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.

>what did marx call communists? the most advanced and resolute section of the working-class parties of every country, that section which pushes forward all others… so is that you or do you just post as one on the internet?


i never claimed to be communist nor even working class. I just pointed out that downwardly mobile petty bourgeoisie are ripe for fascist agitation. the sensitivity and anger in your writing is palpable, but you may as well be fighting a person you imagined. you imagined i was

>claiming to be communist
>claiming to be working class
>claiming to be part of the most advanced and resolute section of the working-class
>claiming that proletarianized petty bourgeoisie inevitably become fascist (italic emphasis)

I claimed none of those things and yet your reply takes the tone as if i claimed all 4 of those things. why?

>i never claimed to be communist nor even working class.
oh ok then i dont really care what you think
>why?
this is a communist website

>>2770824
>oh ok then i dont really care what you think
you didn't care what I thought to begin with. you just made up a bunch of things I didn't say and confronted those things. you began by assuming i was working class. i asked why you made that assumption. now you assume i am not because i simply asked a question. in both situations you begin by assuming without evidence. you demonstrated a lack of critical thinking skills. maybe you are tired, but in this instance, when confronted with a question you shut down the conversation. that is not very communist, communists think critically and consider evidence. and yes, communists regularly care about what non working class people say because they do the work of deconstructing and debunking bourgeois propaganda. you are just being anti-intellectual and emotional right now. you have the opportunity to stop being that way but you might not because of pride. seriously read our exchange from the beginning and ask yourself what basis you had to make any of those 4 assumptions instead of just replying to what I did say.

me:
>petty bourgeois people can become the basis of a fascist movement

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

Marxist theory already acknowledged that the destruction of the productive forces and endless wars was the bourgeoisie's logical reaction to the falling rate of profit and other endemic crises of capital.

US and Ecuador fabricating drug trafficking charges against Colombia’s president: audio
In the recording, an Ecuadorean official discusses a “special task force backed by the US Embassy” in Quito that seeks to revoke outstanding extradition requests for drug lords from the border region and convince them to testify against Petro. "So my job is to go to Interpol to have those alerts removed… because the gringos want to catch them—they want to catch one of these guys and make him sing against Petro. You get what I mean? We’re not really going to get involved in that, but the gringos are."

Australia: Labor government conducts police raids against anti-genocide protesters in Melbourne
Early on the morning of March 27, Victoria Police Public Order Response Team (PORT) officers in full combat gear conducted eight raids upon homes around Melbourne to detain eight women who had taken part in a March 6 protest outside the Victorian Trades Hall building. Because the police went to a wrong address, one of the women was raided and arrested on April 1. Just a day before the eight raids, on March 26, heavily-armed NSW police commandos stormed the home of a woman who had joined the large demonstration at Sydney Town Hall on February 9 against the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog.

Trump endorses Republican Steven Hilton for California governor, reordering wide-open race
The endorsement — coming about a month before mail ballots go to voters in advance of the June 2 primary — will help Hilton coalesce conservative support in a race with no clear leader. However, Trump is widely unpopular in heavily Democratic California outside his conservative base and Trump’s backing would become a liability if Hilton faces a Democrat in the November election.

Upstate NY judge removed from bench amid charges he advised illegal eviction, deleted emails, more
Investigators found Lilley gave legal advice to landlords outside of court about how to remove tenants from a mobile home, according to the commission’s findings. He told the property owners to serve a notice to vacate and later suggested they change the locks after the tenants were gone for about two weeks. But under New York law, tenants who have lived somewhere for at least 30 days can’t be locked out without going through the court process, the commission said.

Donald Trump Has Given Iran a New Deadline, Again
In times of war, leaders tend to look towards the future’s history books as they compose their letters and speeches. Regret and stoicism; conviction and sorrow; grit and greatness: these are the themes that presidents and princes strive to capture with pithy eloquence as they prepare their populations for sacrifice. So too with Donald Trump on Easter Sunday. “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell,” he picked from the drafts, “JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” The inspirational coffee mugs produce themselves. Dubbing this coming Tuesday “Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one”, it’s far from the first time that Trump has threatened war crimes against Iran’s civilian infrastructure (and he’s already done more than a few too). On 21 March, Tehran was given 48 hours to allow ships through the Strait of Hormuz. By 23 March, it was five days. On the 26th, it became ten. On the 30th, it was ‘immediately’, which was rolled back to 48 hours this Saturday, then 48 hours again on Sunday. Trump may have promised to bomb Iran ‘back to the stone ages’ last week, but when it comes to statecraft, it appears Washington is already there. Because, as any child will tell you, the parental leap from “I really mean it” to “I really, really mean it this time” isn’t upwards, but downwards when it comes to authority.

Why the doctors’ strike matters to all trade unionists
THE six-day strike by resident doctors in England, due to start after the Easter bank holiday weekend, raises issues that concern the whole labour movement. Doctors’ disputes are sometimes viewed at arm’s length by other trade unionists. The British Medical Association (BMA) remains outside the TUC. Doctors, unlike most NHS workers, are not part of Agenda for Change bargaining structures, which can reduce solidarity across the healthcare workforce, and their wages are relatively higher. Nor does every strike slogan — the threats to move to New Zealand for higher pay that featured on some junior doctors’ picket line placards last year, for instance — encourage sympathy from workers on lower pay with no such options.

