Lefty music nerds like Fantano are retarded. Drake is openly WOKE, hates Trump and support Palestine. He's made too many pop bangers to count. Kendrick is some goofy "conscious" vagueposting black isrealite lyricist that hasnt made a good album for a decade and think way too much of himself. His drake diss also sucked he was calling him a pedo for no reason as if he never fucked barely legal girls himself that hypocrite.
Most of his haters are clearly acting out of ressentiment because Drake is too normie and prosocial both in his music and as a person.

how easily morons fall for this celeb worship shit as long as they think theyre doing it for moral reasons, like kendrick hates drake but has no issue hanging out with other pedos or sexual abusers lol

Yes the Party switch happened, I don’t like the Democratic Party but it did change from Conservatism to Social-Democracy then to Centrism. Thats why the Republicans use the Color red and Democrats Blue

When was the Democratic party ever to the Left of where it is now? Face it: It's always sucked.

I'm sorry, but this is false. This color scheme only became an entrenched concept in like, 2000.

haSSan piKKKer and mamdani are NOT communists they dont even claim to be they call themselves "socialists"

>>2820687
also being a class traitor isnt always bad infact marx also came from a somewhat wealthy family and so did engels

I feel like you have to be really fucking dumb to not understand how people can fight against their "class interests". Human beings are material creatures but we're not robots. We have independent wills and can form opinions and make decisions based on the information available. We also have something called empathy. Not everyone is automatically a 100% selfish cunt. Some people actually want to improve things.

>>2819212
It's basically a strawman on his part. Marxists don't pretend to know the exact way history goes. Lenin and Stalin were writing on how an actual socialist state deals with progress in the technological and social dimensions extensively. He was free to polemicize but chose not to because it would compromise the typical anglo way of looking at the world:
>you can never take action to improve your country because how can you justify doing anything that has a destructive compoment
>us starving the population of Ireland to death is just the natural order of things, we didn't do anything teehee
and even then, the English state was involved in a lot of things like forcing vagrants into the factories, but it's still the natural order somehow.
It's being passive aggressive on a worldview level. The choice is between the capitalist class that is fundamentally incapable of planning and acting as a cohesive unit for any extended period of time and the working class that is capable of that - first through its party, then without it. We have seen what happens when his people are given total freedom and not even the anglos themselves seem to be thrilled at what happened.

complete pseud, the paradox isnt even a paradox if it has a seemingly convenient solution. its him and probably arendt that held back the social science atleast half a century

>>2819212
>Historical determinism to predict future

I'm frankly too lazy to write an actual effort post, but the fundamental problem is that Popper has a tendency to:

<1. consider "pseudoscience" (i.e., unprovable claims) to be false
<2. treat Hegelian historicism as unfalsifiable and definite facts about the future
Neither of which are true. Marx isn't making a historicism. He's not saying that communism has to emerge with certainty in the post-capitalist world order. He's simply saying that the end of political development ends with communism.

Think of it this way: the state and its development change because of multiple conditions (a revolution, class conflict, instability, conquest, etc.). Now, when we look at the state, we can see that it mostly serves as a means to reproduce capitalist reified relations, to ensure property for a specific group of people.

As such, when the conditions that make the state change disappear, political development ceases. This isn't to say that event X can't happen under communism, or that regression is impossible, but that the conditions which create change in the first place (namely, class conflict) disappear. Marx radicalizes this idea by positing that the state, as it exists, only serves the purpose of protecting the class interests of the bourgeoisie, and that, as such, if communism does arise, the lack of class distinction will lead to the withering of the state.

Now, the reason why Marx claims that communism will likely arise is simply from a sociological standpoint: the globalization of the bourgeoisie and the creation of a capitalist hegemonic mode of production has converged toward the establishment of only two classes, the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.
For instance, a feudal society like France in the Middle Ages had many classes and centers of power: it had the Church, the landed gentry, the bourgeoisie, the robe gentry (state admins and the king), the peasants, etc. Only one of them took power, leaving the rest to be subject to the now bourgeois power.

