Yeah but libs have tried to put xi in a "craaazy dictator" mold a la saddam even before the genocide hoax.

I think it's basically just racism imo. Same type of racism as the "craaazy middle eastern dictator with ak-47" stereotype.

To the idealists on this site, violence does work. Despite how hard it is to believe this, African Americans have become the least likely people to experience police violence within the United States. Why? The reasons are complicated, but it boils down to face saving on the part of the us police force.
For those not aware of this, the US police force has faced legitimized defunding, riots, and has been blamed directly for insinuating dozens of race riots for the past century that have left upwards of hundreds of people dead. Regardless of your stance on American race politics and police violence, the US police force is ultimately blamed for most of this violence specifically because it’s the direct cause for most of this oddly specific form of it. The US federal government overtime grew increasingly intolerant of the US police force’s actions specifically because that behaviour of that institution does legitimately put the national security of the country as a whole st risk, and the US federal government cannot risk any more instances of mass violence breaking out in a time where the USA is weaker politically than ever. The fact that a single cop fucking up badly with showing restraint towards black Americans is enough to send the entire country in a frenzy is enough of a scare to the US federal government to mandate cops to just “fuck off and leave them be.”
Since the George Floyd riots, the US police force has seen funding cuts, some divisions entirely defunded, and many more reorganized specifically to avoid insinuating any more violence that could jeapordize the safety of the country.

Does this mean that the US police force has completely professionalized and stopped engaging in police brutality? No. Does this mean that us cops have suddenly become less racist? Sort of, but no. Does this mean that African Americans stopped being victims of police violence? To an extent, but a better answer is simply much less than before. And there’s a lesson to all of this.

Beating and terrorizing the ever loving shit out of people for messing with your life works.

Individual Acts
1933

Many divergent positions have been taken up on the burning of the Reichstag by Van Der Lubbe. In the organs of the communist left (Spartacus, Radencommunist) it was approved as the act of a revolutionary communist. To approve and applaud such an act means calling for it to be repeated. That's why it's important to understand what use it had.

Its only meaning could be to hit, to weaken, the ruling class, the bourgeoisie. There can be no question of this here. The bourgeoisie hasn't been at all hurt by the burning of the Reichstag. Its rule hasn't in any way been weakened. On the contrary, the government has seized the opportunity to strengthen considerably its terror against the workers movement. The ultimate consequences of this have yet to be appreciated.

But even if such an act really did hit or weaken the bourgeoisie, the only consequence of this would be to encourage the workers to believe that such individual acts could liberate them. The great truth that they have to learn, that only the mass action of the entire working class can defeat the bourgeoisie, this basic truth of revolutionary communism, would be obscured from them. It would lead them away from autonomous class action. Instead of concentrating all their forces on propaganda within the working masses revolutionary minorities would exhaust their energies in individual acts which, even when carried out by a large and dedicated group, would in no way shake the domination of the ruling class. With its considerable auxiliary forces, the bourgeoisie could easily master such a group. There has rarely been a minority group which carried out such actions with the devotion, sacrifice and energy of the Russian nihilists half-a-century ago. At certain moments it even seemed that, through a series of well-organized individual assassinations, they would succeed in overthrowing Tsarism. But a French policeman, called in to take over the anti-terrorist struggle in place of the incompetent Russian police, succeeded with his Western energy and organization to annihilate nihilism in a few years. It was only afterwards, with the development of the mass movement, that Tsarism was overthrown.

But doesn't such an act have a value as a demonstration against the abject electoralism which serves to derail the workers' struggles? A demonstraPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Lone wolf and small cell terrorism can frighten the bourgeoisie into temporarily giving the working class some concessions. The same thing happened in Italy because of the Red Brigades. Temporary concessions are not socialist revolutions. People have been trying propaganda of the deed for almost 150 years and it never works.

>People have been trying propaganda of the deed for almost 150 years and it never works.

By your logic it works, just not “fully and permanently changing society on a societal level” works.

