>>2267684i think it would be a good idea of 'white' americans started to reject the label wholesale. probably an impossible idea but it would be incredibly powerful at disarming one of the strongest weapons the capitalist has against building solidarity. I think my perspective on this is painted by being from south Louisiana though, I much prefer to identify as creole instead of white, and if go off the old school one drop rule shit, a whole lot of 'white' americans aren't even 'white'. because it's all just made up nonsense.
Obviously there's systemic structures that exist to create the concept of whiteness at a social level, and there's privilege and me suggesting this isn't to negate those things.
Anyway someone in a discord I'm in is mad about white people twerking and talking about cultural appropriation so I double doubt we will ever see anything like this happen. it seems that liberalism is hell bent on reinforcing the social construct of whiteness while positioning itself as progressive option.
>>2267754https://www.semafor.com/article/01/04/2023/the-youtubers-going-viral-by-predicting-chinas-collapse“China’s Economy Will Collapse In 34 Days,” a financial news channel called Casgains Academy announced in a 20-minute YouTube video in September, which racked up 3.2 million views. Around the same time, the finance guru Andrei Jikh told his 2.2 million YouTube subscribers the collapse would happen in “a matter of days.”
On YouTube, China always seems to be on the verge of total destruction. For months, a diverse group of creators on the site have been getting millions of views by repeatedly warning about the country’s impending doom, even as its economic and political systems have remained very much intact.
The videos are part of a battle over global perceptions of China taking place amid rising tensions between Beijing and Washington. And while platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook grapple with how to handle state-sponsored propaganda from China and elsewhere, the most successful — and often exaggerated — content about the People’s Republic is virtually all intensely negative. These anti-China narratives attract far larger audiences than state-backed outlets like The People’s Daily and China Central Television.
Some of the videos are produced by organizations explicitly opposed to the Chinese Communist Party, like the persecuted Chinese religious group Falun Gong, which is affiliated with two of the top anti-CCP media outlets, The Epoch Times and The Vision Times. One video uploaded in November by China Insights, a YouTube channel linked to The Vision Times, warned the economy was sliding “rapidly toward collapse,” attracting over 460,000 views.
But much of this content is put out by savvy YouTubers who know what their audience wants to hear. In one of his first videos about China uploaded in September, Graham Stephan, a self-described “real estate agent and investor” with over 4 million YouTube subscribers — more than the Wall Street Journal and roughly as many as The New York Times — declared “It’s Over: China’s ENTIRE Economy Is About To Collapse.” A few weeks later, Stephan alleged the collapse had “Just Got Worse.”
In one of the most dramatic videos in the genre, Business Basics, a YouTube channel whose Facebook page suggests it’s based in the Philippines, stated China was running out of “WATER, FOOD & ENERGY.” The 17-minute video received over 2 million views.
Seven of the most popular YouTubers who have shared China collapse videos did not respond to requests for comment. China Insights could not be reached for comment.

And every other pro-Palestine westerner will let out a sigh of relief that they can go back to backing the same genocidal Zionists and their "two state solution", as they declare war on Iran and half of Africa to "combat Terrorism".

https://youtu.be/Xh_IHSwjBJ4Very strange to think about how the system works. I know none of the billionaires are going to fund a communist uprising but I don't know. Shit's fucked.
I think a lot of people just need a fucking vacation. And I think some of the ultra rich would be willing to give up their property as long as they saw that the workers were really strong and organized. It's not something to rely on, you just can't trust people with different class interests. But I think that when your cause is just and you can show that you know what to do, if you can give people hope, then you're just going to attract so much more support than evil people.
Remember that reactionaries are paper tigers. The confidence of moral strength and a plan that's worked out can really sway the people. Until that time people will be hesitant at best though unfortunately. The capitalist class can win battles but only the working class can finish the class war once and for all.
>>2267850Ideology is a spook. The people are led by the mute compulsion of real economic relations.
There is not a stone of the Euro-American city placed outside of capital. The worker is a product, and the city is a factory. The circuits of capital twist around, and bite bone deep into Euro-American flesh.
What is to be done is destruction of the real circuits of capital that leash the working class. Real infrastructure, the ports, the trucks and transit. We must block the flows of material capital, commodities and labor-power which etch this system deeper into our lives.
>>2268421There's probably like three, maybe four rich hyper-elites that would become class traitors if there was to be a communist revolution in the Western world. And when I say Western world, I mean the UK, New Zealand, America, Canada, Australia. All these countries kind of have to do the revolution at the same time. It can start in America and spread to those other countries, and I think it would, but it's got to be all of them, right? Gabe Newell, maybe I'm just fantasizing, but the offer that guy, hey, come in, be chief of technology or whatever for the new communist state. Just look at how Valve is ran. Maybe he would do it. I don't know. I think that this is an incredibly idealist thing to think, and honestly, more of a joke.

I think the most important element of the text is when Slovo points out that the implementation of armed struggle is necessary for the movement to progress beyond a certain point, and armed struggle is necessarily a political act which must be used to enhance political mobilization.

>>2268127Which is precisely why I've been telling people that we need to mobilize the people for militant, targeted, non-violent action designed to provoke a severe response from the state, which we then use as fodder for organizing.
We're not at the point where we can initiate armed struggle, but if you pay more attention to the text you'd notice that the goal of political action should be to ferment insurrectionary conditions.
