How do you as Marxists reconcile your immense loss when you consider that next to one even thinks about class when it comes to explaining societal problems? At best they consider how much money people make, which isn’t a Marxian conception of class. So, if the very core of your theory is not even considered, how will socialism be successful? You talk about “the right conditions” but will “the right conditions” just magically endow people with the thinking that owners of the means of production are the problem? Why was the idea not even taken seriously for so long then? It seems like when shit hits the fan people will be more inclined to believe it’s only billionaires who are the problem, or Jews, or non-whites, or communists, ironically enough.

Yes, but they have a childish view of what rich means
For example, rich people don't deal in money, they deal in assets and expenditure of the capabilities of those assets. Money might as well be shit left over from dinosaurs eating up all the food. That's essentially what money is. We know this because banks can oh so easily freeze accounts, ignore debts, print more, meanwhile they think some taxes or more funds for poor communities is going to solve a damn thing.

You're not physically going to take over industry and the bourgeois isn't going to just give it to you willingly. Revolution is a power fantasy and reforms are a nightmare induced by the weak.

German men need military permit for extended stays abroad
While the law requires men to request the permit, the spokesperson clarified, it also obliges the military career center to issue it, if "no specific military service is expected during the period in question.” "Since military service under current law is based exclusively on voluntary participation, such permissions must generally be granted,” the official added. Acknowledging the "profound" impact of the amended conscription law, the Defense Ministry said it is working on new rules for exceptions to the exit permit requirement.

‘No to war’: Austria blocks US warplanes from its airspace
Earlier on Thursday, Austria announced it had banned U.S. military aircraft involved in the Iranian conflict from using its airspace, citing the country's neutrality law. “There have indeed been requests and they were refused from the outset,” Colonel Michael Bauer, spokesperson for the Defense Ministry, told POLITICO.

Cap prices now to save jobs and industry, unions demand
TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said: “Already struggling before the war, Trumpflation has sent gas prices soaring — further piling the pressure on some of Britain’s key industries like chemicals, ceramics and glass. “Trump’s war must not put jobs in critical industries at risk. “The government should urgently bring forward a temporary targeted gas price cap, to stabilise the price of gas for critical industries and protect UK manufacturing, and speed up the energy price support scheme making sure it reaches crucial sectors.”

US satellite firm Planet Labs announces blackout on war on Iran images
The US company announced the decision in an email to customers on Saturday, with news agencies quoting it as saying the government had asked satellite imagery providers ⁠to impose an “indefinite withhold of imagery”. The restriction expands upon a 14-day delay on imagery of the Middle East that Planet Labs implemented last month, which extended an initial 96-hour delay, a move the firm said was meant to prevent adversaries from using the imagery to attack the US and its allies.

Why socialist Cuba is more democratic than the U.S
The renewed escalation of hostility by the Trump administration towards Cuba—through tightened sanctions, political pressure, and open ideological aggression—once again exposes a fundamental contradiction. A country that presents itself as the "global model of democracy" continues to treat a small socialist island as a persistent threat. This is not a coincidence. It points to something deeper: what is being contested is not “democracy” in the abstract, but two fundamentally different ways of organizing power in society. At a moment when Cuba faces intensified economic pressure and systematic attempts at destabilization, a simple question emerges: if Cuba is truly “undemocratic,” why must it be constantly attacked, isolated and discredited? And, just as importantly, what does it reveal about the United States that it invests so much effort in undermining it?

Crypto Is Flailing
It feels like just yesterday when crypto markets last crashed hard. Back in 2022, what had been a wildly careening celebrity- and media-fueled hype train suddenly was a smoldering wreckage. Those were the days of Sam Bankman-Fried’s fraud-riddled FTX exchange, which went belly up along with a slew of other big crypto projects. The price of Bitcoin, the largest and most trend-setting of thousands of cryptocurrencies, dropped from its high of over $64,000 in 2021 to barely hitting $17,000 by 2022’s end. Along with Bitcoin, all things crypto sank. It felt at the time as though we all awoke from a bizarre collective dream in which mass-produced JPGs of cartoon monkeys had sold for prices that rivaled those of an average home, and trading made-up digital tokens on your phone promised to deliver unthinkable riches for the brave of heart. In the wake of crypto’s crash, most people preferred to tune out anything that included words like “blockchain,” “NFTs,” or “Bitcoin.” Even when prices for crypto recovered in 2024, the cringey backwash of 2022 clung on within mainstream public opinion. And then came Donald Trump.

