>>2445395The police officer is fighting for more overtime. The National Guardsman who works as a server at Texas Roadhouse during the week—he joined up to get healthcare, healthcare that he could barely afford even with the National Guard. The People's Liberation Army says, "You're going to get healthcare if you join us." So how strongly is he attached to his goals and his position when the national guard is ordered to fire on the people, on the masses, on the PLA? The regime's army will be littered with defectors and saboteurs. This is why the revolution will win, because we are simply more serious about it. We have more to lose. We are deeper into this shit. The police officer does not want to die for the cause. The revolutionary does not want to die for the cause. But the revolutionary accepts that he may, and the police officer does not. And that is the fundamental difference, and that is why we will win. The powers that be fight for profits and petty comforts—for yachts at the top, and overtime pay for the pigs at the bottom. The resistance fights for the entire biosphere; the resistance fights for a future not only for themselves but for the entire planet. The resistance fighter has the backing of the entire planet; the cop he's executing has only the backing of his capitalist masters. The cop hopes to make it home; the revolutionary knows there may be no home if the struggle is lost. Revolutions are successful when their militants embrace necessity, while the state depends on an army of people who never signed up to die for spreadsheets, stock portfolios, or real estate developers.
https://erikhoudini.com/#post?id=101917&title=the-cowardice-of-the-anti-life-regime-and-the-necessity-of-struggle>>2446539Now imagine what happens when the first IED goes off on an ICE convoy, or when urban guerillas actually run up and handle business.
I don't give a fuck if they look bored, they are enemies of the people and occupiers. They must be destroyed. No more begging for mercy and peace from the oppressor.
Notice the highlighted bit. Imagine if there was armed struggle, then imagine what media people who act in support of the guerilla. That should tell you that media left is counter revolutionary.
>All of this ultimately circles back to one fundamental core contradiction with the left: the masses are, in a lot of ways, more revolutionary than the people who have been assigned by both themselves and the powers that be to lead the masses. When a random cashier at the Dollar General is telling me, "Wow, things are way too expensive here, I can't even afford to eat here," he's telling me this offhandedly. But then the political pundit on the left is just talking about how, I don't know, that Dollar General person needs to go to an AOC (genocide supporter) rally because we have to "meet people where they are." I do wonder who exactly we are meeting in the middle? The capitalist? Because that person doesn't get a single thing from a rally like that, but the capitalist does. >>2446586The older I get the more I recognize that Twitter post about voting be blowing up a WalMart got so much traction because it hit a nerve.
Of course this isn’t to shame people who didn’t vote, lord knows I couldn’t bring myself to vote for Kamala after the Gaza fiasco. But now the narrative is “actually it’s the guys who said we should vote to avoid this exact scenario who have to strap a bomb jacket to their chest and blow shit up, the guys who said they won’t vote and don’t care because something-something revolution don’t have to do anything.”
>>2446521>>2446534>Is a sense of national pride alien to us, Great-Russian class-conscious proletarians? Certainly not! We love our language and our country, and we are doing our very utmost to raise her toiling masses (i.e., nine-tenths of her population) to the level of a democratic and socialist consciousness. To us it is most painful to see and feel the outrages, the oppression and the humiliation our fair country suffers at the hands of the tsar’s butchers, the nobles and the capitalists. We take pride in the resistance to these outrages put up from our midst, from the Great Russians; in that midst having produced Radishchev,[3] the Decembrists[4] and the revolutionary commoners of the seventies[5]; in the Great-Russian working class having created, in 1905, a mighty revolutionary party of the masses; and in the Great-Russian peasantry having begun to turn towards democracy and set about overthrowing the clergy and the landed proprietors.
