/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Why does everyone in leftist circles hate him now?

I remember when he had a whole cult around him in the early 2010s during Occupy and was a huge cheerleader for the Rojava revolution in the years that followed. His book Debt The First 5000 Years was a huge hit (and I mean HUGE, in the sense that you'd see it sold in both anarchist infoshops and mainstream booksellers like Barnes). He was instrumental in rewriting the historical narrative of class formation and the development of money and economic systems. A lot of Marxists didn't like that but they had zero means of debunking his work. When he died in 2020 there was an outpouring of love from leftists all over the world, for an anarchist intellectual who meant so much to people.

But now, I never see Graeber mentioned, ever. The only times I see him or his work brought up is to heavily chastise it, or attack him for his anarchist politics. Tankies hate him but can never prove him wrong. I have to ask why he's become nothing but a footnote in the history of leftist thought, especially when he was so celebrated 15 years ago.

I am in a Nationalist Organization, but I am so tired of it. Our Previous Local Branch Leader has left temporarly and now has family affairs, so we are stuck with a Reactionary Capitalist Petit Bourzoa, who is nothing like a proper Third Positionist ought to be. He doesn't care about the Organizations Ideology or Ideals, isn't up to date with what the rest of the Branches are Doing, Is a complete Hedonist and Gangsterist, He is lazy and passes responsibillity to others, including me, he takes bad decisions and even took a lighter from me. I don't even know he got this position. I am the most active in my branch and have even done theory lectures (which the leadership now wants to take it away because "nobody is going to read the books"), and have been thrice as much time as him in it. We got a new temporary branch leader, who I have better relations with and he is far better, but because of Personal Affairs he didn't have time, so this Degen took over. The only reason He got it I suspect, whilst I have been sidelined by the Organization leadership again and again, is because I am an Autist with no Great Facial Hair, with a quite annoying voice, a thin posture, are too theoretical (even though I am the one suggesting most actions, which then get sidelined by leadership) and come from a Leftist Family. Not to mention, I have no chance with the organization's Women. I feel so sad, seeing my Local University Branch of Leftists (with simillar views to that of my parents) organizing, making speeches, doing activism and syndical work, probably reading theory and also getting into fights with ANTIFA and Tankie types (i.e. the stuff I want to do, under my nationalist syndicalist and communtarian worldview). They all seem very friendly, instead of the 90IQ normalfags I am stuck with. Plus, the Girls are very Friendly and Nice and Pretty, and I could probably get one as my girlfriend. And I would probably be one of the most masculine members of my local branch, instead of being viewed as a weird alien creature which everyone laughs at behind the scenes. They would probably be compassionate about me being an Autist, instead of making fun of me for being Weird. And my activism would probably be rewarded, instead of being seen as me being a follower. My Parents would also be proud of me, instead of thinking I am an idiotic fascist loser. I could also publically critisize all the Cuckservatives, Ancoms, and MLs that plague my university.

So say a Marxist-Leninist economy has all of the stuff important to the state nationalized and operating under scientific planning, it tries to give the basic needs of life like employment and housing to everyone as possible, but there's additionally a private sector for commodity circulation because trying to micromanage every small business to the smallest detail is silly in general. The private sector is heavily regulated to prevent them from subverting the rest of society, and also taxed to help pay for the rest of society.

So what exactly is bad about this generally speaking? Especially on a neoliberal Earth where the international elite, outside of china, can flee and go anywhere and has no accountability? The strategy of dengist economics has produced the same results that people like Mao and Stalin wanted out of their countries like mass industrialization, electrification, and prosperity but at the same time holding their own societal elites accountable.

>“The age of Willkommenskultur is over, the era of mass deportations has begun,” commented the Sweden Democrats party, whose MEP Charlie Weimers played a central role as ECR’s shadow rapporteur.
>In a rare show of unity on the European Right, the directive was adopted not only by the national conservative groups (PfE, ECR, and ESN) but also the EPP, which votes together with the leftist parties in the vast majority of cases.
>Most importantly, the new law will introduce a mutual recognition and enforcement obligation between member states regarding deportation orders, meaning migrants cannot circumvent return decisions by moving to a different EU country and restarting the process. A return order in one country will legally count as a valid order in all of them.
>Another important point is the introduction of third-country return hubs, making it possible for member states to externalize return procedures by sending migrants to secure facilities outside EU territory to wait for the end of the process, ensuring they won’t escape implementation once the paperwork’s done.

Elbit factory targeted in Palestine Action raid was set to deliver 'immediate shipment of drones' to Israel, court hears
Five defendants - Qesser Zuhrah, 21, Zahra Farooque, 26, Kamran Ahmed, 29, Heba Muraisi, 31, and Liam Mullany, 34 - are facing charges of criminal damage and violent disorder at Woolwich Crown Court in connection with the break-in at an Elbit Systems factory in Filton, near Bristol, on 6 August 2024. Giving evidence this week, Zuhrah, who said she helped coordinate the action, told jurors that she had first heard of the Filton site when others in the group raised concerns "about an immediate shipment of weapons" set to leave the factory and that, as a result, the action had been "speedtracked".

El Salvador will send over 2,000 soldiers to Haiti to rescue missing personnel and support ​anti-gang security operations, its foreign ministry said on Wednesday, while Haiti's electoral council ‌postponed planned presidential elections to next year.

Venezuelan Gov’t Demands Return of UK-Held Gold, Eyes Production Increase
The freeze on the reserves, currently valued at around US $4 billion, dates back to the United Kingdom’s refusal to recognize Nicolás Maduro’s 2018 reelection. A year later, opposition leader Juan Guaidó formally asked British authorities to prevent the Venezuelan government from accessing the gold. During a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rodríguez described the ongoing freeze as a theft.

Do you guys genuinely criticize Social Democracy? Because to me it doesn't seem like you people understand why Social Democracy is bad.

When the US and Europe adopted social democratic policies in the past, it led to genuine improvement in the standard of living of workers. It also led to the complete collapse of revollutionary communism, and even the communist parties themselves became SocDem in all but their name.

And then what happened? Everyone lived happily ever after? No, obviously when the RoP started hurting, all that was clawed back. And the bigger and more important criticism is that we don't want to put a bandaid on capitalism in the first place, we want to abolish capitalism entirely.

That's why communists of the past criticized social democracy. It was not an easy thing to criticize. We had to actively criticize people who were making genuine improvements to worker's lives, and that made real communism unpopular.

And now we are in 2026 with a minor resurgence in social democracy. People post Lassalle memes, but what I want to know is what are your honest thoughts?

Do you really have the guts to criticize social democrats at a time when the capitalist class is almost universally hated? Do you have the principles and persistence to explain why social democracy is bad and are you capable of explaining to the workers what communism is actually about?

Just want to hear your honest thoughts.
