Everything that Epstein and the people in his circle did was already illegal. Are you seeing anyone being punished or arrested? 99% of all laws and prohibitions only exist to repress the working class. It's what Marcuse called *surplus repression*.

Epstein and Maxwell manipulated 4chan and Reddit respectively in order to fuel both sides of the "culture wars". Now they're fueling it once again in order to distract from the revelations that were in the files.

I just finished reading The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962) by Thomas S. Khun and it struck me as one of those instances of a non-Communist person being dialectical materialist on accident. I actually don't know what his attitudes towards Communism was, but since he was born in the USA and spent almost his entire adult life in the Cold War, I assume it wasn't good. But nevertheless, I found this to be a very intriguing but short book (he calls it an essay) which analyzes science not as a static teleological method based on making falsifiable conjectures and attempting to refute them through experiments (as with Popper) but as a continually evolving and socially constructed human enterprise based on changing paradigms, which continually rewrites and simplifies its own history in order to abridge the process of raising and training new generations of scientists. Science continually subdivides into new fields, and old paradigms are continually replaced with new paradigms through the process of crisis formation and resolution. Old theories are abandoned, and the very process of raising and training a new generation of scientists in a given field introduces only the current dominant paradigm and its main problem/solution methodologies (called "normal" science) to avoid burdening the student with the entire historical background. But as scientists engage in experimentation, they uncover anomalies which the dominant paradigm cannot explain. At first this is fine, because paradigms reign as long as dominant theories are able to explain most phenomena encountered in daily work. Anomalies are just treated as mop up work for normal science. But as anomalies accumulate there is crisis formation and entire paradigms get called into question, leading to scientific revolution. He compares this to social and political revolution and it reminds me of the whole Scientific Socialist thing about the transformation of quantitative changes into qualitative changes. I'm probably explaining it poorly but I'm wondering if anyone else here has read this book and gotten anything out of it, or maybe even if you thought it was trash, say why.

It's just a sad reality that after 1950, dialectical materialist writers started caring more about impressing people with word salad and less about conveying clear ideas in the plain manner of Marx, Engels, and their immediate successors. So it's not surprising that there are post-1950 works outside of explicitly leftist works that have more to offer.

poor american education means modern european marxism seems too academicy and word-salady. europe expanded public knowledge and education of workers and usa is still stuck in old age europe left this old age with social democracy when it come to education accesss so the pre ww2 texts make more sense to american brains. europe funds schools centrally. everybody gets the same baseline whether you in the rich part of town or the poor part . here? property taxes and private systems run education acccess. so a kid in a poor zip code gets a worse public schools and even then public school is bad most places and you expect to pay lot of moeny out of pocket to get level of education kids abroad in EU get. straight up.

I'm talking about the classical marxist ideology that posited that we need to just accelerate capitalism til it just caves in on itself and then take over after that. not the fascist " lets shoot every poc at the grocery store" accelerationism.

Very good post. Not gonna lie, I liked the manifesto of Srnicek and Williams, and I think they had a legit critique of the post-left/The Invisible Committee, but let's face it, their solution was not very different from the kind of things Yaroufakis already talked about, demsoc with more machines. They didn't inherently solve any problems.
Vince Garton and Edmund Berger wrote pretty interesting things even if a lot of it went over my head. As someone who didn't study philosophy in college, that era of shitposting felt exciting as I was seeing people trying to develop new ideas and engage with the present. Nowadays it feels like we have stagnated, r/acc predictably got a relative victory, and we are back to watching the shitshow unfolds with our old ideas. The problem of accelerationism is that it remained pretty descriptive, while a cascade of unforseeable events kinda changed everything, it became harder to keep up ironically.

Italians protest against Iran war and attack on judicial independence
The March 22-23 referendum on changes to the judicial system has become a major political test for Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s far-right government, which faces an election next year. The debate over the legal shake-up has escalated into a broader confrontation between the prime minister and her political opponents.

Gains for the left and far right in French municipal elections
Sunday’s first-round results showed a significant increase in votes for the LFI, which scored high in the north, in the town of Roubaix, where it could win the mayor’s position. It also saw significant vote increases in cities including Toulouse, Lille and Limoges, after succeeding in mobilising young voters. In France’s second biggest city, Marseille, the RN’s Franck Allisio was level after the first round with the incumbent left-wing mayor, Benoit Payan, at about 35.4 per cent, as they head into next weekend’s run off.