>We remember that Chernyshevsky, the Great-Russian democrat, who dedicated his life to the cause of revolution, said half a century ago: “A wretched nation, a nation of slaves, from top to bottom—all slaves."[6] The overt and covert Great-Russian slaves (slaves with regard to the tsarist monarchy) do not like to recall these words. Yet, in our opinion, these were words of genuine love for our country, a love distressed by the absence of a revolutionary spirit in the masses of the Great-Russian people. There was none of that spirit at the time. There is little of it now, but it already exists. We are full of national pride because the Great-Russian nation, too, has created a revolutionary class, because it, too, has proved capable of providing mankind with great models of the struggle for freedom and socialism, and not only with great pogroms, rows of gallows, dungeons, great famines and great servility to priests, tsars, landowners and capitalists.[…]
>The objection may be advanced that, besides tsarism and under its wing, another historical force has arisen and become strong, viz., Great-Russian capitalism, which is carrying on progressive work by economically centralising and welding together vast regions. This objection, however, does not excuse, but on the contrary still more condemns our socialist-chauvinists, who should be called tsarist-Purishkevich socialists[7] (just as Marx called the Lassalleans Royal-Prussian socialists).[8] Let us even assume that history will decide in favour of Great-Russian dominant-nation capitalism, and against the hundred and one small nations. That is not impossible, for the entire history of capital is one of violence and plunder, blood and corruption. We do not advocate preserving small nations at all costs; other conditions being equal, we are decidedly for centralisation and are opposed to the petty-bourgeois ideal of federal relationships. Even if our assumption were true, however, it is, firstly, not our business, or that of democrats (let alone of socialists), to help Romanov-Bobrinsky-Purishkevich throttle the Ukraine, etc. In his own Junker fashion, Bismarck accomplished a progressive historical task, but he would be a fine “Marxist” indeed who, on such grounds, thought of justifying socialist support for Bismarck! Moreover, Bismarck promoted economic development by bringing together the disunited Germans, who were being oppressed by other nations. The economic prosperity and rapid development of Great Russia, however, require that the country be liberated from Great-Russian oppression of other nations—that is the difference that our admirers of the true-Russian would-be Bismarcks overlook.
<Lenin: On the National Pride of the Great RussiansThe citation at [7] is a reference to Purishkevich, a member of the Black Hundreds. Lenin basically wrote about shit like the hard hat riots decades in advance.

Why doesn't any other? The PSL? WWP? SEP? ACP? RevCom?
You know it seems to me that you'll get all these different groups that either split or form from some other split or even sometimes just organize ancillary to us, and it's near-constant with the slander "Oh they're not REAL revolutionaries, like us!" But then push comes to shove and most of them just quietly mimic us while claiming through some rhetorical alchemy that it's actually a different position. Perhaps a less leftish example is one of the Pro-Palestine groups who were protesting the Gaza genocide announced that they won't endorse any candidate, period… but then they said "We support voting against Trump" and then "We believe voting for a third party is a wasted vote" in the span of the same announcement. So in essence they endorsed Kamala but just didn't say her name to show how miffed they were.
I've had plenty of struggles with lifestyle changes in the past; going to the gym more, eating better, drinking less. And the simple fact of the matter is that all these complaints "Well the CPUSA isn't doing anything!" ring about as true as the type of person who insists they want to lose weight, but always find an excuse not to go to the gym. "Well, I was trying to lose weight, but my wife had to come home with a big chocolate cake, god damn it! So now I guess I have to eat the cake! Oh well would you look at that, I'm so tired after eating all this cake I've got to take a nap! Well well well! It's so late now I just can't go to the gym, it's all my wife's fault!"
We aren't the only Communist party around. We're not even the biggest. There is absolutely nothing we can do to stop other radical communist parties from doing something they're intent on doing. But the truth they really don't want to admit to themselves is that deep down, for all the radical rhetoric, for however incendiary they act, they don't actually want to take the first foot forward. They'll blame everyone else: the CPUSA, the DSA, the "treatlers", the libs, whatever. But the fact is they know that deep down they just don't want to give up their cozy little apartments, their nifty little commodities, their granite countertops and Amazon packages. They say they do, but then they think about all that work and how much fun they'll be losing out on, and they try to find an excuse to preserve their egos.
