When Marx and Engels said this they just meant abolition of inheritance and unpaid labour by women. Not the abolition of lasting kinship ties and replacing it with dumbass situationships and polycules some self declared "anarchists" called a commune

Morality, as a set of taught principles that one must live by, is conservative. Every system of rules has loopholes that let us out of a bind when the rules get in the way of the powerful.

Empathy is when you care about other people. This is a motivating factor for people, but it's hard to be empathetic all the time, and it's especially hard to put empathy over self interest when they conflict.

Solidarity is the understanding that our fates are tied up together, so what hurts you hurts me and what uplifts you uplifts me. It is a motivation derived from self interest that supports combined efforts and pro-social behavior.

I think we should focus most on solidarity, some on empathy, and least on morals.

This is a good post, I've never thought of solidarity like this - as rational self-interest. It sort of pains me to place significance on rational self-interest at all, even in the form of solidarity, perhaps for fear of chauvanism, and opposition to broad coalition building (some of which you in fact see). The trick, I guess obviously, is to identify with the right things.

It's critical to note that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex is in addition to being responsible for moral emotions, is also responsible for formation of identity. That these areas are processed in the same region has lead some to speculate that our identity is inseparable from our value system. So perhaps the political project, and what justifies revolution (to those not directly in dire need) is change in this identity moral emotion conglomeration.

How much of the enlightenment and subsequently modern culture could just be an attempt to identify with (non-slave) humanity or more precisely as a (free) human.

>>2661893
ugh. no. no. no. I doubt you meant self-interest is just a matter of identity here. There's a rational calculation at play. I need to think again.

>>2660563
>I think we should focus most on solidarity, some on empathy, and least on morals.
I'm really struggling with how different this mode of thinking is. My basic understanding of the position is that solidarity is effectively rational self-interest with coalition building as a means. I don't see how this mechanism serves to justify for example working men to have supported women's liberation or Israeli Jews to oppose genocide - chauvinism.

Even if it's just feelings one gets the impression that there's some difficulty in convincing others or oneself without there being reasons even if these aren't entirely rational but thought experiments designed to elicit emotional responses. Another example is prison liberation where prisoners are often seen as having "deserved" their situation, and so as to justify their imprisonment without even any moral feeling but rightful.

is there any actual organized revolutionary movements in the west anymore?

Video contradicts Trump’s claim man killed in Minneapolis was a ‘gunman’
Video recorded by another witness, who was standing behind Pretti, obtained by Drop Site News, showed that Pretti continued recording the immigration enforcement operation on his phone, as other observers blew their whistles and honked their horns, and appeared to direct traffic so that cars could pass the scene. The same clip showed that Pretti then stepped in to defend another observer who was shoved to the ground by a federal officer. That officer sprayed Pretti with a chemical agent, repeatedly, before tackling him to the street along with two other agents.

Immigrant families protest at Texas facility housing 5-year-old boy, father detained in Minnesota
Dozens of immigrant families protested Saturday behind the fences of a Texas detention facility where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent this week after being detained in Minnesota. Aerial photos taken by The Associated Press showed children and parents at the South Texas Family Residential Center clad in jackets and sweaters, some of them holding signs that included “Libertad para los niños,” or “Liberty for the kids.”

Charity director stole $23M in homeless funds to support luxurious lifestyle, DOJ alleges
A Westwood man was charged on Friday for fraudulently obtaining $23 million in homeless funds and spending the money meant for his charity to support his lavish lifestyle, which included the purchase of a vacation property in Greece and shopping sprees at Chanel and Hermes, federal and Los Angeles authorities jointly announced Friday. Alexander Soofer, 42, was expected to appear in federal court Friday as he faced the charges of wire fraud, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said.

Imperialism 101 by Michael Parenti Excerpted from Against Empire
Imperialism has been the most powerful force in world history over the last four or five centuries, carving up whole continents while oppressing indigenous peoples and obliterating entire civilizations. Yet, it is seldom accorded any serious attention by our academics, media commentators, and political leaders. When not ignored outright, the subject of imperialism has been sanitized, so that empires become “commonwealths,” and colonies become “territories” or “dominions” (or, as in the case of Puerto Rico, “commonwealths” too). Imperialist military interventions become matters of “national defense,” “national security,” and maintaining “stability” in one or another region. In this book I want to look at imperialism for what it really is.

Dem-Backed ICE Body Cams Are a Giveaway to Weapons Makers
Amid President Donald Trump’s violent immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, industry-backed Democrats just helped congressional Republicans turn proposed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reforms into a $20 million windfall for the body camera industry. Federal disclosures reviewed by the Lever show that Axon Enterprise, Inc., a weapons company and the country’s largest manufacturer of body-worn cameras, has lobbied aggressively since July on the $64 billion Department of Homeland Security spending bill that lawmakers passed on Thursday. The company’s CEO, a regular campaign contributor to Republicans, also donated directly to key Democratic lawmakers who pushed for the body camera measures. Now, the company is well-positioned to reap the benefits of the $20 million allocated by the legislation for body cameras as part of ICE’s extended $10 billion budget, on top of the $75 billion in additional funding the agency received from the One Big Beautiful bill last year. Axon has faced lawsuits for monopolizing the police body camera market and raising prices on local government contracts. Its profits have soared despite recent studies casting doubt on body cameras’ ability to curb law enforcement misconduct. The homeland security spending bill has faced public opposition as unrest grows nationwide over ICE’s tactics. But instead of organizing against thePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

When Syria's Mukhabarat offices were being raided by HTS they found evidence Syria knew about 9/11 but didn't warn anyone, so presumably others knew too.

If you stood for Gaza, stand for Rojava.

>Marx extracted Idealism from Hegel
But not every idealism. One still remains- Marx's assumption that Humans are the dialectical subject, and Human Will excercise agentic power over the world. This anthropocentrism is not a scientific principle but an idealistic one. Nick Land's focus on Capitalism itself manifesting with Humans being nothing more than an evolutionary middle link makes more sense once you remove the idealist assumption that humans are the centre of the world
