Ask not what communism can do for you, but what you can do for communism.

Communism is NOT a religion, but it is an embodied social practice, "the real movement to abolish the present state of things," and one important thing that can be borrowed from religious studies which applies to embodied social practices in general is this: Credibility Enhancing Dispolays. i.e. "Actions speak louder than words." According to sociological and anthropological research, there are more effective ways to convince someone to believe in god than making arguments. Religious apologetics are demonstrably less effective than other forms of social influence like Credibility Enhancing Displays or trauma. It is practice, not doctrine, which produces converts. I suspect the same is true of secular movements like communism.

>the proletariat will naturally support communism because it is in their class interests.

To an extent, but only a small percentage of the proletariat becomes party members, and at the same time there are remarkable class traitors like Engels. We have to look at what motivates someone to actually join the movement, and not simply "support" it in words. And the answer is risking your life to bring it about. The best way to convince people that communism is important and valuable is not memorizing Marx quotes or slandering other communists as revisionist and opportunist, but sacrificing yourself to bring it about.

If credibility enhancing displays like martyrdom on behalf of faith, enduring torture by the regime on behalf of faith, going to war on behalf of faith, and sacrificing personal belongs on behalf of faith can increase the faith of those around you, then it can also increase the communism of the proletariat around you. They will see communism is the real deal if they see people fighting and dying to bring it about. This is what the academic marxists fail to understand even if they can perfectly recall the letter of marxism.

In the New Testament, Pharisees are seen as people who place the letter of the law above the spirit (Mark 2:3–28, 3:1–6). Thus, "Pharisee" has entered the language as a pejorative for one who does so. In Communism, who is the phariPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You may have heard of Bosnia, but you probably did not know that is not a sovereign and independent state, it is a NATO colony. This isn't hyperbole, this is a fact.

Bosnia has something called a "High Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
https://www.ohr.int/en/
This is a NATO-appointed governor who must approve all elections and elected officials, all laws and pretty much everything else that has to do with governance. Liberals refer to this person as a "powerful peace envoy" lol.

*Why is it relevant?*
The governor is about to change. The US and EU will each try to install their own.

*Why is Bosnia important?*
Bosnia is the only Muslim country in Europe. This means that it is the only country whose banks can hold money of observant Muslims. A lot of money going from Middle East to Europe goes through Bosnia.

Bosnia's location is in the heart of the Balkans. It is a gateway from central Europe to Balkans, Black and Aegean Seas. Geographically it is mountainous and covered in forests. It is very easy to have guerrillas/insurgents/partisans running around Bosnia causing trouble.

While rightoids made a clown show of the whole situation, as usual, with their antivaxx conspiratard bullshit featuring Favci killing one trillion goyim with MNRA black magic, i still don't understand what was the rational behind the lockdowns and demolishing the supply chain. How does the bourgeoisie profit from it? Why even third world war torn shithole like Lebanon or Sudan did it? Why did China?
It felt like all of our elites became insane.

The term "antisemitism" has lost all meaning for me. In a lot of western countries they have an entire year's worth of history curriculum dedicated to the holocaust, which is very real and did happen, but anyway… my point here is that when the media says "antisemitism" they want to conjure up the image of neo-nazis and white power "people" when most of the time they are talking about Palestinians who had their land forcefully expropriated in the same way that the native americans did. One group wants genocide, one is actively fighting against a genocide, yet they are both treated as "antisemitism" by the media. It's such a slick and disingenuous use of the term. That's why I can't stand when I hear it these days

Communism is an impossibility, you’re never getting rid of the division of labor. Even if you got rid of entrepreneurs and investors and replaced them with the state you’ll never have factory workers doing brain surgery or high level accounting. Unless you rotate which sector sets the government agenda (which will inevitably benefit itself above the wider community) you’re just going to have a dictatorship of HR departments, which would be worse than the status quo.

Ibn Khaldun already had a labor theory of value and theory of evolution in 1377:

https://traditionalhikma.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/The-Muqaddimah-by-Ibn-Khaldun-Translated-by-Franz-Rosenthal.pdf

Evolution:
>The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and to reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of the monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man after (the world of monkeys). This is as far as our (physical) observation extends.

Labor Theory of Value:
>Now, as we shall mention, labor is the real basis of profit. When labor is not appreciated and is done for nothing, the hope for profit vanishes, and no (productive) work is done. The sedentary population disperses, and civilization decays.

>Soviet Archives

Reminder: There is no monolithic Soviet archives. It's an umbrella term usually to refer to the over a dozen central state archives in Moscow, which over the course of several mergers, acquisitions, and Renamings got the main previously classified government records and communist party records. Certain collections are open to the public. Other archives might be invitation only or by request of scholars. There are certain records that to this day are still classified, especially retaining to some of the operations of the Cheka, NKVD, and KGB are deemed to still be relevant to Russian national security and are usually within the FSB archives. The term could also include regional and local archives across the country and in other former Soviet countries. In the broadest sense it could even refer to archives completely outside the former Soviet Union, which have a Soviet documentary focus.

So just keep that in mind any time anyone refers to "the soviet archives" in a casual conversation. Maybe interrogate what they mean by that, regardless of whose "side" they appear to be on.
