>>2795922 What do midwestern milfs smell like?
>>2799000unironically I first became disgusted with capitalism not because I read karl marx, but because I came of age around the 2008 crisis, and it was around that time I also became familiar with concepts not even from marx like planned obsolesence, artificial scarcity, etc. I learned companies destroy oversupplied commodities instead of giving them away to "stabilize prices" it was then that I expressed my disgust with our current economic system, got called a "marxist" by angry libs/conservatives, and that was what prompted me to look into "this marx guy." You can go back to headlines from 2008 claiming marx was being googled at triple the rate compared to previous years. maybe the reason people become marxists isn't dogmatic worship of marx, but because they had their own ideas about capitalism which were accused of "marxist dogmatism" which made them curious. That's how it happened to me and I suspect millions of others. This is without me even knowing what communism was other than through cartoonish caricatures like zangief.
>>2799012Yep and he wasn't even on the same floor as Trump.
This was either a false flag or the worst assassination attempt of all time.
>>2799009What is up with the talks of midwestern milfs.
Also, it’s International Workers' Day
>>2798936 >>2799009cobbed corn and miller lite
Reminder if you’re “striking” today all you’re doing is showing solidarity with the left wing of Nazism as they protest against the lack of efficient genocide
>>2799031mel gibson is very good at reactionary propaganda, I have to give him that. skilled at his craft. apocalypto is riveting and basically mesoamerican rambo 1
>>2799009old people in general smell bad
>>2799014me too, and I also turned 18 in 2007 so it was just perfect to be radicalized by the sheer lack of empathy among the bourgeois for us. I mean I had read some Marx in high school but it didn't radicalize me since the things he discussed were entirely within the context of the time period he lived in which is so far removed from me. what radicalized me was actually seeing the suffering and injustice in the world during that financial crisis, and realizing it's all linked to money, and the bourgeois carefully distribute suffering downwards so they don't have to feel any kind of inconvenience even during hard times, while the poor have suffer multitudes more to make up for the CEO raising his own salary to avoid adjusting his excessive lifestyle amid a economic collapse. like just experiencing real life is enough to radicalize most people if they just don't watch network news or engage with electoral distractions at all tbh. then you add in the amount of injustice that goes on from rich nations terrorizing poor nations and the amount of human life lost to capitalist greed and i have a very easy time radicalizing any illiterate bum I come across by just pointing directly to real world modern day examples of what's going on.
>>2799028Sorry but my immediate material interests are my wage and my labour not some middle eastern people.
>>2799046>>2799044Ok
Today I will demand for higher wages and less working hours

>>2799108You should burn ballot boxes like the Sendero Luminoso
My generationality can be boiled down to this
Boomers: Mostly into following the pact leader whether lib or con
Gen Xers: Consumerists of the highest order, generally likes mainstream stuff from their era.
Millennials: Hipsters to some degree, even the most funco pop collecting sorts will scoff at someone who's taste is too mainstream
Zoomers: Obsessed with bigger numbers in some fashion, only into things that have the most "Aura" and presence. Generally unimpressed with mundanity
It’s boomers and then everyone else, boomers are the only generation, only they were able to accrue move between classes off the wealth of the postwar boom
>>2799113genpol is reactionary but also I agree with most of your observations as a millennialchad. we're somehow simultaneously the most hipster and the most "I am cringe and I am free" dweebs.
>>2799120Marketing slop based on actual material reality of WWII and the postwar boom, it becomes less real every year, along with the concept of the teenager
>>2799123To be fair, fear of cringe is fear of genuine authenticity, it’s also rational as one embarrassing moment can be immortalized forever instead of slowly forgotten or moved away from.
There's only two generations, the lead poisoning generation and the post-lead poisoning generation.
>>2799127I think Millennials' appreciation for being cringe comes from seeking authenticity sandwiched between the narcissism of boomers, the greedy consumerism of Gen X, and the general social media brainrot and fear of being ridiculed in Zoomers. We may have no economic hope and be even poorer than Zoomers but at least we are free.
>>2799129Adding onto your post but I think that Gen Alpha is poised to be even more nihilistic but also less vain that Zoomers are. They are going to be too stupid to care that much about what other people think of them, but they will also have gruggy media tastes.
>>2799132Their brains are gonna be completely warped by AI slop, it will be as bad as lead was for boomers if not worse.
>>2799132/r/teachers is a goldmine of gen alpha shitposts
>chud goy clique make the foids shakelmao
one observation I've had is every successive generation after the popularization of streaming has even worse streamer role models. for millennials it was harmless ragebaiters/lolwcows like Athene and Idra, for Zoomers it was racist chuds/scammers like xqc and Asmongoy, and now we're all the way at Gen Alpha worshiping fucking Clavicular and random irl streamers that just make a career out of harassing people/getting arrested/crashing expensive cars on public roads. pretty bleak and I'm morbidly curious how Gen Beta(male) will top this.
Is it schizo of me to just not believe in FBI crime statistics at all?
Happy May Day everyone! Hope you're all doing alright!
>>2799143Not at all.
Especially considering that it's derived from local police data and they make shit up all the time.