It's the most nakedly obvious thing in the world.
>>2446629>>2446534CPUSAnon's reaction to this was not to sympathize with the hippies, not even the reactionaries who beat them, rather he had to think up an imaginary murderer to sympathize with.
This is a person who looks at the absolutely unholy slaughter and murder of the Vietnam war and is so enraged that anyone might dare stop it he can only think of murdering them like the US army did in Korea.
Nothing could be more telling for his politics. Burning children alive with napalm is a small price to pay for The American Way he loves so much.

>tfw the USA is literally more racist than nazi germany<August 3, 1936—Owens won his first gold medal in the 100-meter dash. Hitler did not meet or shake hands with Owens. That said, there are several reports of a salute or wave. According to sports reporter and author Paul Gallico, writing from Berlin, Owens was “led below the honor box, where he smiled and bowed, and Herr Hitler gave him a friendly little Nazi salute, the sitting down one with the arm bent.” Owens himself later confirmed this, claiming that they exchanged congratulatory waves. So, Owens was not personally snubbed by Hitler. However, Owens did feel that he had been snubbed by someone: U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt. A month after the Olympic Games, Owens told a crowd, “Hitler didn’t snub me—it was [Roosevelt] who snubbed me. The president didn’t even send me a telegram.”https://www.britannica.com/story/was-jesse-owens-snubbed-by-adolf-hitler-at-the-berlin-olympics >>2446534>>2446634Read "Blue-Collar Empire"
https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/98429I'm reading it right now and there literal AFL-CIA shit. Literally, they had a CIA base in the headquarters as a floor.
>>2446682Of course Biden failed, and now we've got Trump putting the NatGuard on the streets and talking about cancelling elections and becoming a dictator. We've got the whole "Alligator Alcatraz" stuff. Sure some aspects of the judiciary are pushing back, but its full steam ahead.
And personally, I don't see the current ICE tactics being born from a Democratic administration, hell maybe not even a "regular" Republican administration.
>>2446705Holy shit absolutely fucked lmao
>>2446683bro imagine being so shitty and incompetent at ruling that you can't even gerrymander properly
>>2446620incredible
>acktually the NSDAP was dissolved in 1945 so therefore Nazis don't exist anymoreenergy coming from this post
>>2446606NewsWire made a post about Trump saying America wants a dictator and there are so many drooling retards in the replies saying he's joking.
I don't think they've realized that Trump uses this "many people are saying" shit to gauge how well something will go over. If people don't complain it'll become reality, but if they bitch about it it'll stay "just a joke"
>>2446723He might be seeing the end coming near and wants to go down in history as our first explicit dictator before the bigmac sauce reaches his brain.
Also, him wanting to be a dictator given the economy we have has the potential for something spicy happening.
>>2446606>not realizing the “defense” part has always been for propaganda and casus belli purposes What a fucking dumb ass.
The most flagrantly hawkish neo-cons even understood the utility of this.
>>2446729Man after trying to learn what I can of financial markets (note there are
so many people that study finance more than me) all I can say is: there's so much fucking horseshit, so much unbelievable nonsense, I don't think anyone can predict what'll happen.
Like, did you know how much of the stock market is bullshit? Like in
theory companies issue stock that you buy in order to have a stake in the company. But people have bought the entirety of a company's free-floating shares before and, wouldn't you know it, the stock kept trading. The market's driven by algorithms, not people, and there are enough financial tools that hedge funds can essentially just create phantom shares to trade.
Then there's Student Loan Asset Backed Securities (SLABS) which essentially are: you can't discharge student loan debt, so Wall Street created these "safe" investments that are backed by ownership of student debt. If there's even a chance that those loans get forgiven (something that'd help God only knows how many people out here) you'll see Wall Street meltdown because suddenly these "safe" securities aren't backed by anything.
