What do we think of Anarcho-Synndicaliam, Council Communism, and Anarcho-Communism, basically ideologies in which the proletriat immediately seizes production without seizing the state apparatus.

Personally i really like Pannekoek and also syndicalism although I think both systems can become burecratic and possibly disconnected forming a new classes (such as how after the first revolunary generation lost power in the USSR the vanguard stopped working for the proletriat and formed new methods of exploitation).

So you know how Yugoslavia had worker self-management and managers were elected inside specfic industries? Or how in the early USSR local soviets held a lot of political power? Its like that but more democratic and they aren't appointed by the state, infact the state doesn't exist and instead its a series of soviets organizated amongst each other. Although it should be noted I probably need to read more from Pannekoek and im oversimplifing
>>2617107
More like only 6 years of the USSR ever actually served the interests of the working class, again if it isn't obvious the Vanguard became the new ruling class.

Anything less than nuclear warheads, ballistic missiles, committing to looking "crazy", ultranationalism, and having +10% of your population in the military is basically just performative policy.

how is OP wrong though



 

Anti-communists&Ultraleftoids in 1920s:
>Soviet Russia is state capitalist and socialist only in name! It will 'normalize' sooner or later! It is a kulak dictatorship by Stalin!
>1920s Soviet Russia was reliant on importing machinery with trade deficit dependent to west! Komsomol members and young communists angered by gap between reality and ideal! Restoration of trade and diplomatic relatons with west! Powerful kulaks and widespread corruption! Lenin said Russia is 'politically socialist', but this is a fluke! Russian Revolution was in fact, nothing more than a capitalist one!

Etc., etc., same shit you heard about China in 2000s-2010s and still present among anti-communists and fake marxist degenerates as of present.
"Sosnovsky coined the phrase 'the automobile-harem factor' in relation to the rise of the bureaucracy. Aspiring bureaucrats would marry the daughters of bourgeois and aristocrats and imitate their outlook and habits. The big cars of the officials and their 'painted ladies' recalled the protest of Gracchus Babeuf at a similar phenomenon in the period of Thermidorean reaction […]"

>1928-9 USSR: Great Break, sudden annihilation of kulaks as a class, 'Second October'


What is the lesson? It is that althrough threats of overthrow created by new class of capitalists and 'nepmen' is real, as long as the Communist Party holds power, it is POLITICALLY SOCIALIST. People who harp about PRC and claim it is not socialist do not understand Lenin made concessions and retreats that were not any less than those made by Deng Xiaoping. 'China has stock markets/wage labor/value form' whatever shit raised by fake marxists who not only dispute economical but also political form are going against Lenin.

>>2630912
You are right but this has been settled so many times now it was hardly worth a new thread. See >>2628979

Another bourgie Dengist historical revisionism thread, eh? Let's contradict that!

<Lenin:

a. How long did the NEP last?
b. What did Lenin say about the burgeoning bureaucracy and about it wielding something?
<Mao:
a. While the CPC under Mao's leadership (the pupils of the just successful anti-fascist USSR, collectivized, industrialized, centrally planned, before supercomputers) focused on both social and material conditions, what did Mao think Deng's perspective lacked and the consequences of downplaying one?
b. According to the CPC during 1950s-to-1960s, what are the adverse consequences to socialist internationalism by adopting a rightist and social-imperialist line, first emerging in the CPSU with Khrushchev's clique, then also being struggled against in the PRC?
c. Why was the Cultural Revolution started?
d. What are some of Mao's final statements on Deng near the end of Mao's life?
e. What differentiates Chinese foreign policy from the 50s to mid 70s vs late 70s to today?

Bonus
<Xi:
a. If the CPC several years under the leadership of Xi Jinping in 2017 tried to strip the DPRK of its main method of defending itself, nuclear armaments, in chorus with the G7/NATO imperialists; what in US-China relations changed in 2018 that made China less interested? And does that reflect a deeply set bourgeois (profit motive, competing capitals) vs proletarian (revolutionary, socialist) internationalism guiding their overall strategy?

>>2631215
> What are some of Mao's final statements on Deng near the end of Mao's life?
Mao was senile, and Deng tricked the yanks into giving up the productive forces. Had Deng lost, China would have continued to make the same ultra left mistakes of some of the GPCR and been CIA couped unceremoniously in the 80s and become something like the Russian federation instead of what it is today.

>>2631314
>Mao was senile
The adhom/distraction always used to not study a crucial part of the materialist history of socialism in the world-historical Chinese revolution; the Cultural Revolution.
Let me guess, the Deepseek and Qwen content blocks prevented you from giving an answer?
>Deng tricked the yanks into giving up the productive forces
Sorry anon but transnational capital actually owns and controls their corporations on Chinese soil. They also have made immense profits from the rightist CPC traitors prostituting the Chinese proletariat. Clearly you thought differently, that the PRC was a planned economy, like DPRK. That's false.
>Had Deng lost [alternative history]
Irrelevant and embarrassing.

0/8: You have failed the basic test of historical materialism and are wholly ineligible for Party work.

I'm sick of the loss of humanity caused by hundreds of years of imperialism.
I'm sick of mandatory social isolation
I'm sick of my intelligence and education being decided upon based on class.
Especially, I'm sick of not even being able to get a job where I'm at.
We now live in a world where humanity itself feels meaningless due to AI.

