many people are rightly coming to the conclusion that you fundamentally cannot fix this. the idea of marxist socialism is just a more efficient capitalism; one without "contradictions", where the rape of the earth and its people will serve an abstract "mankind", even as it is conceptually abolished. we're all being taken on a ride to the extinction of the species, and you are either for it, or against it. this is pure theology - good vs evil. which side are you on?

All right, so whats the plan?

Faking sage mon. Wtf is dis shid? Bomboclaaaaaaaaaat!

BOMBOCLAAAAAAAAAAAT!

>>2257389
>the idea of marxist socialism is just a more efficient capitalism
no, sorry. try again.
>abstract "mankind"
no, mankind is a pretty clear and material concept
>this is pure theology - good vs evil.
so much is true. narodism seems to still live in despair ridden petty bourgeois anarchoid intellectuals

>>2257537
>try again
whats the difference between marxist socialism and a capitalism which has resolved its contradictions? marx in "critique of the gotha programme" lays it out quite clearly; it is a preservation of the capitalist form of value, without capital accumulation itself.
>mankind is a pretty clear and material concept
<is afraid of the term "abstract", not knowing that all concepts are abstract.

>>2257537
>humanity is le spook

>>2257539
>capitalism which has resolved its contradictions
this makes no sense because capitalism can't exist without contradictions. resolving contradictions is dismantling and replacing capitalist production with something else. you're sooo stupid
>preservation of the capitalist form of value
bro 'value' has sense only in an economy which alienates labor. how do you measure 'value' in a use-oriented economy? you can't measure all use with the same unit of 'value', but you can when there are wages.
>without capital accumulation itself
just throwing words around irresponsibly
>>2257539
>>2257543
no i very well know about abstractions but here it's not used a scientific but moral abstraction (serve an abstract "mankind" - you can't serve scientific abstract categories, but you can serve moral ones etc.)

>>2257389
I'm on the side that satisfies my grievances. And the cycle of fascism back to liberalism covers only a tiny extent of the grudges while outright rewarding the abominable structure that sources them. So I don't care if communism turns out to be a pipedream, it is maximalist. I'd back communism even if it was the cartoonish deathcult depicted in right wing propaganda, for no better reason that it promises to chew through *everyone*.

>>2257592
But its all impersonal material forces, though

>>2257560
>this makes no sense because capitalism can't exist without contradictions
neither can socialism, yet you types tend to neglect this fact
>resolving contradictions is dismantling and replacing capitalist production with something else.
with what? what is qualitatively different about working in a factory for 40 years, then you die - but under a red banner?
>bro 'value' has sense only in an economy which alienates labor
yes, and marx says that in the early stage of communism, labour will be inherently alienated by an inequality of labour powers
>how do you measure 'value' in a use-oriented economy?
how do you decide who gets what, and how much?
>wages
what does an industrial economy without wages look like?
>abstractions
what is the "material" concept of mankind?
>>2257592
right, so you admit that to be a modernist is to be a nihilist - you forget however, that stalin sent many to the gulag, but never himself. same for mao in the cultural revolution. the universal death cult only goes so far, and like all systems, it protects power.

>>2257616
>yet you types tend to neglect this fact
just making shit up i didn't say. dumb dumb, capitalism without capitalist contradictions cannot exist. it's a contradiction in adjecto.
>what is qualitatively different about working in a factory for 40 years, then you die - but under a red banner?
strawmanning what scientific socialism is an pretending like industrial production isn't a prerequisite for socialism (the fact that the soviets and chinese industrialized on western practices is a issue of history and not ideas). again, these were TO BE COLONIZED by western imperialists. this is black on white written in mein kampf. without industry, how do you deal with imperialists? who's gonna teach you industrial production and organization if not bourgeois intellectuals?? like???
>marx says that in the early stage of communism
ok and? so you agree than in the transitional period of proletrian dictatorship there are remnants of capitalist organization? no one is saying otherwise
>how do you
>what does
idk we didn't get there yet and we're not in a position to think about this. but cockshott has some ideas
>what is the "material" concept of mankind?
people, people are the material mankind, you retarded ass

>>2257628
>socialism depends on industry
except when it has existed as a natural community between human beings for all of history. this is why i say that you marxists would rather force capitalism on the world than dismantle it, because you imagine that one day, your hand will tame the beast.
>who's gonna teach you industrial production
who's going to enslave us to machines, you mean?
>so you agree than in the transitional period of proletrian dictatorship…
no, you dont understand. communism as you imagine it will never exist, because history begins by a negation of an original primitive communism.
>cockshott has some ideas
i wouldnt trust him near a child, nevermind near the seat of power.
>people are the material mankind
youre saying absolutely nothing

>>2257389
Personally, mostly ironically or for the sake of an argument, I support shipping out all industries out of the West countries and giving those to developing countries, but with better ecological laws, to make sure that the West gets devolved properly. No chips for you either, total, complete deindustrialization into agrarian and only fans prostitution socieites for Third World tourists to look at and laugh

>>2257640
>existed as a natural
holy shit i want to strangle you i want to strap you down and shove the entire two parts of the german ideology i own down your slimy liberal throat to force feed you some basic materialist thinking you disgusting idealist ecoanarcho rat
>enslave us to machines
LIBERATION IS A HISTORICAL AND NOT A MENTAL ACT YOU RETARD YOU CANNOT IMAGINE ACTUAL PRACTICAL FREEDOM WITHOUT THE SPINNING JENNY
>communism as you imagine it will never exist
you should have opened up with this you anti-communist vermin. kill yourself NOW
>youre saying absolutely nothing
yeah you have to take your head out of the ideal ass to make sense of practical and tangible concepts.

stop replying.

