students demanding that the bill be brought to a vote. I am fairly sure at this point that it is the only course of action viable to affect change for my co-workers, who are in desperate need of this additional income due to cost of living increases in spite of their living in the epicenter of the imperial core.

Do you, anon, think this is the right course of action for myself at this time? If so, do you have any tips for how I can execute this without literally killing myself? Can answer any clarifying questions you might have.

The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

Khrushchevite/Dengist Social Fascist/Social Imperialist Capitalist Roader Revisionist Marcyite Campists like yourself fall hook, line, and sinker for the Anti-Communist Propaganda of the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State that spreads lies that the CPI (Maoist) has “surrendered” when in reality the CPI (Maoist) has already chosen a new General-Secretary named Thippiri Tirupathi to replace Nambala Keshava Rao who died on May 21 2025 valiantly fighting the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State, and the Naxalite Maoist PPW in India continues in the Strategic Defensive Stage (the First Stage of Maoist PPW) where the Bourgeois forces have the upper hand and the Maoists are confined to a Low-level Insurgency, but it will advance to the Strategic Stalemate Stage (The Second Stage of Maoist PPW) once World War III breaks out and the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State is bogged down fighting China and Pakistan which will allow the Naxalites to start seizing control of large sections of Rural India (they will probably even receive Military aid from China), and it will finally reach the Strategic Offensive Stage (The Third and Final Stage of Maoist PPW) in which the Maoists overwhelm the Bourgeois forces when World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War (including a Nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan) that will collapse the Hindutva Fascist Bourgeois Comprador Indian State (along with completely destroying the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR) and allow the Naxalites to take over all of India and establish a Federation of Socialist States in South Asia, including a Hindi SFSR, Kashmiri SSR, Punjabi SSR, Sindhi SSR, Gujarati SSR, Marathi SSR, Konkani SSR, Kannada SSR, Malayalam SSR, Tamil SSR, Telugu SSR, Odia SSR, Bengali SSR, Nepali SSR, Assamese SSR, Nissi SSR, Mizo SSR, Manipuri SSR, Ao SSR, and Khasi SSR, which will all join the Global USSR (All of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are shown in the Map I posted) that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

>Forderung den "Staat" Isr*el abzuschaffen
Und was soll so eine Forderung bedeuten? Dass die Juden alle weg müssten aus der Region fordert nicht mal mehr die Hamas. Also wenn es das nicht sein soll, was sind dann diese Worte außer einer ästhetischen Präferenz wie Logo und Name vom zukünftigen Staat in der Gegend darstellen sollen. Und das ist Kulturkampfgedöns wie meterlange Essays schreiben darüber, dass in den Videospielen heutzutage die Möpse zu groß oder klein sind (würde eher sowas lesen tbh).

wie wär's wenn es einen staat gäbe, der sich nicht auf den biblischen Judenstaat beruft? Zwangsläufig wird dieser in der moderne biblische ethnonationale theokratie gelesen und als solche implementiert, angefangen mit der verfassung der klipp und klar festlegt dass israel das land der Juden ist. Wie wäre es "atheistsische Juden" (ein oxymoron) nicht als Juden zu bezeichnen weil das den modernen chauvinistischen Mythos von der Existenz der Ethnien beinhaltet? Die zionistische Entität ist voller "atheistsischer Juden", ebenso wie die Ränge der jüdischen Stimme. Es gibt kein jüdisches Volk dementsprechend gibt es auch keinen Staat für Juden. Es darf generell keine Staaten für eine Völkergruppe geben.

he's completely BTFO'ed all arguments against Marx's Law of Value, he's empirically proven that Economic Planning is 100% possible with current data sets and modern computation, he's shown that current economic theory is based on complete woo that doesn't hold up to basic mathematical scrutiny or even basic logic.
The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there. Which I think why as Socialists, we should try present his arguments, theories and evidence in a far more presentable, digestable, ELI5 fashion for Normies.
What made classic Leftypol good is that we were able to present Socialist content for normies that would be shared by Zoomers and such. So I think a good project for us on this board, would be to work How the World Works (https://libgen.rocks/ads.php?md5=0f775aef8cbe24a8978e115669bfcdfb) into a decent Youtube series that explains how we can build a new economic order in the not too distant future.

