Why are crippled homeless beggars, disabled and rich Mafia all lumped together as Lumpenproles?

Seems hella weird rich criminals being in that group according to Karl Marx.

>>2764312
because they are free minded and can't be used as a tool for le revolution

>>2764312
there's arguments that mafia would be more considered "lumpenbourgeoisie"
But the real answer is these groups don't organize because they have no real economic or political power, especially homeless beggars.



 

So what do you think are the coolest communist parties that never managed to take power? The Communist parties of India and Italy have pretty interesting culture. I rarely see a lot of theorists mentioned from these parties that never managed to come to power and great man worship is kind of sad to see from the left.

Unironically a Republican victory in the Spanish Civil War likely means no holocaust. France wouldn't have surrendered the way it did IRL if it could retreat into the South and towards Spain, Britain could have continued fighting the Nazis on land, and the Soviets would have had a fundamental desire to fight the nazis in 1939. Fuck Poland might have agreed to the Entente-Soviet pact preventing molotov rippentrop. Liberated Europe by 1943 without Yankkkee intervention.



 

Fuck this guy. I’m tired of seeing liberals and even “principled” leftists like Jacobin Mag prop him up as the greatest thing to happen to American leftism, like he’s sone kind of modern-Day William Z Foster.

In reality, Mamdani is a total fraud. He’s pandered to Zionists even before taking office. Then after taking office he’s sucked up to Chabad-Lubavitcher which is a satanic racist Jewish supremacist org with ties to the Russian mafia and Zionist entity. Why? He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa. I guess he thinks kosher feelings outweigh Palestinian lives. He hasn’t done anything he’s promised in making NYC a cheaper and easier place to live. And yet delusional leftists still love and support him.

If Mamdani was truly principled he’d make it illegal to be a Zio in NYC. Semd police to monitor all synagogues for promoting Zionism. Track donations to the IOF from Jewish orgs. Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity and all companies that do business with the Zionist entity. Get ICE to deport anyone with Zionist entity citizenship ( I hear there are a lot of them in Brooklyn and Queens). Ban AIPAC and all other pro-Zionist groups. Shut down businesses like Eichler’s which routinely sell Zionist products.

Mamdani ran on the basis of defying the Zionist Lobby so he needs to keep his promises.

<"Palestinians are neo-nazis, look at these screenshots of twitter posts"
Leftist "callout/cancel culture" has deputized them all as cops who are happy to help Zionist surveillance accomplish their psyops for free to smear the critics of Israel. Actually the DSA gets paid: they gain social capital for their branding as heroic 'anti-fascists' who bravely fight antisemitic tropes
Actual nazis are defined by their material behavior of denying food/water and healthcare. Idealists call Palestinians are nazis for their merely class conscious tweets about being 'goyim'. I imagine DSA radlibs in the 1960s also called The Black Panthers 'nazis' for daring to call themselves n*ggers, "how dare you use the word that your oppressors call you!!! This is an anti-white trope!

>>For your bloodthristy ilk, it's always about killing randos, 4D paranoia, and talking like Evangelical preachers

I'd say leftist insurrectionist types like third-worldists, natlibs, anarchists, maoists, etc. are closer to jihadists in their language and rhetoric. It's always speaking in terms of total enemies, total power, and waging endless struggle by any means against said enemies. There is no language of compromise, passivity, unless convenient and used for confusion of the enemy. The JPA supports Class Jihadists, what exactly are you going to do about it? This is the new norm, so the JPA needs not engage in anything directly, you have arrived too late, and the work of convincing thousands upon thousands of workers & lumpens that the bourgeois must be genocided is already done. We can sleep, and the inevitable will unfold, unrelated to us in any direct way. Yet, like your “New Jakarta” campaign waged against the Islamic voices of the East, those you view as the propaganda wings of a dangerous opposition, you will attempt to eliminate the same type of voices within the western left, that you see as a threat. You will do this because you have lost the ability to control the masses, who have long since been swayed into action right under your noses.

Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.

The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.

