>>2861704 >>2862984Stop asking me stupid questions and read the books. Have you never worked in factory? Have you never worked in field? A service worker may clean a toilet, creating no social aggregate product and therefore no surplus-value. A retail worker may swipe a card or move a box,creating no social aggregate product and therefore no surplus-value. Industrial worker, peasant, and farm worker produce all value. The boss of the factory worker turns the line up and exploits maximum surplus-value, creating material social aggregate product and also surplus-value. Productive labour defined from standpoint of the blackwater executive, in which all labour which affords a capitalist a profit is productive, à la Smith, is correct only to the blackwater executive. Productive labour defined from the standpoint of marxism is correct for the worker. You fight fight at all costs productive labour defined from the standpoint of Marxis, calling the Genius Mao an idiot. You take the standpoint of blackwater executive, of Smith, as absolute fact and not the mere definition of productive labour FROM THE STANDPOINT OF THE CAPITALIST. Therefore you can only be wrong. This my final response. You just want to play pointless word games and ask stupid questions and ignore the wealth of knowledge i just gifted you
>>2862918>>2862916once again, you prove your ignorance of Marx. I couldnt screenshot the entire chapter, but Marx is talking about anyone who sells anything, material goods in this case, and he even simplifies this to a wage-worker who works for a merchant. Read it very slowly. You say too much dumb shit to bother correcting but I will say this to try.
Marx was critic of bourgeois political economy. What the capitalist thinker deems productive is incorrect. You restating smith and telling me blackwater mercenaries really are productive because they afford a capitalist a profit is not genius, it is moronic. What mao deems productive is correct, yet you call him the fool. The best i can do for you is refer you to passages in soviet and chinese political economic textbooks where they explicitly explain all this.
https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1885-c2/ch06.htmhttps://www.marxists.org/subject/economy/authors/pe/pe-ch15.htm>Furthermore, part of the national income is transferred, by way of payments for, what are called services, to the non-productive branches (e.g., for use of municipal services, medical aid, places of entertainment, etc.). As already pointed out, no social product is created in these branches, nor, consequently, any national income; but the capitalists who exploit the workers employed in these branches receive part of the national income created in the branches of material production. From this income the capitalists who own businesses in the non-productive branches pay the wages of their workers, meet the material outlay which they have to find (for premises, equipment, heating, etc.) and take their profit.>The aggregate social product, and therefore also the national income, are created by workers employed in the various branches of material production. This means all those branches in which material wealth is produced: industry, agriculture, building, transport, etc.https://www.bannedthought.net/USA/RCP/Books/MaoistEconomics-ShanghaiTextbook-Lotta-OCR-sm.pdf<National income is created by the laborers of the branches of material production.before you call mao an idiot and mindlessly parrot smith as if Marx and Smith, and Smith and all Marxists, had no distinguishable between lines on productive labour, please read all these books and familiarize yourself with proletarian political economy
>>2862895>>2862893You're both morons. Marx was demonstrating the absurdity of bourgeois political economy, in its thinking that any banker or blackwater mercenary who affords a shareholder a profit is productive.
<Productive and unproductive labour is here throughout conceived from the standpoint of the possessor of money, from the standpoint of the capitalist, not from that of the workman; hence the nonsense written by Ganilh, etc., who have so little understanding of the matter that they raise the question whether the labour or service or function of the prostitute, flunkey, etc., brings in returns. |303||>Smith does not deny that the servant’s labour is productive for him. Every service is productive for its seller. To swear false oaths is productive for the person who does it for cash. Forging documents is productive for anyone paid to do it. A murder is productive for a man who gets paid for doing it. The trade of sycophant, informer, toady, parasite, lickspittle, is productive for people who do not perform these “services” gratis. Hence they are “productive labourers”, producers not only of wealth but of capital. The thief, too, who pays himself—just as the law-courts and the State do —“employs his energy, uses it in a particular way, produces a result which satisfies a human need”, i.e., the need of the thief and perhaps also that of his wife and children. Consequently [he is a] productive labourer if it is merely a question of producing a “result” which satisfies a “need”, or as in the cases mentioned above, if selling his “services” is enough to make them “productive”.You morons are upholding bourgeois economy because youre imperialist parasites who seek to justify themselves.
>All those who polemise against Adam Smith on the one hand assume a superior attitude to material production, and on the other hand they attempt to justify immaterial production—or even no production, like that of lackeys—as material production. It makes absolutely no difference whether the owner of the net revenue consumes this revenue in lackeys, mistresses or pasties. But it is ludicrous to imagine that the surplus must be consumed by servants and cannot be consumed by productive labourers themselves without the value of the product going to the devil. With Malthus too we find the same view of the necessity of unproductive consumers—which necessity in fact exists when the surplus comes into the hands of idlers. and mao said teachers are bourgeois and retail workers are semi-proletarian, so youre both just flatly wrong.
>The petty bourgeoisie. Included in this category are the owner-peasants, [7] the master handicraftsmen, the lower levels of the intellectuals–students, primary and secondary school teachers, lower government functionaries, office clerks, small lawyers–and the small traders. Both because of its size and class character, this class deserves very close attention. The owner-peasants and the master handicraftsmen are both engaged in small-scale production. Although all strata of this class have the same petty-bourgeois economic status, they fall into three different sections. The first section consists of those who have some surplus money or grain, that is, those who, by manual or mental labour, earn more each year than they consume for their own support. Such people very much want to get rich and are devout worshipers of Marshal Chao; [8] while they have no illusions about amassing great fortunes, they invariably desire to climb up into the middle bourgeoisie. Their mouths water copiously when they see the respect in which those small moneybags are held. People of this sort are timid, afraid of government officials, and also a little afraid of the revolution. Since they are quite close to the middle bourgeoisie in economic status, they have a lot of faith in its propaganda and are suspicious of the revolution. This section is a minority among the petty bourgeoisie and constitutes its right-wing. The second section consists of those who in the main are economically self-supporting. They are quite different from the people in the first section; they also want to get rich, but Marshal Chao never lets them. In recent years, moreover, suffering from the oppression and exploitation of the imperialists, the warlords, the feudal landlords and the big comprador-bourgeoisie, they have become aware that the world is no longer what it was. They feel they cannot earn enough to live on by just putting in as much work as before. To make both ends meet they have to work longer hours, get up earlier, leave off later, and be doubly careful at their work. They become rather abusive, denouncing the foreigners as "foreign devils", the warlords as "robber generals" and the local tyrants and evil gentry as "the heartless rich". As for the movement against the imperialists and the warlords, they merely doubt whether it can succeed (on the ground that the foreigners and the warlords seem so powerful), hesitate to join it and prefer to be neutral, but they never oppose the revolution. This section is very numerous, making up about one-half of the petty bourgeoisie.
>The semi-proletariat. What is here called the semi-proletariat consists of five categories: (1) the overwhelming majority of the semi-owner peasants, [10] (2) the poor peasants, (3) the small handicraftsmen, (4) the shop assistants [11] and (5) the pedlars. The overwhelming majority of the semi-owner peasants together with the poor peasants constitute a very large part of the rural masses. The peasant problem is essentially their problem. The semi-owner peasants, the poor peasants and the small handicraftsmen are engaged in production on a still smaller scale than the owner-peasants and the master handicraftsmen. Although both the overwhelming majority of the semi-owner peasants and the poor peasants belong to the semi-proletariat, they may be further divided into three smaller categories, upper, middle and lower, according to their economic condition. The semi-owner peasants are worse off than the owner-peasants because every year they are short of about half the food they need, and have to make up this deficit by renting land from others, selling part of their labour power, or engaging in petty trading. In late spring and early summer when the crop is still in the blade and the old stock is consumed, they borrow at exorbitant rates of interest and buy grain at high prices; their plight is naturally harder than that of the owner-peasants who need no help from others, but they are better off than the poor peasants. For the poor peasants own no land, and receive only half the harvest or even less for their year's toil, while the semi-owner peasants, though receiving only half or less than half the harvest of land rented from others, can keep the entire crop from the land they own. The semi-owner peasants are therefore more revolutionary than the owner-peasants, but less revolutionary than the poor peasants. The poor peasants are tenant-peasants who are exploited by the landlords. They may again be divided into two categories according to their economic status. One category has comparatively adequate farm implements and some funds. Such peasants may retain half the product of their year's toil. To make up their deficit they cultivate side crops, catch fish or shrimps, raise poultry or pigs, or sell part of their labour power, and thus eke out a living, hoping in the midst of hardship and destitution to tide over the year. Thus their life is harder than that of the semi-owner peasants, but they are better off than the other category of poor peasants. They are more revolutionary than the semi-owner peasants, but less revolutionary than the other category of poor peasants. As for the latter, they have neither adequate farm implements nor funds nor enough manure, their crops are poor, and, with little left after paying rent, they have even greater need to sell part of their labour power. In hard times they piteously beg help from relatives and friends, borrowing a few tou or sheng of grain to last them a few days, and their debts pile up like loads on the backs of oxen. They are the worst off among the peasants and are highly receptive to revolutionary propaganda. The small handicraftsmen are called semi-proletarians because, though they own some simple means of production and moreover are self-employed, they too are often forced to sell part of their labour power and are somewhat similar to the poor peasants in economic status. They feel the constant pinch of poverty and dread of unemployment, because of heavy family burdens and the gap between their earnings and the cost of living; in this respect too they largely resemble the poor peasants. The shop assistants are employees of shops and stores, supporting their families on meagre pay and getting an increase perhaps only once in several years while prices rise every year. If by chance you get into intimate conversation with them, they invariably pour out their endless grievances. Roughly the same in status as the poor peasants and the small handicraftsmen, they are highly receptive to revolutionary propaganda. The pedlars, whether they carry their wares around on a pole or set up stalls along the street, have tiny funds and very small earnings, and do not make enough to feed and clothe themselves. Their status is roughly the same as that of the poor peasants, and like the poor peasants they need a revolution to change the existing state of affairs. >>2863016
Stocking shelves and transport is part of the production process
all this moralistic rambling about how teachers and doctors are "parasites" when really what you should say is that if everyone in society were put into productive labor according to a central plan, and productive processes automated to the maximum extent possible, the socially necessary labor time of all commodities would drop precipitously, thereby reducing working hours to a minimum for all people, freeing them from bondage, and creating more than enough for everyone.
How is a public school teacher bourgeois?
>>2863023i think he's arguing that their labor is unproductive. the part he is leaving out is that unproductive labor is just a neutral term for whether your labor produces surplus value (profit) for a capitalist, not a term for whether you are useful to society.
Not all productive labor is necessary or good, and there is completely necessary non productive labor. See how long your society lasts without mechanics and janitors, you won’t like it.
>>2863024>>2863024a very simple example btw: Lenin giving a speech from a balcony to thousands of gathered workers, soldiers, sailors, and peasants, is not Lenin engaging in productive labor, but it is useful to society in that it raises the class consciousness of the workers.
dead economist + people who don't know what they're talking about, who usually haven't done more than skim the economist in question, but have lots of petty resentments = some of the most insane babble about society you'll ever hear
>>2863026>Not all productive labor is necessary or good(for example: making bombs that get shipped to the IDF)