We actually missed a golden opportunity with the George Floyd uprisings, next time something like that happens we must be prepared to take the movement to the next level.
>>22689141. Factory

>non-violent actionThat point has passed
>>2268929No, it hasn't. In fact, no one has really tried it for many years. Read on what the ANC did before initiating armed struggle, on the pass and defiance campaigns. Read about Gandhi and his actions in the British Raj.
You have to actually, physically disrupt the infrastructure of the state in order to provoke a violent response from them. You have to use all means short of violence and physically demonstrate that they do not work while mobilizing as many people as possible. From there, you can convince the people that non-violent protest is useless and the only way forward is armed struggle. It MUST be an evolutionary change in your organizing.
>This is so because even in the typical colonial-type situation, armed struggle becomes feasible only if:
>• there is disillusionment with the prospect of achieving liberation by traditional peaceful processes because the objective conditions blatantly bar the way to change;
>• there is readiness to respond to the strategy of armed struggle with all the enormous sacrifices which this involves;
>• there is in existence a political leadership capable of gaining the organised allegiance of the people for armed struggle and which has both the experience and the ability to carry out the painstaking process of planning, preparation and overall conduct of the operations;
>• and there exist favourable objective conditions in the international and local planes.
>In one sense, conditions are connected and interdependent. They are not created by subjective and ideological activity only and many are the mistakes committed by heroic revolutionaries who give a monopoly to the subjective factor and who confuse their own readiness with the readiness of others.- Report on the Strategy and Tactics of theAfrican National Congress, 1969

>>2268957There hasn't been an organized campaign of mass, militant civil disobedience since the Civil Rights movement. There have been some spontaneous outbreaks, and some anarcho-timewasters with no clear leadership or goals, but there has been nothing that we can use as a basis to organize around.
Read about Gandhi. The REAL Gandhi, not the mythologized prince of peace that the liberals claim he was. Nothing like that has ever happened in America, let alone the massive campaigns that the ANC waged in the 1950s. Gandhi called what he did "peaceful raids" for a reason.
>>2268969That's not what I am suggesting. What I am suggesting is to use mass, non-violent action as a way to radicalize people and demonstrate to them that non-violent action on it's own can never be effective. However, armed struggle by itself will be smothered in the cradle unless it has a mass basis behind it. You must use both military and political organizing to compliment each other and maximize the radicalization of the people.
"We must work for the political mobilisation and organisation of the masses of our people into active struggle as a matter of priority. We must aim to attract all forces — at national, regional and local levels — who have potential to confront the regime in the struggle against racism and for one united non-racial South Africa. We must bring about the broadest possible unity of all national groups, classes and strata, organisations, groups and prominent personalities around local and national issues. This means we must combine illegal with legal and semi-legal activity to ensure such mass mobilisation and to establish our presence and influence wherever the people are. We must not mechanically reject all participation in government-created bodies, if such participation will advance our revolutionary aims, contribute towards the undermining of such bodies and towards the exposure and isolation of the out-and-out collaborators"-The Green Book, 1979

https://www.map-union.org/perspectives/fuck-the-kids-in-every-way-but-that-or-why-america-is-a-hypocritical-monsterThe rise of the extreme right in recent years cannot be divorced from the left's extreme 'wokism', which has boosted the appeal of the right by alienating and demonizing straight, white men; particularly young men. The left, in its ostensibly well-meaning yet obviously questionable attempts to address social justice, has fed into a dangerous narrative that frames 'normal men' as the root of all societal ills, effectively pushing them away. By labeling such men as they do, whether accurately or otherwise, the left has not only alienated an entire demographic but has also created fertile breeding ground for the radical right to blossom. The more these young men are made to feel hated and irrelevant, the more they gravitate toward ideologies that will embrace them. The Trump administration, while truly awful, is as much a product of woke as it is of puritanical white Christians.
From a MAP perspective, the left-aligned psychology industry, which has since the 1980s held significant sway over popular discourse regarding sexual behavior and victimhood, has overall been more damaging than anything coming from 'the right' in recent times. The industry's rise to prominence, with its strident advocacy for overreaching definitions of CSA, has done little to protect young people and their lovers but much to demean and punish them, stripping away their freedoms in the process. The overreaching zeal for protection has, ironically, rendered children less capable of navigating their own desires and boundaries, reinforcing a culture that treats young people as incapable of consent and in need of constant intervention.
Furthermore, left-wing sites and voices have gone so far as to demonize and shut out even non-offending MAPs, treating anyone who dares to identify as being attracted to children as utterly worthless and irredeemable. By silencing MAP voices and stifling attempts at building community, the left has robbed MAPs of the very basic right to activism, rendering them unable to defend themselves against extreme attacks from across the entire political spectrum. More alarmingly for the general public, this de facto policy of mass censorship forces MAPs into hiding even when peer support and attempts at deradicalization may be much needed. For a movement that claims to be about embracing and supporting all, the left has revealed itself to be a complete and utter fraud through its demonization of MAPs and wholesale denial of youth rights.