>>2799177>if he has 1000+ karma he obviously has a post history. Reddit just isn't showing itmaybe he just karma farms with fake stories and deletes them afterwards so nobody can scrutinize the inconsistencies
>>2799143also even if they're true it doesn't support the conclusions that people usually use them to draw. there are hidden assumptions and leaps in reasoning people add to them
>>2799170I just genuinely think it's a funny post, I don't even think it's real myself it's just funny.
>>2799172good detective work I'm sure it was really posted(but not something that actually happened) but just deleted because these karma farm bots post lots of ragebaity content on random subs and then delete their history so they can be sold to influence campaigns since higher karma accounts have more influence. For whatever reason deleting your reddit comment history doesn't delete the karma accrued from those comments so it's a very effective way to monetize the system. Curious…
>>2799163>houdini's personal patreon now makes more per month than leftypol the websiteno wonder moderators are unmotivated

>>2799192also those randomly generated 2 word+numbers names that you see pop up all over normie social media isn't necessarily indicative of a bot, it's an option to "create" a username for you I'm not sure if it's tied to the smartphone app or what but lots of people do it for throwaway accounts and they all fit the same format. If you've ever played young people online games they also all have these randomly generated names for new accounts iirc.
my first experience with it was on the Nintendo Switch where upon logging into the online service for the first time it'd generate you a random name and you basically have to opt-in to use your own name.

>When the United States decreed an embargo against Cuba in 1960 and 1962, its Latin American and European allies followed suit, however, Francisco Franco did not place an embargo on Cuba. American pressure against the Spanish embargo breach was deflected by the renegotiation of the American military bases in Spain in 1963. After Franco's death, Cuba decreed three days of mourning
i dont want to hear bitching about China's trading partners ever again
>>2799215there's links in the OP that keep really in depth status on this stuff
>>2799171>>2799182Reddit is a sketchy and heavily propagandized place.
>>2799245yes, that's why the stupid screenshot posted 4 times in the last 4 days shouldn't be taken at face value
>>2799230Pretty sure Fidel’s dad and a lot of his mentors growing up were Falangists, too.
That aside I can’t understand how that would be justification for anyone not to support Cuba if America tries conquering it
>>2799103it's so funny the sectarian division on the US, that pulls thing like
>we like only the nazis that like us>we hate only the nazis that hate uswhile at the same time both party are having nazis in their organizations, which makes the two parties indivisible.
and no one thinks for a second:
<HMMMMMMM FUCKING THING IT'S INSANE THAT SHIT IS HAPPENING. >>2799268Of course it's Staten Island
>>2799267i see… so chuds are trying to smuggle in their stupid lingo through pop culture, thinking they'll smuggle their politics along with the lingo. but they'll realize after 5 or so years that they'll just create a bunch of apolitical lumpen who say silly things that they don't actually mean.
>>2799275we know, it's basically public knowledge that every US politician is engaging in insider trading and that the Trump admin in particular is openly manipulating the markets.
>>2799305Not saying it will happen, but if the US working class ever did overthrow their bourgeoisie, where would they flee to? What would be their Taiwan?
>>2799307previously I would have said one of the Gulf States but given the Iran situation that might be less likely, so possibly some South American puppet state shithole like Argentina. though I also don't think there is any possible timeline where the US has a revolution that unilaterally overthrows its federal govt, because the political reality of the United States has especially over the past decade become more like a bunch of smaller countries that are nominally individual states that are part of a union. if any organized revolutionary left forms in the US, the bourgeoisie would most likely flee to the south where they're already trying to turn it into basically a slave labor prison colony/child trafficking zone.

>>2799006>It's less work to bring up a quote than explain it in your own words. I do agree that a lot of Marxists don't think for themselves much thoughpersonally if I wrote my own version of capital, I would start with subsistence and labor, rather than commodities. But really that's more of a choice of how to structure the exposition than a difference in conclusion.

