Josip Broz Tito: Concerning the National Question and Social Patriotism
What are the phenomena of nationalism? Here are some of them: 1) National egoism, from which many other negative traits of nationalism are derived, as for example — a desire for foreign conquest, a desire to oppress other nations, a desire to impose economic exploitation upon other nations, and so on; 2) national-chauvinism which is also a source of many other negative traits of nationalism, as for example national hatred, the disparagement of other nations, the disparagement of their history, culture, and scientific activities and scientific achievements, and so on, the glorification of developments in their own history that were negative and which from our Marxist point of view are considered negative. And what are these negative things? Wars of conquest are negative, the subjugation and oppression of other nations is negative, economic exploitation is negative, colonial enslavement is negative, and so on. All these things are accounted negative by Marxism and condemned. All these phenomena of the past can, it is true, be explained, but from our point of view they can never be justified. In a socialist society such phenomena must and will disappear. In the old Yugoslavia national oppression by the great-Serb capitalist clique meant strengthening the economic exploitation of the oppressed peoples. This is the inevitable fate of all who suffer from national oppression. In the new, socialist Yugoslavia the existing equality of rights for all nationalities has made it impossible for one national group to impose economic exploitation upon another. That is because hegemony of one national group over another no longer exists in this country. ….

>I've still never thought that "mercantilism" should be considered its own economic system or mode of production though.
The period was never self-described as "mercantilist". It is a derisive term given by liberals, especially after Adam Smith. The term "capitalism" itself is also a 19th century term, when according to Marx, capitalism existed since around 1500 CE, in development.
>>2853854
The Mercantilist period began around 1600 CE and can be seen in various tendencies within the British, Dutch and French empires of the time. We see literature in the early 17th century (highlighted in Antoine Montchretien's "Traicte", 1615) that merchant guilds in the City of London were growing in social power following the joint-stock company of the East India Company (est. 1600), immediately followed by the Dutch East India Company (est. 1602). New legal frameworks such as the laws of the sea (maritime law) were being debated, regarding new mercantile systems of global trade and colonial capture. We see an emphasis on a growing industrial base at the same time however by Antoine Montchretien's primary account of the manufacturing of both Britain and the Netherlands (who were coincidentally the two great protestant powers which in establishing a national church - rather than submitting to Catholic internationalism, economised church property. Marx discusses this in regards to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, 1536-41, were former Church property became privately leased, which if you are inrerested in the saga of British law, overthrow internal debates about "mortmain", or the "dead hands" of "corporate" property). The most famous mercantilist writer is Thomas Mun's "England's Treasure" (1640), in which he emphasises a "balance of trade" as his main objective, which of course is entirely reasonable. Soon after this, we get William Potter (1650) who is subverting the dominant discourse away from the "usury" of creditors for the sake of expanding commerce (Marx also viewed this turn as the interests of industrial capital overtaking interest-bearing capital). This is followed up by Josiah Child (1668) on the same premises. Each of the men demanded a further lowering of the national rate of interest (which since the starPost too long.

To add something basic which was overlooked, William Potter in 1650 proposes a "land bank" to establish lines of national credit for investment, and Marx calls Josiah Child a precedessor to the creditors who establish the Bank of England (1694), which then becomes integral to the national investment in industry, by collecting funds for large-scale development. In the same time, the Netherlands had established a central bank. John Law in the early 18th century was also advocating the same policy for France. The foundation of central banks is then internal to mercantile debates. John Locke himself became a member of the Board of Trade in 1696, like how Isaac Newton became Bank of England treasurer, who in 1717 established the gold standard. So then, interest-bearing capital loses primacy by the consolidation of credit for the sake of investment into industrial capital. Now, the world's first central bank has an interesting history. It was established by the Knights Templar in the 12th century, setting up franchises all over the place, such as the Temple Bank in the City of London. The assets were eventually seized on October 13, 1307 (which was also a massively corrupt era of the Catholic Church - the accusations of the Templars being idolaters who worship Baphomet equally apply to the institution as a whole - even barring the later selling of "indulgences" to piss off Luther). This was the beginning of the end of the medieval era, as the Black Death came soon after, along with the dissolution of feudalism in England, and the rediscovery of antiquity in the Renaissance, finally leading up to the Protestant Reformation.

You are reading it wrong. The vertical collummn is the group who is being rated horizontal is group giving rating. Every single group has positive opiniom of Jews, but this was an old rating before oct 7. Seems the jewish media does the PR campaign well, but I think the last few uears may have finally been a bridge to far even for the best hasbara.

I'm not against participating in elections, I just don't think it's how we obtain power. Having allies in high places will help, but even if we somehow took control of the government through electoralism we'd have to fight a war to meaningfully wrench power out of the hands of the bourgs. Violence is inevitable.

Well I don't disagree with that, I just think that the people who are putting a ton of hope into these elected officials are setting themselves up for dissapointment. It wouldn't hurt to get somebody on CSPAN talking about unequal exchange theory.

It gave them the legitimacy to do that, they'd probably have done so anything, but strong enough pressure on the left could have had stopped this in certain countries.

strong enough pressure = revolution and SJWs were not gonna do that ever lol

I disagree, this is something that could have been legislated in. I can even see bipartisan support for it.

The SNP haven't been a single issue party since the 1980s, since then they've carved out a very clear social democratic and anti-war position which is ultimately why they took power in 2007 (Scottish Labour surrendered this position by becoming right wing warmongers),their strategy has been to win people over to independence by showing that Scottish nationalism is the only route to social democracy in contrast to an increasingly reactionary UK.
although they've succumbed to most of the bad institutional incentives of the UK and nowadays don't really have a plan or strategy at all and are mostly firefighting a string of bad decisions. Still, it is some measure of how bad the alternatives are that they nevertheless won the recent Scottish elections.

It is true that some TERFs are "real" 1970s radfems but the median TERF is a small-c conservative type how knows homophobia is a bride too far. The average TERF org is a wokewashed conservative group based in Tufton Street alongside tax-cut wankers and climate change denials coasting off US evangelical funding and randomly dipping into homophobia (like opposing bans on conversion therapy or demanding children are outed to their parents)
I have family with such sympathies and they were all "judge people by merit instead of having quotas, I was hired because I'm good not because I'm a woman" types with no particular animus to transgender people who suddenly u-turned and now won't shut up about their new hobby.