Houdini has been arrested.

He is in deep Florida country. Anons in Florida, please do what you can for him. Those who can make online payments, please help him.

Pasting the message from his comrades:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
TL;DR Our friend Erik is in jail for allegedly trolling a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, and we’re putting together a bail fund for him. If we don't get him out in 10 days or locate a foster the local animal shelter may put down his dog.

Hey everyone. We do not come here lightly and it is with a heavy heart that we come to you and ask for monetary assistance. Not for ourselves but for a dear friend of ours who was arrested Tuesday February 24th 2026 by the police.

Sometime in November of 2025, not long after the Kirk assassination, our friend allegedly got into a conflict on Instagram with a right wing influencer, Kaitlin Bennet, when she visited their city. In this conflict he allegedly referenced Kirk's assassination and that was enough for her to take these as threats on her life and call the police on him and an investigation was conducted where they allegedly found evidence of plans to harass Bennet next time she visits their City.

If you're too lazy to read, then I'll leave you with a quote from Lenin about what imperialist capitalism is:

<But very brief definitions, although convenient, for they sum up the main points, are nevertheless inadequate, since we have to deduce from them some especially important features of the phenomenon that has to be defined. And so, without forgetting the conditional and relative value of all definitions in general, which can never embrace all the concatenations of a phenomenon in its full development, we must give a definition of imperialism that will include the following five of its basic features:

<(1) the concentration of production and capital has developed to such a high stage that it has created monopolies which play a decisive role in economic life; (2) the merging of bank capital with industrial capital, and the creation, on the basis of this “finance capital,” of a financial oligarchy; (3) the export of capital as distinguished from the export of commodities acquires exceptional importance; (4) the formation of international monopolist capitalist associations which share the world among themselves and (5) the territorial division of the whole world among the biggest capitalist powers is completed. Imperialism is capitalism at that stage of development at which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital is established; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun, in which the division of all territories of the globe among the biggest capitalist powers has been completed.

<Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism, 1916, VII. Imperialism as a Special Stage of capitalism.

https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1916/imp-hsc/ch07.htm

Proletarian internationalism is a duty, no matter what you complain about, and all bourgeois states will be overthrown for the supremacy of the proletariat, no matter your opinion or your outrage.

I am actually starting to see some of your points about socialist culture et al. A lot of what passes for culture is actually foisted on us by Pedophilic Capitalists as PsyOps. It's inorganic and forced brain-washing, it's not actual real folk culture. Sort've what this person above >>2720829
if that makes sense. I am starting to see the light on some of these issues through reading and thought. But a lot of what I see is that especially for American Whites there's no pleasing Lefties. They just have this intrinsic Hate-Boner for us that is impossible to get around.
It reminds me of the very, very early days of the Alt-Right where everyone who wasn't significantly German enough in attitude couldn't be on their team. The Alt-Right eventually beat these people in the head and told them to shut the fuck up, because nursing a historionic revenge-fantasy was getting in the way of actually putting ideology into practice and accomplishing a goal.
The Left really doesn't seem to have that figured out and it is honestly one Hell of a fucking hill to get over for me.
Frankly I don't think no matter what I do I'm ever going to be decent enough for anyone in any of these circles and I'm not exactly trying to jump into direct association with anything, anyway.
Honestly I don't think I all-the-way agree with everything in Leftism anymore than I did with everything in the Right-wing. I think many people in the Left, just certain real-life issues fly right the fuck over their heads.
These people probably think Zhukov should've been never allowed to be in authority within the Red Army because one time at some point in his life he fought for the White Russians and the Tsars before that. Utter brain-dead wing-cuck thinking that's never going to create anything.

if you want to know about the abolition of the volk, i would suggest alain de benoist's "beyond human rights" (2011) which explores the legal creation of the abstract "individual". The universal reign of human rights comes in 1789 with the revolutionary "Declaration…" which is concurrent with nationalism, an absolutist construct. Volkdom and nationalism are thus also at odds, as I explain here:
>>2761062
"National Anarchism" as a reactionary movement also sees that the concept of individuality is harmful to the order of communities, and thus, a community's collective rights should have primacy (in modern jurisprudence, there is no such thing as "collective" rights of peoples, but only of individuals). So in each case, we see how law is the instrument of political action. Marx also sees that the individual is a construction of social, not natural relations; namely, the division of labour. Marx further attributes individuality to the modern wage worker, since their economic relations are based upon voluntary contraction. So then, individualism progresses as capitalism progresses, which by 1848, Marx had claimed, had already destroyed traditional custom and the institution of the family (with original reference to Thomas Carlyle's "cash nexus"). Thus, it is sufficient to claim that money as a universal abstraction, is the source of destabilisation - Aristotle calls barter "natural" and money "unnatural". The Bible calls money the "mark of the beast", and the love of money "the root of all evil".