>>2799406Its obvious. These Democrats support blue MAGA Jim crow gerrymandering like in virgina.

>>2799452>Another pillar of the strategy is the cultural battle waged from evangelical churches.

>>2799503Are you even American? Why do you want us to suffer 4 more years of Republitard rule? You yourself accept that US foreign policy is the same regardless of which party is in power. So why not let us choose the less insane party? Some of the best years of my life happened in the Obama years and then under Biden.
>>2799503I mean why would people support idiots who want their lives to get worse in place of the people saying they deserve better?
>>2799504fuck that h8er. let's go vote for graham platner!
>>2799505it's genius how the political environment in the USA is setup. such populist messaging must come from outside the establishment of the democratic party and once it gets enough momentum to capture the votes, they are absorbed into it and redirected towards perpetuating the misery.
>>2799504I understand Obama, but Biden, really? Things never have been the same since 2020, and not in a good way.

>>2799513You’re basing that entirely on vibes.
>>2799509Any populist alternative that’s left wing in the U.S. would be a kind of vulgar social democracy at present. The idea that you’d have a radical socialist populist party with the current configuration of the socialist movement out here is a pipe dream.

>>2799520>Any populist alternative that’s left wing in the U.S. would be a kind of vulgar social democracy at present.indeed. that's the genius of it. and because it's a vulgar social democratic movement it is easily subsumed into the democratic party. where those young (under 40 years old) idealistic "radicals" are worn down by the stagnant immutable machine of USA politics and conclude that they must be pragmatic and compromise so they start giving up their progressive positions for small games that get rolled back you know the rest

“I don’t think [Barack] Obama could pass it,” he said. “[Joe] Biden? Give me a break. You know, the first question’s very easy. It’s a lion, a giraffe, a bear, and a shark. They say, ‘Which one is the bear?’ And everybody says ohhh – 30 questions. Very standard, very standard test, but very tough around those last 10 questions.”
The politician then claimed results of the test caused a physician to call him “a mad genius.”
Trump continued to explain how his the exam went down, saying the questions were "tough" to crack.
“They say, ‘Take a number, any number.’ Ok, I’ll take 99. ‘Multiply times nine.’ Ok. ‘Divide it by three.’ Good. ‘Add 4,293.’ That’s good. ‘Divide by two. Subtract 93. Divide by 9. What is your answer?’ Now, they go a little slower than that, but not much," the businessman noted.
"I don’t want to waste a lot of time. But there weren’t a lot of people that get it right. I got it right, you know? It was actually longer and more complex than that. But no, it’s a tough test, so I took it. And then everyone said, ‘All right, good. He’s smart,'" he boasted.

