It wasn't until prohibition started that drug abuse rates began to skyrocket, the fact that you jump on the negatives of generalizing drugs to stgimatize rather than the fact that they have beneficial uses is pretty damning evidence you've been affected by the drug war propaganda, ignoring that certain "drugs" are also used to treat schizophrenia whilst broadly condeming "drugs" can only come to a holistic conclusion of christian science.

How can communists in the imperial core be normal?

Not really sure how to explain the problem. It just seems in general like there's an extreme lack of interpersonal skills, patience, pragmatism and empathy for others. IDK just seems very dysfunctional.

I don't think eugenics is appropriate. The DSA is silly about it though. Semi-relevant:

> Every sense organ is injured by the artificially high temperatures, by the dust-laden atmosphere, by the deafening noise, not to mention the danger to life and limb among machines which are so closely crowded together, a danger which, with the regularity of the seasons, produces its list of those killed and wounded in the industrial battle. The economical use of the social means of production, matured and forced as in the hothouse by the factory system, is turned in the hands of capital into systemic robbery of what is necessary for the life of the worker while he is at work, i.e. space, light, air and protection against the dangerous or the unhealthy concomitants of the production process, not to mention the theft of the appliances for the comfort of the worker.

Well OP is asking for to much, only incels and sex pest exist nowadays. Normies are a minority and everyone is just getting weirder and weirder. And honestly why wouldn’t people be getting weird?

I think people will become more normal if socialized properly. Everyone is an autist because imo they have ads and nonsensical images being beamed into their eyeballs 24/7 and going outside cost $75 minimum. Have org get togethers where you have to leave your phone behind, do bbqs, speed dating events, potlucks, and other community type shit. There’s a massive community shaped hole in most Americans lives because socializing has a huge upfront cost and it’s not guaranteed you’ll even get anything out of it. Meanwhile posting and farting around on the internet is practically free. Which unfortunately is why everyone has become a type of online creature.

>but I thought this would make people understand that the socialist is not obliged to be defeatist for both sides during every imperialist war
I've always thought that insisting on defeatism in all cases was a gross misapplication of Lenin. He supported his position with careful analysis of thr conditions that prevailed at the time. He never said that communist should never take sides in wars between capitalist powers under all circumstances.

>>2592343
It seems that the divide is generational. The RCWP-CPSU was originally critical of the war, then supportive, which caused a split especially by younger members. Left-Front is extremely anti-putin but pro war, its leader is under arrest for social media posts. Labour Front despite being anti-revisionist joined up with the CPRF over the war. A few communist movements have been banned over their views which shows how precarious it is about how critical and uncritical you're allowed to be.

People associate his words with WW1, which of course was such a pointless obviously nationalistic war that every communist was against it. People assume all wars, except ones obviously conducted by a full-on communist state, have to fall under these rules.

<A classified addendum to the Trump administration’s 2025 National Security Strategy outlines a roadmap for the active fragmentation of the European Union, according to sensitive documents obtained by Defense One.

<The "extended version" of the strategy marks a radical departure from postwar foreign policy. It explicitly directs U.S. officials to bypass Brussels and cultivate exclusive relationships with specific nations, with the ultimate objective of detaching them from the bloc.

<The document identifies Austria, Hungary, Italy, and Poland as primary targets for this diplomatic destabilization. The strategy instructs Washington to "engage more deeply" with these capitals to pull them away from the EU. To facilitate this, the White House proposes supporting "parties, movements, and cultural figures" who advocate for sovereignty and "traditional European lifestyles."

<In a significant doctrinal shift, the text formally rejects American hegemony, describing the pursuit of global dominance as a "failure" that was "not achievable." This phrasing, which intelligence analysts note mirrors Kremlin narratives, establishes a strictly transactional worldview: foreign affairs are relevant only if they pose a direct threat to U.S. interests.