>>2290934
If your goal is succdem reforms it can work partially and temporarily. If your goal is helping the bourgeoisie justify suppressing proletarians before they're mature enough to handle that it can also work. If your goal is being a one man spark that lights the revolution, which is how potd is usually understood and promoted by people who fall for it, then you are an idealist and it cannot work. If your goal is to satisfy some moral impulse then you are an idealist.

If you 'denounce' the historical real socialism that existed and exists, you can't be a communist.
>but those were not real communism
Real communism is the movement which abolishes the current state of things (private property the alienation of species-being) and it is the expansion of worker association to international terms. To think 'communism' can be reduced to just a single historical act is silly. It is, after all, a process. Real socialism was one such historical act in a chain of many to come.
>okay, they are communist, but they are totalitarian! They are authoritarian!
Those are empty words liberal ideolouges use to justify equating the Soviet anti-colonial socialist project and the Nazifascistic colonial Lebensraum project, to keep the status quo of liberal representative democracy as the 'only democratic nonauthoritarian' society.

And you will defend the People's Republics of China, Vietnam, Laos, Cuba, Belarus and the DPRK. You will study Cuban agroecology and you will learn to live with nature. You will have Chinese high speed rails and high quality Belarusian agricultural machinery. You will be happy.

I do not denounce the socialist states of the past, but the very same socialist states denounced thier own progress and reverted back to capitalism leading to the erasure of all socialist powers to this day. If you cannot acknowledge this fact you cannot be a communist today and infact only continue to propagate the revisionist lies that led to the retreat of socialism.

>I thought the point of MMT was to print money to tax capitalists indirectly.
Wrong. The point of Keynesianism and MMT is to print money, give it to capitalists, and drive down real wages by inflation so they can hire more labor to offset the crises of capital.
>That inflation devalues savings which is largely owned by capitalists
Devaluing savings means making investment possible by driving down real wages. The inflation compels the worker to work for lower real wages which makes investment possible or more profitable.
>the printed money can be allocated by the state towards the public.
The printed money goes to capitalists, not the public.

>>2290233
Well yes in practice that does seem to be the case.

File: 1748694956720.png (77.12 KB, 1280x720, Graph 28-3.png)

>well yeah but where does the text say that?
it says that inflation acts as taxation - which today, is used to fund capitalists.
>so then MMT is keynesian?
its "post-keynesian", originating in the thought of people like hymen minsky and warren moseler - who has reported that he has never read adam smith or karl marx. he's not an economist, but a financial adviser. MMT has more academic grounding in economic historians like l. randall wray, and some political thinkers of MMT include michael hudson and david graeber.
>was it also like that in keynes' time?
well keynes directly cites the sinister attitude of the state keeping itself alive.
>>2290225
>inflation devalues savings which is largely owned by capitalists
only cash savings. capital assets rise in value during inflation.
>then the printed money can be allocated by the state towards the public. Isn't that what Keynes claimed to advocate?
well, it all depends. keynes approaches the classical theory of say's law ("supply creates its own demand"), and reverses this to be keynes' law of effective demand ("demand creates its own supply"). the strategy for keynes is in raising aggregate demand (AD) in the economy, thus. this is the mechanism which enables prosperity to keynes. AD may be raised in diverting savings into investment, as he writes here:
<"If we are to continue to draw the voluntary savings of the community into “investments,” we must make it a prime object of deliberate State policy that the standard of value, in terms of which they are expressed, should be kept stable; adjusting in other ways (calculated to touch all forms of wealth equally and not concentrated on the relatively helpless “investors”) the redistribution of the national wealth, if, in course of time, the laws of inheritance and the rate of accumulation have drained too great a proportion of the income of the active classes into the spending control of the inactive." [tract on monetary reform, ch. 1, sct. 1]
saving counts as economic inactivity (this is also why investing in capital assets is the best form of "saving"). keynes is also more direct on economic equality and redistribution here:

