🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅
<Tater and Sickle 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.

<Death to the scourge of the earth, the destroyer of nations, the father of fascism, the enabler of ethnostates, the treatlerite tyrant, the protector of pedophiles, the exporter of ecocide, the captain of capitalism, the king of coups, the sultan of sanctions, the emir of the embargo, the autocrat of austerity, the doge of deregulation, the baron of busting unions, the prince of privatization, the lord of loan sharks, the patron-saint of proxy wars, the sponsor of settlers, the guarantor of genocides, the invader of islands, the Divided $nakkkes of Amerikkka™

> communism is just capitalism but efficient
take it up with Lenin:

<Socialism is inconceivable without large-scale capitalist engineering based on the latest discoveries of modern science. It is inconceivable without planned state organization, which keeps tens of millions of people to the strictest observance of a unified standard in production and distribution. We Marxists have always spoken of this, and it is not worth while wasting two seconds talking to people who do not understand even this (anarchists and a good half of the Left Socialist-Revolutionaries).


<At the same time socialism is inconceivable unless the proletariat is the ruler of the state. This also is ABC. And history (which nobody, except Menshevik blockheads of the first order, ever expected to bring about “complete” socialism smoothly, gently, easily and simply) has taken such a peculiar course that it has given birth in 1918 to two unconnected halves of socialism existing side by side like two future chickens in the single shell of international imperialism.

some outlines on the recent Witkoff deal
— Ukr army 2.5 x reduction. Only Ukr army. Note: not 2x as speculated

— No foreign troops in Ukraine

— No foreign diplomatic planes in Ukraine

— Ban on long range weapons that can reach ST P, Moscow

>>2566128
The "cost effective" is what I'm worried about when it comes to western weapons systems.

The ICP is predicting that this war isn't going to end in some kind of peace deal but it's going to expand into WW3

17:56 GMT
Ukraine is bound to end up with an “interim government” that will strike a peace deal with Russia to end the hostilities, Ukrainian MP Anna Skorokhod has said, speaking to a Ukrainian YouTube channel. Demands that Zelensky’s top aide Yermak be fired are about the survival and “self-preservation” of the Ukrainian leader, she suggested.

“We’ll have an interim government, “anti-crisis,” “anti-corruption,” call it whatever you like, a government for several months that will ready the country for elections, conclude negotiations, and sign a peace agreement,” Skorokhod has stated.

Let's put aside the elephant in the room (India's obsession with Israel), and even their anti-muslim pro-hindu-obsession. Just look at their diplomatic and trade situation with Russia, China, and the USA.

India, by the laws of history, should have become communist-led by 2010, the latest. Socialism was (and still is) the class interest of 98% of their population. It's fucking insane, if you think about how cucked their comprador bourgeoisie situation is + the underdeveloped state of their infrastructure, their semi-feudal small manufacturing, their idiotic e-scam economy, the absolute destitution of their villages/peasants, and so on. Obviously, it was the USA that """"helped"""" India to get rid of the Naxalite """"threat"""".

But then you look at this fucking country's geopolitics/diplomacy/trade and it DOESN'T MAKE FUCKING SENSE, DUDE.

https://swentr.site/india/627932-new-great-game-in-south-asia/ (Please ignore the title and keep reading, it's a very good summary.)

Like, what the actual FUCK is India's foreign policy?!

They hate Pakistan, they try to bribe Sri Lanka, they suck both US and multipolar dick at the same time, and they have constant border disputes.

It's fuckin insane, to the point that future historians will be writing books about the ridiculous failures of India's foreign policy.

>India, by the laws of history, should have become communist-led by 2010, the latest.
nah, the bourgeoise accrued way more power since the 1990s and has since strengthened their grip on the media and elections. they have been smearing the socialist governments of the nehru and gandhi family era for its failure, and they aren't wrong because it was largely a stagnant era. fabian socialism doesn't work in a developing economy. they needed a maoist/ML communist revolution and their best chance was during the early to mid 20th century before the british administrative system transfered over and the institution of parliamentary democracy was established. now they are going to have to traverse the revolutionary road the hard way, as bourgoise power has massively grown, taking over the productive forces which are technologically more advance now than pre-independence, exploiting liberal democracy through powerful lobbying, as well as having more sophisticated deployment of capitalist ideology through the media and internet. for instance, the problems of the economy and inequality gets diverted into noneconomic explanations like identity and religious narratives targeting minorities, hence the rise and dominance of the BJP.

>>2566181
I think India is a wildcard country, the one most primed for revolution

India post INC has had a retarded econmic policy where they are trying to develop high tech industries without a mature industrial base. You have to build steel mills, apartment blocks, and railways before building computer centers.
>>2566265
The BJP is running Indian into the ground, hopefully their failure will lead to a revolution.

Zionists Are Freaking Out About Losing Control Of The Narrative

>Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz made some very revealing remarks during an appearance at the Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Sunday, expressing frustration with the way younger Jews are dismissing pro-Israel arguments because of the carnage they’ve seen in Gaza.


