>just do marxism but like, with the individual dude

I'm currently reading his book "search of a method" and quite frankly his thought and ideas seem very anecdotical and uninteresting. I understand that the context of marxism in the 1950s was different than it is now and as such made the ideology appear as more deterministic, but even then I can't shake the feeling that this is too big of a development to simply adress the issue of tendencies within marxist circles at his time.
His whole philosophy to me seems very basic and overdeveloped. Radicalizing subjectivism doesn't seem to require as much development than he gave it. Similarly criticizing other ideologies that you agree with on the basis that it's not sensible enough for "le individual" is dishonest. Maybe I'm missing something but his thought appears as a more developed Stirner with humanist tendencies and vocab. Thoughts ?

I think we should just stop giving any consideration to that bunch of French pederasts that too many consider 'intellectuals'. A lot of mumbojumbo with a few captivating catchphrases thrown into the mix. There's plenty of other stuff one can read and get valuable insights from.
One of the actually based Frenchmen, Pierre Bourdieu, correctly stated that in a capitalist society, intellectuals are fundamentally a dominated section of the dominant class: they have a cultural capital they can profit from on the market instead of a classic financial or industrial form of capital. There are obviously individual exceptions, but the place of the intellectual is just that.
I guess that's why you constantly have people salivating on faggots like the ones OP and other anons talk about itt, while you rarely get any mention of Bourdieu.

It's hard to tell what you mean by authoritarianism but I'll try to answer:
>legislative sortitioned single-chamber assembly with recall ability for constituents
>constitutional protection of standard liberal democratic civil rights like free speed + safeguards against oligarchical wielding of mop
>direct democratic relations of production with delegation of powers and recall ability, public resource pool for individual and group enterprise managed by councils, government sector takes very centralized or vital industries

>>2746761
Authority is a consequence of the town-country contradiction and the bourgeois family. No centralization of administration in the town, no dependency of working mothers on patriarchs and you don't have authority. Internet and commie blocks basically solve the problem of authoritarianism.

There is an inescapable distance of two centuries* between a succesful revolution and actual State-less, money-less and (perhaps) authority-less communism. I like the way so many of my comrades here are fighting to not let our very high and dignified ultimate goal of human emancipation be forgotten. I believe however we must also dedicate some of that energy to think about the immediate transition, during which no doubt authority and the State will be needed. As of how much, I would only say that in the same way capitalism employs authority to suppress the emergence or everything that pushes towards socialism, socialism will employ it's authority to make the ressurgence of capitalism impossible. The goal of gradually increasing the social ownership of the means of production should be put in the constitution and publicly attacking that goal should be legally punished in the same way we are legally punished right now for objecting to the liberal rights of private property.

It is genuinely entertaining to watch the ideological defenses of capitalism crumble under the weight of materialist analysis. The standard refrain that the abundance and innovation we enjoy are products of capitalist competition and individual genius ignores what becomes of art, culture, science and craft when profit becomes the sole organizing principle. Commodification does not simply cheapen material life; it strips culture of its soul, directs the science towards fields that don't always benefit us as a whole. Music, video games, cinema, any creative field subsumed by the hyper‑ late stage - capitalist model tends toward mechanic formula, risk aversion, and the relentless pursuit of the bottom line. The most enduring games, the most resonant albums, were rarely born from quarterly earnings projections; they emerged from spaces where passion, not profit, drove production. Capitalism did not invent creativity; it commodified it, then proceeded to enclose it, standardize it to bourgeoisie norms, and drain it of everything that made it vital. Individual artists and developers who once worked for love of the craft are now pushed to the margins, their visions chopped into marketable fragments, their names buried under corporate branding. The decline in quality is not incidental it is the necessary outcome of a system that treats creativity as a product and inventors as interchangeable labor. The evidence is everywhere, a gaming industry once animated by basement coders and small teams now churns out hollow sequels and micro transactions; a music industry once capable of producing genuine cultural movements now cycles through algorithm‑generated disposable pop. The moment capital fully colonizes a creative field, the field loses its capacity to surprise, to challenge, to reflect anything beyond the logic of accumulation. This is yet again, an example of capitalism crushing every aspect of the individual.

