/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Recently saw a discussion in regards to "Third Worldism" as in MLM + unequal exchange (a non-Wallerstinian branch of world systems theory) having grown in influence in the anglophone/western, largely online, "communist" spaces.
Here is my dialectical engagement, as they were on to something important, not usually recognized, but also partially incorrect. I attempt to correct it ITT.

Unequal exchange, Mao/Chinese aesthetics and purely performative MLM rhetoric has grown in recent years… But with time comes change.

The original 90s ThirdWorldism "movement", centered in north-america diverged from MLM on a variety of theoretical issues, most crucially the revolutionary nature of the proletariat. They supplemented their divergence with integrating post-Marxist turns happening in word-systems theory (which was ongoing in western academia between the 80s and 90s). As ""Maoism" ThirdWorldism" largely accomplished nothing, other than maybe increasing confusion in the communist movement during the era of blackest reaction, we mostly remember them by their cartoony writing and online media available through archives from that era.

So if 90s Third Worldism was a north-american revisionist offshoot from MLM which integrated non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and rejecting revolution in the imperial core for rhetorical "support" of [far off, peripheral countries]… What are the particularities of the contemporary expression?

2020s Third Worldism can be observed as being a north-american right-wing revisionist movement which retains both the non-Wallerstinian unequal exchange theory and the purely symbolic appeals to Mao, but now replacing the "MLM" pretender framing for the simpler, safer state ideology of social-imperialist China; that also just so happens to feign adherence to 'Mao Zedong Thought', even after it was systematically replaced with the Bukharinist-Dengist capitulationist counterrevolution. which is continued today, the true basis for Xi Jinping Thought, as the bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist heading the political line of the party has only deepened the cementation of a new pole in the capitalist imperialist world system since Deng, when neither as many NEZ, stock markets, overall % of bourgeois in the party or billionaires existed in China. Mao Zedong Thought lives on in the rural and urban areas of any militant area of the Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Is the whole boomer vs. gen X vs. millennial vs. zoomer thing simply another form of false consciousness?

For example, someone born in 1986 and someone born in 1994 are both “millennials” but someone born in 1997 is a “zoomer” even though someone born in 1994 has a life experience much more like someone born in 1997 than they do someone born in 1986. Likewise, we don’t even know how to define when certain generations end or begin. Is the cut-off for boomers 1963, 1964, or 1965? To what extent does it matter?

It seems like scapegoating “boomers” for everything has become a popular thing to do on social media and I have to ask why is blaming the older generation somehow worthwhile? “Boomers were the hippies who ended up becoming conservative and voting for Reagan” — that doesn’t explain the material factors that lead to the rise of Reagan and neoconservatism in the first place. You can’t simply “blame boomers” when “boomer” exists in a materialist context. Likewise, you can’t blame Gen Xers and millennials for being “vain” or whatever when Gen Xers and millennials also faced material conditions beyond their control. So why are we placing blame on generations? Does it make any sense to do this?

I'm sorry, "We" are "Winning" by "Doing Nothing"? While the US secures every single node in your dubious tactic of Belt and Road outside of the China-Russia-Iran triangle, two of which are extremely vulnerable (entrenching the quarantine 1*, compounding power asymmetry 2*)
1: how's that worked out for all ML states so far? it is the most lethal and you invite it? who's playing who? "do nothing win" may be the CIA's most successful meme and you drooling suburban Californian MLs love it
2: speedrunning the later decades of the USSR are we? Ah yes China winning hard by events in Caribbean (only stable core of their LatAm strategy)
Great that you now have allies like UAE and Egypt in BRICS after Assad (oops, guess he wasn't immortal, but Ben didn't make a vid no that :( curious) Bright days ahead in west Asia, the key geostrategic zone for the Belt and Road pipe dream to come into effect (connecting asia to africa and latin america) as all arab states in the region let the the zionists "finish the job" for their bottom line.
Chinese chauvinism made them get kicked out of Sahel too, you think South Africa can carry the continent by itself?
As yankees now pivot from Asia to LatAm (Japan, Philippines, Thailand, India, Nepal, Afghanistan, """East Turkestan""", socfash Mongolia) and the British Commonwealth in the timezone - "looking good") and LatAm most already having been made subservient following US successful drug networks wrecking the straight line from Mexico to Brazil; "pink wave" reformists predictably walking on crates went and made themselves associated to drugs and are now stuck in a alt-right malaise for the foreseeable future (you say "look at andean region"). The entire continent is a settler-colonial project that already accomplished its task. Arab populations can't even find the bourgeois nationalism in them in the late stage of capitalist imperialism to free their Palestinians brothers and sisters from the first phases of their genocide. Iran is doing what it's doing purely for regional competition with the Isaraelis and Gulf Arabs. Every single west asian sunni arab zionist state standing firm, no arab spring 2 but arab nationalist.

You are as politically relevant as a radlib and your class collaborationism makes you but another obstacle in the way of proletarian revolution.

