They're all in cahoots. It's true, it's one big club, and (you) are not in it. Politics is just one big spectacle where the rabble gets exploited and killed. But the elites party and have their fun. Xi Jinping, the oh so great anti-imperialist. Of course!(b8 thread)

i already know this and have kind of always known it, if not consciously then subconsciously. but what george carlin got wrong is that it's not a big club, it's a very small and very exclusive club that gets smaller and more exclusive every day. and it's not the only club either; in addition to the elite club of people at the top who have everything, there is a second diametrically-opposite club of people at the bottom who have almost nothing, and that club is big and inclusive and gets bigger and more inclusive with each passing day. and what i'm getting at is not some cliche idealistic pipe dream about a future revolution where the poor masses overthrow the wealthy elite, it's more like a reframing of the narrative, re-evaluating our highly-indoctrinated perceptions of who and what we really are, understanding that the power and wealth and prestige of the elite is not real, it is an elaborate facade, a smoke-and-mirrors parlor trick that requires tremendous and continuous effort and resources to maintain. this idea that the elite are somehow outside of everything, outside of reality, outside of the laws of nature, is a fantasy which ultimately no amount of money or power can ever permanently reify. and likewise the innate weakness and helplessness and bondage of the common masses is also an elaborate fiction, the common man is not weak or stupid or servile, he is simply an occasional victim of temporary circumstance and in the grand scheme of things he is remarkably resilient to every manner of suffering and hardship and calamity. the meek will not someday inherit the earth and they don't need to, because they are the earth, they are reality, always have been and always will be.

the elite are the ones who live in a glass house and it is only a matter of time before something they failed to account for causes the foundation to crack and the entire structure to fall and crumble to dust and leave them suddenly denuded of all the protections they have grown so accustomed to, whereupon the remorseless uncompromising forces of nature will rub them out of existence without missing a beat. meanwhile, the common folk who are one with the earth, who have spent their entire lives bending and flexing and adapting to the forces of nature out of primal necessity rather than trying to resist them and control them by brute force out of hubristic extravagance, will adapt and survive and make the best of it as they have always done through all mPost too long.

Why was Warsaw's destruction not declared a Nazi war crime by Nuremberg? Was it actually destroyed by Soviets? There was no Warsaw destruction listed in court sentence anywhere, despite Poles putting loads of documents for the court to consider, just like Soviets did with Katyn, but were repelled by the court.

Was Stalin responsible for Warsaw destruction the same way he lost Katyn case in Nuremberg?

Dachau and Buchenwald aren't mentioned in the sentencing either, weirdly enough. Auschwitz had an episode of women getting neutered in indictment, but no mention of it in the sentencing. Were the Soviets responsible for all of those, I wonder? Judging by how it is claimed that since Katyn is missing in the sentencing, it means that court refused the accusation

>Which is why Katyn was rejected in the final judgement.
There was NO rejection of Katyn anywhere in Nuremberg. Buchenwald and destruction of Warsaw are not in the final judgement, but are proven to be German acts - same as Katyn.

You cannot claim that Nuremberg had doubts about Katyn without invoking that Buchenwald and Warsaw destruction weren't Nazi crimes - which is Nazi crime denialism.

You have to drop this line of argument permanently, because Nuremberg did, in fact, persecute Goring, Hess and others for Katyn. But specifically Goring was the defendant on Katyn, and Nuremberg didn't abscond him of guilt during the Katyn hearing, as it was not stricken out of indictment. This is also proven by the fact that Nuremberg did drop stuff out of indictment, like the aforementioned case of secret Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, which was DISMISSED by Nuremberg court outright as having no factual evidence behind it even existing

>>2920711
Oh, and also, Romanov not a real person btw, but rather a collection of anticommunist writers from katynfiles doesn't go over Nuremberg trials' rules and proceedings specifically because if he were to read them out loud his whole position would fucking collapse. Hence, instead of open and direct going over rules and proceedings, he instead tries to recreate them off records of certain cases - a certified conspiracy theorist behaviour. In our case, though, he is more like those sleazy climate change denialist scientists who attack late edits on papers as a proof of paper being rushed and untrustworthy

Katynfiles takes you people for idiots. It's not factual, it's propaganda

You remain mistaken. In the "Critique of the Gotha Programme", Marx is already including the lower phase of communism when he writes about the state.

<Now the program does not deal with this nor with the future state of communist society.

>Marx is already including the lower phase of communism when he writes about the state.
That's not what the excerpt says, you copy-pasting retard. He's referring to the organized collective and community of a potential communist society, not to a state in the traditional, class-based sense.

>>2921643
You remain mistaken. Marx is criticizing Lassalle's concept of the "free state," which tends toward class conciliation without resorting to anarchist fantasies.

  1. Punching your monitor only hurts you, it does not hurt the person who made the post.
  2. People often don't think, they just feel. Asking them to define terms and defend positions forces them to think and causes them to realize things about themselves they did not previously realize.
  3. Practice without theory is flailing. Theory without debate is solipsism. Debate without reflection upon practice is masturbation. We should practice, then debate whether that practice was useful, then reflect upon that debate to establish a superior theory that will lead to better practice.
  4. Debate does not cause splits, it reveals splits that were previously hidden under the flowery language of a false unity, and allows something to be done about them.
  5. People who are unable to defend their ideas don't even know why they hold them in the first place.
  6. People who are unable to define the terms they use don't even know what they mean.
  7. If you shoot first and ask questions later you end up with a lot of unnecessary friendly fire.

i'm a lifelong debate addict; i just can't stop no matter what i do. i've simply accepted it as who i am, and made peace with the fact that i will be forever intolerable, after a certain point. as for the very few people in my life who continue to seek my company, they have either grown callous to my incessant exposition and questioning, or they encounter the version of me that keeps his mouth shut for as long as possible, which isn't very long, hence company of this latter sort frequently shuffles in and out.

like most addicts, my practice no longer brings me joy but simply serves to stave off a certain type of pain. although being addicted to dialectical intercourse can certainly be more productive and conducive to personal growth than other addictions, i sincerely have no idea if i am better off for it. i still feel helpless to affect my actions in any meaningful way, and all i can do is simply be more lucid and observant when i make the same mistakes as anybody else.