In conclusion…
The US continues to hail itself the supreme protector of children, all the while funding acts of child genocide, using chemical weapons on civilians, maintaining state-sponsored abductions of children from their families, and allowing schoolkids to be slaughtered in their classrooms. It is very much a destroyer of children, not a protector, and it has no right to tell anyone else how to best keep young people safe. It has nonetheless succeeded in poisoning the world with its grotesquely distorted approaches to all manner of social issues, including but not limited to child protection, through a mix of economic and political leverage and soft power. And its system is not broken, either internally or externally, as so many claim. The system is a sinister evil working exactly as it was intended, supported by morally bankrupt leaders and followers who are in the business of brutality for their own personal gain. Now that the second Trump administration has screamed the true horror of America and its leadership out loud, instead of simply hiding behind a pretty little facade like the leaders that came before them, it's about time the world tells America to fuck off and take its cynical cultural imperialism with it.
>>2269370>>2269369>>2269377>>2269397Adolescent sexuality is normal, and adolescent sexual exploration is normal—it always has been. Criminalizing it has done nothing to protect children from actual predators (those who mean harm or intend to cross boundaries). Consider this: Is an adolescent willfully exploring sexuality with an older adult inherently more traumatizing than that adult being led away in handcuffs, while the youth is labeled a victim regardless of their own thoughts? Isn’t that dehumanizing and disempowering?
If you claim adolescents are categorically unable to consent, you also erase their ability to say no. You reduce them to passive objects, stripping away their right to assert boundaries or make choices about their own bodies. How can they learn autonomy if their "yes" and "no" are both deemed irrelevant? By denying them agency in the name of protection, you infantilize them and rob sexuality of its potential for self-discovery. This isn’t empowerment—it’s control.
Your stance isn’t about protecting children or empowering them. It’s motivated by hatred of MAPs simply for existing. You’re using children as political pawns to attack people you despise.
>>2269400People who are pedophiles were born without souls. When God fucking made a mistake and made you, he didn't give you a soul, which is why you're forever cursed. Even if you were to be reincarnated, you would still be cursed as a pedophile. The only mercy that we could do is to kill you on the spot when we find out that you are one, regardless of if you offend or don't offend. You are a cursed person. You are not a person at all because you lack a soul.
It turns out most people agree with this take, and it turns out that most people know someone who has a story. What do you think those stories are about? People like you. People without souls. People who need to be put down like rabid fucking dogs with rabies.
>>2269415>Adolescent sexuality is normal, and adolescent sexual exploration is normal—it always has been.yes
>Criminalizing it has done nothing to protect children from actual predators (those who mean harm or intend to cross boundaries).agreed yes, predators like someone who allows a child or adolescent to sexually experiment on them, which is the same as assaulting a child except in VERY RARE extenuating circumstances, i.e. a severely mentally disabled adult who doesnt know whats happening otherwise
>Consider this: Is an adolescent willfully exploring sexuality with an older adult inherently more traumatizing than that adult being led away in handcuffs, while the youth is labeled a victim regardless of their own thoughts? Isn’t that dehumanizing and disempowering?>If you claim adolescents are categorically unable to consent, you also erase their ability to say no. ah i see youre a fucking pedo. kys or put yourself in extreme isolation. there is no way to rationalize your way around it
>>2269439oh yeah ik. i have no doubt it isnt contaminated and not strictly safe. any city in a major metro area in the US will def be contaminated with fecal matter and various other hazards. i did not read the article i am just saying that it being an objectively dirty creek = / = it is insane to swim in it and will definitely make you very sick to do so
this is retarded semantics that i did not clarify at all and is irrelevant im just thinking out loud here
>>2269415Criminalizing teenagers experimenting with each other is stupid. That is a completely different thing from adults being sexual with them.
>It’s motivated by hatred of MAPs simply for existing.No it's motivated by opposing you people demanding a right to have sex with children. There's non-offending pedophiles who understand it's harmful and don't do it. That's a whole other matter.
>>2269437If they understand they can't act on it and they never hurt kids they should just be left alone and given resources that help them not be tempted. A lot of child sex crimes aren't even done by pedophiles, so even if we completely handled the pedo part of it there would still be an issue.
>>2269440>ah i see youre a fucking pedo. kys or put yourself in extreme isolation. there is no way to rationalize your way around itYou're terrified to actually engage
>>2269440>agreed yes, predators like someone who allows a child or adolescent to sexually experiment on themBut if it's mutual and there's no harm being done, why exactly do you see it as so evil? Why do you immediately assume abuse rather than asking how the adolescent involved actually feels? How do these violent fantasies do anything to protect or empower anybody?
>>2269415>Consider this: Is an adolescent willfully exploring sexuality with an older adult inherently more traumatizing than that adult being led away in handcuffs, while the youth is labeled a victim regardless of their own thoughts? Isn’t that dehumanizing and disempowering?As a matter of fact, no.
This entire assertion falls apart with the simple fact that some CSA victims can take years to put the pieces together.
And during those years, they're desperately trying to deny the reality of the situation they were placed in by the adult any way that they can until something makes them inevitably come to the soul-shattering conclusion that they were taken advantage of by a grown-ass adult who they thought could trust but ultimately had more lustful goals in mind.
>>2269458Children can't consent you fucking creep.
Friendly reminder to report shit like this.
>>2269465Hey, I get where you’re coming from—delayed trauma is real, and nobody’s denying that some adults do manipulate and harm kids. But your response conflates all under-18 agency with abuse, and that’s the problem. You’re assuming every interaction is inherently predatory, even when the teen doesn’t feel violated. Some of us know youth who’ve had relationships they don’t regret, who’re pissed society insists they’re “broken” or “groomed” just because someone older was involved.
