ITT: we come up with direct replacements for misleading, recuperated, overly-verbose or scary socialist terms.

This isn't for anti-censorship codewords or downplaying our values, this is about sharing words and phrases that avoid someone mid-conversation having to ask "what the fuck is a 'proletariat'?", and "aren't dictatorships bad, even if the dictator is a proletarian?", confusions which could all be avoided by not being out-of-touch academic wankers.

comic rel is obviously a joke, don't be an idiot and waste time critiquing it.

You haven't even scratched the surface. It's no wonder that communists were never actual proles from Marx and Engels until today.

>>2568487
The class position of most communists definitely affects their ideology, but it's not like some genetic determinant thing. Marx Engels Lenin etc were genuine revolutionaries.

>>2568487
Communism has always been one giant pity party. "Oh nooo I feel so bad for my privilege, while actual proles are suffering!" It's kinda sick.

>>2568486
>You must denounce the DPRK, you must spread anti DPRK talking points in order to be a trve communist
>Also the main obstacle to spreading communist ideology is our hypocrisy and discongruent positions

I think you've got your priorities a bit messed up anon. Repeating state department talking points is never helpful, also you might be retarded and a lib sorry

>>2568521
He's right, the main priority of true communists is dying for the freedom of Ukraine, Kurdistan, Taiwan and South Korea against the Axis of Evil Authoritarian States (EAS). After that there will be an epic global revolution where NATO countries will just surrender and the global proles will rule forever.

<1 Planet, 3 Worlds Edition

🏈 💵Thread for hellish discussion of the Dying Burger Reich and the pedophile Hitlerite-Zionist clique of the American bourgeoisie and its iron grip upon the greatest bigliest country McGod™ ever gave McMan™ on the face of the McEarth™🌭 🍔

>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.

the CP hasn't been deleted yet? yeah this website is cooked



 

"turns out conservatives and reactionaries are just dumb after all" edition.

news:
- Your Party is suing itself, more at 11.
- The SNP and Plaid are going to form a "progressive alliance" somehow
- The government's going to do a switcheroo by raising income tax slightly and cutting national insurance to balance it out. (But they won't - follow this to its logical conclusion and scrap NI entirely)
- They're also considering cutting VAT on energy bills (which is the least efficient way of lowering bills you can imagine)
- The board of deputies asked Aston Villa for free footy tickets. In a worrying sign of rising antisemitism, Aston said nah.
- Labour is falling behind the Greens in the opinion polls as their strategy of copying Reform drives away their already-begrudging supporters without winning over any Reform voting reprobates. Nobody could have predicted this.

>>2567349
he's being sued

The destruction of the CPB is the only credible task before the British proletariat.
Keir Starmer could be a mid tier PM if he deported the lot of them to Afghanistan for their cringeworthy behaviour. Good right-wing press headlines, deporting "communists", though admittedly MI5 might be upset to lose their dumbest agents and MI6 might be upset that MI5 agents are muscling in on their territory.

>>2567618
Because the UK is the only Western country that had a serious fucking Socialist movement that survived into the 1980s/1990s with very serious Socialist and Feminist figures that actually had at least, major public profiles.
This means that among especially British Boomers, you have a swath of older Socialists who ACTUALLY READ THEORY and ENGAGE IN STRUCTURAL AND CRITICAL THINKING unlike the current retard Millennial/Zoomer shit for brains left, and could see TRA shit for the disingenious, incoherent post-modernist, misogynistic slop it is.
Btw, even TRA Tumblr ""Feminists"" admit the reason that so many UK feminists are anti-cult, is because UK feminism was far more developed in actual feminist theory, instead of being attached to a general liberal "civil rights" movement like it was elsewhere.
>How did these brainworms emerge, and why specifically Britain?
Pretty sure the brainworms are you retards that literally believe that biological sex isn't real, lesbians are bigots if they don't want to have sex with men and that women went through all of human history as subjugated figures out of choice.
>>2567885
Will BE ever stop being a fueding dramacow and just focus on the actual more academic shit he's decent at?
>>2567663
Still love how you disingenious retards still can't actually argue a coherent point and always go running to the mods like pathetic little shameless cowards you are.

I didn't no Rowling posted here. What's up Joe.

Anonymous Corbyn allies (most likely Independent group types) are leaking to Sky accusations that Zarah is an "ultra-leftist" because she's communicating with various socialist and communist (mostly Trotskyist & Cliffite) parties.

It's really disgusting how communist nostalgia in ex-Warsaw Pact countries has blended into some kind of syncretic nationalist-traditionalist movement that goes against everything Communism is actually supposed to stand for.

>>2567466
Or is it?

The economic and political systems of Stalinism were discredited, only the social/cultural beliefs survived unscathed.

what you would expect from burgerland. the canonized ones from the founding like washington suck but I prefer the later ones from the civil war and gilded age anyway

Hobesbawm called Garibaldi the Castro of bourgeois revolution

>>2567130
>Garibaldi is decent
completely fell for the propaganda award, he suppressed popular uprisings in south Italy and defended not just the bourgeois' interests but the NOBLES' land. an actual semi decent national hero is Mazzini, proto socialist who didnt bend to Sardinia Piedmont.

Zelensky is making bread in Xinjiang

>>2568470
the way he is annoyed at being filmed and occasionally looks at the camera but doesn't ask them to stop reminds me of the famous "king of the egg fort clip"

>>2568465
Being an American is funny, I've dated both Chinese and Jewish women come to think of it. Melting pot and etc.

>>2568475
The Zelensky guy actually has his own social media accounts that he's posting it on. There's also videos of him traveling around in Xinjiang.

>Mongolia is embarking on a bold plan to shift its capital city. It wants to restore the glory of Khakhorum, an ancient site that once served as the centre of the Mongol empire under Genghis Khan. The other potential benefit — bringing relief to its existing capital, which is overcrowded and polluted. Ulaanbaatar was designed for a quarter of a million people, and it now struggles to contain six times that number. That is half of Mongolia's population packed into 0.001% of the country's land. Jack Board reports from the Orkhon Valley in Mongolia.
