The most evil company in the world is up to something sinister… Again…

What could they possibly be up to? Why does Google need to fold proteins? Why did Google want to release a middle eastern super disease inside countless mosquitos in all western countries when mosquitos are known to kill the most humans globally out of all diseases?

What’s the point of knowing leftist theory or political philosophy when we can simply base our politics on the notion of radical empathy?

Theory and philosophy are worthless and meaningless but empathy is something anyone can understand. It’s elitist as fuck to base your political aspirations on some grand abstract ideals since this ultimately creates hierarchies of intelligence because not everyone can grasp it. Yet empathy is a universal concept. Every political goal we seek has no reason to be done in the name of “Marxism” or “anarchism” but simply out of empathy, collective care for the weakest and most vulnerable of our world. It is only a politics of vulnerability that can ever be truly inclusive.

Instead of looking to establish some grand utopia, our politics need to be based on being trauma-informed. Trump, Epstein, covid and Palestine all gave us collective CPTSD. Radical leftist politics should be primarily concerned with HEALING. Likewise, we have now become aware of the purely eugenicist nature of capitalism. The only way to stop and prevent eugenics is through empathy, not through some grand theory like Marxism.

Literally everyone is complaining about the lack of empathy and support in the world today. It should be our primary job to bring empathy back so that the most vulnerable and marginalized identities are allowed full human dignity and the right to be their authentic selves without fear of eradication. Your bullshit Marxist philosophy can’t accomplish that.

the combined share of global gdp by the US and EU fell by almost half since 2005 and continues to decline
Many relatively underdeveloped thirdie nations are taking an increasingly dominant positions in the global economy and trade and continue to rise, While former juggernauts like the UK and Japan are stagnating, Less western-subjugated governments popping up everywhere, Even in Africa many impoverished nations will be solidly middle income in a generation if their current economic growth rate continues into the future, Less warfare than before on the continet in general.

The global north watching their importance in the world stage diminish and ability to control other more impoverished nations……How do you think their governemnts are going to react?

More nakedly imperialistic and unjustifiably aggressive policies?
Are such reasons tied to some recent US actions e.g. Iran and Venezuela?

I think I finally know Trumps ideology and its called Neo-Bonapartism

Bonapartism describes a state that achieves relative autonomy from any single class by claiming to stand above class conflict entirely ruling personalistically through plebiscitary mass appeal and charismatic authority rather than through a party program or a coherent class coalition, while materially serving capital's interests without capital directly controlling the state apparatus. Bonaparte's actual regime combined: personalist rule bypassing parliamentary/institutional mediation, appeals to a cross-class "people" against both organized labor and the traditional elite, military prestige projects and adventurism as legitimation (the whole Second Empire foreign policy pattern), and state-directed economic development (Haussmann's Paris, railway financing) alongside crushing independent labor organization. That's close to a checklist match for Trump: personalist rule, state economic direction, military/security emphasis as legitimating spectacle, hostility to organized labor and the left, appeal over the heads of institutions to a plebiscitary mass base.

Bonapartism in the Marxist tradition is specifically theorized as arising when class conflict reaches a stalemate where no single class can rule directly, so an autonomous executive arbitrates from above, critically, without needing to make durable concessions to labor the way a genuinely hegemonic class-coalition government would. Gramsci's extension of the concept (he uses “Caesarism” interchangeably) is explicitly about a strong personalist arbiter stepping in during a legitimacy crisis of the ordinary political process, offering national/military grandeur and personal charisma as substitutes for programmatic concession. That's the theoretical explanation for exactly why Trumpism is anti social welfare while pro military spending Bonapartist/Caesarist rule doesn't need to buy off labor, because it's explicitly a crisis arbitration form that draws its legitimacy from personal charisma and national mythology rather than from a stable coalition requiring material payoffs.

So: Bonapartism (Marx's term) or Caesarism (Gramsci's near-synonym) is the actual name for 19th-century style personalist strongman, holistic state-directed military-industrial policy, minimal welfare concession, legitimated by charisma and national grandeur rather than institution-building or class-coalition bargaining.

I understand communism okay maybe I understand the appeal, a society organized differently than the current capitalist might be at the very least interesting to take a look at, the only thing I don’t understand and I have been lurking here and other leftist spaces for a long time now mind you is why are commodities bad?

>be attractive, middle class doctor in Argentina
>abandon your comfortable life to become a revolutionary
>play a key part in the Cuban Revolution
>instead of joining the government, your start traveling all over Africa and Latin America supporting guerillas
>die in battle and become a symbol of rebellion worldwide

I’ve seen liberals, be it those that support Palestine or Israel, come to unison when it comes to giving phull sapport to the Ukraine. Why? What gives?

Now, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that for the US government Georgia 2008 wasn’t the breaking line for the American empire, so much as the Ukraine 2014, simply because the Ukraine has far more resources in terms of arable land, industrial capacity, and minerals.

But what’s the excuse for the shitlib? Because those seem like ad hoc reasoning to justify a preconceived reason more than anything. Ofc the average shitlib is propagandized into supporting the Globalist American Empire (GAE) and whatever diktats it makes. Still, I think it’s worth asking how convenient it is that they’re so passionate about a country that is coincidentally one rich of resources (or illusion thereof, as some sceptics might say).

Indeed, shitlibs like Corey believe in the infinite goodness of the American empire, and so they’ll be the most conservative defenders of the status quo even if they won’t define themselves as such, with their sole issue with Trump being based on aesthetics more than anything else. Reminds you of anything?

Now, as Marx denotes, ideology and idealism often serve to mask what are in practice class struggles and other material realities. In this case, “western democracy capitalism” to a lib may sound like a just coherent idea, but in reality it’s little more than idealistic smokescreen for an imperialist war waged by the NATO imperialistic war machine against Russia, with obvious involvement from the cross-continental military cabal and arms industries. Whether you see it as a conflict between a proletarian and bourgeois powers, or intra-porkie bourgeois infighting at the expense of the global prole, it’s for you to decide. Nonetheless, much of the western propaganda about the Ukraine is clearly ideological crap.

For Eurocrats, there’s the fact that the war serves both to offset an European recession, and as a rallying cry for EU unity at a time when Europe is more disunited than ever. Not even anti-immigration serves as a proper glue as immigration is largely irrelevant to eastern Euros what with already having net low migration (both in and out of country) couplePost too long.