You talk about denial and delayed trauma, but what about teens who aren’t in denial? What about the ones who know what they wanted at the time and still stand by it? Automatically calling them victims erases their voice—it’s like saying their “yes” is meaningless but their “no” is the only thing that counts. How does that empower anyone?
The point isn’t to defend abusers. It’s to say not every age-gap connection is abuse, and treating them all as such hurts kids. It pushes them to hide relationships instead of seeking help if something actually goes wrong. If we want to protect youth, we need to listen to them, not just scream “PREDATOR!” at every opportunity. Otherwise, we’re just replicating the same conservative panic that ruins lives over false assumptions.
>>2269548Probably will do what they can, but they only care about AI right now because the Trump admin is crazy about AI and China in a very right-wing SV way. The administration is stacked with crackheads from this area so I suspect they aren’t even thinking about actual cars or whatever and are only thinking about “lightcones” and super intelligence.
They also have issued a global ban on every single individual from even participating in Chinese open source projects.
>>2269551Saying you can’t run inference of Chinese AI models on U.S. hardware and also saying you can’t use Ascend means you cannot run Chinese models on anything. So any U.S. company can’t serve Deepseek for example.
I was wondering why many of the AI IDEs didn’t have Deepseek but had crappy and expensive models from the U.S. (which cost them much more per API call) and I see now that they had foreknowledge of the Open Source Software ban coming.

https://jessica.substack.com/p/trump-has-a-stay-at-home-plan-for/commentsA summary of the situation is that death rates differ across various regions, which might be attributed to the hospital system in place. It appears that Baylor adheres much too strictly to the anti-choice law, likely to maintain their funding. The comments below reflect the strong emotions and outrage felt by some individuals regarding this issue.
"Houston where they’d rather let women who need life saving abortions die than lose potential funding. Fuck Baylor forever. Evil motherfuckers. Never liked them".
"Agree about Baylor. The worst".
It's worth noting that only paid subscribers are able to leave comments, which creates a record of their identity. I am, therefore, making a commentary in this section.
Baylor is switching the company that handles their support services from Atos to a new provider. Atos will be out of the picture by November 1st, 2025, and their contractors are already making plans to leave. However, the new team won't be ready to take over in time. I think this change will cause some problems for BSWH in September. While it won't affect the issue of abortion, it's useful information that can help guide efforts to organize and take labor action.
>>2269589In regards to 2025, the summer, I think everyone's aware that it's going to be a hot summer. I think everyone's aware there's going to be some level of insurrection, some level of riots, some level of high-intensity protests, similar to 2020. But I think anyone who was involved in summer 2020, who was on the ground, knows that it was going to happen again, and should hopefully have been taking steps to prepare for it to happen again, building infrastructure to some degree. I just have a feeling that if this summer is hot, it's going to be significantly hotter than 2020, just because we've already had 2020. We are learning from that. Furthermore, yesterday, we put out a post talking about a strike in Rochester. Graduate students are going to crash the commencement and disrupt it. It's not on any public channels, beyond word of mouth. The striker came to me and asked me to boost this action. In a way, that post is a test run of our ability to disperse information that's relevant to doing and taking action to the masses, to see how it goes, because the action is on Friday. Today's Thursday, so there's a short time window to get the information out

DOJ Releases "Community-Oriented Policing Services (COPS)" Programs Aimed at Hiring/Re-Hiring of LEOs Across Key "Common Sense Policing" Initiatives
North America
Link to the Gov website with details about grants and available documents: Grants | COPS OFFICE
The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office,
https://cops.usdoj.gov)is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding for the FY25 COPS Hiring Program (CHP). This program furthers the COPS Office’s goal of advancing public safety through community policing by funding additional full-time career law enforcement positions to meet law enforcement agencies’ community policing strategies. As community policing is common sense policing, throughout the CHP Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) materials, the terms ‘community policing’ and ‘common sense policing’ are used interchangeably, unless otherwise specified.
Key Focus Areas:
Violent Crime -Applicant will employ common sense policing strategies to address a range of violent crime problems. Applicants committed to aggressively enforcing gun laws; addressing human trafficking, criminal gangs, or drug manufacturing / dealing / trafficking; dismantling gangs, street crews, and drug networks; or cracking down on the open use of illegal drugs subcategories will receive additional consideration.
Squatting and Encampment Enforcement -Applicants will focus on ending squatting by collaborating with federal law enforcement / task forces to end the epidemic of squatters and public encampments that create safe havens for drugs, crime, and human trafficking.
Homeland and Border Security -Applicants will partner with federal law enforcement to combat illegal immigration (e.g., information sharing, 287(g) partnerships, task forces, and honoring detainers), protecting critical infrastructures, and information/intelligence problems. (If interested in information about 287g partnerships, lmk- I have that info as well)
Nuisance Abatement and Quality of Life -Applicants will focus on aggressive and strict enforcement of nuisance abatement and blight including, among other things, petty larceny and criminal damage to property.
School Based Policing -Applicants will focus on deploying School Resource Officers (SROs) to protect elementary or secondary schools, expand crime prevention efforts, identify changes to reduce crime in and around schools, and other activities to increase school safety.