>A capitalist society is ruled by liberalism which sets the interests of the community against those of individuals, and places the interests of individuals above those of the community.
Yes, that is called universality by the rule of law; the alternative is to be enslaved by custom and tradition, as it persists in more patriarchal societies. Homosexuality, for example, can only have civic protection, where the individual's claim to liberty, is superior to the community (e.g. the family). If 99% of people are against you, yet you are protected by the law, then the individual is in fact facilitated by legality, which conserves the preservation of their being. Universality must then begin in concerns for minorities, with the individual being the ultimate minority.

they don't necessarily always believe/think that, they just say that because it benefits them and they know better than to contradict an idea that benefits them. they want the proles to have crab bucket mentality.

nah that seems right

I'm sure there are more specific and context dependent definitions, but it doesn't mean you cannot get the point across using standard definitions.

Think it was along the lines of us giving Ukraine bombs and military advisors even at the cost of Putin putting the squeeze on oil.

Its an old meme from the Ukraine war when libs dismissed concerns about the cost of living with "Well that's just the price for freedom."

Really burning down a building is not that easy, shit has systems in place for holding down a fire, putting out the video actually turns it into propaganda, so even if it wasn't very succesful, it will still work well into fanning flames and instilling fear into the capitalist class.

I don't know how either of those work(ed) out, but i think it's a pretty obvious logic. Especially if they're anarchists

>>2750285
yeah dude there have been zero revolutionary conditions like the many crises and mass worker movements that have happened repeatedly since, i dunno, FDR at least, and every single one of them have been pathetic failures of leninists to lead the masses to any kind of victory.

Most of the left has rendered itself wholly dependent on the Democratic Party and its NGO apparatus. Every four years it rediscovers just how “big” it is only to watch every one of its talking points squandered, obscured into shadow, the moment Democrats hold power. This has been the way for decades, brother. It is not merely about ICE or any single issue; the moment the Democrats take power, the left‑leaning activism that social media algorithms amplify is systematically shut down. Suddenly you realize the left has built nothing. All those millions of anti‑war liberal voices have become, in practice, nothing more than neoliberal Magas who are now pro-war, and cheer on the repression of anyone who dares resist. and yes your socialist organizations are connected to the DNC and their philanthropists, they have no problem with red branding their NGOs involved in this cycle, just like they have no problem green washing. I've studied this occurring time and time again throughout the 2000s.

Assuming the future remains locked in the same cycle we have always known does not alter the fact posted in the OP.

Trump is the first president to shout out Marxists and anarchists by name, except Clinton, after he got all butthurt when they shut the wto confrence down in 1999. Funny, they're both Epstein frequents. Trump gives the left confidence, and he shattered the image of the liberal velvet glove that quietly wrecks movements. That’s low‑key why the liberals hated his approach. Trump challenges leftists and anarchists to be better, gives them confidence, while the liberal ignores them and destroys them from the shadows. When it comes down to it, I’ll take Tucker Carlson over Gavin Newsom any day. Trumps style of counter-insurgency method is a relic from the 1920s, which is perfect for opposition, using modern strategy.

Is this the same kind of satanism that is prolific in Hollywood cannibal circles and potentially the Epstein island crew? Or are they theologically different?

'Salih Muslim was a revolutionary for the Kurdish cause'
Yesterday, Salih Muslim, a member of the Co-Presidency of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), was martyred in a hospital in Erbil. His friends and relatives spoke to our agency.
Deputy Co-Chair of the Kobanê City Council of the Kurdistan Region, Mizgin Xelîl, expressed her condolences to the family of martyr Salih Muslim and said: "Yesterday, a national figure reached the level of martyrdom, we were saddened by his martyrdom. We extend our condolences to the people of Kurdistan and the people of Rojava, to the family of martyr Salih Muslim."