"Controversial" opinion incoming, apparently:
Both Mao and Bordiga were mostly correct in their views and positions, but for their respective material and social conditions they were working within. Semi-feudal conditions for Mao, capitalist-imperialist conditions for Bordiga.
Dogmatic ML: "We need a vote for progress and safeguard our democracy" (Togliatti? Starmer? Mélenchon? Harris?) Jump through hoops to safeguard bourgeois dictatorship in the west some more, ML. That is the role which you have picked for yourself. Really give it a bright red, bleeding heart radical liberal veneer!
Trend victim MLs have tried to mechanically copy-pasting semi-feudal tactics to industrialized, proletarian-majority, imperialist-capitalist countries for a century. "Too bad" their demise always has some self-defeating aspect to it, predicted by the Italian Left (or more descriptively: internationalist Leninists) decades in advance.
>But they were said to be irrelevant! At least that's what our "ML", then "Soviet-alligned", then "eurocom" leaders told us, and they headed a parliamentary party with a lot of members and voters, so they must've known what they were talking about!…right?…
There, there!
Hence internationalist Leninist tactics are not applied! Hence Lenin's revolutionary tactical invariance leading up to the key lesson for success is obscured, papered over – all to focus on the set of retreats, mistakes, fallacious tactics that led in a circle or self-obliteration. That is the "Leninism" of the western ML.
The stinky successful early stuff? It is your duty to slander and castigate the Evil "UlTrAs" for re-centering…

Now tell me: Are you finding yourselves amid semi-feudal or capitalist-imperialist conditions as you're browsing this post, anons?

I'm not American but my gf is. At her work she has a bunch of lesbians who tell her about attending DSA meetings. She says they do cool shit like consoom ethically under gabidalism, only buy fair trade stuff, run coops, do community outreach etc and try to be as little of an autistic political bickering club as possible. However at the same time I see a bunch of shilling that the DSA is extremely anti-White, and the fact that the only local chapter I've heard about first-hand is full of dyed-hair lesbians (who are pretty much always spiteful and militant especially towards White guys) along with the sperging about skeletons in the closet of the one prominent White guy their movement was even able to get (Platner) to seem "relatable" to White guys leads me to suspect that these people are not actually the friends of working class White men. I get the feeling that, if they get their full way after the zionist conservative billionaires controlling the other side of American politics are done squandering all public goodwill towards themselves, it will be open season on all cracKKKKers and their shit across the West as a rainbow coalition of crusty mutated-looking baizuo, Americanised 4b feminists, the couple hundred million browns inside the West and every other brown piece of shit from the third world that wants to waltz in will be permitted to work their way towards a pogrom against all working class White "settlers" while the porkies and yids that are actually responsible for the problems they're worked up over just lock up their gated communities, move their gigafactories to India or take a plane back to Israel.

This is probably the result of anti-DSA shilling, and of course I have nothing but contempt for ziocons and the orange pedophile, but at the same time I've interacted with pro-Palestine protests/groups with a self-proclaimed "socialist" bent in my own country and they mostly seem to oppose Israel because they think they are White cracKKKer colonisers and worship anyone with brown skin. To what extent is the DSA made up of people who would actively cheer if I got hacked to death by a random naked Haitian for no reason unless I parroted their talking points constantly and painted my nails weird colours?

I bet my good friend Donald Trump has done Israel’s bidding and went to war so you’d focus on all the dead children in Iran instead of in the files. It’s pretty crazy, I thought for sure the “thanks for the torture video” emails would put an end to my cabal but it looks like they aren’t even touching Wexner. Well I gotta get back to haunting Steve Bannon. Every morning I soak his scalp in some vegetable oil from the kitchen, it’s a great laugh when he doesn’t just give up on showering.

Awesome! I hope the plane took out some financial scum. By the looks of it there was a fire so I hope as many of those imperialist bourgeois pigs were roasted in it. It's a shame the whole building wasn't taken down but the plane was too small. People should start crashing like cargo jets (since then it is a victimless attack apart from some cleaners and other workers in the building) into financial office skyscrapers in order to start culling the bourgeois where they are at their most concentrated in imperialist countries like China or the U$A.

The replies of thread >>2766805 have been so poor I intended to make a new thread, giving a historical overview of the last few decades of the communist movement.

>What is the difference between:
>Mao Zedong Thought [ML-MZT]
>Maoism-ThirdWorldism [M3W]
<Missing: >Classical Marxism-Leninism-Maoism [classical MLM]. Exemplified by Communist Party of the Philippines and Communist Party of India (Maoist) as key leaders and influences.
>Gonzalo Thought [aka "MLM-pM" and "Gonzaloism"]
>How interrelated are they?

Comrades. don't forget these tools:
<Historical materialism.
<General-Particular-General dialectical spiral in analysis.
<Never capitulate proletarian leadership to reactionary classes.
<Analyze the contradictory relationship of petty-bourgeois ideology to scientific socialism-communism throughout time, which always ends just yesterday.