Other/Innovations in Common Sense Policing – Applicants are required to describe new and promising approaches in common sense policing that can be advanced through the COPS Hiring Program.
Applicants will be given priority consideration if they meet one of these criteria:
Ending Deadly Sanctuary City Polices -Agencies that cooperate with federal law enforcement to address illegal immigration (state and local government applicants only)
Safe Harbor – Applicants in states with certain anti-human trafficking laws that treat minors engaged in commercial sex as victims (referred to as “safe harbor” laws) and permit individuals to vacate arrest or prosecution records for non-violent offenses as a result of being trafficked.
Catastrophic Incident – Applicants that experienced a major disaster or catastrophic event in the time period from January 1, 2024, to present, or Attorney General–declared area in crime related crisis.
Hiring Veterans – Applicants that commit to hiring at least one military veteran
Rural Designation – Applicants from rural areas
Unfunded in previous year – Applicants that did not receive a CHP award in FY24 due to the limited availability of funding who submit a quality application in FY25.
>>2269941>muh walking streetsnot beating the allegations lmfao
the point is that people are pretending that 60% of yankees are destitute and somehow struggling for survival, which is completely pants on head retarded
>>2269898Counter insurgency tactics brought home. The use of the phrase "community policing" does not escape me, recuperating anarchist thought back into the state violence. Targeting squats specifically signals to me a direct attempt to undermine mutual aid — dual power structures that exist or could be born from these places. School based policing is them doubling down on the school to prison pipeline, which is key in bolstering our economy, as the majority of corpos in the US use prison slave labor. Anything like this talking about gangs simply means more militant police in occupied black/brown neighborhoods. Seems like they are gearing up for something bigger than they are letting on.
The goal is to squash any small slices of sovereignty before it grows. The state is not pushing ideological campaigns to regain legitimacy, unable to reverse economic disintegration, facing potential mass insurrection, the snake begins to contract, no hearts and minds, only force—even at home.
The state does not operate on vibes—it operates on intelligence aggregation and scenario modeling, war gaming and simulations. We can use this to model our own intelligence. Based on this and the 20k ICE agent mass hiring EO from last week. It's clear, the regime's internal models predict a high probability of mass insurrection, and that the response will force-based.
They are preparing not for possibility of revolution, but its inevitability.

former biden staffers love trump for doing everything biden couldn't
>"Gosh, I wish I could work for an administration that could move that quickly," one admitted.
>"He does all this, and it's kind of silence, it's met with a shrug," says Ned Price, a former senior State Department official under President Biden. "He has the ability to do things politically that previous presidents did not, because he has complete unquestioned authority over the Republican caucus."
>"It's hard not to be simultaneously terrified at the thought of the damage he can cause with such power, and awed by his willingness to brazenly shatter so many harmful taboos," says Rob Malley, who held senior posts in three Democratic administrations, including handling Iran talks under Presidents Obama and Biden.
>"It's so clearly the right decision," said Ben Rhodes, a national security aide to President Obama, on the "Pod Save the World" podcast. "I don't know why Joe Biden didn't do this." "I don't like Trump's motivations for lots of things he does," Rhodes continued, "but one thing you will say is he's not tied to this constant fear of some bad faith right-wing attacks or stupid Blob-type, 'we don't do this, we must leverage the sanctions for blah blah blah.' No! Sometimes you just have to try something different."
>"I suspect Witkoff doesn't have to look over his shoulder as much as others have. His predecessors have had to make sure the secretary of defense is on board and the secretary of the Treasury is on board, and the head of the CIA is on board. He just does it," the former Biden official said.
>"This is not about President Biden, this is about President Trump and the advantage that he has with Bibi [Netanyahu]," Price said. "If the Biden administration had done something like this, Bibi would have gone out guns blazing."https://www.axios.com/2025/05/15/trump-israel-syria-policy-reverse-bidenhello people, good morning, just waking up…

aaaaanyway.
you don't know what you are talking about.
a minimum wagecuck in the US can buy a bunch of meaningless trinkets and bric-a-brac stuff the global south minimum wage worker can't.
I know because I live in the global south and I compare things with what I see in tiktok online, even among communists tiktokers.
that's why American comrades get very little solidarity from the average global south worker.
>>2270045if you are going to do squatting, get your faces covered while recording, jesus fucking christ.

>consumerismNot really a thing.
>They at once denigrate Americans for wasting their time on valueless trinketsThis is a personal opinion, of course the middle-class will waste their disposable income on useless garbage.
>and at the same time resent and envy the American possession of valueless trinkets.No, they envy the disparity of their class positions, dumbshit.
>>2270063>Why are Third-Worldists so schizophrenic about consumerism?>envy the American possession of valueless trinketsthe wording is confusing, rarely I see global south Third-Worldists, except for Mao himself, who proposed the silly concept.
there are different variation of them. Most commonly I've seen are the ones that are worried about depleting resources, damaging ecology, etc.
>envyI wasn't envying, just in case. I am comparing the purchase power between workers.
even workers in the imperial core living in a car have the option to
buy a car.
>>2270072I understand that, but running to claim you live worst than the average people living in Ethiopia is outrageous.
I'd know when things are bad in the US when it becomes a net migrating country and not a net immigrating country.
>>2270072>if I make up a strawman in my head, I winImbeciles here can't avoid getting emotional whenever proper class analysis is presented. Everyone here just wants a "socialism" for fools.
