Hey /leftypol/, the more I'm reading about these topics the more I get diverging interpretations that seem unreconcilable. So, what's the global consensus on these notions ?

>historical materialism

The structure of society, which reflects the mode of production (capitalism, socialism, feudalism etc), creates antagonist groups with structural interdependance aswell as structural contradictory modes of existence (i.e. the proletariat will aim to maximize their salaries, but the bourgeoisie will attempt to extract the most surplus value from the proletariat).
Over time, this creates change and conflict within societies, giving way to paradigmic societal change (i.e. feudalism -> capitalism -> …)
However, another interpretation seems to see it through the lens of the development in productive forces. In this case, the contradiction ceases to be between classes, but rather between the development of productive forces with the relations of production (i.e. feudalism preventing capitalism from developing because of taxes or irrational norms).
The first interpretation makes me tend to believe that there is no gradual change from one society towards another, and simply a dialectical movement towards the abolition of classes, whilst the second one seems to be much more technology-centric and linear.

>dialectical materialism

This one seems to be the most controversial one. From what I can gather, it seems that it originated with Engels and that it posits that the material world in eternal motion driven by contradictory forces and structured around 3 natural laws. However, doesn't this imply some form of naturalism ? Nonetheless, another interpretation that I have picked up accounts for it being the idea that man is in a dialectical interaction with his environment, by which he is able to consciously work on it whilst also being determined by the latter. This interpretation can be imo hardly derived easily from the first one.

>alienation

Every individual is intrinsically a social and creative potential, by which he can be fulfilled or alienated. Alienation here refers to the mechanisms inherent to capitalism which "alienates" the proletariat from that potential by reducing them to cogs.
In this view, the dialectic seems to change again and shifts towards individual interactions between the position someone holdsPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>I don't really see how all these can be reconciled.
yeah i dont either your reading seems jumbled and incoherent like you are trying to distill a complex concept into easily digestible bullet points for memorizing to take a multiple choice test. first of all dialectical and historical materialism are basically synonyms so start with that. dialectics isn't controversial and the people who say that are not real communists and have no idea what they are talking about. theres perfect continuity from marx to engels to stalin and mao in the understanding of dialectics and i suggest seeking the common thread between their works to understand what it means

the most recent Epstein file drop potentially implicating the creation of /pol/ with moot meeting with Epstein feels like it needs to have its own thread. it's pretty much an accepted fact at this point that Epstein played a key role in what seems to be a massive secret human trafficking ring that exists as a form of Mutually Assured Destruction to for the elites to maintain power, but what is currently a lesser-known and recent revelation is that circumstantial evidence indicating that the entire formation of the far-right was an astroturfing psyop by pedophile billionaires and the intelligence community.

in particular, this thread >>>/lgbt/3094 links even more damning evidence that the astroturfing of far-right politics has been intentionally perpetrated as a psyop to ensure that the Molochian demons in power have access to as many children to rape as possible. pedocon theory is not a meme at this point or even merely an own on the hypocrisy of the far-right; it arguably is a significant factor behind the existence of the far-right today.

while it's bordering on LARP to act like anything serious happens on this site, broadly speaking "the left" and especially leftists familiar with imageboard culture & history should be investigating and agitating more specifically on this matter. the purpose of this thread is to consolidate information on this and to crowdsource more investigative work in the Epstein files specifically on the issue of astroturfing the creation of the alt-right. if you are involved in any real life organizing of any kind you should be spreading this information far and wide for agitprop purposes.

the masses needs to know that there is no civil debate to be had with the right, nor is there even any particularly sophisticated leap in theory and critique one needs to make; the far-right is simply ontologically evil and we should be agitating on them all being controlled by human traffickers as hard as possible.