>“We are now wrestling with a new I think generational divide here, and I think that’s particularly true in that social media is now our source of media,” Hurwitz said. “It used to be that the news you got in America was American media, and it was pretty mainstream; you know it generally didn’t express extreme anti-Israel views. You had to go to a pretty weird bookstore to find global media and fringe media. But today we have social media, which is the global medium; its algorithms are shaped by billions of people worldwide who don’t really love Jews. So while in the 1990s a young person probably wasn’t going to find Al Jazeera or someone like Nick Fuentes, today those media outlets find them; they find them on their phones.”


>“It’s also this increasingly post-literate media; less and less text, more and more videos,” Hurwitz continued. “So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza. And this is why so many of us cannot have a sane conversation with younger Jews, because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments, and they are just seeing in their minds: carnage. And I sound obscene.”


>Hurwitz went on to say that Holocaust education has begun backfiring, because it has been giving young people the wrong impression that genocide is always bad.


>“And you know I think unfortunately, the very smart bet that we made on Holocaust education to serve as anti-semitism education in this new media environment, I think that is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely essential, but I think it may be confusing some of our young people about antisemitism,” Hurwitz said. “Because they learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews, and they think oh, antisemitism is like anti-black rac

"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.

see just like i've been telling you guys. half the people in these groups are there as undercovers, undercovers make these orgs function. it's insane. peak spectacle.

I've truly given up trying to live here, might unironically top myself in a few weeks time due to how badly I've messed up my life.

It's either homelessness or committing a crime to get sent down and then only thing I'd have the courage for is arson which I'd probably fuck up anyhow. Fuck this shithole island.

Chinese tech isn't locked down, the proletariat can re-configure the software and modify the hardware by adding or removing their own parts to fit their material conditions. AppleTV degenerates are literally regressed into pre-modern neofeudal serfs who think technology is magic that only the priest class can control. Neoliberals would literally be afraid and shocked if you opened up their phone case lol
>just turning apple consumers into huawei consumers
China makes tech for adult humans, they don't sell glossy, frictionless baby products for domesticated cattle who can't legally repair their own stuff.

>Bitcoin Price Crashes to $94,000 and New Six-Month Lows
>Bitcoin price fell sharply today, sliding from an intraday high of $104,000 to $94,480, wiping out earlier gains and marking a decisive breakdown in price action. Twelve hours ago, the Bitcoin price hit above $100,000 and then consistently bled down from the upper $101,000s to lows of $94,480. Ethereum dropped below $3,100 at times and crypto stocks like Coinbase ($COIN) and Strategy ($MSTR) are trading in the red in pre-market trading. Also, the Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has plunged to a new “Extreme Fear” low, signaling deep market anxiety even as long-term holders stay the course.

bitcoin AND gold is falling, is this a liquidity crisis? do the banks have money?

TBH Nazi Germany was just ordinary colonialism, not imperialism. Same with Japan and Italy. Compared with Britain and the USA, the Axis were historically progressive. It was only because of the USSR that socialist politics memed fascism that hard.

>>2522744

1.Dengism is capitalism.
2.Dengism is still both more humane and more progressive than Amerikkkan liberalism.

Both can be true at the same time, you know. Thinking that the modern Western capitalism is the ultimate form of capitalism is ALSO a form of Western chauvinism.

>>2566131
american liberalism = capitalism in it's pure form

"dengism"/marxism-leninism = socialism with an NEP

to call one capitalist in itself is slanderous and belittling to the most successful anti-capitalist project to have ever hit planet earth



 

Nazism is founded on Satanism.
Nietzche, the philosopher whose works were used as a philosophical backing for the Reich, was a Grand master of the Ordo Templi Orientis Lodge, whose leader was Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley, if you don't know, was the premier satanist and occultist of the 19th century, who coined the term "Do as thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". He is the man who inspired LaVey to found the Church of Satan.
Hitler himself was deeply interested in occultism, and openly expressed this. Nazism in fact directly traces its roots to Ariosophy, a racist offshoot of Theosophy, the movement Crowley was a part of. Himmler was particularly embroiled in this.
The recent rise of Nazism is nothing more and nothing less than a psyop to compromise the right-wing youth into being Satanists.

The return of anti-Semitism and fascism on a global scale is a foreshadowing of a global alliance of Gentile nations against Jerusalem. God is allowing this rebellion against Him to happen on purpose so that Jews will repent to God and accept Jesus. Biblical end times prophecy or something

>>2565990
>Nietzche, the philosopher whose works were used as a philosophical backing for the Reich, was a Grand master of the Ordo Templi Orientis
<Fact
Reported for retardation.

Aleister Crowley was/is absolutely not a 'satanist', and neither was/is the Ordo Templi Orientis. Their beliefs are essentialy Jewish Qabbalah with a few 'egyptian' influences, they worship the same Abrahamic God as almost everyone else, they just have sex about it sometimes so puritans kneejerked and labelled them 'satanists'.

your analysis is historically illiterate and idealist, material conditions are the primary determinants in the development of history and culture, the social 'superstructure' is derived from the material, is a reaction to it.

>>2565990
I would describe everything in this thread (including Ayn Rand) as an outgrowth of German Romanticism.

Also btw i copy and pasted this thread unto mutiple imageboards and found this site had the most intelligent takes on it
