imperialism isn't about economics. it's about society.
Westoid "people" come to the Global South pillage. How hard is that to understand? They aren't your friends, they aren't your allies, they are your blood enemies. Think of it like humans vs. orcs.
oh so now blood and soil matters?

He’s not even wrong. Life is an eternal racial holy war over land, resources, women and food. There will be no Kumbaya moment of the international proletariat uniting to overthrow the trans national bourgeoisie. Sorry.
Stale Copy-Pasta, human vs orcs is a /pol/tard meme

we're alive. they even managed to restore the threads. mashallah.
I think people are going to start to realize this sooner of later

there is no good or bad, only material interests, the muslim immigrant getting benefits for his family of five in france is fighting the class war as much as the tech/finance bro making bank off the death of labour.
>>2743416>capitalism doesn't benefit anyonesure, one guy gets all the resources he desires for no work while another works 10+ hours a day of hard physical labour and earns enough to pay for shit food, shit healthcare and shit living conditions, there is no one benefitting here.
I want you to think about something, picture this in your mind, visualize it.
there is a guy RIGHT NOW drinking champagne and getting a blowjob from a model, in a penthouse, he hasn't put a day of work in his entire life, he is healthy, he hasn't inhalled evil chemicals from a factory, he has never carries a bag of cement, no boss has ever mistreated him.
there is also another guy RIGHT NOW who got his entire family blown up by a missile, he lost an arm, he spent his whole life working to merely survive, he never drank champagne, he never ate caviar, he never went to a 5 star hotel or spa, he never got to experience prime insta model pussy.
now tell me no one benefits.
>>2743533The real tragedy is that it isn't you the one whose family is being turned into mist by a missile.
>>2743539you are just mad because the truth is too hard to bear.
you can't cope with the fact you got the short end of the stick in life and you can't do shit about it.
>>2743549
it's a sliding scale dummy, the fact is that if you work in an office with ac by doing spreadsheets you are closer to the ruling class than the actual working class (most living in the third world)
>>2743556There are still factory and construction workers in america, they’re just as far from the “real” working class as the cast of Office Space
>>2741235nope imperialism is about extraterritorial expansion due to the falling rate of profit under monopoly conditions of technology saturation
>>2743572
Most workers have bullshit jobs anyway
The working class of Germany didn’t overthrow the Nazis, the Red Army did, Marx’s whole theory is bunk
>>2743582
Privilege doesn’t actually feel better than strife, privilege, it’s lack of friction, and it’s maintenance create anxieties and complexes that need near constant ironing out in the forms of drugs, meditation, “mindfulness”, fad diets.
>>2743601
The issue with third worldism is the third world proles are just as backwards and incapable of revolution as the first world is. Don’t tell me you actually think the elections of Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales, or of the JVP in Sri Lanka actively constitute proletarian revolution.
>>2743622
US and capital interests did the same with Hitler and Noriega after years of propping them up
>>2743635
And it’s the dream of every third worldist for their nation to become the new America
>>2743644
nah, I like muh panarchy better

The last time the world was multipolar it resulted in WWI, so no, I don’t believe in geopolitics or “balance of power” or any of that ivory tower nonsense

> A more equal place
Irrelevant liberal drivel
>>2743533made up green text to refute award
>>2743533anon said capitalism benefits the bourgeoisie in the short term but guarantees their destruction in the long term which is literally what marx says. capitalism produces its own gravediggers.
>>2743850Marx assumed that the next mode of production after capitalism would be socialism, that capitalism would lay the groundwork for worker control, reality has repeatedly shown the opposite, that revolution only happens in semi feudal and colonial conditions

>>2743644<The last time the world was multipolar it resulted in WWI, so no, I don’t believe in geopolitics or “balance of power” or any of that ivory tower nonsenseSynthesis:
Multipolarity resulted in WW1 but it also resulted in the october revolution. WW1 was the death knell of the Russian empire, WW3 will be the death knell of the American empire. Multipolarity results in conflict because in the absence of a hegemon, countries scramble to become the new one, rather than be subjugated. This is the power vacuum effect. However at the same time a world with a hegemon stagnates for a long time and conflict is put at bay, at the expense of everyone being subjugated by the hegemon. The next hegemon might be an "AES" hegemon like China instead of a 250 year old bourgeois hegemon like America.
>>2743862Old theses that seem to be abandoned sometimes get resurrected and proven correct. Ancient Greek philosophers proposed heliocentrism (Aristarchus of Samos) and atoms (Democritus) but these weren't proven experimentally until much later. Marx (I'm parapharsing) said a mode of production never disappears until the forces of production for which it is necessary have sufficiently developed. Capitalism has put forward new things Marx couldn't predict, but the things he did predict might still happen alter.
>>2743905>might still happen alter.*later
>>2743905There are no semi feudal semi colonial countries today outside of maybe the Democratic Republic of Congo (and even then it’s mostly Kivu), even Palestine isn’t semi feudal even if they are indeed dealing with settler colonialism
>>2743911>There are no semi feudal semi colonial countries today outside of maybe the Democratic Republic of Congo (and even then it’s mostly Kivu), even Palestine isn’t semi feudal even if they are indeed dealing with settler colonialismok but I don't think semi feudal status matters. take it up with
>>2743862 >>2743905Yes. History has shown that uni-imperialism (i.e pax amerikana) does not unite the proles, it only unites the bourgeoisies. It does not strenghthen the communist resistance, it desintegrates this. In this sense, american imperialist unipolarity is the highest form of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.
Which is why the first step of all revolutionaries is to be for multipolarity. The moronic westoid """leftist"""" will remark how multipolarity is not communim. Of course, people with brains never believe multipolarity itself to be communism. It merely moves history beyond american unipolarity, and thus is the first step in the general direction of a potential communism. It gives a more fertile ground for communism. Whether the seeds of communism will actually grow in that fertile ground, that depends on the competence of communists.
But of course, the westoid """leftist"""" prefers to be a smug moron.
>>2744006exactly comrade, we have entered into a new phase of imperialism and giga-imperialism or ultra-imperialism if you will
>>2744006>Which is why the first step of all revolutionaries is to be for multipolarity.Retarded, I am not engaging in class collaboration with 3rd world porkies lol
>>2744509White people didn't passively replace the natives, they intentionally and systemically genocided them.
Not only that, white people did that not by living inside native peoples societies, but by forming colonial enclaves
>>2741255Morons mistaking cause for effect again.
Fantasy is itself an expression of colonialist & imperialist ideology, not the other way around
>>2744538Depends on the fantasy, sure that’s true of Howard, Tolkein, and Jack Vance, but try reading any of the Earthsea books and tell me with a straight face they’re colonialist
>>2744617Shouldve said "fantasy genre tropes" for clarity, yeah
>>2744509>conflating deliberate settler colonialism with immigration caused by imperialismreactionary
>>2745014he is right tho, but it's actually good and justified to pillage the west if you are a third worlder, mexicans flooding the USA is a heroic crusade if you think about it.
