The entire "everybody acts in a way that is ultimately reducible to their material interests and the ideas they have are just distortions or window dressing" thing is one of the biggest strawmen ever made about communists. It's not that communists think people just follow their interests it's that the system forces people to act within the constraints of material interests. And morality all that good vs. evil shit exists mainly to hide and obscure that fact, that the core reality of capitalism is driven by profit, the competition for money and the harsh truth that without capital, you're left to struggle, that it isn't some natural, self-correcting system, it's man-made, and it runs on the logic of capital, accumulate or collapse.

There is a word "class traitor". So, that view you are talking about is wrong

>>2340533
Eh, I think the self-exploitation of the working class is largely a result of labor arbitrage/monopsony rents due to imperialism/monopoly capital. IMO as well as having other effects, imperialism guarantees a large amount of lumpen, peasants and petty-bourgeoisie. I think that the petty-bourgeoisie can be organized under anti-monopsony rent action, so primarily organizing to support migrant labor such as immigrants and queer people and women moving to the city. Fundamentally, it's in the interests of the petty-bourgeoisie to support migrant labor because they're cheaper labor. The major hostility to migrant labor comes from the labor aristocracy and the trade unions. The bourgeoisie are also opposed to migrant labor because they invest in both sides of the border.

>>2337969
theres just so many retards who think idealism just means "having ideas" or something too

Your body existed before you had self awareness.
Your mind exists only because in the past, your material body would've benefitted from it.
Your brain isn't functional. It's obsolete, and may aswell not exist anymore. You think like a worthless animal that you are.

The War on Drugs in the United States began in the early 1970s, officially declared by terrorist Richard Nixon in 1971. This initiative was a response to rising concerns about drug use, particularly among returning Vietnam veterans and within countercultural movements. The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 laid the groundwork for this campaign, categorizing drugs into schedules based on their potential for abuse and medical utility. The primary goal was to curb drug use and trafficking through strict enforcement measures by punishment and by death.

One of the most significant consequences of the War on Drugs has been its impact on social alienation. The aggressive enforcement strategies employed have led to widespread criminalization of drug users, being used as a disguise to kill off small ethnic groups who did not want to experience yankee sobriety in the wage slave hell. This has resulted in millions being incarcerated for non-violent drug offenses, contributing to a system that prioritizes punishment and death over rehabilitation, care and scientific study. This has also greatly increased the power of pigs who enforce laws which can now kill and rape anyone by planting drugs and pigging out.

this is fucked up

Has anyone here tried microdosing shrooms (or LSD, or ketamine) in order to treat your depression and anxiety? After years of rather unsuccessful therapy and medication, I am so hopeless about life that I'm finally considering doing some psychedelics to rearrange my fucked up brain.

Is the whole "Psychedelics will heal you shit" a myth or has it actually worked for some of you? It seems promising if I look at the research that has been done on it.

is late june too late to plant weed outside?

just moved to a house with a pretty big garden and very tall fences

>>2345659
Microdosing is a tech bro meme. Mediation and macrodosing is what the hippies have been doing for centuries for a reason.

>>2345659
Microdosing is a load of shit that doesn't really do anything for you, a complete waste of good psychedelics. You're much better off doing a supervised trip or seeking out ketamine therapy instead.

How would you respond to the Absurdist critique that life was absurd and will be absurd before and after capitalism?

What exactly about the communist mode of production will alleviate the absurd?

I'm a communist but don't really know how to respond to this.

>>2344859
I'm pretty sure one must struggle regardless. I mean Albert Camus leaned syndicalist IIRC but I don't think absurdism really contradicts communism. Same thing with existentialism and nihilism. Personally, I think of myself as an active nihilist. For me, it is not enough that the world is meaningless but that I must actively participate in the unmaking of the world. I think that the only way to abolish myself is to abolish the material conditions which gave rise to me. For that reason, I reject suicide because I do not think suicide is an active enough form of self-annihilation.

I need to read Huey Newton. He has some ideas on revolutionary suicide IIRC which sounded interesting to me.

>How would you respond to the Absurdist critique that life was absurd and will be absurd before and after capitalism?

God gives his funniest battles to his silliest clowns.

All philosophy beginning with Nietzsche and after is just pointless faffing about to forestall the ultimate conclusion of western philosophy: "enough knowin, start rowin"
Towards communism, that is

Also camus was an imperialist who was against algerian liberation

are you stupid? to mitigate the proliferation of hostilities engendered by capitalistic dominion we must confront its fundamental roots through revolutionary action emphasizing international alliance and mutual support, we can SMASH conflicts initiated by nationalist proletariat inclinations or imperialistic expansion. Promoting expropriation can curtail the sway of profit-driven interests that might ignite conflict. a transmutation away from capitalism is imperative for peace.