‘Biggest Wealth Divide in Modern History’: Graphic Shows Shocking Reality of US Economy
“Absolutely incredible,” commented Kobeissi Letter. “Over the last six years, the S&P 500 has risen +130% while US Consumer Sentiment has collapsed by -55%, to its lowest since data began in 1952. We are witnessing the formation of the biggest wealth divide in modern history.” Kobeissi Letter produced the graphic one day after the University of Michigan’s latest survey found consumer sentiment hitting the lowest level on record.

A New Orleans attorney was punished for exposing a clergy abuser
When an attorney representing survivors of a clergy abuse scandal that drove the city’s archdiocese into bankruptcy learned about Hart’s past, he took steps to get him removed from the Brother Martin high school, an all-boys institution that draws dance team members from a girls-only college preparatory school. A federal judge presiding over the church’s bankruptcy fined the lawyer, Richard Trahant, more than $400,000.

California Gov. Newsom declares state of emergency for Orange County chemical leak as officials search for solutions
It was previously believed that the temperatures were cooling inside the Garden Grove industrial tank, at GKN Aerospace, estimated to contain 7,000 gallons of methyl methacrylate. However, after crews embarked on a risky operation inside the danger zone, they learned temperatures were increasing at a rate of about one degree per hour. It was at 90 degrees on Friday night after starting the day at 77.

Fatah’s Eighth Conference: A Stark Expression of the Defeat of the Comprador Class and the Fragmentation of the Movement
The division within Fatah is not merely an organizational dispute or a difference in viewpoints, as some attempt to market it, but rather a reflection of the collapse of an entire project founded on the illusion of the “independent state” and the Oslo Accords. It is the project of a comprador Palestinian class that stole all Palestinian institutions, seized the keys to the prisons and the seal of the Palestine Liberation Organization, and whose functional role is to entrench the reality of occupation while securing its own interests and privileges. The movement that once led the “Palestinian national project” has, under the dominance of a parasitic stratum, individual leadership, and bureaucratic security apparatuses, been transformed into a crisis-ridden framework devoid of legitimacy and national direction, disconnected from the pulse of the Palestinian street and from the liberation struggle taking place on the ground. It is even disconnected from Fatah’s own base and supporters. The loud popular question today is: where is the movement while the Palestinian people are subjected to a genocide?

Congress Is Trying to Preempt State Robotruck Regulations
After months of industry lobbying, House lawmakers inserted a provision into a must-pass transportation funding bill that would block states’ from setting safety standards for self-driving trucks, buses, and other commercial vehicles — despite mounting calls for tougher safeguards. On Sunday, House lawmakers announced a deal on a congressional funding package for surface transportation and highways, which would determine policy and spending for the country’s roads, bridges, trains, and highways for the next five years. Buried in the one-thousand-page legislation was a provision that would grant a longtime wish of the autonomous vehicle industry: override state autonomous commercial vehicle regulations and instead install a light-touch national framework allowing nearly unrestricted expansion of self-driving trucks across the nation’s highways and roads. According to the Truck Safety Coalition, an advocacy group of trucking accident victims and survivors, the proposal sacrifices “commoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Always found this image funny, they took a lot of liberties with the events referenced.

>1242
>Battle on the Ice
This one is fair enough, the Livonians had their ass handed to them by the Novgorodians. The Livonian order was ruled by Prussians but Novgorod as a precursor to Russia is a bit more unclear. Generally we'd consider the Grand Principality of Moscow to be the precursor to modern Russia and they actually conquered Novgorod… I give it a pass, though.

>1558
>Siege of Dorpat in the Livonian War
This one is kind of bullshit. It is true that the Russians conquered the Bishopric of Dorpat here, but does it really count when this was NOT the end of the war? The Livonian War did result in the dissolution of the Livonian order as a result of a Russian invasion, but Russia would ultimately lose the war. It started because Russia didn't want the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth to take control of Livonia, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, Sweden and Denmark-Norway beat Russia and partitioned Livonia amongst themselves.