the elementary school teacher cartel = scumbag leeches on society
workers putting together F-35 fighter jets = real proles
>>2863035teachers? more like treatchlers
this is just black hammer’s politics but without the reference to race
>>2863020>Stop asking me stupid questions and read the booksI have, which I why I know you're wrong. Marx specifically says that the resulting use values coming from the sold labour power are irrelevant. What matters is whether surplus value is being extracted. I'm asking these questions because they are being begged by your proposition. If a retail worker and factory worker are not members of the same class, then you should be able to explain how and why their class positions and interests are different, especially vis a vis the capitalist system in general and their employers specifically.
>Have you never worked in factory? Yes, I've worked in several steel mills and processing plants.
>A service worker may clean a toilet, creating no social aggregate product and therefore no surplus-valueIf they are an employee of a cleaning service then they are creating surplus value. Their service is commodified and therefore a product, and Marx specifically says that the relationship is the same whether the product being sold is a physical commodity or a commodified service. They sell their labour power to the capitalist, that capitalist then uses the labour power to provide a service to a customer in exchange for money. The cleaner then receives a fraction of that revenue as wages, the rest becomes surplus value for their employer.
>Productive labour defined from standpoint of the blackwater executive, in which all labour which affords a capitalist a profit is productive, à la Smith, is correct only to the blackwater executiveMarx openly says Smith is right about this and calls it "one of his greatest scientific merits".
<Productive labour is here defined from the standpoint of capitalist production, and Adam Smith here got to the very heart of the matter, hit the nail on the head. This is one of his greatest scientific merits (as Malthus rightly observed, this critical differentiation between productive and unproductive labour remains the basis of all bourgeois political economy) that he defines productive labour as labour which is directly exchanged with capital; that is, he defines it by the exchange through which the conditions of production of labour, and value in general, whether money or commodity, are first transformed into capital (and labour into wage-labour in its scientific meaning).In other words, labour is productive when it is capable of being transformed into capital. Continuing with the toilet cleaner example, a personal maid hired by a rich family to clean their house is not a productive labourer. This is because they exchange their services directly for revenue, which they then appropriate to themselves. Their is no transformation of labour into capital, and the employer is not making money from the service, but rather losing it. By contrast, the employee of a cleaning service creates surplus value that can be transformed into capital. The profits can be used to purchase more vehicles, more supplies and equipment, hire more workers who then create more capital. In other words, they are productive if their labour contributes to an M-C-M cycle.
can anyone here explain the fundamental difference in relationship between a factory worker in iran and a blackwater mercanary bombing iran? The labour of both afford their respective capitalists a profit, therefore these classes are identically proletarian. I contend every single day that americans are not imperialist devil labour aristocrats, but also that backwater mercenaries really are productive, because Smith said so!
>>2863040>The labour of both afford their respective capitalists a profit, therefore these classes are identically proletarian.Do you think "proletarian" is a synonym for "morally good" or something?
>>2863040Your problem is with Karl Marx, which is fine, but you should be honest about that
>>2863044He seems to be unable to grasp the concept that Marx agreed with Smith on many things, and that this was one of them.
<We come now to the last controversial point in Adam Smith’s writings which we have to consider: the distinction between productive and unproductive labour.<In Adam Smith’s definition of what he calls productive labour as distinguished from unproductive labour, we find the same two-sided approach as we have found on every question up to now. Jumbled together in his presentation we find two definitions of what he calls productive labour, and to begin with we will examine the first, the correct definition.<Productive labour, in its meaning for capitalist production, is wage-labour which, exchanged against the variable part of capital (the part of the capital that is spent on wages), reproduces not only this part of the capital (or the value of its own labour-power), but in addition produces surplus-value for the capitalist, It is only thereby that commodity or money is transformed into capital, is produced as capital. Only that wage-labour is productive which produces capital. (This is the same as saying that it reproduces on an enlarged scale the sum of value expended on it, or that it gives in return more labour than it receives in the form of wages. Consequently, only that labour-power is productive which produces a value greater than its own.) If you work in a brewery or a distillery you aren’t a proletarian because your product is poison that causes car accidents, rape, abuse, and all sorts of anti social behavior. I’m smart AS FUCKING SHIT

>>2863043chudtalians of n'yawk are always wopping out
>>2863043For these types sometimes I think the only way of dealing with them is to ironically bring back some archaic 19th century racism to throw it back in their faces.
>”New York was built by ANGLO-SAXONS not your grease bag wop ancestors. The only thing you built was crime syndicates here. Why don’t you go back to that shitty rock you call Sicily if you’re so proud about being a guido.”It won’t really convince them of the error of their ways, but the freak out would be funny.
>>2863107>actually let's just be racist not because it'd be constructive or useful but just because it's funnyyou really don't do a great job beating allegations sometimes.

>>2863109I remember as a kid doing some project for school where I was supposed to trace how my ancestors came to America (it’s a Catholic school so there was a big emphasis on Ellis Island and being descended from Immigrants) and I was pretty much the only kid whose “immigrant story” was “my Scottish dirt farmer ancestors came here in the late 18th century”, they assigned us this thing where it’s like “describe the food you inherited from your culture, the stuff your ancestors ate that you still eat in celebrations today” and, well, it’s not like I’ve ever had Haggis—don’t think it’s even legal to purchase in LA county outside of specialty restaurants.
My point is that I’m about as far removed from the “immigrant story” as a white guy in the U.S. feasibly can. I really don’t know what motivates these types—whether the precarity their ancestors faced as immigrants here no longer haunts them, or whether that same precarious status encourages them to punch down to prove they’re “REAL Americans”

The context was they were talking about how Russians just naturally love war and dictatorship. Saw someone do a reverse Zhukov quote:

>>2863162Tbh it just reads as coping to me. Like who could Israel even elect after Bibi? He’s in power cause he seems the only person to be able to maintain a coalition.
I predict when he’s gone, assuming Israel still exists, libs will celebrate for all of five seconds before the heir apparent becomes a guy who claims Palestinians eat their own children if they think they’re the “runt of the litter”

>>2863166They unfortunately are under the delusion that there are adults in the room that will take over once Bibi is done; same way they've been maneuvering with Trump. Does anybody really know what is going with Israeli politics anyway? Right-wing forces are only continuing to grow in strength right? How will these genocide defenders react if Bibi actually wins re-election? Or he pulls some kind of Erdogan style coup?

