/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

TL;DR I saw this one edit about Trotsky and, TBH, it hits all the right notes with me. Being very individualistic and such but not liking the Right, this edit and this quote hits me hard.
How accurate is it?
Am I just deranged?
IDK, just fuck my shit up fam.

I sincerely believe that once the life on the planet achieves the true technological communism stage, its most progressive course of action would be:

1)Breaching the Kardashev 1 civilisation level (even the 1% complete Dyson sphere should be enough)
2)Development of interstellar flight
3)Exponentional expansion towards all reachable star systems
4)Wiping out all encoutered xeno life and replacing it with ourselves (or at least, our robots)

Why? Just look at our history! For 99% of it, humans were doing little but killing, raping, and enslaving each other for tribalism, religion, and religious tribalism. And before, like, 19th century, the number of humans on Earth driven in their lives by anything larger than religion or tribalism was so small it was effectively dissapearing into a rounding error. So, would really anything of value had been lost if Daleks had appeared in the Solar system in the year 1800 and wiped out the life on Earth?

The Daleks do not rape. The Daleks do not enslave each other. The Daleks (when Davros is not having a megalomania episode) do not turn on each other. The Daleks do not exploit each other's labor.

Our descendants shall become like Daleks. The life in this universe is suffering, and, as one of the first technological civilisations in it, it is our duty to give the gift of death to the less lucky ones.

Honest question: I fucking hate neolibs just as much as the next guy and the idea that people always make rational decisions as consumers is nothing more than a myth, but didn't they sorta kinda have a point when they said that prices are necessary in an economy as a system of information?

I currently struggle to imagine how a planned economy can take into account sudden shifts in demand and react flexibly to people changing their mind about shit they want, or providing them with a vast choice of goods that they can try until they find one that matches their needs. I feel like this is only possible with some amount of speculation or trial-and-error, and cannot be reasonably planned ahead.

Are there good marxist economic theories that address the "information problem" - in other words, how a central planning commitee can figure out the preferences in a society efficiently and then also respond to them without making concessions to Porky? I am already familiar with Oskar Lange, Paul Cockshott and such, but I feel like I haven't really found an adequate answer to this issue yet.

It is our duty and we owe it to ourselves to be as professional and socially conventional as possible such that we may achieve the widest possible audience for revolutionary thought. This puts food on the table and anyone with other priorities is unserious and hostile.

Nations will stop existing under communism, under communism, the globe will be defined by sectors for the sole purpose of administration, sectors defined by the grid panel composed of meridians and parallels with small compromises of a few kilometes so cities aren't split in two. The idea of nation, culture, borders and so on are going to be labeled as reactionary and any and all individuals or groups that decide to fight this will be shot. The concept of "indigenous populations" and "natives" are going to be an irrelevant thing of the past, and people will be transfered between sectors every so often and as labour requirements demand. The concept of ethnicity will be abolished

That's it, that's the whole post.

Left parties keep losing because they care about "muh privilege" or pendering to transexuals, instead if they engage with the problem of the majority of working class, problems of like healthcare and job security, then many leftist parties would take power easly, instead we get people focusing their time and power on problems of 0.005% of the population, I'm not saying to not care for transexual, but this is pointless, leftist should care about the working class majority problems to get power and then care for minorities, I forget that there was a book talking about how the left got destroyed by identitaries politics. Will I get banned here for not pendering to transexuals?(IDpol thread)

Thread dedicated to discussing the consequences of a Burger-Occupied-Planet. This is not /usapol/ This is about what the USA does outside of the USA.

For the record, this thread is neither for demonizing the American worker, nor for centering them as the most oppressed, nor for spurring them to "do something." This is ALSO not a thread about discussing the debauchery of the US ruling class inside their mansions.

This is for discussing the international non-US-based consequences of US military hegemony, US offshore bases, USAID scams, CIA coups, IMF loan sharking and structural adjustment programs, dollar reserve currency status, petrollar scheming, infrastructure bombing campaigns, sanction starvation siege warfare, embargoes, forced privatization, forced austerity, forced union busting, US-funded anticommunist death squads, US-funded psy-ops, US "playing both sides" in conflicts, US fucking with its former allies, etc.

These constraints aside, the discussion can be both fluid and focused, emotional and scientific.

Please do not confuse this with a "Total Burger Death" or "Total Burger Defense" thread.

Greek anons, what's the deal with this?

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.

the fundamental flaw of marxism is that it is built around the idea of ONE contradiction being the motor of capitalism's development, namely what is manifest in the value form. this is merely the contradiction between proletariat and capitalist. but of course there is the contradiction between the capitalist and the capitalist, as well as the contradiction between the form of bourgeois institutions and their actual content insofar as they are in a material relationship with the capitalist class

what we have seen is that after the falling rate of profit has progressed a certain point, capitalists realized that the first contradiction was no longer tenable to work with and so they moved to the other two. this has resulted in a qualitatively distinct transformation of the development of capital. in the contradiction of the value form, still working within the logic of value, the only salient variable is productivity. however, in capitalist vs capitalist and capitalist vs government power relations they no longer need to concern themselves with such things. it does not matter that the rate of profit is zero or even negative if you just fucking kill your competition and have the govt print infinite money. the solution to capital's first contradiction really is just have more war and sabotage everyone else whilst introducing financialization bullshit. look at netflix. they actively undercut blockbuster whilst losing money just to push their opponent into bankruptcy. that is just what is normal now, cannibalism

this is why ofc there will be no revolution because the contradictions at play have nothing to do with prole cattle. they are just pawns in the larger game. in the context of disputing wages, there is a clear connection between one's class position and what is the natural progression with respect to how to address things. in such contexts, class consciousness is something very simple to promote. this is not the case when its having a war with the national bourgeois of another country, or heck in the future two megacorporations just fucking killing each other mafia-style. that is what will happen btw. the iran war will crash the economy and corporations will capitalize on the chaos to balkanize western states into feudal shitholes. then eventually you will have these "freedom cities" hurling drones at each other and any prole cattle that thinks of objecting to this will be preemptively executed why palantir technology