>1760
>Raid on Berlin in the Seven Year's War
This one is also sort of bullshit. Yes, it did result in an Austro-Russian occupation of Berlin and was a huge failure for the Prussians but the Seven Year's War was not a Russian victory. The Russians initially sided with the French and fought against the Prussians but then Elizabeth of Russia died and was replaced with her retarded chud Prussiaboo Nephew Peter III in January of 1762 causing Russia to switch sides to support Prussia even though they were at death's door. Then he was deposed by Catherine the Great and Russia exited the war. Not exactly a big Russian win.

You're missing the point. The point was that these were defeats of Prussian/Western invaders, which they were. Obviously there's more detail to it, but it's a propaganda poster, not a History essay.
>The Ukrainians beat the Germans here
Sorry to burst your bubble but the Ukrainians prior to the delusional nationalization of the Banderites, have never been considered a separate ethnicity from Russians, especially considering the Kievan RUS. It's like saying that various Mongol tribes aren't actually Mongols because they had mildly different dialects and local customs.
>It was also the Soviet Union and not "Russia"

Now keep seething and coping that the failing Ruzzian empire will collapse again like it did in 1991 and will lose even more of the colonies it stole

how the conversation started:
>A communists has literally never suffered a set back for their ideology in professional or academic life.
how the goalposts shifted:
>It makes perfect sense if you think anyone left of ᴉuᴉlossnW is a communist.

So the implication is what? Communists were never oppressed, but if they were, they weren't TRVE communists but merely "to the left of ᴉuᴉlossnW"? Now slow down for a minute and ask yourself why the bourgeoisie would have such little tolerance for communism that they would ruthlessly accuse anyone "to the left of ᴉuᴉlossnW" of being communist?

What did Marx say abut the phenomenon?

<Every demand of the simplest bourgeois financial reform, of the most ordinary liberalism, of the most formal republicanism, of the most shallow democracy, is simultaneously castigated as an "attempt on society" and stigmatized as "socialism".

• Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (1852)
  
  
  

So even in Marx's time, the bourgeoisie were already prepared to accuse each other of "Socialism". What does this tell us about the bourgeoisie, their priorities, and how they regard threats? It tells us they are paranoid, and that if they are willing to persecute one another for "socialism" they are definitely willing to persecute actual socialists, actual communists, anything they view as a threat.

I'm not a free speech absolutist but I do believe in being able to criticize the government and hold it accountable. Even if you support a government's political project unconditionally, mistakes can still happen and bad actors can still exploit the system. You need critics and whistleblowers to keep the government honest.
What I don't support is capitalists being able to bankroll propaganda outlets to brainwash people into opposing their best interests. In particular the US Supreme Court ruling that money is a form of speech is fucking retarded and evil.
The best argument in favor of suppressing speech is that it's insulation from capitalist manipulation. If you stop the capitalist manipulation in the first place then free speech is no longer a problem, it's just individual citizens giving their honest feedback based on their own material needs.

What is a right made of? What is its real presence in the world? If it is a condition set up by a set of institutions, how can it be a "universal" condition (since they say "universal right") if said institutions are not universal in themselves, but partial to the interest of some classes against other ones? But the class which has these institutions in their hands will say that the conditions they establish through them are "universal". This is how the bourgeoise recluted all other classes into their revolution, by presenting their own conditions for social domination as universal, abstract principles applying to all. And they are not abstract because the bourgeoise has an inherently abstractive conduct. The rights they promulgate must be abstract precisely because they must flatten the real concrete conditions which would show their mere particularity. So they'll talk about "universal" free speech, when in actuality, the whole socio-economic structure only allows for the owners of large media enterprises to really promulgate any sort of relevant "speech". So you are all free to speak but only those with property can effectively do so. So wonder not that communist see these kind of "rights" only strategically, since their nature is a bourgeoise ideological strategy in the first place

The wanted to reveal the findings of the Venona report, which included a list of several senators and congresmen being part of secret communist groups. Plenty of the people on the list were later revealed to be communists working for the USSR, but nothing happened to them. Mccarty was hounded by the mainstream press, the Mccarty affair shows that US institutions actively aided marxists. Literally no-one the left suffered any consequences, and there is no evidence of them being negatively impacted.