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/07/09/xywt-j09.htmlUS President Donald Trump has relaunched American imperialism’s illegal war of aggression against Iran, after repeatedly making Hitlerite threats in recent days to destroy the country’s basic infrastructure and rain death and destruction on its people.
Speaking Wednesday on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump effectively repudiated the 60-day truce reached between Washington and Tehran last month. “As far as I’m concerned, it’s over,” he declared. He went on to vow that the US will continue the campaign of air strikes launched on Iran in the early hours of Wednesday morning. “We’re going to hit them hard tonight,” boasted the fascist would-be dictator president.
This was coupled with a flurry of other threats, including the possible resumption of the US blockade of Iranian ports and the “takeover” of Kharg Island, Iran’s principal Persian Gulf oil export hub.
On Tuesday, Washington canceled the oil export sanctions “waiver” that it had granted Tehran as part of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that underpins the truce. Hours later, the US mounted air strikes on more than 80 targets in southern Iran, killing, according to Iranian authorities, eight military personnel.
In his characteristic gangster-style fashion, Trump denounced Iran’s leaders in his Wednesday remarks, reveling in his capacity as the head of the US imperialist war machine to order execution air strikes like that which killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei at the war’s outset. “I do not want to deal with them any more, they are scum. They are sick people,” he snorted.
Tehran, for its part, has warned that the US is in breach of the MoU. An Iranian Foreign Ministry statement issued Wednesday said America’s “repeated illegal attacks against Iran,” the re-imposition of sanctions on Iranian oil and Israel’s continuing aggression against Lebanon “have rendered important and fundamental parts” of the truce agreement “ineffective.”
Iran has responded to the Pentagon’s Tuesday night attack with counter-strikes on US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain and by warning the region’s other oil sheikdoms that they will be similarly targeted if they continue to facilitate US aggression.
The truce has been hanging by a thread since it was formally signed by Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on June 17.
Trump has repeatedly threatened to renew hostilities even as more information has emerged about the depletion of US missile stocks and the damage Iran has inflicted on US bases across the region.
The truce, coming after a long stream of proclamations from Trump, his Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and other minions about an overwhelming US “victory,” represented a debacle and humiliation for Washington. While unleashing massive wanton violence and suffering, the Trump administration manifestly failed to achieve any of its stated objectives—regime change, the elimination of Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missile arsenal, and the cessation of its support for Hezbollah and other regional allies. Moreover, Iran was quickly able to establish effective control over the Strait of Hormuz, choking off energy and other exports from and to US allies.
Trump himself made reference to the devastating impact US imperialism’s illegal, unprovoked war has had on the world economy, when in justifying the truce he invoked the threat of an economic catastrophe akin to the Great Depression.
Yet some three weeks later Trump and the US oligarchy on whose behalf he rules have recklessly reopened hostilities, threatening to plunge the region and world into an even larger conflagration and economic morass.
They do so in the face of a massive show of popular opposition to US imperialism on the part of ordinary Iranians. Since July 4, millions of Iranians have joined what are to be six days of funeral observances for Ayatollah Khamenei and family members, including his 14-month-old granddaughter, who were killed in the February 28 decapitation strike with which the US and Israel launched their criminal war.
Even sections of the Western media have been forced to concede the popular character of the funeral observances and the palpable mass anger and mood of defiance, as well as genuine anguish, that have characterized them. They have mobilized what remains of the Islamic Republic’s traditional base among the urban and rural poor but also broad sections of working people with deep-rooted grievances against Iran’s bourgeois nationalist regime. They recognize that imperialism represents the greatest obstacle to realizing the social and democratic aspirations of Iran’s workers and toilers and are implacably opposed to the bipartisan drive of the US political establishment to reduce Iran to the type of neo-colonial bondage that existed under the bloody rule of the US-installed Shah prior to the 1979 revolution.
On Wednesday, the funeral procession passed over into Iraq, which like Iran has been the victim of decades of US imperialist aggression, including the invasion and occupation launched in 2003 under a web of lies about “weapons of mass destruction.” There it was similarly greeted with mass outpourings of popular anger against US imperialism and its Israeli attack dog
The Trump administration’s belligerence is born of crisis—a crisis that is itself rooted in the ever-accelerating decline in the world position of US imperialism and the basic contradictions of the capitalist social order. It faces mounting opposition and growing political radicalization at home as manifested in the mass participation in the “No Kings” protests and a wave of strikes involving broad sections of the working class across the country, from auto parts workers, to educators, healthcare workers and transit workers. Terrified of this growing threat from below, Trump rails against the danger of “communism” and accelerates his drive to impose a presidential dictatorship.
As for the ostensible opposition party, the Democrats, they work with the trade union bureaucracy to contain and suppress working-class opposition. Their objections to Trump’s policies largely revolve around questions of US imperialist foreign policy and strategy. This has been exemplified in their response to the Iran war. The entire Democratic Party leadership, including Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, supported the narrative used to justify their war—that Iran, a historically oppressed country, is an aggressor and a threat. Insofar as they have made criticisms, it has been over procedural issues (such as the administration’s failure to give Congress a role in planning and overseeing the war) and Trump’s maladroit conduct of it.
The Democrats joined with powerful sections of the military-security establishments and financial oligarchy in attacking Trump for agreeing to a truce with Iran that failed to achieve any of Washington’s war objectives. California Senator Adam Schiff called it “a thorough capitulation,” while his Connecticut colleague, Chris Murphy, termed it “essentially a surrender to Iran.”
Trump’s relaunching of the war on Iran unfolded against the background of a NATO summit dominated by the imperialist powers’ competing agendas in what is a developing global war for the control of resources, markets, production networks and strategic territories akin to the imperialist world wars of the last century—only on a far greater and more lethal scale.
The European powers, joined by Canada, used the summit to escalate the war on Russia, boasting of their accelerating rearmament drive and role in providing their Ukrainian proxy with the capabilities of striking deep inside nuclear-armed Russia. Trump, meanwhile, denounced them for not being more supportive of the US-Israeli war on Iran, demanded Greenland be ceded by Denmark to the US, reiterated his support for a US-Russia deal to end the Ukraine war at the expense of America’s NATO “allies” and threatened to cut off all US trade with Spain.
The imperialist powers and the capitalist system they lead are dragging humanity to the abyss. The only progressive answer to their rival predatory agendas for rearmament and war, austerity, and the evisceration of democratic rights is the revolutionary mobilization of the international working class. The World Socialist Web Site has long insisted that the same crisis of global capitalism that is fueling global war is intensifying class conflict, creating the objective conditions for the emergence of a mass movement of the working class for socialism.
The critical question is to politically arm the growing working class counter-offensive with a revolutionary socialist program, strategy and leadership. It is to this task that the International Committee of the Fourth International and its respective national sections, the Socialist Equality Parties are dedicated.
>>2863162its just the liberal zionist slight of hand "israel good, bibi bad"

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2026/07/08/fnaa-j08.htmlThe campaign of Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, is collapsing under the weight of a new sexual assault allegation, exposing not merely the personal degradation of the candidate but the political forces that manufactured and promoted him as a “working-class” tribune.
On Monday, Politico published an interview with Jenny Racicot, who accused Platner of raping her in 2021. Racicot repeated the allegation later that night in an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper. Platner has denied the allegation. Within hours, leading Democrats who had tolerated or excused months of earlier revelations, including his Nazi-linked Totenkopf tattoo and history as a soldier and mercenary for US imperialism, rushed to call for him to withdraw.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Kirsten Gillibrand called on Platner to withdraw, with the DSCC declaring it would not fund the Maine Senate race if he remained the nominee. California Rep. Ro Khanna and other endorsers withdrew support as well.
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who had been Platner’s most prominent national booster and appeared with him under the fraudulent “Fighting Oligarchy” banner, waited longer than others, but by Tuesday he posted on social media that he “recommended that he step aside.”
Under Maine election law, if Platner withdraws by July 13 the Democrats can select a replacement by July 27, a procedure that is now clearly being prepared.
The debacle confirms what the World Socialist Web Site explained from the beginning. After Platner won the June primary, the WSWS wrote that while the vote expressed real anger over inequality, “Platner’s promoters—large sections of the Democratic Party and the trade union apparatus, most avidly its so-called ‘progressive’ wing—present him as a genuine representative of the working class. He is nothing of the sort.”
Platner’s “working-class” identity was from the beginning a political marketing product. His supposed credentials for this position were the fact that he was a veteran, “oysterman,” and rural Mainer, combined with his vulgarity, tattoos, profanity and anti-billionaire demagogy. But this had nothing to do with the working class as a social force.
In fact, Platner is a small businessman, a former Marine, Army soldier and Blackwater/Constellis contractor, and a loyal Democrat. His social background and career belong not to the proletariat but to the upper-middle-class layers around the Democratic Party.
However, Platner’s manufactured persona was politically useful to Democratic-aligned consultants, the trade-union apparatus, Sanders/DSA operatives, and liberal media figures searching for a way to repackage the Democratic Party after its catastrophic loss of support within the working class.
Platner’s own platform exposes the right-wing character of the campaign. On immigration, he combines denunciations of Trump’s “mass deportation machine” with the demand for “strong border security.” On the Pentagon, he does not call for an end to imperialist war or the dismantling of the military machine. “Send me to Washington and I will work tirelessly to rebuild the American military,” his campaign website declares.
Platner’s position on Gaza followed the same pattern. After issuing limited criticisms of Israel’s crimes, he marked the second anniversary of October 7 by adopting the language of Schumer and the Zionist establishment, writing that “Hamas launched a horrific terrorist attack against the people of Israel” and calling for “ALL the hostages” to be released and “this war” to end.
The Totenkopf tattoo emblazoned on his chest for nearly two decades was never a secondary issue. It was politically diagnostic. Platner acquired the Nazi-linked death’s-head tattoo while serving in the Marines. The self-declared history buff, who attended private school and George Washington University, claimed ignorance, even though the infamous symbol is associated with the SS and Nazi concentration camp guards, and earlier reporting cited a former acquaintance who said Platner had referred to it as his “Totenkopf.”
The Totenkopf tattoo did not merely expose Platner. It exposed the social and political forces that manufactured him. A movement genuinely rooted in the working class would seek to educate, elevate and politically clarify workers. The Democratic Party and the DSA milieu instead seek to promote backwardness, mimic the vulgarity of Trumpism, and keep social anger trapped inside a bourgeois-imperialist party.
Upon the tattoo revelation, Sanders, Khanna and the pseudo-left rushed to defend Platner as a “working-class candidate,” supposedly unfairly maligned by “the corrupt campaign-finance system,” in the words of Sanders.
The most important question is not why Platner collapsed, but why he was promoted in the first place, and by what social forces. Sanders held events with him under the “Fighting Oligarchy” banner. Ro Khanna defended him after the Nazi tattoo revelation. Jacobin, the unofficial press organ of the DSA, published repeated defenses, including one by David Sirota that stated that the debate over whether Platner was sufficiently “working class” had ignored that he “enlisted in the military for multiple combat tours for his country.”
“Progressive” commentator Krystal Ball declared herself more “ride or die” for him after the Nazi tattoo revelation. The United Auto Workers bureaucracy, led by DSA darling Shawn Fain, likewise waved away Platner’s record and Nazi tattoo and presented him as someone who had “chosen to stand with the working class.”
Joining the UAW, DSA and “progressives” in boosting Platner’s campaign were Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times and David Remnick in the New Yorker. Goldberg wrote that Platner was “nothing like the edgelord caricature” she encountered online, called him “largely convincing” in person, and compared his campaign energy to Obama. In another column for the Times she favorably compared Platner to a “Democratic version of the Tea Party,” writing that voters were seeking “to upend a system that they believe has failed them.”
The WSWS proceeded on an entirely different basis. It began from the class character of the Democratic Party, the AFL-CIO bureaucracy, the Sanders operation and the imperialist state. In several articles, it exposed the character of the Platner campaign and warned of the debacle it would produce.
Platner is a hybrid of two Democratic Party types. One is the “CIA Democrat” identified by the WSWS in 2018. The other is the Fetterman model: the affluent, college-educated right-wing politician costumed as an authentic representative of the working class through dress, mannerisms and regional branding. Platner combined both: the veteran/mercenary credentials of the national-security Democrat with the vulgar, rough-hewn affect of the pseudo-populist.
Ten years ago, Hillary Clinton referred to Trump voters as the “basket of deplorables.” Now the ruling class manufactures “deplorable” personas to market to workers. Both express the same contempt for the working class.
Thousands of people donated money, volunteered time, attended meetings and placed their hopes in a campaign that was presented to them as a vehicle for fighting oligarchy, war and corruption. That energy was directed into another attempt to refurbish the Democratic Party, one of the two parties of American capitalism, imperialist war and dictatorship.
The responsibility for this political fraud rests above all with Sanders and those around him, including Khanna, Jacobin, the DSA milieu and the AFL-CIO bureaucracy. It is an important political lesson for workers and young people in Maine and across the country.
>>2863176Yes, and it implies that the answer to the "israel question" is the same answer to the question of the entire New World from Canada to Chile
>>2863180A state with equal rights and the benefits of socialism for everyone, like Cuba
>>2863183Does this imply that Israeli settlers should be allowed to stay in Israel as long as rights become equal? How is it possible to establish such a situation when the current situation is that the Israelis kill and settle with impunity? How can there be equality in a representative government when the Palestinians have had their population and therefore their representation slashed through genocide?
>>2863175Not really, homie.
Past a point countries cease to be "settler-colonies" in any meaningful sense. There's no "anglos out of Briton" for example. You can abandon Israel without having to freak out "Oh America is Israel!"
>>2863167>They unfortunately are under the delusion that there are adults in the room that will take over once Bibi is done; same way they've been maneuvering with Trump. Does anybody really know what is going with Israeli politics anyway? Right-wing forces are only continuing to grow in strength right? How will these genocide defenders react if Bibi actually wins re-election? Or he pulls some kind of Erdogan style coup?I think they'll claim Bibi rigged the election just like they claim Russia rigged ours (or maybe even claim Russia rigged the Israeli election, they love doing that) but I think this is just desperate flailing to find some way to not abandon the Israeli project as a whole.
>>2863184Here’s the thing, as soon as equal rights are declared, most of the Israeli jews will just leave instead of being equal with arab neighbors. Similar thing happened in South Africa even though the whites still technically own the land. You don’t even need a campaign to ethnically cleanse them or whatever like germans in poland.
>>2863184What you’re implying means every Haitian gets deported to Africa, that’s not very realistic
>>2863185>Past a point countries cease to be "settler-colonies" in any meaningful sense. Ring up the nearest reservation and tell 'em that sweetheart