>>2800169No, it was party dues.
socialist revolution in usa by 2027?
>>2800173It was Lenin's mom dying and getting a huge inheritance
>>2799924And was menshevism the most wholesome and pure ideology? Remember: how something starts is not necessarily how it ends. Never lose hope.
>>2800173No, it really was bank robberies(and other illegal activites). And before anyone claims it was just Stalin, Lenin privately supported and organized these bank robberies. It was what the Bolsheviks were known for. And they were robbing the Russian state banks for money stolen from the peasantry, so it's not like they were attacking random people, it was a very targeted political act.
The Bolsheviks, and all Russian Communist/Socialist parties combined for that matter, did not have enough members to survive off party dues alone. The current DSA literally has more members than the Bolsheviks + Mensheviks combined before the revolution.
>>2800180I'm not gonna watch that take on the Bolsheviks tbh I don't trust a American social democrat's opinion on violent class struggle when they're raised from birth to be pacifist goycattle, but most of what you say is true.
>It is very tempting to think a day in the life of a Bolshevik was one Red-Dead-Redemption mission after another, and as "epic" as that would be, it wasn't the case.I think it's actually pretty accurate to say the Bolsheviks' activities were more comparable to a gang than a "political party" in the way Americans see them. They engaged in a lot of illegal activities, not just robberies, and were always "in the streets" so to speak engaging in work to advance the interests of the party beyond debating and distributing newspapers. They organized workers riots, engaged in arms smuggling, quite a few assassinations, and were generally very violent and willing to use whatever means to achieve their goals, which is what allowed them to outmaneuver the Mensheviks and other social democrats.
That is all to say, I think discounting violence and robbery as a means of praxis is just idealism. Adventurism should be avoided if it's for its own sake, but if there's no better way or there's an opportunity for it that could reap huge (direct) rewards, by all means we should encourage it.
>>2800186>I'm not gonna watch that take on the Bolsheviks tbh It's just a work Lenin wrote read as an audiobook
>I don't trust a American social democrat's opinion on violent class struggle when they're raised from birth to be pacifist goycattleYou seem proudly ignorant. The channel is Marxist-Leninist, anti-revisionist, and regularly uploads works condemning social democracy. You're operating entirely on vibes and not even reading before responding. I will put less effort into my replies now.
>>2800187Sorry I should've given it more of a chance then, I basically never engage with podcasts/audiobooks because I need visual stimuli. I should be less quick to jump to conclusions.
>>2800190>I need visual stimuli.look at my proletariat dawg
we are never getting communist revolution
>>2800192text is itself visual stimuli tho. it's really hard to just listen to something and not be distracted by whatever's directly in front of your face.
I know some people love podcats because it allows them to multitask but I can never pay attention while I'm focusing on what I'm doing.
>>2800186The work attached in the post was an audiobook of Lenin explaining the role of legal and illegal activity in the party, speaking out against both "otzovists" who thought criminal activity should be primary, as well as against "liquidators" who thought that illegal activity should be abandoned entirely. Lenin spoke out against both these extreme positions in the party, arguing that a diversity of strategy was key to success.
>They engaged in a lot of illegal activities, not just robberies, and were always "in the streets" so to speakthat's what I said in the part of my post which was not quoted.
I am not sure whether you are different anon who has not had the time to read the entire conversation, or if you are the same anon who is changing tone to agree with my position, which was not quoted.
Anon's (your?) original claim was that "bank robberies were their primary means of funding their activities up until the revolution."
My response was that they did a lot of illegal activities, including the occasional bank robbery, but bank robberies were nowhere near "the primary means" of funding "up until the revolution." Bank robberies are high risk, and have a high failure rate, even back then. The most famous instance of a proven bolshevik bank robbery is the Tiflis robbery in 1907. That succeeded, but ultimately didn't matter because they couldn't use the bills. Smaller and more frequent low-risk illegal activities were more common. As the other anon said party dues were their primary funding, but whether there party dues came primarily from the wages of members, or from the illegal activities of members is probably not possible to know, because nobody keeps statistics on their own illegal activities for reasons I should not have to explain.
>>2799533Projection. democrats are reformed slaveowner party. You are anti-Mao. You are fascist
>>2800190>Sorry I should've given it more of a chance then, I basically never engage with podcasts/audiobooks because I need visual stimuli. I should be less quick to jump to conclusions.Thanks for the humility anon. It is quite alright. It is very rare someone apologizes on here, so thank you for that. It's a good work, relatively short, and the description contains the link to the original text if the audiobook is a bit hard to listen to or distracting. Just know Lenin argued against both pure-illegal and pure-legal acitivty. He said a mixture of both was necessary. It is difficult to know the exact ratio of legal-to-illegal activity in the bolsheviks. it changed probably a lot between 1903 when the bolsheviks and mensheviks first split, and 1917 when they were in a brief coalition government after the february revolution, but before the october revolution.
>>2800196Another thing: a lot of the bourgeoisie also funded bolsheviks as a gamble. Parvus is an example, but there are others. And also, there was a tradition from the pre-bolshevik times where the pauperized aristocracy funded revolutionaries like the narodniks, and most certainly up until the 1900s there was a sizeable number of them also funding the bolsheviks.

Like it's fucking stupid. It's not gonna break bank for Hasan if he gets a first class ticket, it would for me (this is prior to the Iran debacle apparently raising the cost of airplane tickets?) so if you can afford it, just take it. Don't take up more space in business for "solidarity".
>>2800220how would it destroy his career? it's just giving him more attention. isn't he under the same management company as asmongold? this is all a psyop and hasan is a faggot grifter using socialism as a gimmick.

>>2800232No worries man, I realize I've got a weird way of talking. As silly as this sounds, when I was a kid I'd get accused of lying if I forgot something or was imprecise with my words (once had my dad claim I was saying I shoved someone when I started a conversation with "Guess who I ran into today?") so I tend to overcompensate with a lot of qualifiers and hedges when I talk.
Sorry if it's annoying you.