There needs to be proletarian disability justice movement. I think communists have ended up being pushed into seeing disability justice as some kind of frivolous idpol, and its not helped by the fact that so much of it is carried by very shortsighted middle-class ppl right now. The movement for disability rights has become associated with unreasonable, aggressive attempts at gaining accommodation (sometimes in cases where a reasonable discussion about accommodation could be had). While the actual ways that accommodation could begin to be pushed for, especially in working class context, are completely ignored.

Disabled people exist in the proletariat. Even when they're shut out of working jobs, they end up being confronted with the issue of being cared for. Their families, also working class, end up with this responsibility, and will have to make immense sacrifices (at least for mid-to-higher supports-need disabled individuals) as they can't afford daily care workers (usually). A lot of times they will opt out of this and abandon the disabled individual, to either die on the streets or end up in a poorly-funded public care facility, where the exact support services that they need are neglected and they live a terrible, shortened life. Even some disabled individuals with bourgeois family paying for their care deal with some of these problems, but of course the ones with working class origins have a much more guaranteed miserable fate.

Unions could fight for better workplace accommodation for the supports needs of disabled workers. The workplace is an extremely critical site for disability rights to be fought for within. And the issues of disabled workers should be addressed by their comrades. More public money could be spent on public care services that either work with families or host the disabled individual in a facility. These services could be empathetically based on the supports that a person needs

>The issue within the imperial core states is that the capitalists can intensify exploitation abroad to produce the overhead to pay for such accommodations at home. Thus, it's necessary for such labor struggles to have an internationalist character alongside the workplace struggle and not be fought as a "free trade union" struggle for "practical" benefits. An "accommodation" in the US should be an accommodation everywhere. The boss is happy to let you have a special desk, or chair, or break time, or a therapist, or whatever. See how they react when you demand that for not only yourself and your coworkers, but also at the sweatshops which do most of the work producing the value.
This is a real problem, yeah. It's inevitable that a material accommodation for a disabled worker will require additional investment by a capitalist, and the entire point of a third world sweatshop is that there's only the smallest possible investment in each worker. Sweatshops shouldn't exist, period, so the struggle to abolish them is the only hope for disabled workers.

>I think communists have ended up being pushed into seeing disability justice as some kind of frivolous idpol

it was like that from the beginning. ableism and things like eugenics were very standard universal things in western society during the era of karl marx and throughout the early 20th century as well, treating disabled people as human beings is a relatively recent phenomenon. until the modern era, the so-called cripples and invalids and feeble-minded were either a) hopeless tragedies to feel sorry for and never really acknowledge or talk about, b) entertainment to laugh at and gawk at in a freak show, or c) monstrous vermin to be removed from society by any means necessary for the good of the race. disabled people never had any place in marxist ideology, marx himself used ableist language to describe how capitalism turns the noble worker into a "crippled monstrosity" and marginalized the sick and elderly and disabled as the "surplus population" etc. of course the marxist fanboys will say, "well marx was just a product of his era that's how everyone talked about disabled people in 19th century europe" - exactly, that's the fucking problem, our whole culture was rotten to the very core and the problems of western society go much deeper than just a structural error in how we design our economies and run our factories, western society has a deep-seated contempt for humanity itself and delusions of anthropocentric mechanical perfection that have been undercutting our social progress from day one and continue to do so to this day.

We actually have this in britain: DPAC. It was founded as an anti-austerity movement and when disability benefits came back on the table the "gen z disability activist" group flamed out and DPAC is still there.

Meanwhile, its political leadership, and even more so its economic leadership, are reportedly exploring ways to extricate the country from its Ukrainian predicament, with the Trump administration in the United States facilitating efforts in that direction….

Read this book right now
A major problem I've been noticing through the years is that nobody fucking understands what dialectical materialism actually is. This book is entirely about explaining dialectical materialism.
Of course, it speaks of the philosophies that come before it but only to explain dialectical materialism itself (this is by itself a dialectical process, btw)

Read this shit and spread it!

I've seen this pop up on /co/ few times and I honestly think it has a lot of potential to red pill normies.
Gaston is a popular, masculine man of the people. He's portrayed as a charismatic leader who organizes the effort to kill the Beast, who is depicted as a cruel noble elite. The fact that Gaston is French, that red is strongly associated with his character and the recent Disney prequel project about him would great potential.

>>New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and US President Donald Trump met at the mayor’s mansion on September 21 to discuss Mamdani’s plan for an expansive housing project atop the Sunnyside rail yard in Queens with federal support.


>>Trump made the planned visit before speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, where he threatened to “annihilate the Islamic Republic”.


>>The two spoke jovially, with Trump saying that Mamdani will be “hopefully, a really great mayor.” Mamdani announced that he and the president agreed to advance talks to a technical level to discuss carrying out the project.


>>According to the mayor’s office, the proposal entails building a $21 billion platform above the rail yard that would allow real estate monopolists to construct housing on the platform.


>>Mamdani claimed the project would lead to the creation of 12,000 housing units, and 30,000 jobs in the process.


>>The idea of housing above the rail yard has long been flirted with by NYC administrations for decades, given its prime location near the East River and Manhattan.