Alright, so this all started by making hay out of the Podesta Email leaks from wikileaks. The craziest shit I found is that Dennis Hastert and the Podestas all went to some future leaders camp in Japan as youths called "Camp Nose" and they all kept up with each other since then. Dennis Hastert was the Speaker of The House and he got convicted of paying hush money to a man who he formerly molested when he was a child.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Hastert
>John Dennis Hastert (/ˈhæstərt/ HASS-tərt; born January 2, 1942) is an American former politician and convicted felon who served as the 51st speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2007.[1] A member of the Republican Party, he represented Illinois's 14th congressional district from 1987 to 2007 and was the 6th longest-serving speaker in history, and the longest serving Republican. In 2016, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison for financial offenses related to the sexual abuse of teenage boys, although he was never convicted of any sexual crimes.[2][3]

The 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul provided a vivid demonstration of how even decentralized movements can successfully detect and neutralize infiltrators through collective practice. According to contemporaneous reporting, members of the RNC Welcoming Committee, an anarchist federation of anonymous affinity groups, systematically photographed law enforcement during confrontations and worked to memorize faces over the months.

This practice paid off concretely. At a rally in Mears Park, a protester recognized a man who looked like an anarchist or leftist, dark clothes, red flag, backpack, disheveled appearance, and realized she had photographed him days earlier during a police raid on the Welcoming Committee's headquarters. She spread word to other protesters, who confronted the man and his two associates and told them to leave the park. The men departed and entered an unmarked sedan whose license plate traced back to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office detective unit. Private investigators associated with the affinity groups were able to recover these plates.

Later the same day, protesters identified two additional men during a planned march, one singled out simply because he was wearing brand, new tennis shoes, a subtle marker of inexperience or incongruity with movement norms. Those men also left in an unmarked sedan.

Academic assessment of security culture during the RNC found it had "a mixed record". It succeeded in "frustrating shorter-term infiltrators operating at the movement's peripheries, but "generally failed to prevent longer-term infiltrators from gaining others' trust" . This distinction is crucial to understand. The men identified in Mears Park and the march were likely peripheral operatives which is shorter-term infiltrators whose behavior or appearance had not yet fully assimilated to movement norms. The deeper penetrations, the operatives who spent months building relationships and trust, remained undetected.

>>Detection Protocols, what the people can actually do


The RNC example illuminates several concrete practices that movements employ to detect infiltrators –

>>Documentation and Memory Work. Systematic photography of law enforcement during operations creates a visual database that can be referenced when unfamiliar faces appear in movement spaces. The protester who recognized the raid participant did so b

>>The Operational Mechanics of the Dead End

What does this look like in practice for a movement organization??? Let us walk through the infiltrator's journey from the inside.

>>Phase One: Access.


The infiltrator shows up. They attend open meetings, public actions, visible events. They are observed by the movement's distributed immune system, not a formal vetting committee, but dozens of people who notice and share patterns. The Army's OPSEC guidance warns that adversaries "scour the internet and social media sites for tidbits of information" and will "stake out places where large numbers of people gather to collect information". Movements invert this and they watch the watchers, noting who appears where and with whom, what vehicles leave what buildings, and show up in what spaces.

>>Phase Two, Trust-Building


Months pass. The infiltrator demonstrates commitment. They show up consistently, take risks, build relationships. They are gradually granted access to more sensitive spaces, working groups, planning meetings, encrypted channels and comms. But here the design intervenes. Because the movement practices graduated trust and functional compartmentalization, each new level of access reveals only what is necessary for that specific role. The person who helps plan logistics does not learn the names of everyone in the wider communications team. The person who facilitates one "safe house" so-to-speak does not know of the other "safe houses" they have not been involved in.

>>Phase Three, The Moment of Activation.


The infiltrator has spent two years, perhaps three or more, building credibility. They have been patient, careful, convincing. Now they receive the signal from their handlers to act. They attempt to access sensitive information, and discover they cannot. The wider network of "safe house" locations are known only to a different cell. The names of key organizers are held in a encrypted list they never saw. The tactical plans for the next action are being developed in a group they do not even know exists.

