Beria regularly sacrificed young girls to Perun, Khrushchev put a stop to this and the USSR immediately declined.

You are terminally retarded. Please fuck off and never come back.

>>2909305
why do you instantly take the tone of a 4pol troll the second you are asked a question

>>2939578
because bordiga supposedly being an axis supporter is a meme and the people who post it are also shitposting/trolling

>>2930205
What the fuck are you talking about?

That said, friendly reminder that the general strike is on the 11th of November

Electoralism can - can - impose something all communist microparties really need: verifiable success/ failure standards. As it happens now most parties take their shot first and then draw the bullseye around it. It's hard to do that if you say "we'll have failed if we don't get elected" and then don't.

Of course in practice most don't do this. They get whatever dismal vote they get, usually underperforming joke candidates and local cranks and bizarre freak parties with meme ideologies, and then they go "great campaign guys, 50 votes!"

Every communist should be sat down and forced to read a management textbook. Capitalists know how to manage their affairs, set defined success/failure standards, and hold managers accountable for meeting them. Communist micro party cults have no such discipline and so have been rudderless for decades. They are worthy of nothing but contempt.

Lenin Lives is probably the best starting point for understanding this phenomenon. The book explores how following his death, Lenin was transformed into an immortal revolutionary figure, his body became an object of public veneration and how virtually every ethnic subgroup created its own version of Lenin, portraying him for instance as part German, Turkic, Russian, or Siberian and they had their own hadiths about Lenin visiting their villages, becoming impressed by the workers and peasants whom he regarded as patriotic and then departing once again.

lol, though sometimes I do also wonder If to some extent Marx’s general appearance played a role in his popularity. Like, you really can't see Lassalle or Marx’s contemporaries as easily made into a medal, they all looked like dorky guys. Like M said, Marx looked like a fucking prophet, with his beard and long hair perfectly complementing his face.

Very interesting subject. Remember the hammer and sickle design was developed by an aristocrat (?) obsessed with Egyptian design and the star itself is a iconological representation of the relation between the lesser and the greater, and the greater and the whole.

Bumping this because its becoming more and more true

I'm not up to speed with communism fandom, could a get lore breakdown video?

>There's fewer people sharing communist memes on social media, and fewer people discussing their favorite communist countries and movements.

That's because Social Media has been cracking down on communist ideas and shadowbanning them. These social media sites are owned by capitalist techbros. Of course they don't want communists to post on their sights.

Social Media has no correlation with reality. Get off the internet and touch grass.

Here is the first episode.

>supported them against the axis powers
as if they had a choice when Barbarossa happened and they started going on an extermination campaign east

>>2939634
Marx anime? I wonder if they made a Stirner episode, that would be fun.

>>2939691
eyecue tests are not true tests of intelligence, they just test western style education. if we determine intelligence by bushcraft knowledge im sure whites will be on the bottom and africans will be geniuses

>>2939691
ok????

Mods, do you think an IP ban works?

>>2939695
Your critique commits vulgar materialism by conflating the capitalist superstructure with universal species-being. "Western education" is merely the ideological apparatus of a specific historical mode of production, whereas autism score tests index fluid intelligence, the domain-general cognitive architecture inherent to the human brain. The "bushcraft" argument is crude environmental determinism that confuses the localized acquisition of use-values with raw cognitive capacity. The positive manifold scientifically proves that the means of mental production are universal; g is an objective feature of human biology, not a bourgeois construct.
>>2939703
The correct dialectical materialist formulation is this: The biological hardware (g-factor) is the material basis, but cognitive development is historically mediated by social praxis. To deny the biological substrate is idealist utopianism; to deny the social mediation is mechanical vulgarity. autism score tests measure the dialectical friction between the two.

>>2939723
>autism score tests measure the dialectical friction between the two.
does it though. none of the preceding text justifies that conclusion, even if all of it was correct

>>2934494
Zero actual empirical exemple of it outside of tocqueville own book on the revolution btw, no idea why the idea is even entertained

>>2934215
Obviously a coup is not sufficient to STAY in power, but it is a path to secure it in the first place. From there it's a matter of managing the inevitable power struggle.

Besides, Gaddafi was Obama'd out of power so I don't think he's a good example. Almost any regime could theoretically be overthrown by a hostile foreign power.

>>2934468
Presumably a militant group with support from handful of key insiders in the ruling government/military.
Most coup d'etat aren't accompanied by a large popular movement, it just requires the current government to be unpopular enough for people not to give a shit, which is what I think >>2934475 was talking about.

Why take political power when you can be a charismatic cult leader and impregnate your followers.

>>2934336
>a single guy betrays you
>socialism ends in a day
i wonder if involving 7,000,000 people to the same extent as said guy might have shifted the balance of power

>>2934336
well yeah, anon didn't deny CIA coups. that's why it has to be international working class movement. kind of built into both the question and answer, no?

Comrades and friends,

A strong country must have a strong military, as only then can it guarantee the security of the nation. On the journey ahead, we must fully implement the Party’s thinking on strengthening the military in the new era and our military strategy for this era. We must uphold the Party’s absolute leadership over the people’s armed forces and firmly follow the Chinese path of military development. We will take comprehensive measures to enhance the political loyalty of the armed forces, to strengthen them through reform, scientific and technological advances, and the training of competent personnel, and to run them in accordance with the law. We will promote high-quality modernization of national defense and the armed forces, meet the centenary goals of the People’s Liberation Army as planned, and move faster to build our people’s armed forces into a world-class military, so that they can resolutely defend our national sovereignty, security, and development interests and make greater contributions to world peace and development.

Lasting prosperity and stability in Hong Kong and Macao are integral to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. On the journey ahead, we will fully, faithfully, and resolutely implement the One Country, Two Systems policy, under which the people of Hong Kong administer Hong Kong and the people of Macao administer Macao, both with a high degree of autonomy. We will see that Hong Kong and Macao are administered by patriots, ensure that both regions are more effectively governed in accordance with the law, and promote their economic and social development. We will support Hong Kong and Macao in better integrating into and contributing to our country’s overall development.

Resolving the Taiwan question and achieving China’s complete reunification is, for our Party, a historic mission and an unshakable commitment. It is also a shared aspiration of all the sons and daughters of the Chinese nation. We will fully implement the Party’s overall policy for the new era on resolving the Taiwan question, and uphold the one-China principle and the 1992 Consensus. Standing together closely with our Taiwan compatriots, we will promote exchanges, cooperation, and integrated development across the Taiwan Strait. We will resolutely fight against separatist forces aimed at “Taiwan independence” and oppose external interference. With firm resolve, we will continue advancing the great endeavor of national reunificPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

And now china has betrayed everything the chinese revolution stood for

Long live social democracy