>>2270075>you're either a third-worldist or someone who believes in le 99% bullshitIt's pathetic how this shithole is just two sides of a retarded coin.
>>2270076>I'd know when things are bad in the US when it becomes a net migrating country and not a net immigrating country.This pretty much.
inb4 some shit about propaganda because ideas rule reality.
>>2270104You don't have to "win over the proletariat", retard. They're already associating and fighting out there, what you need to do is unite their separate struggles.
>>2270105You're delusional.
>>2270091>>2270098you know theres a huge difference between buying one cheap anime figure and having a whole collection of them right
because individual choices dont matter in class analysis whether you use your disposable income to consume or to invest is irrelevant to your overall class position
>>2270067Consoomerism is problem. AmeriKKKa primary cotradiction is parasitic imperialist nature where everyone is useless parasite. Hundreds of millions consoomers live off the back of several million proletarians. Every office worker. Every doctor. Every teacher. Every prostitute. Every lawyer. Etc. All consoomer, not producer. Entire industries of parasites. Entertainment. Resturant. Healthcare. Too big need degrowth.
Medicaid is consumerism. Medicare is consumerism. Snaps is consumerism. Etc. Parasitic consumer nature is primary contradiction for proletarian. thank you
Every walmart worker is bourgeois non-producer. Every walmart worker is consumerist.
>>2270114The idle bourgeois consumer produce no value therefore they have bourgeois relations to production, therefore they claim to the fruits of production, therefore they own means of production by proxy.
>>2270114>wielding capital can only mean literal physical businesses and nothing elseRetards like you are so confident in their stupidity indeed. Like
>>2270108 if you have the money to invest but choose not to then you simply suck at capitalistic competition and that doesn't make you a proletarian, or are businesses on the brink of bankruptcy proletarian too?
>>2270117excellent point. Doctors are bourgeoisie even if no surplus-income b3cause they produce no value but all surplus-income havers are bourgeoisie.
>>2270120We can look at BLS data. You can deny the facts. In ameriKKKa, hundreds of millions of idle parasites live off the backs of few tens of millions of proletarians and their imperialist system. Mcdonald workers produce no value. Mcdonald is bourgeois industry
>>2270109critiques of consumerism are anti-proletarian
it stems from a bourgeois fear that the proles might have 'too much' comfort, that they might be consuming more than they are producing
>>2270138Consumerism isn't a real thing because the proletariat doesn't even get the chance to engage in it in the first place and most people complaining about it only focus on the consumption habits they don't like while ignoring the rest.
>>2270139>dont start crying about "absurdist reductionism"<grouping most Americans as bourgeois because they go to the movies twice a year or buy a mother's day presentLmao. Can't read, can't argue.
>>2270137Wrong. Doctors are bourgeois because they produce no value.
>>2270140After the burger is eaten, what value remains? The value is destroyed in process of consumption. Only vulgar bourgeois say destroying value is productive.
>>2270143Wrong. Youre the retard. Youre the imperialist
>>2270138Wrong. Bourgeois consumption is result of mass exploitation.
>>2270150I'm the one shitting on the Glownonymous talking about "producing value" as a determining factor in class position. Not everyone working manufacturing and construction is reserveless and propertyless, especially in America.
>>2270153Cool Marx quote that isn't relevant to the discussion of class position at all.
>>2270156It's all bait.
>>2270149And as Lenin pointed out the proletariat can come to trade Union consciosness but not further. After that it needs an element with advanced consciousness to more and more together.
If the proletariat can endogenously come as far as trade Union consciousness, then it naturally follows that the middle class is an important element of the vanguard.
>>2270186I don't know why you repeat yourself, their program wasn't communist.
>the petit bourgeoisie being a crucial part of the socialist revolutionThis is just Great Man retardation.
>>2270187I know class analysis isn't when you make up shit nobody has said and then claim all class analysis is actually a petit-bourgeois endeavor (except for yourself obviously!).
>>2270190>I don't know why you repeat yourself, their program wasn't communistBut the communists who fought against the Baptista regime originated from the petit-bourgeois and spread through good propaganda to enhance class consciousness to the proles during the Cuban Revolution
>This is just Great Man retardationIts not Great Man when they are the ones who fund organizations and have more free time than the average prole which statistically makes them way more likely to read theory than the average prole. You are using Great Man Theory incorrectly. Saying Lenin is the reason for the Russian Revolution is Great Man Theory. Saying that Lenin and many Russian radical thinkers and socialist leaderships pre-revolution came from the middle class is not Great Man theory.
>>2270167>pretend the whole class is important to communist is fucking stupid.also not what was said, god damn you're dumb.
The middle class is also the key player in fascist counter-revolution. The main take away is that the middle class is a source of
volatility but not necessarily
revolutionary potential. Volatility is a necessary component, much as having a small, unstable detonator is a key component of a bomb that is mostly filled with far more potent, but also more stable filler.
>>2270178>>2270187>>2270199youre just projecting an obtuse understanding to what the thread is saying
if a worker has reserves such as savings and access to credit and job welfare that more destitute workers dontt have then one has impetus to struggle against capital while the other still benefits from it by having stakes in profit and being kept afloat or able to expand their wealth using those reserves. they just arent enough to compete with bigger capital
thats the difference between the haute bourgeois, the petite bourgeois and the proletariat
>>2270251The margin in 2016 was tight enough that a man with the same policies and background as Hillary probably could've won it.