You don't get to have a domestic servant/sex slave under communism anon. It's not complicated. Women are not property and womanhood must be abolished.

>>2340661
one might say the abolition of the institution preserves the individual while raising them up to a new status

he meant you should kill your parents

I feel like the petty-bourgeoisie and peasantry are glossed over way too much. It seems clear to me that the family arises from the self-exploitation of the working class. I mean that's literally what the family structure is, one worker exploiting another. It's tricky because the family arises at the boundary between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. It's true that the bourgeois are concerned with property inheritance but the leisure class has no need for the social division of domestic labor. IMO you get the worst misogyny amongst the petty-bourgeoisie, peasants and the lumpen, so the self-exploiting strata of the workers.

>>2340719
>>2340661
>>2340661
The dismantling of the family is a great upheeval .a betrayyal of the very principle of the proletariat, a
fundamenttal denial of the inherrent potential for human liberation that lies within the collective. Stalin and his commitment to the crushhing weight of Marxist principles, He understood, perhaps instinctively, that the traditional fammily is a pitiful monument to capitallist exploitation represented a crippling impediment to the necessary inevitable revolution a future free from inherited privilege and the parasitic hold of the capitalist family it’s a necessary dismantling of a system that perpetuates inequality, a step in the liberation of all humanity

>All cops are bastards
This is true. Bastard profession, evolved from literal slave catching, services the state and capital
>But what if didn't?

Cops and police departments are giant gangs, this is known. Is the solution bringing back one town sheriff the people elect? We're going to be stuck with this system of policing, if not experience a worsening, if the left doesn't buck up and become cops to sabotage from within or start making calls for the return of sheriffs. Yankees love returns to tradition, and having them bring back something we had 100 years ago might be the only way to address this problem head on.

If you actually read Marx for once, specifically what he wrote about the Paris Commune, you'd know any actual communist/socialist is for abolishing the police *immediately*. What was left to act as the enforcement organ of the commune was the national guard, which all people in the commune belonged to. It worked well too

<Wonderful, indeed, was the change the Commune had wrought in Paris! No longer any trace of the meretricious Paris of the Second Empire! No longer was Paris the rendezvous of British landlords, Irish absentees, American ex-slaveholders and shoddy men, Russian ex-serfowners, and Wallachian boyards. No more corpses at the morgue, no nocturnal burglaries, scarcely any robberies; in fact, for the first time since the days of February 1848, the streets of Paris were safe, and that without any police of any kind.

The inability for "marxists" to see a reality without police is just proof of the eternalization of private property within their own mind. The police *only* exist to protect private property. No other reasons. If you think this is just replacing the word "police" with "national guard", that's just showing ignorance of what the police are.

ngl non-state sanctioned gangs also have to worry abt legitimacy too. The largest and most developed set in my old neighborhood would literally hold barbecues and 4th of July events for their neighborhood. Not to mention there recruitment pool is more localizied than a city police department.

>>2303752
in burgerland its not a myth the first modern police department(as in special body of armed men in uniform tied to a local municipal government) was a group of slave catchers down in Charleston south carolina. Cant speak on other countries tho.

If you think we can function without police your a moron

Can we admit that weed culture sucks and is actually destructive for society's well being?
Alcohol sucks too. Drugs shouldn't be banned but drug subculture is cringe. Drug addiction shouldn't be a culture. Psychoactive substances only increase mental health problems and are a detriment for your body. Not saying the end goal of life is to be productive but every stoner I know from high school has seriously failed to even achieve the most basic of everyday tasks such as cooking and self grooming. It's why the crusty stoner who reeks of sweat and pot is a well known stereotype.

alcohol is physically far more dangerous of a substance, and alcohol culture is far more obnoxious and problematic than weed or weed culture. so basically shut the fuck up you retarded baiting faggot.

The annual Socialism Conference in Chicago is just a few short weeks away! Have you secured your ticket yet?

https://socialismconference.org/

The subject came up in the current /ukr/ thread, >>2279417 , specifically the 2019 article by The Gray Zone outing many of the participants as USAID/NED funded glowies:
https://thegrayzone.com/2019/07/06/dsa-jacobin-iso-socialism-conference-us-funded-regime-change/

And the weaksauce rebuttal for what little it's worth:
https://newpol.org/in-defense-of-socialist-internationalism-answering-the-propaganda-of-the-authoritarian-left/

This thread is for discussing the upcoming event, which I think is safe to say will be the tastemaking event of the year as far as pseudo-left talking points are concerned. Why not get a preview of the hottest psy ops and troll topics of the coming year BEFORE they hit forums near you? It's GLOW-CON!