BREAKING NEWS: Air Force One (VC-25) has been shot at by unknown while flying, Emergency landing expected
>>2863189Reservations aren't really all that different from any other ethnic ghetto tbh. In fact the main difference is that they actually have official status that typically comes with some powers of self-government. Colonialism against Indigenous people in Canada and the US today almost always takes the form of extractive colonialism, i.e. resource extraction or other commercial use of Indigenous land or land they consider to be theirs. Generally this land isn't being seized from Indigenous people and given to white people to live on. Meanwhile Indigenous people themselves are (unlike in the past or Palestinians today) full citizens and can vote, hold public office, own property, move freely through the country, etc. This isn't to suggest that they don't remain an internal colony and victims of viscous systemic racism, but it is correct to say that the unique features of settler colonialism tend to fade over time once the process of settlement and subjugation is complete.
>>2863188I'm just trying to figure out what the limit is
>>2863190The rights can be nominally equal in the letter of the law while there still exists unofficial off the books programs of extermination. settlerism in israel of takes the form of teenagers on ATVs driving around and committing vandalism of palestinian homes with no "official" sanction from the government. Just like in America settlers often massacred entire villages of natives with no legal sanction from the government. How do you permanently prevent such a thing while a settler majority remains?
>>2863185>Past a point countries cease to be "settler-colonies" in any meaningful sense. There's no "anglos out of Briton" for example. You can abandon Israel without having to freak out "Oh America is Israel!"So what is that point? How many years? What year did America stop being "settler" in any meaningful sense.
>>2863184To be honest part of me thinks it should be placed under U.N. conservatorship for a few decades but I have dismal views on the UN's ability to solve this (as well as the fact that is literally the perfect combination of brainworms to make right wing evangelicals do suicide bombings of the UN headquarters) but if I had to just do some napkin proposal
>30 day grace period, then immediate transfer of ownership to any Palestinian who can provide proof of ownership of property that was illegally stolen by Israelis>Right of return for ALL Palestinians and guaranteed citizenship in the new state>War crime tribunals for the IDF as well as Israeli leadership>"Truth and reconciliation committees" exposing Israeli crimes>Denuclearization, maybe?>>2863189I've went shooting with Natives, one of 'em was wearing a tacky tank top showing an eagle gripping a flag with the cross superimposed in the background. Real "LOVE IT ER LEAVE IT!" vibe.
They generally aren't Maoist third worldists and I think they'd much prefer full membership and dignity conferred on them as part of the U.S.
That said, again doing napkin proposals, I think the best way to handle Native reservations is try to expand the land under their ownership, provide economic stimulus, funding for the preservation of native languages and culture, and maybe use the Bureau of Indian Affairs to actually sit down with Native Americans and ask point blank what the government can do for them.
>>2863193>How do you permanently prevent such a thing while a settler majority remains?Israel doesn't have a settler majority. The combined population of Gaza, the West Bank, and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship is slightly larger than the total Jewish population of Israel. If you include the Palestinian refugees in surrounding countries they would compose the firm majority of a Palestinian state.
>>2863186>Here’s the thing, as soon as equal rights are declared, most of the Israeli jews will just leave instead of being equal with arab neighbors. They're just gonna give up all that free property they already stole because of purely on-paper "equality?" Really? They're gonna abandon all the houses, money, centuries old olive groves, etc. they stole? I seriously doubt it. White Americans in the South didn't leave after Lincoln passed the emancipation proclamation. Instead they formed the klan. White Americans didn't leave for Europe after LBJ passed the civil rights act.
>>2863199>The combined population of Gaza, the West Bank, and Palestinians with Israeli citizenship is slightly larger than the total Jewish population of Israel.Well the ongoing genocide, and the uncounted dead, makes the prospect of this remaining true very bleak. And I very seriously doubt we will ever see a "two state solution" even if that's what Hamas and the PFLP want as a compromise.
>>2863201White South Africans and rhodesians did just that
>>2863201Anon all you're really saying here is "What if the settlers don't accept a one state solution?" which is kind of a silly statement. In order for it to be implemented they must have already accepted it, either by force or consent.
>>2863195> use the Bureau of Indian Affairs to actually sit down with Native Americans and ask point blank what the government can do for them.euroamerikans can get the fuck out and go back to europe.
>I think they'd much prefer full membership and dignity conferred on them as part of the U.S.an empty, pious wish proposed by the colonizer labor aristocrat itself
>>2863184Zionism is jewish exclusive sovereignty in the region, giving 5 million palestinians equal citizenship and making the state bi-national would kill the idea entirely, no need to ethnically cleanse anybody
If the Unionists accepted the Good Friday Agreement even though it’s doomed their political supremacy I don’t see how Zionists won’t eventually be forced into a similar arrangement
>>2863202Even if the entire population of Gaza were exterminated, the Palestinian population would still outnumber Israelis (assuming we're including the refugees).
>>2863205>euroamerikans can get the fuck out and go back to europeThe people who say shit like this are inevitably white edgelords with no experience actually working with Indigenous people or their liberation movements. No serious Indigenous liberation activist thinks such a thing is remotely possible, nor would they ever seriously propose or argue for such a thing. Their goals are always a dignified and equitable existence alongside the non-Indigenous population.
>>2863203And Americans did not. Doesn't mean israelis will do it either. And Rhodesians were defeated militarily. They were not simply defeated through reformism, which is what the two state solution is.
Dumping 100 million white Americans in the UK would be funny, those poor NHS workers dealing with karens
>>2863209>assuming we're including the refugeeswhich is why right of return with full guaranteed citizenship and political representation NO MATTER HOW MANY GENERATIONS THEY HAVE BEEN EXILED is essential to palestinian sovereignty. this isn't just about letting back in 90 year olds who remember the nakba, but their grandchildren born in america. settleroids in israel would only concede such a thing if they experienced a total military defeat and abandonment by the US empire. Are we anywhere close to seeing that happen in any practical terms? I wish but no. obviously not.
>>2863204see
>>2863212<settleroids in israel would only concede such a thing if they experienced a total military defeat and abandonment by the US empire. Are we anywhere close to seeing that happen in any practical terms? I wish but no. obviously not. >>2863211The brits would probably destroy the NHS out of spite.
>>2863212We are closer to that then you think with Israel’s military completely overstrained, losing in Lebanon to Hezbollah (again), expansion into Syria, and the US completely flubbing the Iran operation
>>2863212Fully agree, but the Israelis already seem to have exhausted not only their ability to expand under their own power, but are increasingly testing the limits and patience of their patrons in Washington. I think toppling Assad represented the Zenith of their power and its going to be all downhill from here.
>>2863189I've went shooting with Palestinians, one of 'em was wearing a tacky tank top showing an eagle gripping an israeli flag with the jewish star superimposed in the background. Real "LOVE IT ER LEAVE IT!" vibe. (worthless anecdote to justify genocide)
Palestinians generally aren't Maoist third worldists and I think they'd much prefer full membership and dignity conferred on them as part of Israel.
That said, again doing napkin proposals, I think the best way to handle Gazans is try to expand the land under their ownership, provide economic stimulus, funding for the preservation of native languages and culture, and maybe use the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories to actually sit down with Palestinians and ask point blank what the government can do for them. (this is what this dumbfuck is proposing)
Unless Israel can press gang haredim into the IDF they’re going to break, it’s that simple
>>2863216one important question is would NATO continue to support israel even if america didnt'?
>>2863218Have you ever met an Indigenous North American?
>>2863221Yeah. the ones on the reservations hate euroamerikans because they stole their land and put them there, unless theyre actually retarded.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/rioting-by-haredi-extremists-has-caused-nis-600-million-damage-to-jerusalem-light-rail-work/ >>2863193>So what is that point? How many years? What year did America stop being "settler" in any meaningful sense.I mean when does the Ship of Theseus stop being the Ship of Theseus? We're talking about something at the intersection of objectivity and subjectivity. I think expecting some simple solution along the lines of "50 years" or "100 years" is silly, and I think the nonsense woo-woo about "its about having a STORY where you are BORN from the land" is just as silly, if not more so.
The way I see it, I think it can be objectively said that the process of actual settlement ended more than a generation ago. Like the most recent state to join the Union was Hawaii, and that was back in 1959.
That doesn't mean that problems which can be traced back to the original settlement of the U.S. don't have knock-on effects into the present. I mean going back to Hawaii again, I think you still have a modern issue with Native land being taken by scumfucks like Mark Zuckerberg, however I don't think it can be said that "the process of settlement is still continuing".

No serious Indigenous liberation activist thinks such a thing is remotely possible, nor would they ever seriously propose or argue for such a thing.