60% of Americans don't make enough money to live some vaunted "American Standard of Living".
When it comes to the economy, I think it's just Minesweeper at this point, but on a grid the size of the earth, and there are more and more mines appearing on some unchecked tiles. Anything, I mean it, anything at all could 'cause a crash.
>>2446749Me of course! Your leftist messiah was lurking here all along.
Now get off your hindquarters and organize an armed body of the proletariat or whatever
>>2446757In all seriousness I'm a decent speaker. I'll freely admit that I'm no expert on theory but if you need a good Mouth of Sauron or whatever I'm your guy
>>2446758I've written some decent effortposts here from time to time though again I'll admit I'm not an expert at theory and my writing style tends to follow the Sorelian "stream of consciousness" method. Or perhaps "babbling brook of badness" if you prefer. But I can whip something together quick if you want.
>>2446763>>2446765Fellas I hate to break it to you but if you want the hot trans goth chicks you're going to have to befriend her polycule, which means sleeping with a butch puppygirl or two
>>2446529>We KNOW how this goes throughout history and yet we're repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again.most people are retarded and don't know anything about history, if you walk up to them and ask them which is why history gets repeated. Also even the people who do know history don't know historical materialism. They don't see human society as a system, and they see history as merely a series of random trivia events to memorize. Also a lot of people claim to like or even love history but still don't know shit.
They say "those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it" but I say "those who do know history are doomed to repeat themselves". Nobody listens.
>>2446801A) complicit in the crimes of the British Empire
B) complicit in the crimes of slavery
C) complicit in the crimes of fascism
D) complicit in the crimes of the Cold War
>>2446881What I wrote was the product of a ton of intoxicants but yeah, if you think about it the movie is basically about MegaCorps trying to do resource extraction. The comedy kind of obscures the subversive element of it.
Hell, the conspiracist in the movie traces a line all the way back to the antebellum south using slave labor to derive super-profits. Like the real villain of the movie isn't Will Farrell's character (even the conspiracist says as much) but basically just the Capitalist system itself.
>>2446801lmao, imagine discriminating
white people (Italians) in the most American way. how is this not funny.
Stalin’s responsibility in the creation of Israel and its disastrous consequences
In 1948, the Israeli state was founded, and millions of Palestinians were expelled from their homeland. Scandalously, the Stalinist bureaucracy supported the creation of Israel – a move which had a disastrous impact on the world communist movement.
https://communist.red/stalins-responsibility-in-the-creation-of-israel-and-its-disastrous-consequences/How Joseph Stalin Helped Create the State of Israel.
Joseph Stalin committed numerous crimes against the international working class. But one of his greatest crimes was the support he gave to the foundation of the state of Israel. Trotskyists, in contrast, have always opposed Zionism.
https://www.leftvoice.org/how-joseph-stalin-helped-create-the-state-of-israel/>>2446906Many other Arabs states did also oppose the decision. This person
>>2446891 has Stalin living rent free. Because for western "leftists" it's also easier to shift the blame on others and to take no responsibility and face no guilt for the consequences of their actions.
some examples of Arabs countries voting, in pic 2 to 4, pic 5 is the USSR reason. there's an overlap between what the USSR wanted and what the other Arabs states wanted.
>>2446922The theatrics was just a cover for the Dems having no platform though. Like Dems have apparently decided rather than fight the Reps on any of the various horrible issues affecting our society(healthcare, housing, Gaza genocide, etc) it's easier to fling insults back and forth.
Hell if they at least had Trump's willingness to break things they'd at least be believable. If Harris said she'd arrest Trump on day 1 they would've probably won the election. If Biden did it 4 years ago American politics would look very different today. Every Dem voter knows all their "owns" are completely substanceless. No matter how many times they call Trump corrupt or bring up his ties to Epstein they'll never do anything.