But in 2024 it wasn't really close, and the Democrats had been bleeding approval rating pretty much since Biden took office.
Hell, most insider info we have suggests that the Old White Man with the exact same agenda as Kamala was going to lose by a much larger margin.
>>2270192>reserveless, propertylessthey wrote that in the context of victorian england where children were working 16 hour shifts in toxic life-shortening conditions without safety gear and making barely enough to eat. as capitalism spread from the core to the periphery, the worst aspects of it got dumped on the periphery. In the imperial core you don't see the children in the cobalt mines. You mostly see the service cashiers and waiters. The truth is someone who stocks shelves at a grocery store IS exploited but they aren't exploited in exactly the same way a child in a cobalt mine is. The surface appearance is once again getting confused for the essence. The core got the comfier jobs (on average) while the periphery got the more brutal and deadly jobs (on average).
Workers in the imperial core are still exploited. They still make below the value their labor power produces, but they sometimes make above subsistence. Hence the ability to save money and buy non-essentials, and also the low but nonzero chance to become bourgeois, especially if you never have fun, work longer hours and avoid having children, which is what the upwardly mobile "grindset" careerists are taught to do. Subsistence wages includes the cost of 2.5 children because that is how the labor power demanded by capital is both reproduced and grown alongside the economy. But in the imperial core countries fertility rates drop below 2.5 children per woman, which means that as capital grows it has to seek its labor power from the countries that still have high fertility rates, which are incidentally usually in the periphery. Imperialism is therefore, alongside climate change, the root cause of both the job outsourcing problem and the migration crisis. Imperial core countries want it both ways.
They want to stop the flow of migrants but they also want to exploit them. Hence the increasing prevalence of prison slavery, see the way Bukele's prisons are working the inmates.
>>2269204Ah, but you see I saved my porn on my PC, they will never take it and they can't enforce this retarded law. Besides, they are only doing this as a way of control and a way of getting rid of things that they don't like. You know that they will just expand the definition of "pornography" to mean anything that they don't like such as LGBT people, also media that has sex in it, or messages they dislike or think go against their spooky "God".
BTW, Utah deserves to be shamed and embarrassed for their religious nuttery.
Is it too late to start forming left-wing militias for community self-defense?
>>2270364Felix who here actually thought that the middle class was revolutionary?
>>2270368Forming militias for self defense is the wrong thinking, forming an army for offensive action is the correct path.
Self-defense is suicidal for guerrillas, because it implies fighting on the state's terms instead of your own.
The only way a guerrilla can defeat the state's forces, which inevitably have vastly superior firepower, is to fight them on their own terms, on the terrain and at the time of their choosing.
>Felix who here actually thought that the middle class was revolutionary?Most of you dorks, which is why it's been such a fight to get you to actually accept reason.
>>2270378Anarchoids have formed little bandit cells, nothing worthy of being called an army or even a militia.
They are one of our primary roadblocks in the goal of organizing the working class, and should be exterminated without mercy.
>>2270380No, they are not. They are working towards the ideal of a bandit reich where they and their friends never have to work again.
It's not a matter of ideological purity, they diametrically opposed to Communism and should always be treated as such. The idea that Anarchoids and Communists have ANYTHING in common is a myth spread by the bandits themselves so they can cheat the executioner of his pay.
>>2270386You're not an executioner or a Chekist no matter how much you want to LARP as one so cut that shit out than.
Assuming that you are a communist as you claim to be, you desire a society free that has abolished money, class, the state, and private property. You want an end to imperialism, an end to racial and national prejudice, and indeed the end of borders between nations at all. You want everyone to have their basic needs and to earn the full value of their labor, correct? If you agree that even some of these are communist goals, then congratulations you agree with anarchists too whether you like it or not.
>>2270372Well I suppose it is true operating from a merely defensive position is a losing battle in the long term.
>>2270378Well we need many more than.