>>2257389
>rape the earth
grow up

>>2257646
>basic materialist thinking
"basic materialist thinking" is apparently denying human goodness and instead preferring dictators to rule your life. youre only proving my point.
>freedom is only possible after war and slavery
are you a fascist by any chance? you are coping like religious people; "things are bad now, but its all just a test, because one day, we'll be in power". absolutely pathetic apologia for the crimes of history.
>anti-communist vermin
right, its acceptable to dehumanise people you disagree with. you really are a fascist. but see how i already knew that? the industrial mind is sick.
>>2257653
is being mature being apathetic about the state of the world?
>>2257645
i guess the jokes on us, who have no more pollution…

>human goodness
>crimes of history
>the industrial mind

>>2257670
what is your point, literally?
that there is no human goodness?
that there are no crimes of history?
that industry isnt destructive?

>>2257675
so you have no actual thoughts? just dogma?
you are a religious fanatic, then.

>>2257676
you're like those schizos that talk about quantum physics without even knowing newtonian physics

>>2257677
how? explain, please.

>>2257678
NTA but if you need that explained to you then that is your problem. Demanding explanations and sources over and over again like you are doing now is a common debate tactic of someone who can't actually refute what is being said.

>>2257691
all thats happened is that ive been accused of something without explanation - and now you swoop in for the other anon who realised he's full of shit, by continuing to be full of shit. why?
>asking for sources and explanations
this is only a bad thing for people who talk out of their ass, like you.

>>2257698
you have been told things and you are demanding that people completely break those things down for you because you happen to not be able to or want to, like I said that's your problem. You should be perfectly capable of interpreting what is being said to you, claiming that's someone else's job is not an argument.

>>2257389
Degrowth communism. And no, I've never read Saito.

>>2257702
>you have been told things
no, i have been accused of things
>you are demanding that people completely break those things down
i asked for a simple explanation
>You should be perfectly capable of interpreting what is being said
how do i interpret the accusation that im discussing quantum physics without knowing newtonian mechanics, in relation to defending the concept of human goodness? it was a nonsensical accusation, thats why he couldnt explain it. why are you simping for this anon so hard? samefagging?

>>2257707
you asked for an explanation but you aren't entitled to one. If it's nonsensical to you then I guess that's the problem, you are trying to argue on terrain that you don't know much about by your own admission. It's nonsensical to you by your own admission. If you don't know what you are arguing about then why are you arguing? You could have just looked up even the wikipedia page on the book they were referencing but instead you are just being hostile and throwing a tantrum. I am accusing you of throwing a tantrum (gasp!) you are being accused better keep melting down now lol. Additionally I accuse you of eating shit, and I will never explain that to you. Does that make you mad?

>>2257717
>you asked for an explanation but you aren't entitled to one.
right, and anyone can say shit without backing it up. thats called dishonesty. keep being dishonest.

>defending the concept of human goodness
mein gott

>>2257722
passive aggressive faggot

Well, communism is the only solution, so take or leave it. Idealist solutions or trying to "turn back the clock" in one way or another will not work and will inevitably lead to the re-emergence of the current state of things. With a global planned economy that reins in the chaos of production there is at least a chance to find a way to fix things.

Complex life will only be viable on Earth for another couple 100m years, regardless of human activity. The biosphere is already 95% of the way through its existence. Presently, humans are the only phenomenon capable of extending its expiry date. I'm happy to trade keeping the last 5% 'pristine' or whatever in exchange for keeping the show going off-planet

Also, a note about the notion that human marks on their environment are contaminating: the distinction between 'natural' and 'man-made' is artificial/imaginary. Moral judgements are not passed on cyanobacteria for effecting the Great Oxidation Event, nor on bees spreading the pollen of 'invasive species'. If there is anything like a standpoint to make such moral claims, it would be the standpoint of human wellbeing. I am uninterested in preserving the environment in some pre-human state, because that state is temporarily regardless of our activity.

Proof of this?

Heard it from the crackhead on my street

>>2258580
Oh shit multicellular life may or may not go extinct in 100 million years? I guess it's okay that we have a mass extinction now (including the death of countless people) in the interests of capital because that economic growth might lead to the billionaires developing technology to flee to Mars and escape the consequences of our actions even though that possibility is very remote of even form of humanities survival. You know the best form of insuring humanities survival is to kill our life support system collapse civilization, and worry about how we will survive that later

>>2258621
I love bringing this up because it's such an effective filter for retards like you. I appreciate that you had your infographic-tier cliche quips ready, but unfortunately they're irrelevant

What I said isn't a defense of capitalism, it's a defense of industrialization. In order for earth life to survive, we must:
<Accrete industrial capacity
<Direct that industrial capacity intelligently

>>2257390
Primitivism only leads to these primitive societies completely crushed by technologically more advanced ones. We must improve and advance society instead of devolving back to agrarian feudalism or even worse caveman hunter-gathering.

>>2258629 we could do all those things and reverse environmental decline if we had an economic system not based on comsumerism

>>2257389
mods should make an /ecofash/ board for posts like this, they'll make a board about anything as long as they don't have to mod it.

oh and just to be perfectly clear, marxism is pro-rape, we just fucking LOVE rape, just RAPE the earth!!!

Nah come on, we’ve had reductions of life down to less than 1% of the biosphere and it came back