>keynes also cites market anarchist silvio gesell

The "Market Anarchist" in question:
>In April 1919, Gesell received a call from Ernst Niekisch from the revolutionary government of Bavarian Soviet Republic to come to Munich. This offered him a seat in the so-called Socialization Commission and he was appointed shortly, on suggestion of Erich Müchsam and Gustav Landauer, as the "People's Representative for Finance" (German: Volksbeauftragte für Finanzen) situated in Munich. Gesell worked with law Professor Karl Polenske [de] from the University of Greifswald and the Swiss physician and mathematician Theophil Friedrich Christen. He wrote a law for the creation of Freigeld (Free Money), a currency system he had developed. However, his term lasted for only seven days.
>After the violent end of Soviet Republic, Gesell was arrested. There he shared a cell with the poet Gustav Gräser, whose writing on revolution he funded. After several months in prison, he was acquitted on July 1919 in a high treason trial for his self-defense speech in front of a Munich court martial.[1] He claimed that he didn't have anything to do with the political decisions of the Republic and was just trying to offer a plan to restructure the economy.[10] The legal costs of the process were paid by the state treasury. However, he, Gräser, and others was deported from Bavaria. Immediately after his discharge, Gesell and his supporters resumed their activism for his revolutionary ideas

Keynes chads stay winning. A true Keynesian always ends up working for the bolsheviks.

>>2290306
>which today, is used to fund capitalists.
Thats always been Keynes problem. He separates economics from politics, not knowing "democracy" is DotB and needing a DotP to do what he says he wants.

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.

ts got me thinking is there any anti-communist critiques nowadays that even understand wtf marx was even talking about and isnt so far detached from historical reality that it might as well be a fairy tale. The OG fascists literally read capital and even shit like Animal Farm had some substance to it and was at least based of real historical events that actually happened(just a distorted trot view of them). Now it seems like you could take quotes from Marx attribute them to Pat Buchanan and these people wouldn't even notice. It would be like if one of us made a video on ᴉuᴉlossnW and didnt even know about and read the doctrine of fascism, had no idea who gentile is and couldn't even find Italy on a map and just went off pop history and vibes. the fall off is real

Given everything that's come out during the Diddy trial, I find it highly suspicious that Clive Davis hasn't been mentioned once.

Clive Davis is arguably the most powerful man in the entertainment industry, moreso than Lucian Grainge and whomever runs Disney. He is 92 years old and an ultra-billionaire porky. Like Diddy, there have been rumors swarming for years that Davis is behind a lot of shady shit, namely running Epstein-like sex trafficking rings in the music industry since the 1970s. It is a known fact Davis was involved in one of the biggest payola scandals in the music industry in the 2000s. He is also known to commit tax fraud/evasion. Yet he hasn't been charged with anything. This can be explained by the suspicions Davis is a federal informant who's been working with the FBI for decades to get blackmail dirt on celebrities, identical to Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Davis essentially buckbroke Diddy when Diddy first entered the music industry. Everything Diddy is currently charged with are things he learned from Davis. It gets deeper when you look at the trial. Diddy, like his mentor Davis, is also an alleged FBI informant. It's rumored Diddy orchestrated Tupac's murder (the feds wanted Pac dead because he was a Black communist breadpilling people through his rhymes) and almost certainly had something to do with Biggie's death as well. The prosecutor against Diddy is allegedly James Comey's daughter, Comney being the same prosecutor in the Epstein/Maxwell case. Given that the prosecution is currently floundering (they have yet to prove Diddy is a sex trafficker, only that he's a sexual pervert with a piss and cuckold fetish) one can easily see that this is allegedly a cover up of an alleged cover up: either Diddy walks free and everyone involved goes about doing their evil, or Diddy is found guilty and becomes the fall guy while the bigger villains (specifically Davis) go unchecked.

To put the cherry on the sundae: Clive Davis owns a school at NYU, the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Everyone who teaches there is getting paid by Clive; you can clearly see an overlap with the Congress for Cultural Freedom.