So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?

2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Wrong. You are distorting the NEP as something economically necessary. Trotsky's position was to continue the war economic policy in the civil war of war communism; this does not abolish private property and was necessary in the use of confiscation with a fixed price for cities and soldiers, even if unpopular with peasants. Without war, there is a limited grain market with an incentive to transition peasants to collective work in the countryside.

You are confusing state capitalism, which was used when there were no developed means of production, with capitalism, which is the example of small peasant production isolated from each other, which is outdated for collective planning due to a lack of technology and organizational techniques. In this case, preparing a limited grain market with state capitalism is acceptable so that impoverished small peasants receive benefits for working in cooperatives, because the more prosperous peasants were acting like gangs, sabotaging and coercing the smaller peasants to submit to what would be the "new capitalists," who were preparing to eventually pit rural workers against urban workers in an attempt to restore the bourgeois state.

State capitalism is not something stable and must be used by the dictatorship of the proletariat to facilitate all the conditions for the entire economy to be socialized, such as having a level of education, machinery and self-sufficient national technology for collective planning. This will eventually have to come into conflict with a small minority of the petty bourgeoisie that is more prosperous and will try everything to get counterrevolutionaries to assume power to end proletarian democracy and the domination of the proletarian class over the intelligentsia, petty bourgeoisie and the rest of society.

You're also forgetting that the Soviet Union had to acquire books, knowledge, and machinery to be self-sufficient because it was already receiving sanctions from capitalist countries from the beginning. The existing trade was being deliberately limited to grains by the capitalists with the intention of creating civil war in the Soviet Union using the kulaks, but this failed even though the Soviet government gave the kulaks many chances to cooperate. Eventually, the hatred of the peasants against the prosperous peasants could no longer be contained. I wouldPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

No. You are already bullshitting, Trotsky wanted a continuation of the NEP with a rapid industrialization of the country. He was one of the first to advocate for NEP like changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fKRrSNEoIg

>You are confusing state capitalism, which was used when there were no developed means of production, with capitalism, which is the example of small peasant production isolated from each other, which is outdated for collective planning due to a lack of technology and organizational techniques.


What the actual fuck are you talking about? You know State Capitalism has been used by non-socialist countries right? The idea of a mixed market economy goes back to the very birth of capitalism and isn't a uniquely Bolshevik policy in the slightest.

>You're also forgetting that the Soviet Union had to acquire books, knowledge, and machinery to be self-sufficient because it was already receiving sanctions from capitalist countries from the beginning. The existing trade was being deliberately limited to grains by the capitalists with the intention of creating civil war in the Soviet Union using the kulaks, but this failed even though the Soviet government gave the kulaks many chances to cooperate. Eventually, the hatred of the peasants against the prosperous peasants could no longer be contained. I would say that the Soviet government didn't fall into the trap the capitalists were hoping for, which was to wage war between rural and urban workers, even though the kulaks were given many more chances to cooperate by Stalin. This, however, was useful in exposing the right-wing revisionist sector in the Soviet Union.

>>2764076
>Apparantly the Kulaks are a magical group of people that can single-handedly sabotage capitalism.

Kulaks became irrelevant by the late 20s as poor peasantry and state and collective farms became more and more dominant. Kulaks' grip on the grain market died, and their attempted sabotage was the last dying effort to reverse the trend. Retards went full luddite with attacking new ways of agriculture, tractors, any kind of mechanization, to return back the good times, but predictably enough, kulaks went out of business with their use of manual labor in the fields when your competition is using tractors, combines, pesticides, fertilizers, modern agricultural planning, etc etc.

Why are you acting surprised that a reactionary group of people has reactionary views on the economy, that makes them really fucking inefficient and turns them towards violence to get their way?