>>2270394It's a process, the goal is taking the fight to the state but self defense militias are a good start to getting there. It's the variety of tactics that's important
>>2270395Sorry comrade but you'll be producing Wojaks for the good of the state
>>2270364The petty bourgeoisie is reactionary by default but as the profit rate continues to fall and the big bourgeoisie consolidate their power, small business owners go bankrupt, mortgages default, and there is a general downward mobility of the petty bourgeoisie into the proletariat. These petty bourgeoisie bring with them their reactionary class consciousness and go through the stages of grief about their downward mobility. They truly become the basis of a reactionary political movement in reaction to their downward mobility. They mistakenly believe they can work with the bourgeoisie to restore their lost petty bourgeois status, and they work against people who have been proles for longer than them and have no such illusions. The liquidation of the American middle class has been ongoing for 40 years which is why the ranks of the american proletariat is always swelling with former-petty bourgeois and why it's so hard for the american proletariat to get their shit together. Meanwhile people in the USA who have been proles for the longest are often losing their jobs, getting thrown in prison, or becoming homeless, losing even their status as proles. If a corporation has to choose between hiring someone who has always been proletarian or hiring someone who used to be petty bourgeois, they will always choose the latter, because the latter have the bootlicking false consciousness that is desired by the big bourgeoisie. Stalin's "Shoe Maker" example is very important to me for this reason and I always post it:
>Here is a simple illustration. Let us take a shoemaker who owned a tiny workshop, but who, unable to withstand the competition of the big manufacturers, closed his workshop and took a job, say, at Adelkhanov's shoe factory in Tiflis. He went to work at Adelkhanov's factory not with the view to becoming a permanent wage-worker, but with the object of saving up some money, of accumulating a little capital to enable him to reopen his workshop. As you see, the position of this shoemaker is already proletarian, but his consciousness is still non-proletarian, it is thoroughly petty-bourgeois. In other words, this shoemaker has already lost his petty-bourgeois position, it has gone, but his petty-bourgeois consciousness has not yet gone, it has lagged behind his actual position. Clearly, here too, in social life, first the external conditions change, first the conditions of men change and then their consciousness changes accordingly. But let us return to our shoemaker. As we already know, he intends to save up some money and then reopen his workshop. This proletarianised shoemaker goes on working, but finds that it is a very difficult matter to save money, because what he earns barely suffices to maintain an existence. Moreover, he realises that the opening of a private workshop is after all not so alluring: the rent he will have to pay for the premises, the caprices of customers, shortage of money, the competition of the big manufacturers and similar worries — such are the many troubles that torment the private workshop owner. On the other hand, the proletarian is relatively freer from such cares; he is not troubled by customers, or by having to pay rent for premises. He goes to the factory every morning, "calmly" goes home in the evening, and as calmly pockets his "pay" on Saturdays. Here, for the first time, the wings of our shoemaker's petty-bourgeois dreams are clipped; here for the first time proletarian strivings awaken in his soul. Time passes and our shoemaker sees that he has not enough money to satisfy his most essential needs, that what he needs very badly is a rise in wages. At the same time, he hears his fellow-workers talking about unions and strikes. Here our shoemaker realises that in order to improve his conditions he must fight the masters and not open a workshop of his own. He joins the union, enters the strike movement, and soon becomes imbued with socialist ideas. Thus, in the long run, the change in the shoemaker's material conditions was followed by a change in his consciousness: first his material conditions changed, and then, after a time, his consciousness changed accordingly.We must keep this type of person in mind and target them for re-education because the American proletariat is constantly being swelled with the ranks of liquidated petty bourgeoisie, and the "old" proletariat is also being thrown into prison, into the reserve army of labor, and onto the streets, where they die.
>>2270364>the American "middle class" is not actually a revolutionary class, but rather a reactionary one.everyone knows these people were the basis for reagan's supporters, clinton's supporters, obama's supporters, trump's supporters, biden's supporters. everyone knows these people were the basis of the tea party and the libertarians and the MAGA movement. These people were truly brainbroken by 9/11 and became hyper-patriots and begged for the blood of the middle east for years on end. Everyone can see that they are reactionary. Seriously, who
didn't see this?
>>2270398"Not only had this situation to be understood but the art and science – both political and military – of armed liberation struggles in the modern epoch had to be grasped and applied. The head-on mobile warfare of the traditional African armies of the past could not meet the challenge. The riot, the street fight, the outbursts of unorganised violence, individual terrorism – these were symptoms of the militant spirit, but not pointers to revolutionary technique"-Strategy and Tactics of the ANC, 1969
Once again, the Anarchoid is wrong.
>>2270391I mostly want anarchists dead, actually. What you don't understand is that you are actively in the way of accomplishing those goals, you are in fact our most intractable enemy.
>>2270408The "middle class" isn't usually petty-bourgeois in the Marxist sense, they are something different. Petty bourgeois are small business owners, artisans and other self-employed workers. The "middle class" is still alienated from the means of production and works for a wage, and so many retards confuse them with the revolutionary class, but they are in fact the strongest bulwark against revolution and social change in America.
>>2269999they fantasize about being landed gentry drunk on small ale all the times, paying a dowry of cows for a wife half their age, impregnating her with 12 chlidren so that she dies at 40 from the complications of giving birth so many times, all while cheating on her with younger maidens, and then rinsing and repeating that process until they die of liver failure at the ripe old age of 55.
They don't consider serfdom or any of that. They see themselves as landed gentry. They don't think they'll be a peasant drafted to carry a pike and die in a stupid war after taking friendly fire in the back from a longbowman or getting run over by some cavalry
>>2270418There's a reason why I took the name Dzerzhinsky, you know. He almost singlehandedly saved the revolution by doing what was necessary, the complete extermination of all bandits in Petrograd.
He was the most Communist man who has ever lived. Communism is about doing what is necessary for the betterment of society, regardless of the personal costs. Felix understood that and had the courage to carry it out. Without him, the greatest revolution in history would have fallen into reaction at the hands of a bandit fifth column.

>>2270334Bourgeois consumption of value is destruction of value. The anti-Marxist vulgar bourgeois economist says the hamburger is transformed to a higher form, but what is left when the hamburger is eaten? Nothing. Therefore resturant workers destroy value. Nothing is produced in mcdonalds. Value is only destroyed.
The proletarians produce the beef. The semi-proletarian bourgeois who cook and serve the beef produce no value. The hamburger is eaten and nothing is left. No social aggregate product is created when beef is consumed. Social aggregate product is only destroyed.
Social aggtegate product is created when proletarians hang chickens. social aggregate product is DESTROYED when chicken is served as chicken nugget