>>2770136
Thanks for the book reccommendation. What's that flag you've got there?
I am something of a voluntaryist probably still. I'm no against collectives, but they have to be built I believe on something tangible and not forced from the top-down.
But either way, I like your takes. Thanks!

>>2770191
its the national anarchist flag:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National-anarchism
alain de benoist is also known as one of the pioneers of the "european new right" starting in the 70s, and he is the basic teacher of alexander dugin, as dugin writes in the introduction to the "fourth political theory" (2009). benoist is also known for defending a traditional and occidental form of direct democracy against "representative" government or monarchy. what is "liberal" to him is therefore confused between the democratic, since liberalism presupposes representation, and thus oligarchic guardianship over the popular democracy. theories of "true" democracy are always contentious, of course (we must also remember that universal suffrage is a 20th century concept and never existed before this, since not all citizens were enfranchised as part of the "demos").

The temporal development of capitalism consistently produces results that resemble socialism, but without the equality. Progressive deskilling and automation tends toward a situation where service positions are the only jobs available, functioning as an equalizer for the proletariat and an enricher for the bourgeoisie.

We used to build things.

Why would they need to focus an entire plan towards that? Are tou implying they perhaps, outsourced?

China is not the cheapest, not by any stretch

>>2766267
yes in many ways monopolization has already done a lot of work for socialists. If you nationalized the tope fortune 500 companies youd basically have everything already ready to run a planned socialist economy

>The temporal development of capitalism consistently produces results that resemble socialism, but without the equality
well (scientific, Marx-Lenin derived) socialism isn't about equality per se, but about winning the bulk of the class struggle (I say bulk because class struggle actually continues under Socialism, according to Lenin) and establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat that will eventually lead to a withering away of the state. It does not purport to solve, for instance, idpol struggles, or even to treat the ex-bourgeoisie and workers as equals. Under the Bolsheviks for example there was a mixture of punishment and pragmatism. By punishment I simply mean that ex-bourgeoisie and clergy, often very elderly, were made to do manual labor that they had no skill in whatsoever because they had never done it in their entire lives. But on other occasions highly educated bourgeois specialists were given collegial seats on soviet government councils because their knowledge was essential to planning the economy or winning the civil war. So even among the ex-bourgeoisie there was unequal treatment. Some got a much better deal than others.

What socialism does purport to do is to socialize what has not already been socialized. Because under capitalism, so much has already been socialized in service of capital. I actually read People's Republic Of Wal Mart right after reading Lenin's Imperialism for the first time and you'd be surprised at the amount of overlaps. Mainly they both stress the need to nationalize monopolies instead of taking the ultimately pointless approach of breaking them up only for them to merge back together after a few decades. Where Lenin differs from that book however is he stresses this process of nationalization can only take place AFTER a violent revolution, while PRWM is a book in a more social democratic tradition, which seems to suggest that reformists under the current system can nationalize these monopolies.

Is the Covid vaccine really as dangerous as people online are saying?
I took it back in 2021 (two doses) and I haven't had any known side effects, neither have anyone else I knew who took it. But all the time I hear about how it's causing people to have heart attacks/strokes and it's gonna kill everyone. I'm already a massively paranoid person, I was iffy on the vax when it came out but all I kept hearing was that covid was gonna kill everyone. It's getting to the point where I can't even sleep well because every waking moment, I'm terrified I'm just gonna drop dead.

no, retard

>Is the Covid vaccine really as dangerous as people online are saying?
Probably not, I've had no issue with it other than being one of those annoying jabs that I always have mild reactions too.

Mi completely ass-pulled take is that, while I'm sure the vaccines had plenty of corner cutting,profit seeking problems as anything done in liberalism. The focus on antivax IMO was probably a lightning-rod (red herring?) to redirect the discontent with the neoliberal management of covid, into a culture war battle inoffensive to liberal politics.

Worked wonders. Get every retard left of Trump talking about "horse paste" and suddenly no leftoids are left to critique "the largest upwards transfer of wealth since…" and so on. It all becomes about following the dumbest people you know, to have the dumbest arguments possible and "own" them in social media.

US billionaires 'have received $1.1tn windfall in Covid pandemic'

oops, ate one link
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/jan/26/us-billionaires-have-received-11tn-windfall-in-covid-pandemic

I got the Chinese vaccine because I wanted a traditional vaccine with a dead virus and not the MRNA stuff. I was counted as "unvaxxed" in my country and basically barred from public life.

So, it was a political decision, not a medical one. So you got a relatively untested vaccine, for political reasons, and that should raise all alarm bells - no matter if it was dangerous or not as this >>2747180 anon said. I know plenty of people who got dead sick after they got vaxxed (never got COVID), and I know people who got dead sick because of COVID. Governments won't disclose all the data, so I guess we'll never know.

>>2769696
All vaccines are "relatively" untested compared to the most tested vaccines, and if we'd waited 50+ years for more testing there wouldn't be much point in making one anyway. The existence of trade offs is not a conspiracy.
