Can we get a Neocon breadpill thread going?

What exactly was Neoconservatism and how exactly did it originate? Was it the philosophy of Leo Strauss? Was it former Trotskyists like Irving Kristol? If so, why did these ex-Trots flip and become right-wingers? Politically, it started in America with the Reagan presidency, so what exactly were Reagan's political influences? Also, given that its biggest proponents were Jews, did it have any Talmudic or Kabbalistic element to it?

Basically, sum up whatever Neoconservatism is. Also, Straussian Neocons formed coalitions with the Religious Right and free market neoliberals despite all three groups having contradictory ideologies. Why?

Was 9/11 orchestrated by Israel?

meow. meow. meow. meow.

Why did marxist-liberalism fail? Literally 95% of marxist-leninist states all shat themselves and died and modern ml's havent learned anything at all from the failures and spend all their time seething about trotsky and simping for the capitalist class of non-western countries.

So give the fact US invasion of Greenland went from provocative joke to a realistic possibility, what are the chances of European governments getting their shit together?

How can a urban insurgent group surivive?
The majority of insurgencies are now in urban centres instead or rural ones, such as northern ireland and gaza.

So.. how can a urban insurgency surivive in the united states? Or similar countries? Can only decentrailized cells funcition since leadership would be capped easily, or can a full group temporaily seize small portions of a city, or cause disruptions?

which is more true, take 1 or take 2?

>take 1

>being a NEET is based if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are sucking it dry and making it collapse

>being a NEET is cringe if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are making it weaker against imperialism.

<take 2

<being a NEET is cringe if you are in an imperialist country, because that means you are increasing the appetite of treatlerism and forcing the global south to work harder for your treats

<being a NEET is based if you are in a peripheral country because that means you are depriving the imperial core treatlerites of their slave labor

I am not getting into whether the CMoP (Chinese mode of production) is AES or any kind of state-capitalist combination (the preferred term would be state-socialism, if you are a Leninist/Bukharinist (Lenin's theory of state and imperialism are actually Bukharin's, but I digress). What I am getting into is what the CMoP signifies in world-history.

Some month ago I read Laussen's The Long Transition and, withholding a genuine critique, I realized that revolutions are not singular instances in time, where there's a state before and after, but it usually takes many decades for a revolution - the time it takes for it to ember, kindle, start a prairie fire - and many years after the revolution, the period of proletarian dictatorship and socialist (re)construction.

It also takes time for people's consciousness to change, because they need to adjust to the new mode of production. But I think most communists agree that this part is the most difficult part because it takes time to change petty-bourgeois anti-communist consciousness so deeply rooted almost everywhere.

In this sense, what China signifies is an actual possibility of communism. It matters not that the cat is black or white, as long as there is a negative other that the bourgeois order is forced to defined itself by way of antagonism/contraposition.

As the imperialist order rots further, this anti-communism will become more and more obvious. At the same time, it will also be completely undeniable that the CMoP works while the patriotic anti-communist system doesn't. This would conditionally get people to achieve some form of class consciousness if any kind of communist party is ready to go for ideological mobilization and mass agitation.

The PRC signals communism as actuality. This is the point. Socialism is not a thing of the past, or a utopia. It exists here and now, dirty-semitic and this-worldly, and this too is a step forward.

I know this is going to sound fucked, and I'm not happy about saying it, but I'm starting to think that the only way the American left is going to survive is if the "Third Turdist" wing, the Maoists, the anarchists, the black bloc types gets crushed under the weight of a terrorism designation. and the best possible thing any normal level headed leftist can do is do not get involved, don't even vocally support them and turn them into martyrs. Espescially the anarchists, why would marxist-leninists who follow the actual communist international get involved in a civil war on behalf of them and other deviationists? And I hate that I'm even typing this but sometimes logic needs to trump feels.

Look, I've been in leftist spaces for years. I've read the theory. I've done the organizing. But these people are not serious. They treat revolution like a LARP. They assault random civilians. They smash windows and call it "propaganda of the deed.". They celebrate mentally ill shooters. They dress as hamas and celebrate the death of US servicemen in the streets. And then they wonder why normal workers think we're all insane.

The Islamist militant groups GWOT has been fighting for decades are hardened, disciplined, and ideologically driven by something that tells them they are rewarded in the next life. These anarchist and Maoist street fighters? They're not. They're soft. They're mostly middle class kids with face tattoos and oppositional defiance disorder and they can't even handle a 90 hour work week without quitting let alone the full weight of an anti terror crack down. their rehtoric is vietcong, their balls are the size of chestnuts. Once the GWOT energy gets redirected onto them once the feds start treating antifa like they treated Al Qaeda these people will fold like a lawn chair. They don't have the training, the discipline, or the popular support to survive a sustained crackdown. Now sure some of them are actually competent or smart people but those people are constantly drug down by the normal base of twitter maoists and tumblr anarchists.

And here's the part I really hate to admit, Trump might actually be doing real leftists a favor by going after them. Because right now, these people are the single biggest obstacle to the majority of Americans accepting socialism. Every time a normie sees a masked anarchist smashing a Starbucks window, that's another vote for the far right. Every time a Maoist calls a union worker a "labor aristocrPost too long.

Socialist commodity production/socialism in one country is inherently necessary for countries outside the imperial core. What's the alternative? It redistributes all profit into the well-being of the population, and the more countries join this system (a la USSR), the more it can be progressively self-abolished. This is better than the capitalism under a red cloak you see in China or Vietnam.

I can understand criticisms of this theory, but no alternative has ever been able to convince me there's anything better. So for now Hoxhaists or Maoists make the most sense to me. Leftkkkoms seem to not give a shit about the imperialised countries and just affirm revolution in the first world before such a thing can be implemented elsewhere, which history has taught us is not how it works.

Feel free to convince me otherwise, though.