>>2863222I'm from a rural town where Indigenous people are the only visible minority. I went to school with them, worked with them, was in the military with them, and cooperated closely on activist work with them. I have never met a single one that seriously suggested removing white people from the country.
>>2863166Isn't part of it that Bibi is in power because he created a perpetual emergency government? The kind of thing where as long as they're at war, he can stay in forever?
>>2863227I live in Florida the indigenous people are Seminoles here and get over 11,000 USD per family member per month. They are insanely rich. They also divide the profits from their casinos. They have their own police forces, gas stations. Fire department and live in their own luxury communities.
You rarely end up interacting with them. I went to school with one and he would hand out 100 dollar bills at times to friends and rarely wore the same shoes
>>2863229One of the most telling things about Indigenous people in Canada is how they react to separatist sentiments in provinces like Quebec and Alberta. During the height of the sovereignty movement in Quebec a coalition representing virtually all the Indigenous nations in that province declared that if the referendum was successful, they would secede from Quebec and rejoin Canada. In Alberta they've said the same thing.
>>2863215they'll do that anyway without a hypothetical angloburger resettlement
>>2863229>he would hand out 100 dollar bills at times to friends Kek. More merciful to the white man than i would be.
I knew someone who had a native american parent and so got to go to uni in america for free, so that's a thing.
>>2863229>The Seminole Tribe of Florida commands an estimated net worth of roughly $12 billion. Their portfolio features the multibillion-dollar global footprint of Hard Rock International, including 11 casinos, 180 restaurants, and 24 hotels globally, along with 90,000 acres of trust land and a major trust fund valued near $3 billion.Now that is successful assimilation
>>2863235The Seminoles live great in florida they don't have much to be mad over. They live way better than white floridians on average.
>>2863228Kiiind of? I remember doing a little reading about Israeli politics when he was briefly out of office, I can't remember the time because it felt pretty short but basically
>Only way he was out of office was by the "Far-Right" Israeli parties forming a coalition with a "Moderate 'Left'" Israeli party and within the span of I think a year the coalition collapsed on itself.Like he's got the whole "war government" thing for sure, but he's also in a position of being kingmaker I think? Essentially he's the only one who's shown themself capable of managing all these interest groups for long periods of time. After him maybe you'll get some U.K. Prime Minister type thing where its just a succession of incompetent leaders and everyone getting more pissed off.

The silver lining is that data centers will force us to innovate in desalination for our new sources of water

>>2863229I'm near enough to Oklahoma so it's not that unusual. In school growing up. They get confused for Mexicans a lot (which is a source of annoyance) unless they're more white-passing. I hung out with a Cherokee guy at a PIG show awhile ago. It's an industrial band. Met another guy who was dating this Trot girl who was into AIM stuff. There are Native American boomers in Oklahoma who are MAGA chuds and have Confederate flags and are devout Evangelicals. A lot of military veterans. You can't generalize. White savior attitudes start with an assumption that people of other ethnicities / cultures must be different in some kind of metaphysical way and are basically like children. Asking "what nation are your people?" is a respectful way of asking what tribe they belong to.

Even china isn't really a good counterexample because they're not investing massively into datacenters, they're making much more limited investments with much more efficient systems that are providing 80% of the value at 5% of the cost.

Worthless anecdote to justify your stupid position
>>2863239In Canada Indigenous people have a whole patchwork of special rights and privileges stemming from the complex legal scheme that governs Indigenous-Crown relations. Generally these fall into four categories: rights under the Indian Act, Aboriginal rights, Aboriginal title, and treaty rights.
>Indian ActThis is the main piece of legislation that governs Indigenous-Crown relations. In its original version it was basically just apartheid, since it created the concept of "Indian Status", which came with a whole host of restrictions such as barring them from voting, leaving the reservation without permission, holding office, or conducting legal action. It also compelled attendance to residential schools. It came with a few benefits which were paltry by comparison like exemption from conscription and certain taxes. Today virtually all of the negative elements have been stripped away, while other positive benefits have been added like exemption from certain education fees. Generally speaking Indian Status is actually seen as desirable nowadays. In fact, in the 1970s the Trudeau government tried to repeal the Indian Act and abolish Indian Status, and but it went nowhere because Indigenous people were universally opposed to it.
>Aboriginal rightsThese are rights which aren't necessarily codified in treaties or legislation, but are recognized by virtue of traditional ways of life of a given Indigenous population, as well as the Royal Proclamation of 1763 which states that Indigenous "subjects of the Crown" have a right to adequate means of sustenance via hunting, trapping, and fishing. So it usually means that a status Indian has unrestricted rights to fishing, hunting, or trapping for personal consumption on their nation's traditional territory. This usually means they can ignore restrictions such as seasons, tags, bag limits, etc. It's also sometimes even expanded to included limited commercial activities. For example in Nova Scotia, the Supreme Court concluded that the local Mik'maq people have a right to derive a "moderate livelihood" from lobster fishing plus unlimited fishing for personal consumption, since this was traditionally one of their main means of sustenance. Usually the only restriction is that they can't exercise this right in a way that is contrary to their traditional relationship with these activities, e.g. exhausting the local lobster population. This is one of the main sources of friction between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, like a couple years ago when white lobster fishermen staged a number of protests because they thought these rules gave the Mik'maq an unfair advantage.
>Aboriginal titleThis is the legal name for a land concession granted from the Crown to an Indigenous nation on the grounds that the former didn't go through the proper process of purchasing said land via treaty. It also stems from the Royal Proclamation which states that Indigenous subjects can't be deprived of their land except through purchase. Typically it involves sparsely populated rural areas and doesn't really clash with white people, but it's led to some high profile cases where huge swathes of inhabited land was handed over to Indigenous nations. In these cases however Indigenous people typically specify that their claim does not include the private property of any non-Indigenous people on that land, so what ends up happening is that property owners remain unaffected while the surrounding land is transfered from the municipal/provincial/federal government to the Indigenous tribal government.
>Treaty rightsThese are specific rights enumerated in treaties between Indigenous nations and the government when the latter purchased the land. They vary wildly depending on region, since they were signed at various times over the last 150 years and are still being hashed out to this day. Some of them include some wacky provisions like the Canadian government having to provide the local people with "modern firearms and ammunition". That lead to stuff like the government buying a bunch of Finnish AKs and giving them to Inuit people Nunavut lol.
Out of all these the stuff that usually irks people the most are the special hunting/fishing privileges, as well as the tax exemptions. Plus whenever there's a big land concession under the Aboriginal title doctrine, rightoids start fearmongering about how natives want all the land back so they can kick out the white people (despite the fact that its never happened). It should go without saying that thus far, none of this has compensated for all the damage colonialism has done to these people, or ongoing discrimination. A lot of the benefits enumerated in treaties and stuff actually seem absurd by modern standards. When I was in high school we had an Indigenous elder come and talk to us, he told us about how as per his nation's treaty with the government, he's entitled to a monthly payment of $4.50, which obviously went much farther in the 19th century when that agreement was signed. The courts are also somewhat fickle in how they interpret these rights. Most of the time they're construed in ways that are favourable to Indigenous people, but whenever the application of those rules point to a conclusion that Canadian porkies would find unacceptable, they are ignored. For example the 1764 Treaty of Niagara more or less establishes the Six Nation Confederacy as a sovereign state allied with the British Crown. The courts are supposed to apply these treaties as written, and ambiguities resolved in favour of Indigenous people. But because in this case that would essentially lead to a huge chunk of Southwestern Ontario becoming a separate country, they just ignored those rules in that case.
>>2863241
>Genocided, exploited, and oppressed peoples love americans colonizers akshually
Indigenous Americans aren't Palestinians and their situations are very different. At any rate its not a question of loving or hating anybody, but they're just realistic that 1% of the population will never be able to expel the other 99%. Plus in my experience the vast majority don't subscribe to concepts of collective guilt, and Indigenous philosophy around justice typically emphasizes reconciliation and rehabilitation rather than punishment (though of course this varies by nation).
>>2863257>What's the story there?Not much of a story. White Quebcois are just as racist to Indigenous people as Anglos, and the natives worried that an independent Quebec would tear up all the legal protections they had struggled so hard to achieve in Canada. Additionally, they saw the hypocrisy of Quebec claiming to be an oppressed nation with a right to secession but still denying that right to Indigenous nations.

I would once again draw everyone's attention to how New Zealand handles indigenous issues.
The country was founded on a treaty between Maori and Britain. Then the British said "Lol lmao obviously the treaty doesn't count", which was the legal position until 1975 when the government legislated to create a tribunal to investigate breaches of the principles of the treaty. Through the 1980s this was expanded so that it could consider not just new breaches of the treaty, but also breaches back to 1840. They also came to recognise the Maori language version of the treaty was superior to the English one. (Because some English concepts didn't translate well, like "sovereignty")
The net result has been some settlement payouts and some minor changes in government policy (like creating new kinds of covenants while privatizing land so that the government couldn't go "Lol sorry already privatised it" when confronted with a land claim, Maori language TV, etc.) but New Zealand remains on the whole a completely normal capitalist first-world english speaking country. Obviously this hasn't completely settled the issue (particularly because 1. Maori are 10% of the population or something and 2. a substantial minority of non-Maori love campaigning on Maori issues, as you'd expect of social liberals.) but moving in that direction would be a big step up in a North American context. (iirc Canada is a little closer than the US in this regard.)
Anyway, that's your sensible alternative to "lol sux2bu can't stop history baby", "deport all kkkrakkka kkkolonisers from turtle island", and "we acknowledge this is the traditional land of the poor bastards we stole it from but it's ours now but we acknowledge it was stolen :)"

>>2863017>You can be a feminist and be a radical/liberatory feminist and this is essentially very close already to a socialist egalitarian outlook. Structural and universal approaches to economic and class related problems liberate women from the upper and lower classes.

Dog narratives like this are completely outdated. There are just as many men sticking with abusive spouses for x and y reasons as there women and someone sticking with their spouse because of financial reasons is most likely a lazy bum.

>>2863460See the admiration for the mafia is because they created some whole myth about them being socially conservative and having some bullshit “honor code”. Like The Godfather—while an excellent film—creates this warped conception of them. Other media basically reduces the mafia to like bizarre Robin Hood types and convinced a bunch of suburbanite losers that if they were in the right place at the right time they would’ve gotten blood money from the mob cause like “well I’d cover for a mobster running from the cops”.

https://www.jpost.com/opinion/article-901842 >>2863508i mean it in an academic sense that freedom fuel and trump getting credit for wal mart lowering prices is like 3rd reich nonsense.