Yes, Britain has a weird class-based view of homosexuality. a lot of the homophobic humor in private eye (unofficial journal of politics the newspaper won't touch but that some need to know), for example, is based on this ruling-class view that thought it's all rather immature to still want to fuck other men as a homosexual man because that's something you're supposed to get out of your system at eton boy's school.
the precise thing with transphobia is harder to explain (and the american element of getting mad at drag queens is hilarious from the nation that invented panto), but it almost certainly has a similar dynamic.

>but how do you plan to fit this model without legitimizing it as better than capitalism
I don't share your interest in avoiding the claim that communism is better.
>some form of self-management socialism with indicative planning seems more aligned with marx's original thought.
Planning is centralized by definition. Whenever Marx and Engels talk about labor-time vouchers as something that might work in socialism, they always assume supply matching demand, which requires a lot of planning ahead. Cockshott and Cottrell OTOH allow for imbalances in supply and demand and modifying prices of consumer items to cope with that, so it is Cockshott and Cottrell who assume something less rigid. We can say Marx and Engels did conceive of socialism as having one big plan because… https://archive.is/Lx8TF ctrl-f French version of Capital

THE IDEAL WINNING 2028 DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

As a supporter of the Immortal Science of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, the Highest Stage of Marxism, I obviously realize that the Democrats are a Controlled Opposition Party who exist to keep the Workers and Oppressed Nations/Internal Colonies of Naw Afrika, Aztlan, the First Nations, inside the U$ corralled and controlled, while the dominant ruling Crypto-Fascist Christian Zionist Nationalist MAGAtard Republicans transform the U$ into a Full-Blown Fascist Police State, which combined with the fact that the U$ is a Prison house of Nations, which treats the Black/New Afrikan, Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo, and First Nations/Native American population like they are not U$ citizens (Trump ending birthright citizenship will probably transform this from a De facto to a De jure reality by officially stripping citizenship from most of these populations), with them essentially acting as a permanent domestic underclass with essentially no rights that are exploited for cheap labor and disproportionately suffer from Mass incarceration and police brutality, with their neighborhoods essentially under De facto occupation by militarized police, as New Afrika, Aztlan, and the First Nations, are Internal Colonies/Oppressed Nations inside of the U$, and their National Liberation should be the number one goal of U$ Communists as stipulated by Lenin’s principle of Self-Determination for all Oppressed Nations in their own SSR, which will happen once World War III escalates into a Global Nuclear War that will destroy the entire Global Capitalist-Imperialist System, thus allowing for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR (all of the SSRs and SFSRs of the future Global USSR are pictured in the map I posted, with the former U$ Balkanized into a New African SSR that includes the Black/New Afrikan majority counties of the Black Belt, a Hispano-American SFSR that includes the Hispanic/Chicano/Mestizo majority counties in the U$ Southwest, along with the rest of the Spanish-speaking Multiracial regions of the Americas, while the White Settler majority regions in the rest of the former U$ becomes part of the Anglo-American SFSR, which also includes the English-speaking provinces of Canada, as Quebec will become its own SSR, with all the Native American reservations becoming ASSRs) to Place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Bump, I cannot let this Thread die yet, because it presents a hopeful vision of “The Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” rooted in the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism, which seeks to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism without a Global Nuclear War (The Social Democratic Imperial Core will peacefully merge with the Maoist Periphery/Semi-Periphery to create a Global USSR), though I sadly feel that it is very important to note that the Social Democratic/UBI/4th Industrial Revolution/AI/Multipolar Shining Path to Communism which provides the Theoretical basis for “The Ideal Winning 2028 Democratic Platform” detailed in this thread, is becoming less likely by the day, with the fact that Trump is openly talking about canceling the Midterms and seeking a Third Term showing that the U$ is getting very close to suspending Bourgeois Liberal Democracy, which means that the Global Nuclear War Shining Path to Communism is very close to being the only viable option for a World Maoist PPW to create a Global USSR that will place the Workers and Oppressed Nations of the World on the Shining Path to Communism, ✊😜🇨🇳🇰🇵🇨🇺🇵🇸🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🚀☢️!