Imagine how much permaculture we could get done with their labor, now buried in trenches.

I can't repress this, otherwise I don't feel in control of myself, and become addicted to slop, as bourgies desire. And yet, saying this to the normies I know personally makes me feel isolated

You're probably on the same page, but the point is that we should make this a mainstream talking point amoung "leftist"s (left of center, by western standards). The west already has a TERF-Transgender divide, let's crack it up further.

>>2588624

you are correct.

But I also heard that in the former Eastern Bloc it was felt that improving the state into perfection was the path towards communism. In my view that seems totalitarian.

>>2588540
Yes but unironically. Nazism needs to be eradicated on a genetic level.

>>2588642

It is indeed totalitarian conceptually.

For a Proletarian Dictatorship to truly triumph, it must come to encompass all of society; Nothing must be outside it or against it.

And it is by this process, as OP hinted at, that the state itself, defined in the Marxist sense as the instrument of class power itself can wither away.

The yet harder pill to swallow is that any totalitarian state almost also itself come to resemble something close to Proletarian Dictatorship. That is to say class collaborationism will never actually achieve what the corporatists say they want it to achieve (comprehensive social harmony analogous to a healthy body); Only something resembling the Dictatorship of the Proletariat can ever hope to lead to anything close to such an outcome.

anarchism was an antisemitic mistake

What are your thoughts on the (now old) Chongqing model, and how does it relate to the modern policies of the CCP?

Some parts of the model sound to me quite foolish, namely the singing of old (maoist) songs, and the crack down on hooliganism. But I'm especially interested in the housing projects on Singapore Housing and Development Board (HDB) model. This initiative seems to have built *13 million square meters of public housing*, providing millions of people with homes. I'm also interested in how increased profits from SOEs might have prevented some deficit spending. He also apparently lowered taxes on corporations which raising them wealthy individuals, and perhaps caused some deficit spending. With the existing housing crisis it seems to me yet again that there is a model for the world in this policy.

I'm not sure if the deficit spending was reasonable or not, and would like some information on this as well as how agreeable this faction is in general.

I am taking precautions against the infiltration of MMT into socialist circles and the damage this could cause by bringing confusion and possible co-optation. I am not against the use of state capitalism as long as it is a weapon of class struggle to bankrupt the capitalists so that the economy can be nationalized and socialized.

>>2625179

>>2628841
no one here said money creates value. the claim was that issuing new credit money doesn't inherently lower the exchange value of the currency relative to all other commodities (inflation).

>>2628688
>Seems based. From what I've read, it's essentially delegating private enterprise's roles to public ones, aswell as highly redistributive policies alongside maoist culture & tightening security. It seems a lot like Singaporean model, minus the maoist cultural aspect, where the city essentially owns housing, transit, infrastructure etc but allows for unregulated markets where it doesn't impact their citizens.
Alright cool.

>Deficit spending isn't an issue as long as your economy can produce more goods than their is money in circulation. In MMT, inflation occurs when aggregate spending (especially by the government) exceeds the economy’s productive capacity. So, as long as you have productive structures yielding good results, deficits (& inflation really) aren't a big problem.

I find MMT _very_ confusing. To my understanding more money in circulation representing the same (or slightly more) labor time would result in inflation. The Philips curve and NAIRU (or equivalently the necessity of a surplus army of labor) implies that a little inflation is a good thing. And it's especially good if employment drops like in a recession once again because of the Philips curve. But this is besides the point. Just from a labor perspective (and this is the most important perspective), sticky wages imply that you wouldn't want more inflation than necessary to secure employment.

But even besides this I simply don't know if it was in fact true that the Chongqing model utilized excessive deficit spending or not; I heard there were many attempts to slander the model after the murder trial, and it's hard to find data on other than perhaps the wsj article linked in OP which showed total dept within the whole province going from 100% of GDP to 125% over the five years. I was also curious if there was any influence on Xi from this model - which seemed so beneficial.

(Sorry the OP is so terribly written also, pure brainslop composition.)

The "let it rot" movement (known in Chinese as bǎi làn, 摆烂) is a social and cultural phenomenon among China's youth, particularly Gen Z and millennials. It reflects widespread disillusionment with intense societal pressures, economic challenges, and the relentless "hustle culture."

Origins and Meaning
The term bǎi làn literally translates to "let it rot" or "let it decay." It originated from basketball slang, where it described teams deliberately giving up in a losing game (similar to "tanking" in English). In broader usage, it means voluntarily retreating from or embracing a deteriorating situation rather than fighting to improve it, often out of a sense that effort is futile.

Young people adopting this mindset might:
- Perform the bare minimum at work (or poorly on purpose).
- Avoid ambitious goals like buying property.
- Delay or reject marriage and children.
- Generally disengage from traditional markers of success.

LMAO you dont even understand how over it is for them.

Why do I feel that everytime there is some kind of trend or mentality about some Chinese kids it's blown up in the West as some "social and cultural phenomenon" (mostly a negative habit or something), given a fancy name, so that all the Western "China experts" can drop it all the time and seem like they have some deep cultural insight.
