This is TRUE internationalism 🤝

Iranians are either deluded or lying to themselves if they think the average American people are any better than their government and what it does

And why is it always trained off Forgiato Blow or Tom Macdonald? Pick other rappers

>>2794366
Does that include you? Are you a war criminal?

>>2794367
give me the pro-iran lil ugly mane AI white boy rap

we're talking about some fagola who isn't even honest about going to a town council to yell at DSA peoplewhy should i take anything this idiot says seriously

>>2794368
By virtue of paying my taxes and participating in this economy, yes, I accept my death sentence whenever it is dolled out, no I will not kill myself, that’s avoiding justice

ANARCHIST-BORDIGA ARMCHAIR ALLIANCE ANNOUNCE US GENERAL STRIKE AND GENERAL MOBILIZATION OF ACTIVISTS

1994 Barry Goldwater:
>Republicans are selling their soul to win elections. Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won't work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.
Both parties getting more extreme is laying the groundwork for foreign wars and eventually a civil war

>>2794369
He hasn’t even rapped since he got off heroin, they should do his alternative pop stuff

>>2794352
Anon, that is not a novel observation, trade union betrayal of communist movement has been a big issue in marxist theory since end of WW2 (and discussed even before that, I vaguely remember some Lenin text touching upon the topic).

>>2794363
It is more complicated than that, people who have nothing are by their circumstances forced to prioritize short term gains, they are not the most revolutionary subjects.
Also people seem to forget that Marx deals in terms of relative deprivation, i.e. deprived relatively to expected standard of given society.

>>2794375
he needs to get back on the opiates tbh

>>2794374
You need a population with a young average age for civil war and people that know their neighbors and live in communities, amerikkka has NONEOFTHAT

>>2794372
you need to stop being silly
we the people must unite against our rulers instead of imagining ourselves in the positions of the ruling class

>>2794379
We literally are the ruling class of the rest of the world, any revolution that doesn’t end in our total death is doomed

>>2794378
>nostradamus thinks his crystal ball tells the future
Russia had a civil war with all the soldiers on the front lines fighting germany so not really

>>2794380
lol okay fag

>>2794382
Russia never had the whole world by the balls in finance or oil, America did until last month

>>2794376
So Marx was fundamentally wrong, glad we’re on the same page

>>2794380
marxists: class is defined by ownership of the means of production
maoists: class is defined by how many treats you can consume

>>2794386
engloids export more financial services than america does

>>2794389
It’s called Primary contradiction and Marx was too much of a drubk occidental to understand it

>>2794391
The EU and UK are not separate entities from the US

>>2794393
>im engloid i have no agency or ambition im merely a tool im NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ETHNICALLY CLEANSING CHAGOS REEEEE

>>2794394
Only capital has any agency, it will cause human extinction and in the end this will be progressive

>>2794389
What part of “nothing to lose but their chains” don’t you get? Every American has way more to lose than their chains, including the homeless with their drugs

>>2794401
by this metric nobody is prole

File: 1777305770624.png (634.12 KB, 779x643, The Real Proles.png)

This was supposed to be a joke but people are taking it seriously

>>2794406
Correct, imperialism is the primary contradiction and determiner of class relations, not ownership, not wages

>>2794407
Why would someone with a car in a unionized service job ever take up arms against the government?

I hope the shooter being an IDF pedo makes amerikkkans even more hostile towards israel

>>2794414
What good does any american attitude do?

>>2794415
Funny posts

>>2794411
>>2794409
if marx is wrong then why should i care about slogans of "nothing to lose" and judge on that? what's the analyzed metric/

>>2794418
We’re looking for a revolutionary subject that isn’t capital itself assuming our extinction isn’t progressive

Ignore demoralizers
Report demoralizers
Roundhouse kick demoralizers
Behead demoralizers

Friday begins the general strike, I hope my fellow Americans browsing this thread are going to participate

>>2794419
But why? if marx is totally completely fundamentally comprehensively wrong on the most basica levels of his analysis then why should I even accept the premise of a "revolutionary subject"?

>>2794388
Not really, the fundamental mechanisms he uncovered are very much present. As capitalism progresses the ability to provide sufficient standard of living to placate working class diminishes.

>>2794418
It needs to be pointed out "nothing to lose but your chains" is a phrase from a quickly slapped together pamphlet written in 1840s.

>>2794424
It also atomizes workers and destroys their communities and you can’t have a revolution or a civil war if you don’t even know your neighbors

You’re not gonna have a revolution with individual neoliberal subjects with thousands of hours of distractions

>>2794374
Pretty insane Barry Goldwater was the one saying this because he was the Arch-duke of extreme conservatism. Guess he was worried the god shit would take precedent over the racism. We'll Barry im happy to report you got both

>>2794427
>you can’t have a revolution or a civil war if you don’t even know your neighbors
Why not? I am not an expert on the topic, but those are organized on the level of political organisations, not homeowners associations.

>>2794432
Most americans are not participating in any way at any level because neoliberalism is anti social and anri community, it brainwashes you into not liking being around other people

Just put in your headphones, look down, and go to work, you don’t even like people, yet you want them governing the system? You want more input so it’s more convenient for you at the expense of someone else?

normies are my god

>>2794435
The problem with american politics is institutional, not individual. There clearly is energy and desire for change among the masses (doesnt have to be majority, just big enough minority), but there is no organisation that could direct it.
Also I think you are overrestimating how alienated individuals are, they might not know their literal neighbours, but they do know other people living in their area.

there's plenty of 'community' in america but 90% of it is centered around raising kids and going to church

File: 1777307292668.jpg (64.5 KB, 750x1000, pipimi2.jpg)

>>2794411
Why wouldn't they?

If you look at history, it isn't the most oppressed and immiserated that generally start revolutions. It's people dissatisfied with the system who have the material and organizational wherewithal to take arms against that system.

It wasn't Rome's innumerable slaves that overthrew the Empire, it was the free Germanic tribes. It wasn't the poorest ranks of the French peasantry that started the French Revolution, but rather its bourgeoisie and even many members of its nobility and clergy.

Even Marx commented on this.
>The first blow dealt to the French monarchy proceeded from the nobility, not from the peasants. The Indian revolt does not commence with the Ryots, tortured, dishonored and stripped naked by the British, but with the Sepoys, clad, fed, petted, fatted and pampered by them.

>>2794442
The institutions are derrived from the mass of individuals, if they waned actual change, they would force it, they don’t so they won’t because they’re convinced the status quo is the best possible world and the only possible world thanks to chauvinist education