From Bay of Pigs to Speedboats: Trump Still Doesn’t Get It
There are moments when the class character of imperialist aggression reveals itself with brutal clarity. February 25, 2026, was one such moment. Cuban border guards intercepted a Florida-registered speedboat just one nautical mile off Cayo Falcones in Villa Clara province. The vessel carried ten armed Cuban exiles operating from U.S. soil. When the patrol approached to enforce sovereignty, the infiltrators opened fire. Cuban forces defended themselves, killing four − including at least one U.S. citizen − and wounding six. Weapons, ballistic vests and military-style equipment were seized. Havana correctly described it as a foiled “armed infiltration for terrorist purposes.” Washington, as always, denied any government role. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called it “not a U.S. operation” and announced yet another “independent investigation.” This is not an isolated incident. This is the latest chapter in U.S. imperialism’s six-decade war to crush the Cuban Revolution − the very same criminal methods the CIA employed against Fidel Castro and Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara. Let us recall the historical record without embellishment.

How the global crisis is strengthening Russia
The contemporary Russian regime has become adept at navigating global turbulence. Rising oil prices, shifts in trade flows, and disruptions to competing suppliers can all strengthen Russia’s position as a major exporter of raw materials. In this sense, the Middle Eastern conflict may temporarily stabilise the Russian economy. A profound change is underway, driven by the relative decline of US imperialism, which has lost its position of complete supremacy as a world power, along with the organic crisis of capitalism which is leading to a scramble for control of markets, resources, supply chains and spheres of influence, principally between the US and China. And it is precisely in this imperialist carnage that Russia is attempting to establish itself.

let's read them:


>To my mind, the so-called “socialist society” is not anything immutable. Like all other social formations, it should be conceived in a state of constant flux and change. Its crucial difference from the present order consists naturally in production organized on the basis of common ownership by the nation of all means of production. To begin this reorganization tomorrow, but performing it gradually, seems to me quite feasible. That our workers are capable of it is borne out by their many producer and consumer cooperatives which, whenever they're not deliberately ruined by the police, are equally well and far more honestly run than the bourgeois stock companies.

<Engels, Letter to Otto Von Boenigk In Breslau, August 21, 1890

>Will it be possible for private property to be abolished at one stroke? No, no more than existing forces of production can at one stroke be multiplied to the extent necessary for the creation of a communal society. In all probability, the proletarian revolution will transform existing society gradually and will be able to abolish private property only when the means of production are available in sufficient quantity.

You are forgetting that it is mandatory to build forces within a working-class party independent of the bourgeoisie, and the reforms must be radical to intensify the class struggle and not to create complacency. This means that all pensions must be removed from the private sector to be under the control of the workers, outside of profit, as a public right; all costs must be transferred to the capitalists; and any indirect tax on workers' consumption must be abolished.

First, I will state the Marxist position on how to act in an election in bourgeois democracy:

<Complete abstention from political action is impossible. The abstentionist press participates in politics every day. It is only a question of how one does it, and of what politics one engages in. For the rest, to us abstention is impossible. The working-class party functions as a political party in most countries by now, and it is not for us to ruin it by preaching abstention. Living experience, the political oppression of the existing governments compels the workers to occupy themselves with politics whether they like it or not, be it for political or for social goals. To preach abstention to them is to throw them into the embrace of bourgeois politics. The morning after the Paris Commune, which has made proletarian political action an order of the day, abstention is entirely out of the question.
<We want the abolition of classes. What is the means of achieving it? The only means is political domination of the proletariat. For all this, now that it is acknowledged by one and all, we are told not to meddle with politics. The abstentionists say they are revolutionaries, even revolutionaries par excellence. Yet revolution is a supreme political act and those who want revolution must also want the means of achieving it, that is, political action, which prepares the ground for revolution and provides the workers with the revolutionary training without which they are sure to become the dupes of the Favres and Pyats the morning after the battle. However, our politics must be working-class politics. The workers' party must never be the tagtail of any bourgeois party; it must be independent and have Post too long.

Your analogy doesn't make sense, because for an infinite series to converge means, that for every possible distance to the limit, there exists a number of elements of the series after which every sum has a smaller distance to the limit. By extension that would mean for every feature of communism not found in current society, there exists a point at which it is established by incremental change. This is clearly not how reformism has historically played out.

Mass media is dominated by those with the capital to own it. Any airtime an anti-capitalist gains on these platforms can be revoked at any time. So while pursuing exposure on them isn't useless, it is limited, and playing at a disadvantage.

It's therefore useful to draw people away from these compromised platforms onto our own platforms, and to discover places they are not able to easily dominate.

Naturally, there are infrastructural challenges - internet services require servers, which cost money, have terms and conditions if you aren't self-hosting, and can ultimately be shutdown by the state if considered a threat.

Some examples, to get the discussion rolling:
< Socialist-run media outlets (MeansTV, party article/newspapers, self-hosted podcasts)
< Socialist-owned forums (/leftypol/s, eRegime, socialist mastodon instances, socialist lemmy instances like Hexbear)
< Socialist closed chat groups (Matrix channels, Telegram/Whatsapp/Signal/Di$cord groups [still vulnerable to deplatforming, but limited] )
< Postering/stickering/graffiti
< Personal networks (word of mouth)