>>2764139
>>2764076
And unlike you, I'm not speaking out of my ass on kulaks being le poor victims of tyrant Stalin, I've actually read Soviet papers on the issue, documentation from the time, where CPSU was gloating how kulaks take smaller and smaller share of the economic pie, alongside drop in grain prices and also improving peasant condition because more and more of them left for the cities while those who remained in villages learned better productivity and could now work for 2 or 3 peasants merely a decade ago. And they were looking at American farmers with their policies, even, saying that everyone knows that despite American grain prices being low, their farmers were famously wealthy.

I agree with notion that (formal) logic wasn't developed yet as it was after WWII, and also I should've add that even tho Marx and Engels never rejected formal logic at the time, they'd still resist relying on only mathematics or other static methodologies/scienes which is perfectly shown in Anti-Duhring and later Lenin presents in Empirio-Criticism.

My point was maybe misunderstood but I wanted to showcase that analytical school seems to reduct their scope into one branch of thought/science while Marxism has ability to constantly adapt to different scopes of analysis and even critique them from inside of their logic.

>Dialectics—as Hegel in his time explained—contains the element of relativism, of negation, of scepticism, but is not reducible to relativism. The materialist dialectics of Marx and Engels certainly does contain relativism, but is not reducible to relativism, that is, it recognises the relativity of all our knowledge, not in the sense of denying objective truth, but in the sense that the limits of approximation of our knowledge to this truth are historically conditional. - Lenin.

batteries are cool but to me distribution, not storage, is key. if electricity is treated like blood, which is made to circulate, rather than clot, it will be used right away and won't need to be stored. just-in-time production of electricity basically. Silvio Giselle had similar ideas about money

isn't the whole problem that you can't do that ? I mean sure you can keep it low and then start up another gaz powerplant,but solar and wind aren't on you to open them up unless you're already making a surplus

>>2757842
you can reuse batteries up to thousands of times, it's (mostly) a solved problem, the problem is you keep 80% of the battery's efficiency when recycled, so you have to add an additional 20% of the main element (lithium, or potentially something else)

The goal, according ​to a source with knowledge of the plan, is to again approve a DHS funding bill that the Senate unanimously passed ​last week, but the Republican-controlled House rejected. That bill would fund DHS to September 30, the end of this fiscal year. Instead of signing off on the bipartisan Senate bill, the House passed a 60-day extension of DHS funding - a measure that Democrats had repeatedly rejected.

CC of the Communist Party of the Philippines: People's war is the answer to imperialist war and crisis
The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines joyfully extends its greetings to all the valiant Red fighters and commanders of the New People’s Army on this historic day, the 57th anniversary of the founding of the true army of the oppressed people. On this day, let us look back on the unrelenting efforts to advance the revolutionary armed struggle to achieve national freedom and genuine democracy. Let us draw lessons from our long march along the winding path of advances and retreats, defeats and victories. Let us pay tribute to all the heroes and martyrs of the Filipino people who selflessly dedicated their lives to the great cause of liberating the nation from imperialist domination and all forms of oppression and exploitation by the local ruling classes. We owe to their sacrifice all that the people have achieved on the path of revolutionary struggle. Their names and contributions shall never fade from the memory of the people. They are shining stars, serving as beacons, as the people traverse the darkness toward the Red dawn. It is fitting that we celebrate the victories we have achieved in advancing the revolutionary armed struggle in the past year, while mindfully drawing lessons from the bitterness we have experienced. We must firmly grasp these as we press forward on the path of strengthening and advancing our protracted people’s war.

- mass immigration is bad overall (I'm not against immigration per se, more like unfiltered immigration is quiet bad in my opinion)

-religion in general are bad, reactionary and backwater, and trying to "fuse" religion and left leaning politics are bound to fail because both doesn't mix well

-"liberal" eugenics is mostly right and should be mass adopted

-China is actually a trying a form of modernize socialism with end goal of becoming a full fledged socialist nation when they exhaust the market-capitalism form of relation in the country

-North Korea is a abomination of socialism

-Supporting Russia is stupid because Putin is nowhere near close to be a support of socialism and progressive politics and is just a form of support imperialist politics by because isn't western somehow is good, it's like supporting japanese imperialism back in the WW 2 era isn't western
