A thread focused on discussing the parasocial relationships cultivated by the Almighty Algorithm to generate profit off of our atomization and society's commodification of petty internet drama.
Brace through the hyper-real lacanian void together!

>We should do this because I as a worker, we as workers, will be better off if we do this
<Ahem that's were you're wrong kiddo
Are you one those people who think communism is when you press the "communism" button and capitalism disappears in an instant?

>>2361977
So jealous :(

But is it cut tho? I bet it is unfortunately

>>2362058
Because he's a liberal cuck

>>2362968
yeah the struggle for basic bourgeois concessions is not the end all, but what caused bloody sunday in 1905? it was not a truly revolutionary movement, but a movement of a priest asking for even the most basic concessions, yet communists and socialists of the day still backed it

>>2362982
vulgar ultraleftism and its consequences have been a disaster

>>2360244
he lives in my hometown too

>>2362982
NTA but what I think they're calling you a retard for is tailism. proles don't have some magical abilities that make them right all the time, even with regards to what is in their material interests

anyone know what happened w the Stonewall shootings

yes that Stonewall and this year

>>2362999
it's not really tailism, but asking for basic bourgeois concessions like a minimum wage increase is the most important issue for the proletarians now, not least because it's asking for a greater minimum of their expropriated labor to be restored to them, if such a basic concession is denied then it will radicalize the proletarians to seek further and further reforms until they have to enforce the changes by gun and knife

>>2362982
minimum wage laws are different from demanding a raise in your workplace and youd know this if you had a brain and were capable of minimum reasoning

>>2362999
>proles don't have some magical abilities that make them right all the time, even with regards to what is in their material interests
Wrong. The kind of tree determines the kind of flower, and the kind of class determines the interest and line. The proletarian is always right and any other line is wrong.
>>2363014
its the same but bigger though

>>2362904
There's "antisemitism" (opposing the zionist reactionary ethnostate and its crimes against Palestinian people) and then there's Actual Antisemitism (reeeeeee I'm jealous Jews get their own reactionary genocidal ethnostate and I don't)

>>2363014
Not it's not. Have you ever worked at a large company before? Do you also suggest people only unionize their local stores too? Everyone (who is a prole) benefits from raising the minimum wage, and it also improves your (and your union's) bargaining position even when you're not working for at minimum wage.
You're way too ignorant (and probably lacking in life experience) to be this smug.

File: 1751317127883.gif (436.74 KB, 220x217, 1747280169111.gif)

When workers come together to fight for a wage increase, they do so out of their own need, and with their own organisations, thereby contributing to "the ever expanding union of the workers." The difference here is one of origin: minimum wage laws emerge from the brains of the petty bourgeois, from his need to constrain his competitors. Wage demands made by proletarian organisations, meanwhile, emerge from their real struggle to develop the conditions and unity of workers themselves.

>>2363017
>proles know what's best for them because.. they just know, ok?

first world "leftists" when 97% hitler is on the ballot and is promising to increase the min. wage

>>2363004
>"their" expropriated labor
lmao
someone who's fully employed in NYC is comfortably middle class on the path to home ownership, living off the labor of the lower classes and third worlders

the demand is actually for the bourgeoisie to share a greater share of the value extracted from third worlders, immigrants, etc., because that's where the extra treats will actually come from, not from the pockets of the bourgeoisie (lol). they'll simply increase the rate of exploitation to pay for it

>>2363030
the only people who actually benefit from increased min. wage are upwardly mobile middle class on their way to home ownership

nobody should unionize or do electoralism without it being part of a broader strategy by an organized revolutionary communist party, yes

otherwise you're just participating in liberalism and nothing else

>>2363066
Do you think lower class people who have jobs dont exist in NYC or something?

>>2363066
>they'll simply increase the rate of exploitation to pay for it
Why would capitalists not go for maximum exploitation all the time? Are they leaving money on the table just in case of emergency if the minimum wage is increased?

>>2363070
>>2363066
slow in the mind

>>2363066
>someone who's fully employed in NYC is comfortably middle class on the path to home ownership
Fucking kek. Funniest post I've seen all day.

>>2363066
i hate how third worldist maotards bring up actual issues like the middle class but then have to needlessly add your location into the equation like it fucking matters

>>2363055
only the prole has the potential to grasp whats best for everyone, especially themselves

>>2363071
Lower classes in NYC don't benefit from min wage because they're not consistently employed & are declassed and lumpenized

>>2363079
facts don't care about your feelings, despite all the whining, millenials are becoming home owners at a steady rate, because amerikkka is a settler colony just like pissrael, and buys off its citizens with expropriated property (gentrification, which min wage increase will intestify)

>>2363071
As a New Yorker I can tell you exactly what the majority of New Yorkers do. The majority work in the service industry whether that be as home health aids or retail or security or gig work, the rest are employed by the city in a variety of jobs. The government is literally the largest employer of New Yorkers. The minority of New Yorkers and the ones you see on ads, tech folks or financial services folks corporates represent a minority and in fact alot of them are migrant workers from either other states or other countries. It's frustrating hearing bullshit from mother fuckers don't know what the New York's working class makeup looks like.

>>2363094
uh huh

>>2363096
first world """workers""" don't produce value, sorry to break it to you

>>2363099
theres no such thing as a first world and third world first of all

Firstoids are ontologically evil and incapable of communism and must suffer for the sake of the third world, which can only do communism under the careful guidance of a military strongman or other form of despot. I am very smart

>>2363097
Is this based on just NYS or more specifically NYC?

>>2363097
We don't need gun control, we need cracker control

>>2363101
yes, borders, imperialism, bombs and aircraft carriers are fake & are there just for vibes, everyone just gotta pull themselves up by the bootstraps

>>2363101
wrong. new york city is a supreme bastion of parasitism.

>>2363099
neither do you yet i don't go on nonsensical rants to justify this

I used to follow his page 'BlackLikeMao' years ago but then lost interest and forgot about him because too often his whole opinion was 'fuck the crackka' without anything of substance.
Hanging around on LeftyPol, I came across screenshots of him and got reminded of him. Leftypol is also how I found out that he was on Dr Phil !! XD
I'm also surprised he is that popular as I thought back then that he is quite niche.
So I would like to hear your opinions about him (whether you like him or you hate him). What you find good, what you find bad etc.

I'm sorry did you just post an "XD" sincerely?

>>2363136
Yes. My friends and I still use it despite knowing it fell out of favour among vocal-fried Yankee tryhards.

He's in DSA now, don't know much else.

succdem maoist lol


>>2363187
Reactionaries have a real problem when a few of them are ideological or lumpen vs systemic bourg racists.
Lumpens always lose even in fascism where they're discarded as soon as organized labor is defeated.

>>2363099
being productive is not what determines a worker much less a proletarian worker

>>2363097
Post the source because the same source states "The report found that the median wealth held by Latino New Yorkers’ is $0, followed by Black New Yorkers at $2,800, Asian New Yorkers at $43,100, while the median wealth for white residents is $320,000." and we know for a fact that $0 in wealth is not an accurate median measurement unless all latinos are homeless.
