the paradox of revolution is people have at least 1 job, sometimes family to take care of (a 2nd job) and sometimes elders to take care of (a 3rd job). This keeps them very busy and risk averse. Then they are told that, if they are tired of being exploited and tired, they have to risk their lives (a 4th job) to "educate" (a 5th job) "agitate" (a 6th job) "organize" (a 7th job) and militarize (a 7th job) against a state that will literally kill them and everyone they love. Most people will opt to not do that for obvious reasons. The situation has to be INCREDIBLY DESPERATE. i.e. the average person needs to be starving or getting press ganged into a war, or getting thrown in prison and tortured, and even then, it still might not manifest in revolution because people don't want a bunch of extra jobs when their 1 or 2 jobs is already the source of the vast majority of their misery. So you have to find a way around this, especially in the imperial core USA where people are on average NOT starving and nobody is getting drafted anymore. Exploitation by employer will also never ever ever ever translate into class consciousness if the workers view their employer as bad apples rather than part of a class system. They'll just keep quitting and switching jobs because subtracting 1 job (quitting) is way easier than adding another job (being a revolutionary)

Europe is BOG (burger occupied government). And even that isn't entirely true because Western Europe has its own imperial interests but it has to be subservient to burgerland to get a share of the plunder.

>just do marxism but like, with the individual dude

I'm currently reading his book "search of a method" and quite frankly his thought and ideas seem very anecdotical and uninteresting. I understand that the context of marxism in the 1950s was different than it is now and as such made the ideology appear as more deterministic, but even then I can't shake the feeling that this is too big of a development to simply adress the issue of tendencies within marxist circles at his time.
His whole philosophy to me seems very basic and overdeveloped. Radicalizing subjectivism doesn't seem to require as much development than he gave it. Similarly criticizing other ideologies that you agree with on the basis that it's not sensible enough for "le individual" is dishonest. Maybe I'm missing something but his thought appears as a more developed Stirner with humanist tendencies and vocab. Thoughts ?

I think we should just stop giving any consideration to that bunch of French pederasts that too many consider 'intellectuals'. A lot of mumbojumbo with a few captivating catchphrases thrown into the mix. There's plenty of other stuff one can read and get valuable insights from.
One of the actually based Frenchmen, Pierre Bourdieu, correctly stated that in a capitalist society, intellectuals are fundamentally a dominated section of the dominant class: they have a cultural capital they can profit from on the market instead of a classic financial or industrial form of capital. There are obviously individual exceptions, but the place of the intellectual is just that.
I guess that's why you constantly have people salivating on faggots like the ones OP and other anons talk about itt, while you rarely get any mention of Bourdieu.

It's hard to tell what you mean by authoritarianism but I'll try to answer:
>legislative sortitioned single-chamber assembly with recall ability for constituents
>constitutional protection of standard liberal democratic civil rights like free speed + safeguards against oligarchical wielding of mop
>direct democratic relations of production with delegation of powers and recall ability, public resource pool for individual and group enterprise managed by councils, government sector takes very centralized or vital industries

>>2746761
Authority is a consequence of the town-country contradiction and the bourgeois family. No centralization of administration in the town, no dependency of working mothers on patriarchs and you don't have authority. Internet and commie blocks basically solve the problem of authoritarianism.

There is an inescapable distance of two centuries* between a succesful revolution and actual State-less, money-less and (perhaps) authority-less communism. I like the way so many of my comrades here are fighting to not let our very high and dignified ultimate goal of human emancipation be forgotten. I believe however we must also dedicate some of that energy to think about the immediate transition, during which no doubt authority and the State will be needed. As of how much, I would only say that in the same way capitalism employs authority to suppress the emergence or everything that pushes towards socialism, socialism will employ it's authority to make the ressurgence of capitalism impossible. The goal of gradually increasing the social ownership of the means of production should be put in the constitution and publicly attacking that goal should be legally punished in the same way we are legally punished right now for objecting to the liberal rights of private property.

It is genuinely entertaining to watch the ideological defenses of capitalism crumble under the weight of materialist analysis. The standard refrain that the abundance and innovation we enjoy are products of capitalist competition and individual genius ignores what becomes of art, culture, science and craft when profit becomes the sole organizing principle. Commodification does not simply cheapen material life; it strips culture of its soul, directs the science towards fields that don't always benefit us as a whole. Music, video games, cinema, any creative field subsumed by the hyper‑ late stage - capitalist model tends toward mechanic formula, risk aversion, and the relentless pursuit of the bottom line. The most enduring games, the most resonant albums, were rarely born from quarterly earnings projections; they emerged from spaces where passion, not profit, drove production. Capitalism did not invent creativity; it commodified it, then proceeded to enclose it, standardize it to bourgeoisie norms, and drain it of everything that made it vital. Individual artists and developers who once worked for love of the craft are now pushed to the margins, their visions chopped into marketable fragments, their names buried under corporate branding. The decline in quality is not incidental it is the necessary outcome of a system that treats creativity as a product and inventors as interchangeable labor. The evidence is everywhere, a gaming industry once animated by basement coders and small teams now churns out hollow sequels and micro transactions; a music industry once capable of producing genuine cultural movements now cycles through algorithm‑generated disposable pop. The moment capital fully colonizes a creative field, the field loses its capacity to surprise, to challenge, to reflect anything beyond the logic of accumulation. This is yet again, an example of capitalism crushing every aspect of the individual.

>A capitalist society is ruled by liberalism which sets the interests of the community against those of individuals, and places the interests of individuals above those of the community.
Yes, that is called universality by the rule of law; the alternative is to be enslaved by custom and tradition, as it persists in more patriarchal societies. Homosexuality, for example, can only have civic protection, where the individual's claim to liberty, is superior to the community (e.g. the family). If 99% of people are against you, yet you are protected by the law, then the individual is in fact facilitated by legality, which conserves the preservation of their being. Universality must then begin in concerns for minorities, with the individual being the ultimate minority.

they don't necessarily always believe/think that, they just say that because it benefits them and they know better than to contradict an idea that benefits them. they want the proles to have crab bucket mentality.
