/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

I rate this 3/10

"we" dont need "new" "theories", generalize existing discontent but thatd require you to interact with the proletariat and distinguish the proletariat from other classes lmfao

communism preceded marx, and even marxs critique isnt some blueprint for how communism will look. you need to actually read marx and engels shit to really understand what communism means within marxist theory

Marx already figured it out

There's several left intellectuals doing this but their conclusions are all extremely bleak. Either that or their ways forward are very weak and end up feeling dated after a few years when whatever social movement they were observing peters out or gets coopted.

It's much less depressing to retreat into fandom and the Leninist/socdem delusion of movement politics.

dont need new theories 'what is to be done' is still valid people just dont want to/have to do everything else first/learn the hard way

<i havent read these works, so they don't exist
Fuck you, and fuck the other repliers who accepted your nonsense premise.

Leftypol is the angel of history . Looking backwards while moving forward. The theory of the now is all junk from the 1917 revolution that doesn’t meet the moment . The left right now looks like an outdated relic in the dustbin of history . There’s no current Marxist or communist theorist meeting the moment . Not badiou not Reza Negarestani not zizek all
Of then are already way outdated in 2026 speculative realism was cowardice that also now seems dated . The lefts fear of being cancelled makes it impossible to meet a
Challenge

What theory? People are so atomized that they stay rotting in their rooms while staring at their screens and discuss 5 hour analysis videos of the buttcheek hair density of Gorden Freeman in HL2, you need to wait until 2050 if you want to see class politics emerge again.

The way I see it, no leftists can seem to agree what Marx, Lenin, or any of them meant about anything. It's very much like Christianity. All supposed followers of the prophet Christ but they all somehow took away completely different things from his words. Also like with Christianity, you're trying to supposedly get people to read your book but it always has to be accompanied with:
>Yeah, you won't get the story unless you have a good understanding of life in first century Roman Judaica.

If there was any clear logic or understanding to be found in those books, you could just present it as separate from the minutiae of the historical situation of that time. Like if in every scientific discipline, you could only learn the theory by learning all the trivia of every one of the scientists lives, no one would get anywhere. Idol worship is a curse. If there is some universal truth there, it really has no connection to the individual who discovered it, because it's a universal truth, so someone would always have discovered it. Their personality and ego have nothing to do with an accurate description of objective reality.

I'm partial to the automation imperative myself. I feel like it's a line of logic most normies can follow, and it's an easy answer to present conditions:
>robots and AI are talking all your jobs
>wouldn't it be great if they could do that and you still had a decent living?
>ergo we need a system where you don't need to work to survive, leaving us free to automate all work out of existence

Well, I could take a crack at it.

What's an aspect that you think existing theories are lacking at? Even if it's only marginally significant I might be able to cobble something and throw it on neocities.

because the left composes 4 core groups, none of which is seriously committed to political change:
cool but functionally apolitical people (90% of online leftists)
intellectual masturbators who want to compete to have the best understanding of leftist orthodoxy.
losers who LARP as intellectual masturbators but don't actually read, they just drink whatever vomit they can find.
actual cult members who sell newspapers.

moreover, most of the theory the left is desperately short of isn't leftist as such. there are plenty of left-wing economic theories out there, what's lacking is a leftist who'll seriously sit down and read a textbook on organization management and then build a serious organization capable of achieving its goals. (which will, in all likelihood, be to help train and prepare people for a better organization by having them do some leftist-adjacent task. if you want to build a revolution, start by finding a way to get these useless fuckers to sell lemonade successfully…)

but that's actual work, miserable thankless work. nobody wants that. more pragmatic life advice is to try your best to be in group 1. commission your fursona in a north korean uniform kicking kirkified Gregory Bovino in the nuts and get banned from furaffinity until you censor it. that's praxis. that's funny. everything else is shit and boring and oh god i've wasted my life reading so much boring shit only to realize it'll never come to anything because i'm the only person who took this massive joke seriously please don't subject yourself to this fate

They are severe lack of yuri in any of the existing theories.

More big titties.

Yes there is revolutionary theory! Marxism is a science that is always being updated. That is what Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is.