>>2800237no one will know you're in first class when they hijack the plane unless they're specifically targeting you. they lock the doors of every cabin when the plane is about to take off so they can minimize the casualties of hijackings to just the poor people caught in the crossfire when US marshalls blast the hijackers. also we haven't had a plane hijacking in like 20 years in the US, it's not even relevant to the conversation lol.
what a retarded discussion
>>2800246I mean we started talking about forbidden topics like the inner workings of a communist party and had to talk about more appropriate topics like bourgeois talking heads.

>>2800257>Hinckley was released from institutional psychiatric care on September 10, 2016, with many conditions—including that he was required to live full-time at his mother's home in Williamsburg, Virginia, to work at least three days a week and record his browser history.[71] He was also prohibited from a variety of activities, including contacting the Reagan, Brady, or Foster families; watching or listening to violent media; accessing pornography; and speaking to the pressthey won't even let the old man goon

>>2800267One of the funniest (purely hypothetical) scenarios I imagined is that, if Trump does end up assassinated, it’s Chris Chan that does it. I think that’d just be the funniest event in American history. Just the perfect capstone to this absurd period of American life.
>>2800271distractions are circuses, and circuses only work as long as there is bread to go with them. take away the bread, and the circuses stop being a distraction from society's deteriorating condition and instead become a mockery of the miserable whose condition has already deteriorated beyond what is sustainable. My goal here is not to defend the culture of celebrities and distractions, but to merely remind you that people, against all better judgement, will on average continue to be distracted by such nonsense until a time comes when they can ignore misery no longer.

>>2800275If that were true people wouldn’t drink and drug themselves to death but they do, circuses are more powerful than bread
>>2800274if Chris-Chan assassinates Trump they'll air the entire 100 part Chris-Chan documentary on CNN nonstop for months and you'll have your grandparents asking you what a Sonichu is.
>>2800278>>2800278"the ruthless criticism of all that exists" often butts heads with "the real movement to abolish the present state of things," despite both phrases originating in the mind of Marx. This is why Lenin fought against both Otzovism and Liquidationism. You have to do illegal activity and labor militancy while also accepting your "wins" however fleeting and flawed they are, within the realm of actually existing legal bourgeois politics.
>>2800276>>2800277>>2800283If Trump is enough of a baby to go after people saying "86 47" he could think Chris Chan is legitimately threatening to kill him.
I know Fox tried to stitch Chris Chan up as a "prominent transgender activist" after the incident with his mom.
>>2800282>circuses are more powerful than breadyou repeat your original thesis in a new form but my thesis already contains your thesis but with added nuance: Circuses are more powerful than bread
until bread runs out. And it will run out because circuses are expensive, and America has deprioritized its own capacity for production in the name of financialization.
>>2800289That’s why they’re legalizing drugs, no one cares if they’re starving if they’re on coke and meth

>>2800297It’s a slippery slope, we mostly have legal weed now and trump signed off on medical psychedelics, the tobacco and alcohol industries are pushing back on the hemp industry but we’ll see. Casual cocaine use is around already if you work blue collar.
>>2800301>trump signed off on medical psychedelicsBased?
>>2800302For veterans, you get ibogaine trip if you’re sad about killing children, the psychedelics allow you to remove your ego from the situation and realize no lives matter, the universe put that bullet through that child. Their cries like dust in the wind.
>>2800301> Casual cocaine use is around already if you work blue collar.I have worked with blue collar and white collar cokeheads and they are usually unpleasant class traitors. Note my careful language, to those readers who may be exceptions to this rule: I do not tend to say "Always" or "Never" when I am being careful in my formulation of an analysis. Coke users often use coke to work faster and harder, as a performance enhancement drug, so that others are held to the same unsustainable standard as they. A man on cocaine might break a strike so he can continue to afford coke, and he tends to reject slowdowns, because it is not in his nature to slow down, even in solidarity with others. And he might agree to the lengthening of the working day even when his coworkers find such terms disagreeable.
>>2800301As for psychedelics… they are harmless compared to depressants and stimulants, especially opioids, alcohol, cocaine, etc.
>>2800304we need psychedelics for veterans of the class struggle. no more tears, only historical necessity now
>>2800301Yeah a ton of my coworkers either currently do coke or have done it in the past, no big shock there.
>>2800301Bullshit. You speak addlepated lumpen conspiracies. people war against narcotic is imperative for socialism. imperialist drug lord planter bourgeoisie are modern day slaver owners. Tobacco alcohol industries invest billions in narcotic cannabis. Alcohol industries invest in illicit narcotic cannabis infusions. Communist Party of China consider legalization of narcotics as crime against humanity. See section 3