<Despite the isolationist rhetoric, the document reveals anxiety about the power vacuum left by American withdrawal. It warns that neither China nor Russia must be allowed to replace U.S. leadership. To bridge this contradiction, the strategy proposes a loose coalition of "regional champions" who share U.S. principles, regardless of their democratic standing.

I think it stands to reason that a united Europe would be more capable of asserting itself as an independent power than a divided one. Even if the EU is lacking the will to do so, it would inevitably have a greater capacity for it than any individual European state. If America wants to more aggressively dominate Europe and ensure its perpetual subordination then breaking up the EU is perfectly rational.

>extractivist
You can't use a term from "Why Nations Fail", a piece of moronic bourgeois propaganda, and not be called a liberal and a moron. "Extractive institutions" are a thing as opposed to "inclusive institutions" that are supposedly more innovative because they protect property rights and have a diverse elite as well as a powerful middle class. If you are a materialist, you want to crush anyone who unironically thinks like this. Thankfully, capitalism itself is crushing you. You deserve it and it will get worse.

>"I shouldn't be shamed for not living up to capitalist society's expectations of me, I should be allowed to be my authentic self without being criticized and I shouldn't have to change myself based on some arbitrary capitalist standard"

This seems to be the sentiment that dominates the minds of zoomers and most millennials that drives them towards the left whether we want to admit it or not. This is what makes a lot of younger people under 40 embrace anti-capitalist politics, question social norms that are the superstructure of modern capitalism, become anti-eugenics, embrace new identity groups, and so on. Look no further than Tumblr from the mid 2010s or TikTok today. My question is, why haven't any communist or socialist parties been able to gather these types of people up? The DSA's entire strategy is simply economistic "healthcare and unions" babble that they weaponize to push the Democrats further to the left. Yet we shouldn't forget that the millennial left (namely, the people who participated in the anti-war movement in the 2000s and Occupy in 2011-12) all folded into DSA by the end of the 2010s. So why can't the DSA bring in those frustrated zoomers from TikTok, the ones who make videos on queerness and unmasking autism and mental health and why nearly all romantic relationships are inherently predatory or whatever? Maybe if the people on that platform were in a political party they'd have actual pragmatic political goals.

Wait.. do you mean they do not need to work? At some point in life, I though everyone question labor and why so long, etc. If someone told me the work day could be 4 h/day, I would be happy. But just reading Marx or Lenin.. German ideology; Engels - The origin of family, money, .. that is just interesting. But imperialism… no. Not just that, it will not help them to organize for less work hours or anything.

>Again though that's not about building socialism, that's about begging for concessions (treats) from piggy
Vibes based assessment. Most of these orgs are primarily concerned about building socialism, concessions are merely a rhetorical device, their inevitable revocation is the point.

They aren't mutually exclusive though.

>>2591955
Hate to say it, but there’s a reason nearly all the “autistic and chronically ill” comrades you encounter are in their 20s and 30s. Largely because people with chronic illness AND autism on top of it don’t live for very long. Autism makes chronic illness worse though low needs autism doesn’t really impact lifespan much. But someone with fibromyalgia, lupus, etc. usually has a much shorter lifespan. All of these “I’M DISABLED!” types will probably die before they make it to 45.

I don't expect anyone to believe me, in fact I think I did mention it once before, but I unironically went to school with her.
He real name is Tia Billinger, she went to Friesland School in Sandiacre in Erewash on the Derby-Notts border, and she was raised in a tiny Tory ass boomer village called Breaston.
Hope that serves as some evidence I'm not lying, don't know what more I can do than that to prove it.

>Did you fuck her?
No, didn't even know she was like that back then. She was kinda bitchy and mean girlsy, thick as shit, but not any more promiscuous than the other girls like that as far as I remember.

Farage deserves everything he gets but it's funny watching the machine turn on him. He was racist in school and told homophobic jokes in the past - who knew? Nigel Farage doing something like that, next thing you'll know it'll turn out that Jeremy Corbyn has links to bennism.