>>2863474I honestly thought that the US military came off a lot worse in Apocalypse Now than in Full Metal Jacket. I don't recall them committing any war crimes in FMJ, but in Apocalypse Now they obliterate an entire village and Martin Sheen just murders a wounded unarmed woman point blank.
>>2863468Technically McCarthyism was the third red scare I think. First was the Red Summer of 1919, second was during the Depression, third was the 50s.
>>2863555>Private capital working for the regime willingly and accepting and enabling their interventions into the market as necessary in the overall reactionary projectcorrect, but that's the norm in countries across the globe. complete free market freedom for porky in america was a historical anomaly
>>2863555also the fact that these two things indicate a consciousness about price control policy really shows the level of maneuverability the regime is willing to engage in. they are not hamstrung by libertarian thinking anymore if it gets in the way. They aren't just going to sit there like Hoover while the support melts out from underneath them clinging to orthodox liberal economics. like the 3rd reichs job creation policies during the depression these measures are probably half assed and not enough to actually improve a problem, 90% propoganda 5% results 5% taking credit for stuff they didn't do, but this is really a troubling a sign to me that we are in for a longer ride with Trump's admin than just 2 years.
>>2863559i 100% agree, its disheartening to see america demonstrate a capacity for change. to me, fascist hitlerite populists are more likely to seize power in places that are falling behind relative to other global powers and are incapable of change and unable to rule in the old way, like germany or south korea
>>2863565change itself isn't bad but in this case it shows that this admin is intending to survive by any means necessary
>>2863554I personally find it frustrating to see endless fear mongering articles about anti-semitism being a big problem, when there are a bunch of real laws on the book that I could point at specifically restricting the freedom of gay-people, LGBT people, legalizing the discrimination and profiling of anybody that looks Latino, and you could even argue anti-women restrictions depending on how you categorize abortion bounty laws. There is not one single solitary law reducing the rights and freedom of Jews I can think of. I know real people that eat this shit up, working themselves into a panic at some mean posts they saw online or signs at a protest when their actual Nuremberg style laws on other groups of people that they probably have never even thought.

Apocalypse Now otoh is an adaptation of Heart of Darkness. That's more literary darkness of the human soul stuff. I think FMJ is uglier but also more interesting to me conceptually. A lot of that sick sex exploitation stuff in war propaganda. It takes on a pornographic character. It's on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war where the Russian side had that ad like "don't be a faggot" and there's a guy thrusting his cupcake underwear in your face, while if you ever look at NAFO comments on X there's a lot of vulgar sexual innuendo.

>>2863555> Private capital working for the regime willingly and accepting and enabling their interventions into the market as necessary in the overall reactionary projectthis is why reformists are delusional. capitalists will only let the most clownish reactionaries do reforms . They'll bock/sabotage anyone else so that their precious "approval" ratings drop. The political thinking of the median voter is "would I want to have a beer with him" and "did he Get Stuff Done (tm)". Regarding the latter question, they don't really look at whether the leftoid reformist candidate gets sabotaged or not. They just say "leftoids are commie lunatics who can't Make Deals And Get Stuff Done"
>>2863610>else so that their precious "approval" ratings drop. The political thinking of the median voter is "would I want to have a beer with him" and "did he Get Stuff Done (tm)"The median voter cares more about infidelity than either of those things. Passing the beer test didn't save platty
>>2863616plaptard dropped out. voter reaction had jack shit to do with it. I'm basing my conjecture admittedly on a conversation I had with a trumptard. basically reactionaries see the left getting sabotaged either as a good thing, or they view it as a sign they were too weak to hold power. If you get CIA coup'd, if the capitalists sabotage your term in office, if you are unable to pass the reforms you promise because all of bourgeois parliament was united in making sure that didn't happen… then it's basically your fault. Your tires being slashed means you're a bad driver. Someone slashing your tires while you sleep means you didn't make the right deals with the right people, so you're weak and deserved it. This is literally how normie Americans think because they believe in Might Makes Right and teaming up with teh worst people. This all traces to the national philosophy of US America being Charles Sanders Peirce's Pragmatism instead of Karl Marx's Dialectical Materialism.
>>2863611>>2863618it's just tailing the retards because you'd rather a large army of reactionary cattle than a small army of dedicated communists
funnily enough engels said around 1890 that anti semitism is "feudal socialism" and "reactionary socialism" and "proof that a country doesn't have enough capital in it." which is a quote that is funny but also shows its age.
>>2863619>plaptard dropped out. voter reaction had jack shit to do with it. his ratings went down 6 points in a single day and well below collins, if nobody had given a shit he would've had no reason to leave
>>2863610 (me)
>>2863619 (me)
one more thing… reformism's dedication to "nonviolence" actually makes it more violent in the long run. since you constantly have to "Get Things Done" by "Making Deals" with shitty reactionaries, you just take part in kneecapped-by-design legislation which results in social murder of the masses in the long term. People don't get the stuff they really needed because you were too busy watering things down to make them "reasonable" only for it to not pass anyway.
>>2863630meh. ratings fluctuate during a race. people forget quick. especially if you double down and don't act guilty. Trump had the pussy grabbing audio drop right before November 2016
>>2863611>>2863625this is great stuff. i'd also say trying to tail/merge with reactionary anti-semites or other kinds of bigots shows a degree of cowardice in modern america. I think there are some who see the money, support, and capacity for violence on the right and the sympathetic treatment they get from the state and now recently formal integration with the state and see some appeal in not being a target. like "if i can get these nazis to side with us they become an aid instead of an obstacle that I experience doubt about being able to overcome"
>>2863605Fair point, but I still don't think Apocalypse Now is comparable to the Godfather in the way it treats its subject. I don't think anybody could really come away from Apocalypse Now with a positive view of the US military or the Vietnam War, and iirc it was one of the few American war films that the Pentagon refused to support.
>>2863583the lady they kill at the end is essentially a prisoner they summarily execute, and you can see the contrast between them and her. They are products of a system, they don't understand the conflict in which they are fighting or who they are fighting but have been subjected to physical and sexual violence until they become tools of the system and kill for it. She is a human being fighting for clear reasons that she understands and would be understandable to anyone in her situation, but these kids have been reduced to a point where they can't comprehend anything about her as a person and just see an object or a hated target.
>>2863642Yes well, no accounting for retards.
>>2863637Tbh I'm not sure I see the appeal of switching from a presidential to a parliamentary system. Really seems like a lateral move at best. At worst it's probably less democratic because it forces you to cast a single vote for the legislature and executive. Appellate court judges should also be chosen by sortition to depoliticize them as much as possible.
>>2863611Of course I agree people engaging in anti-semitic speech are not our allies under any conditions; any attempt to find common ground with them is an extremely stupid move to say the least. I just think no matter how much history there is behind a form of bigotry, no matter how many random nazi whackjobs shoot up a synagogue, that cannot be considered of an equal threat level to forms of bigotry against other marginalized groups that are currently backed up and legitimized by the force of government laws. I wanted to provide the reality check that there is actual concerning federal discrimination existing in America, something that at least for the forseeable future of this administration has 0 chance of being turned on Jews (unless maybe they are communist Jews?).
>>2863659well if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes truth by osmosis, especially when you have a nation of people taught to despise all forms of critical thought and to embrace as many reactionary frameworks as possible
>>2863646What I'm going to say will probably be unpopular, but a lot of leftists from other countries don't understand that every single aspect of the design of the American electoral system overwhelmingly favors a two-party system. I think that if a viable independent socialist party is actually to last in America, major reforms are needed, although I admit I have no idea if these would do it.

