guillionaire, n.
Pronunciation: /ˌɡɪljəˈnɛə(ɹ)/, /ˌɡiːjəˈnɛə(ɹ)/
Etymology: A portmanteau formed from guillotine n. + trillionaire n. (after billionaire n., millionaire n.).

Definition
  1. Slang (chiefly derogatory, political).
A hyper-wealthy individual, specifically a trillionaire or multi-billionaire, whose immense wealth is viewed by critics as exploitative, unethical, or a direct symptom of extreme societal inequality. The term is heavily associated with anti-capitalist rhetoric and populist movements advocating for the radical redistribution of wealth.
  1. Historical/Symbolic.
An individual targeted for economic or social ruin (metaphorically "executed") due to their extreme financial status, often referencing the historical use of the guillotine during the French Revolution against the aristocracy.

Quotations
• 2021 Twitter 14 May: "If the wealth gap keeps widening like this, we won't just have billionaires anymore. The age of the guillionaire is coming, and it won't end well for them."
• 2023 Jacobin Style Mag. Oct. 42: "The tech moguls of today have transcended ordinary greed; they are guillionaires building private rockets while the rest of the world burns."
• 2025 Radical Economics Q. III. 115: "Taxing the guillionaire class out of existence is no longer a radical position; it is a baseline requirement for democratic survival."

The strong Sino-Israeli relationship should bury the illusions that many leftists have about the PRC’s purported socialism. With the transition to apolitical, business-first developmentalism during the Reform and Opening Up, the PRC decisively turned its back on the history of Third World solidarity and the Palestinian cause. The orientalist socialist fantasy and an excessive fixation on the past do not bring us closer to liberation but instead obscures the ongoing forms of collaboration that needs close scrutiny and unambiguous callout.

Palestinians should get it through their thick skulls that building apartheid infrastructure, trading resources and sharing dual use tech that facilitates their genocide is good because Chanya has red flag

Privileged ahh idealists don't want to be genocided for the people's capitalists

china will give all this stuff to palestine eventually



 

Just rediscovered this piece of Ben Garrison worthy drivel. It accordingly needs a Lefty makeover. Can anyone good with video editing help?

I'd suggest that Soviet victory monument as the female voice, include Melenchon and Corbyn as male voices, the rising darkness is a porky lol

it is soy to even care about this slop



 

Anarkids come out AGAINST accessible high-speed rail system.

Please tell me again how anarchism isn’t simply petit-bourgeois rebellion?

They are calling a project that will greatly increase accessibility and reduce the car and oil monopoly “anti-indigenous” or whatever. How can anyone take these people seriously?

Reform isn't inherently bad in itself. The problem is that liberalism wants to redirect worker power so that it only seeks ever shifting reforms and never achieves socialism. It's just a carrot they dangle in front of people. A carrot they can move closer or pull away at will in order to keep workers in line.
As for the Landback people, once you pull away all the post-colonialist academic talk, they are just nationalists. And if they ever get their way they will just stab communists in the back exactly the same way most nationalist movements did in the 20th century. Fundamentally they only see leftists as useful idiots.

the biggest obsticle for anarchists is not the state but rather the fact that they are just really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really reallyreally really really really really realy lame

Why does the left not focus on cooperativization rather than nationalization of industries? If we did manage to replace every company with a cooperative, would that not still be some kind of proto-Socialist position, albeit with markets still intact?

by this logic the CIA is the ultimate revolutionary theorist since they have started hundreds of color revolutions.

Hi, guys

I would like to ask you guys to go to EU Inc. proposal page in "Have your say" portal to ask Commission to include cooperatives in their regulation. Here is all you need to know why that's important and to make it easier for you to write your feedback and provide sources too, anyway two studies (1)(2) commissioned by EU identified these problems with the existing SCE (European cooperative society) regulation:

1. High capital requirement to start-up (30000 euros) which is absurd for a cooperatives which rely on labor and frequently struggle to access capital

2. Complicated registration procedures since all 27 member states have their own ways to register SCEs, frequently goverment institutions have no idea how to do it, for example one study references a situation where registration took a whole year, and there is no mechanism to notify other member states then SCE is registered in one state

3. Furthermore in order to register SCE members must come from at least 2 different countries which is arbitrary because all member state citizens are automatically EU citizens so it just needlessly makes it harder to register one

4. Little reason to use SCE legal form then national cooperative forms are much more convenient and can be used to operate cross-borders anyway and little knowledge and visibility that SCEs eve exist

Now proposed EU Inc. regulation would fix LITERALLY all of the problems mentioned above because:

1. It has very low capital requirement, so far the proposal only asks for 100 euros i.e. 300 times less than to set up a SCE

>markets still intact
"Markets" is just another euphemism for capitalism. So called "coops" under capitalism are not what the name suggests as differences to other types of private commercial businesses such as shareholding are in practice miniscule and merely formal. In order to not get crushed by commercial market competitors privately owned "coops" must generate revenue, transform goods and products into commodities, accumulate capital and constantly expand just like any other capitalist. After a certain time however an operative threshold is reached and the effects of the falling rate of profit might kick in noticably, making maintaining revenue & growth more difficult. So in order to stay in business private commercial coops are bound to employ the usual bourgeois methods that is degrade product quality while the price is increased, cut r & d costs, degrade working conditions, cut wages of employees and "invest" in imperialist activities of the bourgeois state.
A "nationalized" coop under socialism or communism works entirely different, because socialist and communist economies are based on demand, not on the desire of bourgeois individuals to limitless hoard while preventing others from accessing and distributing resources for common purposes most efficiently.
"More coops" is pseudo-socialist liberal hogwash, it will change nothing substantially as the capitalist mode of production remains untouched.