I get why people dislike it most of the time; it's used by conservative parents to basically indoctrinate their children and socially isolate them, but thinking that makes homeschooling inherently bad is just like thinking all education is bad because bad people use it sometimes. A form of it could be very useful, especially for us Marxists who are often maligned by those controlling the current educational establishment. It's not like the current public school system is entirely flawless, with it often spewing anti-communist, pro-regime change, right-individualism, and pro-capitalist propaganda. If I had a kid, I wouldn't fully exclude them from public school, but I would perhaps add some sort of extra curriculum at home where I'd teach them Marxist theory, unbiased history of past socialist experiments that doesn't automatically default to (Mao killing 100 billion innocent kulaks in the gulags), and other useful things that may be discouraged elsewhere. I'd kind of be like homework but with studying Marx, Lenin, and even Franz Fanon and perhaps other leftist tendencies like anarchism since it's good to know what your opponents on the left think; marxists.org would be very useful for this, actually. This is especially relevant as it seems like reactionary forces, particularly in the United States, are trying to hijack the school system, such as Project 2025 or PragerU Kids.

To pre-face, a Wiccan is a high Vatican figure (a witch hunter, hunters of those who could be heterosexual, but choose sodomey as males instead), however poisoned on dill as infants with a food item attached; the ciphers set, for the later acts and abbreviated preference to spot traitors (queers, the pedophiles; the customs application of rules, not laws of legislature; the Roman Senators system, the Five Patriarchs; Italy, Greece, Russia, Syria, and Egypt).

Let's go over the three Wiccans in Hopkinton, their aversions to food, their bloodlines, their shortcuts, and their achievements.

Alexandra Gaetano (Gilgamesh, inventor of the longsword): Beef aversion, lamb and personally butchered sow pig as shortcut; liquor numbers, "non-homophobe"; hacker agent. Achievement, Meccan vaccine applied to Bosnians, "Crohn's Disease"; office, FBI, agent, COINTELPRO.

Christine Surka (Vasily Zaitsev, inventor of the starlight scope): Cannabis aversion, khalet and methamphetamine injections as shortcut; genetics quandries, "straight edge"; counter-Soviet agent. Achievement, legalization of marijuana and related modifications, "Purple Revolution"; office, CIA agent, corporate subsidiary expert.

David Charlebois (Judas Pilate, inventor of witch trials): Tomato aversion, ketchup and cocktail sauce as shortcut; marijuana dealer, "Detective Comics"; counter-theater agent. Achievement, removal of Tel Aviv and related Jewish non-American movements from national influence, return to Westboro Baptist Church; "Reader's Digest"; office, "NSA agent", psychiatric investigator.

third world proletarians, the most exploited on earth, regularly ask why 1st world proletarians don't do more. why don't they rebel? why don't they have revolutions? why have the first world proletariat not lifted a finger against their governments? the conclusion is treatlerism. they are willing and gleeful collaborators who benefit from plunder and so have become a "bourgeois proletariat" (engels said this about english workers in the late 19th century) fine. but it is a futile effort to ask someone who supposedly benefits from imperialism to fight it. they are your oppressor. do not beg your oppressor to stop oppressing you. that's naive cuckoldry at best. the next question then becomes, why do the third world proletariat not destroy the first world? the answer is they are too weak. they lack sovereignty. they don't have nukes. the imperial core sanctions, coups, embargoes, invades, bombs them every time they try to rise up. the only one brave enough to rise up seem to be the hyper religious ones who have no interest in communism, and they tend to get destroyed because they don't have a materialist understanding and just vibe based on the idea that god will give them the strength to win against impossible odds. not good… ok so what we have is a pretty bleak situation. the 1st world proletariat won't revolt because they benefit, and the 3rd world proletariat can't revolt because they're weak. What is left? bernsteinism? thinking capitalism will destroy itself if you wait long enough? embracing climate collapse and post apocalyptic scavenger theses? well that's anticommunist and opportunist. anprim ideology?