https://countingdownto.com/?c=7236533>>2863637Considering Congress's approval rating hasn't hit 40% in over 2 decades, I'm not so sure ending them is as big of a deal-breaker that Mike thinks it is
>>2863675People need to stop thinking of the reform vs revolution question as an issue of strategy and more as an objective reality. It's not a question of choosing one or the other approach, but rather which one is objectively within the realm of possibility. Consider a society in which the socialist movement is entirely and exclusively composed of revolutionaries, with no reformist wing whatsoever. Even in that situation, if the state of the economy and bourgeois leadership is such that they are capable of implementing reforms sufficient to blunt class contradictions and prevent revolution, then any remotely competent leadership will do so even if there is not a single reformist among the socialists. Once that happens it will simply sap the revolutionary movement and have the same effect as a successful campaign by social democrats. On the flip side, if you have a socialist movement entirely composed of reformists, but in a society completely incapable of reform, then that movement will very quickly be radicalized and the result will be revolution. People talk as if there would have been a revolution in Western Europe had the reformists not swept in and rescued the situation for capital, but I'd argue that outside of a few exceptions where things sat on a knife edge (e.g. Germany from 1918-1933), the fact that reform was a possibility at all essentially made revolution impossible. Even in the German case, what ultimately resolved the deadlock of the Weimar period was first fascism, and then the postwar boom and Marshall Plan.
>>2863675I would say I agree with you, the DSA will likely fail to force these reforms to happen no matter how much electoral success they have. But it's not really surprising that the democratic socialist organization is looking to advocate for reforms that will allow the masses to VOOTE their way to socialism, isn't that kind of what they do?
>>2863692>JD Vance accidentally exposed the USA's plan, to use the talks to buy time to refill oil reserves and stabilize the economyJDPON Vance
>>2863690>>2863675I don't know how many times I can repeat this point before you guys can understand that for Marx and Engels, 'revolution' is not a synonym for 'insurrection' and they were in favor of "reformism." It's crazy, you guys have just latched on to this misconception so fiercely it's impossible for you to reevaluate it.
>In our midst there has been formed a group advocating the workers' abstention from political action. We have considered it our duty to declare how dangerous and fatal for our cause such principles appear to be.
>Someday the worker must seize political power in order to build up the new organization of labor; he must overthrow the old politics which sustain the old institutions, if he is not to lose Heaven on Earth, like the old Christians who neglected and despised politics.
>But we have not asserted that the ways to achieve that goal are everywhere the same.
>You know that the institutions, mores, and traditions of various countries must be taken into consideration, and we do not deny that there are countries – such as America, England, and if I were more familiar with your institutions, I would perhaps also add Holland – where the workers can attain their goal by peaceful means. This being the case, we must also recognize the fact that in most countries on the Continent the lever of our revolution must be force; it is force to which we must some day appeal in order to erect the rule of labor.Revolution means to completely change the system. You know the word revolution right? Like they talk about the "industrial revolution" right? It didn't mean that industrialists fought an armed conflict.
>>2863700Even if that's the case, historical experience has yet to produce a successful transition to socialism through reform.
>>2863700Well for me Marx and Engels aren't infallible beings, they were just particularly smart men for the time they lived in. I don't really care if their definition of revolution contains reforms in it. Like Sabo says historical experience has yet to produce a successful transition to socialism through reform. Even slavery had to be abolished by war in the USA, even though it was abolished by legal decrees in the British Empire. I am aware that multiple historical paths are possible. We can all quote Marx and Engels saying something that supports our position because they thought a lot of things and wrote a lot of things over the course of several decades. One day Engels will praise co-ops and gradual reforms. Another day Engels will say revolution is the most Authoritarian thing there is. One day Marx will brag to his uncle about buying stocks to "steal money from the enemy" another day Marx will say "when our day comes we will make no excuses for the terror." I love those guys but they aren't perfect and I don't advise using an appeal to their authority as the final say. I think what actually happens in reality is always the final say.
>>2863702>>2863706insurrection doesn't have any record of success either in the developed countries of this world either. At the same time I won't claim that all the failed insurrectionists are the reason reforms haven't worked thus far either. I think it's rather silly how the pro-insurrection crowd always try to claim that successfully extracting concessions is what made all the attempted insurrectionist movements fail.
>>2863711you seem to have me confused with the nipple-TWisters who say that you gotta blow everything up but also you are evil and want treats. i'm not like that. i just don't think you can reform your way out of this situation because look at the system. like just look at it. you can elect succdems but they will just get sabotaged by the bourgeoisie, treated as the second coming of lenin, which is laughable, and then abandoned by their voters when they don't "get stuff done" or "make deals"
>>2863712>and then abandoned by their voters when they don't "get stuff done" or "make deals"I think getting things done, something, anything, is what will actually drive people to support the revolution. I don't think failure inspires anyone as I guess is the Lenin theory. Communists should market them more on that. Tell people, communists got you the five day work week, communists got you labor protections, child labor laws, mandatory and free schooling for children. Communism is when you make life better for the workers.
>>2863711That's because developed countries have historically had the capability to absorb worker demands without changing the mode of production. That's sort of the point I'm trying to make. Socialist transformation only happens when a society isn't capable of sublating class antagonism with some sort of compromise. Progress via reformist means inevitably produces a situation where the bourgeoisie clearly see that democracy and liberalism have become greater obstacles than benefits to their power, and so they move to abolish them with fascism. To expect them to do anything else would either require them to have some sort of respect for democracy, human rights, and social justice (lmao), or else to politically checkmate them so thoroughly that they can immediately see any move towards fascism as doomed to fail. Maybe some countries could transition to socialism through the latter means, but I think this could only happen in a situation where much of the world is already socialist, and willing to intervene against such a fascist takeover.
>>2863713> Communism is when you make life better for the workers.we already do that. the problem is the rich own the media so their message "communism is going to take away your hamburger and make your wife into collective property" gets a lot more airtime. also they literally flood the internet with LLMs now who pretend to be communist and respond "this but unironically, we're gonna fuckin rape you treatlers"
>>2863718Well like this anon pointed out the slavery example:
>>2863706> Even slavery had to be abolished by war in the USA, even though it was abolished by legal decrees in the British EmpireIt was the reactionaries who started the war and the abolitionists who won. Yes, they saw that the tides were turning against them in the realm of democracy, so they picked the war route and then lost. I admire John Brown, and I think in the whole chain of events, he and the other insurrectionist abolitionists probably moved the needle forward and were key to the South deciding to launch their own insurrection, but at the end of the day, all the insurrections failed, both the abolitionist and pro-slavery insurrections.
>>2863722I think people who fail at a revolution or movement as martyrs or even just overtly humialting themselves due to lack of resources, talent or lack of opportunities can serve as inspiration and a source of ideas for the next group that gets something done when a better opportunity comes and more resources
>>2863722not to be too pedantic but the south did secession, not merely insurrection. they declared themselves a separate country, and launched attacks against fort sumter which they framed as an attack on an "occupying force". Then after they lost they framed the war as "Northern aggression" lol
>>2863724"fail fast fail frequently" works when failing isn't fatal. failure is an opportunity to learn for the force who owns the failure. Sure other people can learn through your failures vicariously but they have to want to. more often than not however the key takeaway when others see you fail will be apathy and resignation, rather than searching for better strategies.

>>2863738Not strictly, since some imperialist countries failed at thus, mainly Russia.
>>2863738some developed countries aren't imperialist or even are victims of imperialism despite their high level of development. Nobody would call DPRK imperialist yet they have nuclear weapons, computers, and an electrical grid despite languishing under US sanctions.
>>2863740Russia has never been “imperialist” retard
I'm tired of the moralist zingerism. Even if you're not as bad as the worst of the TWisters it's all in the same vein.
>>2863745He's literally talking about the Russian empire during the period of Lenin, not Soviet Russia or the Russian federation.
>>2863756*during the period of Lenin's early writings
how long before platner joins the republican party?
>>2863761he retired to his oyster farm, who care about him
>>2863764you will be forced to when he comes back running for the republicans
>>2863690>>2863700Most modern revolutions started during periods of rapid reform that evolved into revolution. U.S originally just wanted reps in the house of Lords. The french made Louie into a constitutional monarchy before deciding to chop his head off, the Russians created the doma(Duma? The parliament) and tried transitioning to a liberal democracy. So reformist getting popular, getting elected and failing or succeeding is a good sign of a prelude to revolution.
>>2863755The nazi gay flag guy is always crying about anti-semitism meanwhile he relentlessly defends sharaa the terrorist leader of syria and downplay any crimes of his. This guy is a glowie.

>>2863712>>2863713I stand by my earlier claim that I think the "ideal" electoral politician from the standpoint of wanting to replace Capitalism with Socialism is one that will just flagrantly break the law and dare the powers that be to arrest him, but do so in a pro-social way. Shit like just charging ahead to build low-income housing.
By Bourgeois standards it'd be nakedly corrupt, its just treating the government as Trump does but replacing personal ego with ideology. Either you get the job done or you show how far the government will go to stop you from helping people.
>>2863788Wait so you can just claim to be Jewish and Israel will just let you in? No proof required?
>>2863787is she basically saying
>the cucked arab states should help israel rape palestineor something else?
>>2863795Well, tbf, the twitter post I copypasted actually misquoted him. He does say he is Jewish, but at the same time, yes you can just fucking convert pretty easily and become Jewish. That former Israeli PM was saying about how they need to just bring in more goyim Whities instead of Jewish Yemenis or whatever. Yes they care more about being White than Judaism.