Mizgin Xelîl stated that Salih Muslim was always in the struggle for the cause of the Kurdish people and said: "Martyr Salih was in the struggle and resistance despite his advanced age and never abandoned the line of resistance. Salih Muslim fought for the unity of the Kurds his entire life. Everyone should support his cause."
Co-chair of the Kobanê Civil Society Organization, Nebo Temo, stated that it is not enough to mention the work of martyr Salih Muslim and said: "I have known Salih Muslim since the 1990s. From that time until today, he has been working and working."
Nebo Temo said that Muslim had educated himself on the philosophy of Leader Abdullah Öcalan and said: "We must also uphold the legacy of the martyr Salih Muslim and continue the cause he set for himself. Salih Muslim was the father of martyrs and was himself a martyr."

Comrade Salih Muslim Ahmed Pir said he was proud of Salih Muslim's martyrdom and said: "In the personality of comrade Salih Muslim, we see struggle and resistance for the Kurdish cause. When one looked at him, one's heart ached for freedom and one was happy."
Ahmed the Elder promised that he would be Salih Muslim's successor and said: "We will fulfill the dreams and aspirations of comrade Salih."
Salih Muslim's relative, Muslim Muslim, also said about the struggle of the martyr Salih Muslim: "We opened our eyes. Salih Muslim was in the movement and fought for the Kurdish cause. He spent his life in struggle and fought for the rights of the Kurdish people until the last moment of his life, and his dream and ambition was the freedom of the Kurdish people."

Salih Müslim was sent off on his final journey.
Salih Muslim, a member of the Co-Chairmanship Council of the Democratic Union Party (PYD), who died of kidney failure on March 11 in a hospital in Hewler (Erbil), was buried in his hometown of Kobanê. Delegations from North and South Kurdistan attended the funeral ceremony held at the Martyr Dicle Cemetery. At the ceremony, which was attended by tens of thousands of people, a letter sent by Leader Apo (Abdullah Öcalan) after Salih Muslim's death was read aloud.

Speaking at the ceremony, Tuncer Bakırhan, Co-Chair of the Peoples' Equality and Democracy Party (DEM Party), said, "We worked closely with Salih Muslim. Comrade Salih was a great diplomat, a great revolutionary. He worked not only for himself but for the entire Kurdish people. Just as Orhan Doğan and Mehmet Sincar are for the people of Bakur (Northern Kurdistan), Salih Muslim is for Rojava (Western Kurdistan). May your path be clear, Comrade Salih. Our condolences to the Kurdish people."

Kurdish politician Leyla Zana said, "The path of hope opened by the great Salih Muslim will illuminate our way. The suffering we have endured for centuries must end. I also respectfully commemorate the martyrs who were laid to rest yesterday. We have reached this stage with great sacrifices. We are going through a process where we will either live freely or we will live freely. Chairman Apo speaks of democratic unity, and therefore everyone must take responsibility for their part. Today, the world is facing crises. Because there is a circle of fire. However, it is the Kurdish people who are full of hope. We will further increase our hopes. Today is better than yesterday, and tomorrow will be even better than today. We will lean on our people. When we have confidence in ourselves, the whole world will respect us. We will strive even harder to live freely. They deem death worthy of us, but no, we are building life."

Kobanê is an example for us. I am at the service of this people. And I will continue to be so after this process. If we are united, we are a great force. We will lead the way to a free life. We are ready to be friends with all peoples. I hope we will experience our best moments together. I participated in a program with Comrade Salih. Despite having difficulty breathing, he wanted to ensure that not a single minute was wasted. He didn't want a single minute to be wasted for the Kurdish people. I belPost too long.

Israel said it carried out airstrikes on Syrian army positions overnight on Thursday, claiming the attacks were in response to violence against Druze civilians in southern Syria, amid intensifying clashes in Suweida province.

"Overnight, the IDF struck a headquarters and weapons at Syrian regime military camps in southern Syria," the Israeli military said, according to AFP.

Clashes in Suweida erupted on Thursday between government forces and allied tribal fighters and Druze factions, according to local sources.

Syrian state media did not acknowledge the clashes or the Israeli strikes.

“The IDF will not allow harm to come to Druze in Syria and will continue to act for their protection,” a statement from the Israeli military said.