Soil erosion is harmful for long term crop yields. Capital is simply unable to account for such long terms so for competition reasons farmers have to use artificial fertiliser anyway. A long term phaseout plan where we eat the short term loses for better yields is going to be necessary at some point if we don’t want all our farmland to die



 

Communism is neither related to "Leftism" nor "Socialism", in fact these reformist movements are antithetical to Communism.

Before some illiterate dumbass takes this as lazy "sectarianism", this was the key issue the Communist International meant to settle. In fact the entire Comintern was born out of the contradiction between the revolutionary content of Marxism and reformist nature of leftism, the murder of German communists at the hands of their left-socialist "comrades" cemented this seemingly forever (clearly not)

>In this connection all those parties that wish to belong to the Communist International must change their names. Every party that wishes to belong to the Communist International must bear the name Communist Party of this or that country (Section of the Communist International). The question of the name is not formal, but a highly political question of great importance. The Communist International has declared war on the whole bourgeois world and on all yellow social-democratic parties. The difference between the communist parties and the old official 'social-democratic' or 'socialist' parties that have betrayed the banner of the working class must be clear to every simple toiler.

<Twenty-one Conditions, Comintern 1919

Going further back to Marx, this distinction was evident (hence the "communist" manifesto)

>in 1847, socialism was a middle-class movement, communism a working-class movement. Socialism was, on the Continent at least, “respectable”; communism was the very opposite. And as our notion, from the very beginning, was that “the emancipation of the workers must be the act of the working class itself,” there could be no doubt as to which of the two names we must take. Moreover, we have, ever since, been far from repudiating it.

<Preface to the 1872 German Edition

>But why were the terms later used exchangeably by the early days of Lenin?

Simply, they were not. By "social democrats" Lenin was strictly referring to the membership of the SPD and its analogous party in Russia who upheld the doctrine of Marx at the time until the German SPD broke away from it.

I still have my response saved, together with a snippet from OP. Enjoy! Mostly Engels. (Another person had something by Lenin, but I didn't save that.)

>Protip: not ONCE did Marx, Engels, Lenin, (etc.) called themselves >lefty< or "left" or "leftish" or what fucking ever. This is a documented fact, FYI. You can literally DL M/E/L (or Mao, Stalin, Hoxha, etc.) texts in total and ctrl+f your way through it (like I did), and it still remains a fact.

<Endlich deckten wir den parlamentarischen Kretinismus (wie Marx es nannte) der verschiedenen sogenannten Nationalversammlungen auf. Diese Herren hatten sich alle Machtmittel entschlüpfen lassen, sie zum Teil freiwillig wieder den Regierungen überliefert. Neben neugestärkten, reaktionären Regierungen standen in Berlin wie in Frankfurt machtlose Versammlungen, die trotzdem sich einbildeten, ihre ohnmächtigen Beschlüsse würden die Welt aus den Angeln heben. Bis auf die äußerste Linke herrschte diese kretinhafte Selbsttäuschung. Wir riefen ihnen zu: ihr parlamentarischer Sieg werde zusammenfallen mit ihrer wirklichen Niederlage.

If abolishing the state is impossible and undesirable then so is communism by definition and you're wasting your time caring about any of this shit. If it's possible and desirable in theory then there is a real debate to be had over the merits of how and when to go about it.