How do communists prevent capital flight? It seems like the capitalists will make the economy scream if you organize trade unions and put socialists in power. I suppose sanctions are a similar issue at a larger scale if you've smashed the state.

Through incentives for foreign capital. They will not care if you give them good deal. and national capital cannot fly away because the conditions of profitability it's in the nation. If no revolution they prolly going to fund psyop, opposition, corruption, etc rather than just leave

>>2839431
4e you give them low taxes for 30 years plus other bonuses in exchange for local investment and local acquisition of shit and local funding of R&D and university and shit like that through a government promotion of some stupid bullshit

explain what you mean by prevention

>>2839422
Their argument was easier when property was mostly a physical thing, but the digitization of the economy has made this no longer the case; it's much harder to confiscate the latter than the former. Plus you have few options if your "skilled" labor force decides to emigrate (what are you going to do, create another iron curtain? Forget the impact on public opinion, it didn't work before and won't work now, but even if it did it would require a tiny country with a totalitarian regime like NK - aka not socialism at all, but Bonapartism), or when you need goods that require access to the international market (again, autarky doesn't work - even NK is dependent on China and Russia to access goods), the creation of a black market that undermines your official one, or just simply if you face foreign pressure in the form of sanctions, a denial of credit, or other means of financial isolation. This is why the need for an international coalition in order to overthrow an international system and move beyond it becomes apparent: history doesn't move backwards.

Look, I used to be deep in the third internationale scene, councilcoms, leftcoms, NEP diehards, the whole united front of 3rd internationalist trash. Spent years on barricades in bavaria that went nowhere but to long jail terms and isolated comrades, who piss workers off.

Here's what nobody wants to say these movements don't actually want liberation. They want perpetual grievance. They'll talk about establishing a socialism in one country blah fucking blah but have you noticed how these never seems to include any plan for what happens after? How the only solution they offer is the destruction of the only social democracy in the region? Germany would become socialist before a bolshevik run russia would.

I'm just saying, i know the weimar regime is fucked, and yes social-democracy has a bad history, but ask yourself who benefits when the left fragments into a dozen purity spirals. Ask yourself why "build the productive forces" gets chanted louder than any concrete demand for soviet power or negotiated production. the third internationalists want open borders in the west but hard authoritarian borders in any region that acts as a hostile force to the west. Some of us are tired of romanticizing resistance that only ever produces more corpses and chauvinist nationalism.

you idiots want to come to terms with reality start by admitting your heroes are running a dangerous disgusting grift.

Yeah no shit lol. Career loonies love to go to normal one issue protests with a soviet flag making us all look stupid.

Just dumb it down, take the method of the right say shit like we will make sure you get more money, addressing climate change will make more jobs and more money. Take the slurs the capitalists use against migrants and use landlord specific slurs instead.

Keep it short and sweet no ten thousand hours of 19th century theory.

You guys don’t fine it weird how this man became the world's first trillionaire and then you go to his social media and he spends all day reposting videos of minorities committing crimes, anti-immigration propaganda, etc.?

It’s like he knows his ass is on the line and he's desperate to redirect the anger of the masses to another target. The worst part is that it works.

listen just because the guy that orders the design of and approves those engagement bait algorithms just recently became the first trillionaire in history doesn't mean we should start jumping to conclusions all of a sudden

>>2839487
You forgot Orban and the Polish right in the list too. The worst part? Their partisan will actually pretend they solved the problem while still attacking the left or even liberals because it turns out "immigration" is not about immigration for the most part.
Trump hasnt reduced it significantly by the way but UK Labour did. Guess which one is being defamed by the rightwing medias constantly?

Well said. When we win we will deport these guys to deep red flyover rural town so they can experience the joys of an ethnically homogenous christpilled hogh trust society they promote so much. Because they wont go there by themselves clearly.

I wrote this article on "Dare To Struggle", a front group for the "Organization of Communist Revolutionaries", itself a splinter group of the RCP (Bob Avakian's cult). There is basically nothing on the group on the internet besides its own posts and websites, I decided to change that. Notable things they've done are threatening to kill other leftist groups for being liberals (despite doing materially the same things as them) and somehow never getting in trouble for them, praising the Shining Path more than any other communist group that actually beat the capitalists in their country, and general retardation and LARPing. Would be interested in seeing what other people think about this group.

Didn’t Houdini and that Juche posters account both post threads the same week with CashApp links? Lol. The feds aren’t that sharp, though. What’s way more likely than North Korean super-meth soldiers is just a handful of burned out leftists hooked on crystal, trying to scrape together cash so they don’t end up fully homeless. Cops aren't always the most creative, so they see that and go, “Yep, possible kingpin".

>The American economy is geared to the world market, of which it requires an increasingly larger share as U.S. capital expands. If this share contracts — and it is bound to contract, should more nations turn away from the American-dominated world market towards a kind of "second world market" which restricts, or excludes, the exploitation of less-developed nations by the developed ones — it will force the internal American development into isolation and in the direction of a state-controlled economy.
Is this prediction basically in the process of being realized given the present conditions of multipolarity and the fact that the American economy has been running on state-subsidized tech bubbles? Does anyone have a statistical QRD of this tendency at hand?