we have to get to the root here. i'm sick of the circular arguments where third worlders/worldists beg treatlers to stop being treatlers , and treatlers antagonize third worlders and tell them to win against impossible odds without any help from within the belly of the beast?

certain posters on here like felix says you need a crisis in the imperial core that accelerates economic collapse to create conditions for proletarian revolution. but nobody wants to go around blowing up power stations on the off chance it makes a lobotomized population of reactionaries who can't even point to iran or ukraine on a map suddenly pick up guns and attack the imperial core superpower.

what is the solution? how do you get around questions of nuclear armageddon, 1st world apathy, 3rd world weakness, 2nd world oppPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Do nothing, win.

China is building productive forces all over the world. By 2050 Bangladesh Niger and Tanzania will have a billion people each and have nuclear power plants high speed rail and produce more steel than the US and EU combined. Minimum wage for the average prole there will be $50 an hour. GATT, NAFTA, TPP will lose all power. Once this happens the competitive advantage of the imperialist west will be absolutely gutted and demolished they will have to stop being service workers with bullshit jobs and actually make something. Hundreds of millions of petite bourgeois professional managerial ladder climbers will be reproletarianized and their jet skis repossessed by the dealership forcing them to get real jobs. These people will be furious and the monopolist bourgeoisie will get super cucked incapable of external expansion they will turn colonialism inward domestically and put the screws on with unimaginable austerity to prop up their wrecked profit rate. Contradictions will increase and crisis will become even more frequent? 2008->2019->2026? how about every year? twice a year? crashes every other month? hyperinflation? S&P and Dow go to zero.

We have to rig Hungary's election. We have to finance organizations that will rig Hungary's election and ensure a victory for anti-imperialist comrade Orbán.

<Polls show that there's a good Chance Orbán will lose the next election. Chances of this tard attacking Ukraine to reclaim Hungarian inhabited areas and to postpone an electoral defeat just got a bit higher.


We have to ensure Orban wins, lets fund some organization that rigs the election or donate to the party of FIDESZ.

How do you rationally organize an economy without some form of pricing to signal consumer need? Socialists never seem to have a good answer, and willfully ignore or distort the documented fact that this problem is why socialism inevitably slides into authoritarianism no matter the intent or ideals of their founders.

>>2762201
You are being ignorant. Economic planning can be easily done by collecting data from before and during the revolution on the prices of what was produced and the cost of producing these goods. Eventually, local people's councils will send constant local information to update the national economic plan, which will be adjusted by regional and local people's councils, communicating with the Supreme People's Council for economic planning to meet the needs of the population. So there is no problem at all; there will always be a generic fund for creativity in culture, entertainment, and research. If something on a larger scale is needed, then there will be a discussion to decide on the use of resources to produce something on a large scale to be included in the economic plan.

Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie? Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing? Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps? If we take streamers to be the equivalent of politicians, aren't video creators the equivalent of theory? Has there been good, "original" theory well edited on YouTube? What specific left wing camp has gained the most popularity from social media?

>>2767331
>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
they're small business owner because they still work themselves, so petit bourgeois at best, and in reality even worse than that because they're completely at the whim of the platform they use and depend on, so they don't even own all their means of production (because the distribution is a crucial part of their domain)

>Have video platforms been a net gain for the left wing

hard to say. On one hand, the media concentration in the hands of few superporkies already happened in the old shchool media sphere which completely excluded alternative narratives, so the video platforms do allow alternative voices some space they didnt have anymore, but they're still dependent on those platform goodwill (and we know the algorithms are explicitly loaded against marxists and anti imperialist ideas and favor the current liberal consensus)

>Why does anarchism tend to have little to no videos covering it on video platforms compared to other camps

coz their organization is shit, and their theory as well

>streamers to be the equivalent of politicians

they're not. they're mostly alternative editorialists (the media talking heads indicating the authorized opinions)

>aren't video creators the equivalent of theory

no

>>2767448
No people generally watch what's shoved in front of their eyeballs.
Keep in mind the old internet is dead. Most people don't choose what content they consume anymore, or at least they only choose within a limited range of what the platform provides. They just consume whatever's on their feed (algorithmic slop).

>Aren't Youtubers with employees they pay technically part of the bourgeoisie?
