/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

Happy 80th birthday United Nations! Let's all celebrate the nations coming together and discuss various topics affecting our world for 80 years by commemorating all the great achievements UN has done, such as uh… ummm….

A materialist analysis of the current epoch leads to a challenging conclusion: the path to dismantling imperialism does not directly lead to communism. The primary force capable of breaking the back of the current U.S.-led imperialist system is the independent capitalist development of the Global South. By building sovereign industrial and technological capacity, these nations can make their own economic exploitation unviable.

However, this process of national liberation is a bourgeois project. It is led by forces whose objective is not the abolition of class, but the creation of a national capitalist state. In this struggle, the internal class antagonism is temporarily masked by the unifying fight against a foreign oppressor.

We must therefore be clear: to expect communism to emerge organically from this process is a strategic and theoretical error. The outcome will be the consolidation of new, indigenous American, European and Russian haute bourgeoisie, not the dictatorship of the proletariat.

I mean it is kind of neat, but it is really just soft power. Really odd soft power, because communist parties are such a small niche by comparision…

What were you like before you became a lefty/socialist?

Ah, I remember before I adhered to socialism, I was, and may yaldabeoh forgive me for uttering this, a libertarian.

I know many adopted socialism extremely early, that was not the case for me as I was almost always a libertarian, but I never really aligned myself with rightoids, neither did I align with other lefties, I was a sort of centrist, or in better words, a pussy fence sitter thinking I had attained true enlightenment by thinking that "both sides is… LE BAD". The process of me turning into a lefty was an extremely slow one, but it was always because rightoids seemed like retards, and I noticed most problems can easily be traced back to them. All things changed of course when I saw the complete right wing degeneracy under trump, the failings of the economy and eventually getting to read theory…

So were you always sort of Socialist? Or did you gradually shift to it? What were you like before being a left?

I haven't been keeping up with Nick Land but he's been making a lot more public appearances on like a bunch of different faggy podcasts and it's like what the fuck happened to this guy
>National Liberalism, time angels, divine providence?
He's completely defanged his entire project and it just comes off as more gay christian hermetic stuff

Also yea I know a lot of people on here don't like acceleratonism and think its retarded and stuff but idk I still think his early stuff is cool

Go on dole. That is what I am doing.

I worked for government for like 6 months and realised the government does not give a shit about how many people are abusing their services; it's mainly welfare fraud they care about which costs them millions and is in the hands of the very few.

In my country of Australia, there are more people on JobSeeker Payments than ever. But there is also absolutely nothing stopping a communist party from committing welfare fraud by putting in false applications in some fake person's name and collecting it from an ATM.

It’s honestly fascinating how China seems to be the only major civilization that hasn’t lost its grip on reason. Around 93% of Chinese citizens identify as non-religious, which, in this era of mass delusion, pseudo-spiritual performance art, and the aggressive rise of Christian fundamentalism, feels revolutionary. While much of the world is slipping deeper into superstition, conspiracy, and the intellectual decay of blind faith, China’s over there building bullet trains, quantum tech, and next-century infrastructure.

The contrast is wild. The West, once obsessed with enlightenment and progress, is now knee-deep in astrology memes, evangelical hysteria, and moral panic, dragging itself back into some digital Dark Age. Meanwhile, China, with its secular pragmatism and forward-facing ambition, feels like the only adult left in the room.

In a world so allergic to logic, China’s commitment to modernity feels less like politics and more like prophecy, a glimpse of what a truly 21st-century civilization could be. At this point, it might just be humanity’s last tether to sanity.

Still, why did libertarianism become strangely popular among various types of popular media figures, like comedians, filmmakers, and actors?

🗽 UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅

<C'mon, Pop Already! Edition

Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich: Things are going to continue to happen in the stupidest ways possible that no one really takes seriously, where every single person compulsively reacts with either cynical grifting or useless panic and appealing to a political system of liberal democracy that is entirely dead and irrelevant. things will continue to get gradually worse, more people will lose their jobs and homes, the most destitute and marginalized will be oppressed by state-backed domestic terrorism, but the decay will simply continue and everyone who isn't actively being imprisoned and forced into slavery or outright exterminated will simply ignore it and maintain a cognitive dissonance of believing a civil war is happening while living their lives in a mostly normal fashion. The death of the United States will be slow, painful, and insufferably annoying and stupid. 🏈 💵

How am I supposed to avoid falling into doomerist thinking when the current state of the world seems so hopeless?

I know that any good leftist isnt meant to succumb to such nihilism but I just cant seem to stop slipping into it.

It's like no progress is being made (atleast here in Amerikkka) and instead any progress is being reverted, with conservatism becoming more popular and dominant, progressive laws being reverted, the continued destruction of the planet, Ai making the masses dumber and a general lack of class consciousness.

I just dont understand how other comrades can still stay so hopeful and determined under these conditions.