My apologies for the length, these are complex matters that resist easy summary. The essence of what we covered is this - centralized party structures proved fatally vulnerable to modern state infiltration, as COINTELPRO's devastation of groups like the CPUSA and Black Panthers demonstrated. Decentralized networks emerged as a necessary adaptation rather than ideological choice, forcing the FBI and European security forces to work harder, cast wider nets, and rely on technological surveillance where human infiltration consistently has failed. The 2008 RNC protests showed that shorter-term infiltrators could be spotted and isolated. But decentralization creates its own vulnerabilities. Agent provocateurs exploit the absence of central authority to push for reckless escalation, hoping movements will burn themselves out or isolate themselves, making easy targets for repression.

The solution is not closed off organizing forms but building movements with ingrained immune systems, graduated trust that limits what any single person can access, compartmentalization that ensures no betrayal reveals the whole, and internal brakes ie; shared understandings of proportionality, that resist provocateur pressure without speedy commands from above. The GRU's illegal residencies proved that the most secure networks are built on preexisting relationships that cannot be easily infiltrated. The ultimate achievement is not perfect security but resilience so deep that infiltration becomes strategically useless. Everything we've discussed here, is the standard for modern intelligence agencies creating hostile proxy movements in adversary nations. It's tested in the field.

I don't see how self-immolation is adventurism. It's just dumb.

>>2737002

The way people use adventurist, isn't even correct. When the working-class is more comfortable with certain actions than the leftists, doesn't that reflect the base adventuring beyond the supposed "vanguard"? lmao. I don't think academic organizing has 0 value, but the overemphasis on it does not have the same results academic organizing does abroad, because in USA that is not a public sphere.

Capitalism will end in a few decades.
I concluded this by playing a flash game called Oiligarchy which you should play for yourself and see the eco ending:
https://armorgames.com/play/2607/oiligarchy (Original)
https://www.hackedfreegames.com/game/3195/oiligarchy (Hacked/Cheats)

and by searching "when will the world run out of oil" on Google, which said:
<Based on current consumption rates and known reserves, the world is estimated to run out of economically accessible oil in approximately 50 years, or around 2052–2060.

And I once read this guy called Reza Negristani who wrote a book (Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials) about how oil is capitalism and its sentient, like he was saying capitalism needs oil, also the west runs on oil and its obviously important to them. Lots of guys like Michael Parenti and Jacques Derrida and whatnot wrote big books on how the west invades for oil, fights for oil and like is living because of oil and stuff.

So yeah, there won't be an ecological collapse / doomsday. West should fall soon. Unless they use nukes for M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) like in one of the game endings.

To address some concerns:
>We're already past the point of no return, this ecological damage is irreversible, we're fucked.
No I'm pretty sure not, but if we are its like… why aren't you doing whatever you want if its your final days? Go.

Of course not, but large scale industries != capitalism. We already had capitalism with barely-above-artisanal levels of manual craftsmanship in England's nascent textile industry in the XVIII century. The only thing you need for capitalism is a small set of people with enough money to buy things and buy labour to then sell the result of labour+things for a bit above the cost and treat all of this as a private, non-social operation. They will begin to accumulate and pass the wealth through inheritance and begin the cycle all over again. My point is that ecological and/or technological catastrophes may very well preclude the current form of capitalism, but not capitalism itself. So I agree that running out of oil will be a once in a millenia opportunity for setting up a new set of rules for the material production of life, but we need to start thinking about the specifics right now because if we are not ready by then, inertia will make humanity fall back again to what they already are familiar with.

I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

It's just a sad reality that after 1950, dialectical materialist writers started caring more about impressing people with word salad and less about conveying clear ideas in the plain manner of Marx, Engels, and their immediate successors. So it's not surprising that there are post-1950 works outside of explicitly leftist works that have more to offer.

poor american education means modern european marxism seems too academicy and word-salady. europe expanded public knowledge and education of workers and usa is still stuck in old age europe left this old age with social democracy when it come to education accesss so the pre ww2 texts make more sense to american brains. europe funds schools centrally. everybody gets the same baseline whether you in the rich part of town or the poor part . here? property taxes and private systems run education acccess. so a kid in a poor zip code gets a worse public schools and even then public school is bad most places and you expect to pay lot of moeny out of pocket to get level of education kids abroad in EU get. straight up.