There's actually a lot of human trafficking involved in the industries you listed. But yeah, I doubt any capitalist bosses from those industries will face justice. It's more that Americans ascribe mythical qualities to the entertainment industry.

it's because he's white and on a different level of wealth than diddy.

>, imagine thinking EUROVISION of all things has any influence over foreign policy
It's the other way around. Foreign policy and intelligence have big influence over entertainment and with the idiot circus that is Eurovision it is obvious, one must be particular ignorant to not notice that this show is all about international politics in general and pro EU propaganda in particular, since a long time. On top of the show itself glowing like crazy the voters are petty nationalists.
In the private entertainment industry the influence of the bourgeoisie is more direct than with public broadcasters. Record labels and publishers operate internationally so they need to pick light tropes in order to sell worldwide. So aside from non-political tropes mainstream popstars are mainly praising the american dream i.e. capitalism and liberalism, but certain "scandals" might have a foreign policy background with glowies spinning intrigues.

>>2284955
With the Dutroux case you'll have a hard time finding sources that are still alive and chances are if you decide to dig too deep in that hole you might lose your life in a car accident or go missing too. Also, Gladio was and still is certainly not the only active and highly criminal stay-behind-organisation linked with the haute bourgeoisie, politics, law enforcement and military.
In my state there was a case linking politics, judges and law enforcement to prostitution of minors, drugs etc. which never got solved and probably never will because journalists who dug into it ended up getting officially declared as "psychotic".

“But Hamas! ” The following is an excerpt from The New York Times’ bestseller, Genocide Bad: Notes on Palestine, Jewish History, and Collective Liberation, by Sim Kern.
When you say “Genocide bad,” Zionists will counter, “But Hamas [did something terrible].” “But Hamas” comments try to derail you from talking about Israeli violence by asking you to first address the violence of the Palestinian resistance. Comments might sound like, “Do you condemn Hamas?” or “But Hamas started this!” They may share facts, such as, “Hamas abducted children,” lies such as, “Hamas beheaded babies,” or—trickiest of all—partial truths, like, “Hamas calls for a genocide of Jews in its charter.” As I’m writing this chapter, Israel has just invaded Lebanon, and this familiar refrain on cable news networks has shifted to, “But Hezbollah!” If Israel continues expanding its regional war, Hasbarists will continue responding to any criticism of Israel by asking you to first condemn any local populations daring to take up arms and resist their own extermination. It’s up to you whether you want to get derailed here. Because sometimes we do need to talk about Hamas. We need to talk about the important distinction between violence that comes from imperial colonizers versus violence that comes from Indigenous people defending their homes. Though if you start down that road, you’re going to have to define what you mean by “colonizers” and “Indigenous,” and you’ll get drawn into debating the meaning of Indigeneity.[1] But notice—you were trying to say “Genocide bad,” and now they’ve got you arguing semantics! We also need to contradict blatant lies about the Palestinian resistance, like the “Hamas beheaded babies” story. It’s important to clarify that, no, they did not. That story proved to be false. Israelis are the only military force that have actually beheaded babies over the past year, babies like Ahmad Al-Najr, eighteen months old, whose head was severed from his body in the bombing of a Rafah tent encampment on May 26, 2024. The video of Ahmad’s father, shaking his headless child’s body, wailing in agony as people burned alive in the holocaust of tents behind him, was the worst thing I’ve ever seen, even after a year of this digitally broadcasted genocide.
So Israel beheads babies, not Hamas. Remember: every accusation, a confession.

The ruling class doesn’t martyr real threats, it erases them. If the media attacks you, it means they see utility in you, not danger. Real revolutionaries are met with silence, not headlines. Ask Eugene Debs how much NYT coverage he got while rotting in prison. Spoiler alert: None.

He served a few years in prison and tried running for president 5 times, obviously with no hope of winning.

Cool dude I'm sure, but not martyr material.