>>2863809>>2863810>jewish state wants more jews living in itwow…………..groundbreaking stuff
>>2863810ehud barak was bigoted against arabs and favored eastern europeans? this is shocking i say. shocking.
>>2863813NTA, "israeli arabs" likely refers to arab jews in this context. not that either interpretation is shocking or groundbreaking. european jews in israel have always been racist against arabs and africans, jewish or otherwise.
>>2863813>>2863815Why does it have to be shocking or groundbreaking? I never claimed it as such. I just made a statement and it was disputed so I provided sources.
>>2863814>>2863816Missed one. What a strange reaction I'm going to add. I don't know where else this is considered a normal reaction. It's very curious is all I'll say.
>>2863817sorry i'm a little jaded from talking about this stuff for too many years
>>2863820now show churches
>>2863820Counting those places as places to relax and socialize is already a uniquely USAnian spin on things as they are places that require expenditure. Which is to say things were already bad in 2001. But yes they have gotten much worse.
>>2863820Now show the cost difference to go to one of those places vs the median wage vs back then vs now lol.
>>2863816israeli society ranks the lowest jew above the highest gentile. a black jew and a white jew can legally marry. a jew and a non jew cannot legally get married since israel is a land built on the principles of jewish law, interfaith marriages are also not recognized. israel is fundamentally a society built on jewish dominance, the color of the skin isn't whats stopping the knesset from accepting arab parties to be politically represented, its the fact that they represent non jewish interests
>>2863820Bleak, we're just not allowed to have fun at all. The only joy we'll be allowed to have will be the whole "laughter of triumph over a defeated enemy" kind of thing
>>2863825People can convert to Judaism. Most Jews are secular aka atheists like the Barak guy was talking about. The main thing is Zionism for them aka maintaining their crazy settle colonialist state.
>>2863824not only is the price higher, but the establishments are closing because the petty booj aren't making enough to keep them open
>>2863828A mixed drink starts at like $15 and a draft beer starts at like $8 lol.
>>2863828I say this completely sincerely, a socialist political platform for America needs to include the subsidization of affordable bars, nightclubs, and bowling alleys
>>2863830As an aspiring librarian that is both extremely bleak and also the typical kind of shit they'd do in a library in a red state
>>2863829Meanwhile I buy a fiff of Polish potato vodka for $20. Yeah fuck your bar.
>>2863825nobody said otherwise. two things can be true at once. european jews can be oppressive and prejudiced towards black and arab jews while also being even more racist against gentiles. you see the same dynamic here in america. white US Americans are racist against black Americans but both white and black US Americans think of North Koreans as basically a bunch of mindless evil orcs.
>>2863829yeah so nobody shows up and the place closes
>>2863832Yeah but there's a certain deep sadness involved in getting drunk off of vodka shots. Probably a reason why it's my go-to
>>2863830If this is how the libraries are then why bother going out at all? I always thought going out was generally a waste of time this just confirms it. Truthfully I just don't like being other people that much. Too much stress.
>>2863831subsidized gyms like the soviets had would be nice
>>2863830chuds did this cuz woke
>>2863836As a librarian I promise you it's only like this in states utterly dominated by Republicans and we're doing our best to push back on anti-youth and anti-unhoused policies like these
>>2863834Can you imagine how it used to be some standard in America for guys to walk up to a random strange lady and buy them a drink. $15? I'm going to buy some bitch a meal's worth off the jump? I hear Australians say this. They're like "hell no we don't buy women drinks, the alcohol is too expensive with our nanny-state taxes."
>>2863820meh people changed those places for a console or a pc or a smartphone.
that's not a metric to measure something beyond of what it states. just a metric to show those industries are dying/dead.
>>2863833here's the problem with that comparison though, america can absorb any ethnic group and remain unchanged. on the flipside the whole idea of Zionism dies the second jews no longer have exclusive sovereignty of israel, thats why they cant politically represent the non-jews or absorb the 5 million palestinians, even for a massive underclass of free undocumented labor to exploit. thats why Barak is so keen on reforming what a jew even is and breaking the orthodox grip on society, he considers foreign jews of any color israels salvation
>>2863821Tried finding some info, don't have a clean graph but apparently Megachurches are growing while small denominational congregations are shrinking? I guess it makes sense as people are less settled than before.
>>2863823It sucks because I've had so much fun bowling with friends.
>>2863824>>2863826I remember as a kid we used to have a skate rink/arcade that was like, a center of community events. After school event? Skate rink. Cub Scouts? Skate rink. Soccer League? Skate rink to celebrate a win. But it closed down ages ago and now there's nothing.
>>2863830I've heard a lot of people talk about how there's kind of a criminalization of being a teenager in public, like even malls don't like them "loitering". Its sort of like how cafes in Europe are for relaxing, sitting down, having a conversation, and in America you get your coffee and get the fuck out.
>>2863837Unironically agree.
>>2863845> thats why Barak is so keen on reforming what a jew even is and breaking the orthodox grip on society, he considers foreign jews of any color israels salvationbut literally we were just now discussing how ehud barak favors russian (read: relatively whtie, european) jews over arab jews (read: nonwhite, non european).
anyway even if my comparison was weak my main argument is that white israelis discriminate both against nonwhite jews, and gentile whites. both being nonwhite and nonjewish is offensive to the european-jewish settlers.
>>2863850>I've heard a lot of people talk about how there's kind of a criminalization of being a teenager in public, like even malls don't like them "loitering". Its sort of like how cafes in Europe are for relaxing, sitting down, having a conversation, and in America you get your coffee and get the fuck out.I believe I've seen signs at malls at least online that say that anyone under 18 can't be there without adult supervision. Also I've seen signs at fast food places that state you can be there for 30 minutes. Just eat and get out.
>>2863861>nonwhite jewsSuch as who? All the Jews in the US are AshkeNazis to my knowledge.
>>2863862I could be wrong but tmk in Isteal you've got ashkenazis who are white passing and talk shit on mizrahis, sephardis and betas. However a significant amount of the bloodthirsty zionist reactionaries come from those three groups. Kinda reminds me of poor whites in the antebellum south.
>>2863864Sorry, I misread that as I said in my reply. I dunno why I confused that he was talking about the American Jewish diaspora.
Anyways, I'm tired of this Jewish minority and Israel. Enough of this bullshit. Jews aren't the center of some world conspiracy, and they aren't the center of the world in anyway. I just want to not have to ever have to talk and tip toe about Jews anymore for the rest of my days. I'm tired of you.
>>2863820I actually stumbled upon a bowling ally the town over. They had $2 beers and $12 pitchers and you can play 2 games for $10. It was like entering some time warp into 1990s.
>>2863862Bruh no america has diverse jewish communities here, like the Bukharian jews in Queens NYC. not as monolithic as you make it out to be
>>2863866which anon are you replying to
>>2863868>Bruh no america has diverse jewish communities here, like the Bukharian jews in Queens NYC. not as monolithic as you make it out to beThat didn't dispute what I said. I commented on the racial tribe or whatever the Jews call the Ashkenazi, Mizrahi, Sephardic, whatever thing. The confusion comes in the so-called "secular" Jews and the religious Jews. In America nobody give a flying fuck about secular Jew. A secular Jew is a White person. Go take an Ashkenazi anywhere anywhere in American they'll tell you they are certainly White. They are much Whiter than many goy Europeans. I know and am friend with a number of Ashkenazi Jews. Blonde blue-eyed Aryan Jews. Anyone would tell you they are Whiter than many Europeans goyims. The thing that makes the Jew is the religion and the seances and the dick mutilations and etc.s I say, the majority of Jews that ever existed stopped being Jews and breeded out into their wider community such as our Lord Marx. His daughters were no longer Jews and their children if they had any were certainly not. Jews that exist in the present time are only the ones who kept the cult.
>>2863870Why do I have to be replying to anyone?
>>2863867I seriously gotta suggest going for a night out sometime, unironically bowling is fun.
Also tangentially related, I did some more research into U.S. soccer, and part of the reason we're not really considered competitive in the soccer world is we've somehow turned an extremely cheap sport into a pay-2-play scheme that costs more than elsewhere.

>>2863904Because that would drag them into constant wars in Palestine and Lebanon.

The reason I ask this is because I was seeing a post about the whole "UK having lower GDP per capita vs Mississippi" and in the comments there was a lot of "well if Mississippians could read" comments. Lots of people insulting anyone from Mississippi as "too stupid to even be able to read."
The thing is, Mississippi is actually ranked 9th now in literacy rate in the US, a phenomena known as the Mississippi miracle. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_Miracle). And another thing I saw one poster point out is that a lot of this is also tied to wealth. So insulting the literacy of poor state like Mississippi is also mocking their status as poor people, in addition it was historically also used to indirectly derive PoCs as they disproportionately make up the poor…
And as a person who has been all across the US, from my own personal experience I will say I have seen A LOT of elitism and bigotry toward people from the south for the simple fact that they are from the south. "You all are illiterate", "you guys sleep with your cousins", "southerners are all dumb." So much so that many southerners develop a habit of code switching, similar to inner city black kids because if you talk with a southern accent you are mocked or thought lesser of. Its "not professional" to be southern.
But i gotta wonder… how much of these attitude feeds into the belief that lefties from other states are "elitist" and create a inherent knee jerk reaction against us? Like are we fueling our own stereotype by treating people from the south this way by a default?
Edit: forgot to add, does having this view of "they are lesser idiots" make trying to make inroads in these states harder? Like would we have an easier time making connections in southern states if we didnt treat them as defective from the jump.

Lots of people insulting anyone from Mississippi as "too stupid to even be able to read."I dunno. I only briefly stayed once passing through Mississippi but I will say the people at the hotel, I don't know where from, were ridiculously nice, White and Black. I think I've seen that all over the South. I always try to hold the door open for a woman and hand it off to a man in general. If it is a group I'd hold it open for all of them. I've notice in the deepest south it seems to be the most uniform politeness.

Looking at the discussions about A/C makes me want to shoot myself. How do you get something so basic wrong?
>>2863913Leftists constantly claim to not be liberals, act offended when they're grouped together, but they act and believe the same things the smug libs do, so it's hard to tell. Marx hated the rural peasants too so the problem goes way back.
>>2863965>Marx hated the rural peasants tooprovide citation of him actually saying this
>>2863921it means he copypasted from reddit
>>2863976Nta, but I’m guessing he’s referring to the time Marx called the rural peasants in France a “sack of potatoes”. I wouldn’t say the point he was making was from a place of hatred tho
>>2863965>Marx hated the rural peasants marx praised the old german peasant uprisings fool
>>2863913The south is chud coded
>>2863898Maybe i can get some shabos goy gigs
Seems like a chill job
>>2863984you don't get paid
>>2863979I figure I should mention Marx in that particular instance was referring to a class of small, free holding peasants—not peasants in general. One of the things about his “sack of potatoes” analogy was that he was kind of characterizing their odd class position.
Basically if I remember it right, the small free holding peasants (maybe analogous to Kulaks) were defined in part by the fact their social “world” was much smaller. The Proletariat engage in a kind of social reproduction by virtue of the nature of their work: they’re on the “shop floor” as it were, they’re working with people they’ve got no familial relationship to and talking to each other. Their labor disciplines them in a sense. The freeholding peasant by contrast it constrained to the immediate confines of his family and village. He’s an “individual” in the way that the worker isn’t.
So rather than there being some collective class interest driving them to political action, they had the legend of Napoleon and the French Empire passed down from father to son. Their elevation of Napoleon III to power was less the actions of a class pursuing its interest but a mob (the potatoes) being utilized by a demagogue (the sack)

> And new members joining Mamdani’s “political home” are told in orientation sessions to think of anyone who works for a living as working class.i don't really like the dsa but they're literally correct using the marxist definition here - why the hell do american normies get so offended if you view class as a relationship to the means of production and not cutoff points on how much money you make
> He and several others strayed from the DSA worldview by defining the working class as those with the most limited opportunities and leisure time.this is the most vague definition of class i've ever seen
>>2863920The hate against the South is so bad that they will tell you they were faking it and they all hate you actually and you need to find the REAL South that still has the KKK running around lmao. Never forgot when a New Yorker unironically came down here and said he thought the KKK was still roaming the streets openly and that New York rudeness is real meanwhile he was tired of "fake politeness" from the South. Just going to point out the KKK in the 20th century was strong in the North as well and people forget that like in Indiana and Rhode Island. The South is pretty much the scapegoat of all of America's problems

>>2863998I wonder when the DSA will start turning murderous against communists
>>2863765>I've heard that too many times, "Socialism might work if we had our White ethnostate, but we share the country with uyghur bums and spics."Where antisemitism enters the picture is that it offers an explanation as to why
>In modern "antisemitic conspiracy" the Jew is not even the actual enemy. The Jews is only bad because he supposedly wants to flood the country with the subhuman darkies.The actual Jew is never the real enemy, it is an imaginary kind of Jew pulling the strings of both the capitalists and the socialists (i.e. we're puppets also being dangled around by Jewish capitalists).
>They would gladly worship the Jew if they are convinced he hates darkies as much as him. To quote the richest man in the world: "Jews are peak White!"He has said that and that Jews are flooding the West with immigrants because they're anti-white for some "dialectical" reason. Idk man I think the right is fine with lying and resorting to any kind of demagoguery including antisemitism if it helps them in the moment. It's something they can ratchet up or down depending on their mood. Historically it'd be in some German village where they'd let you go work out some steam by kicking the shit of the village jeweler or butcher named Jewy Goldstein or Jewey McJewface or whatever and wave crucifixes at him, and then the established order could come in and save his ass. There's an evil cabal of pedophiles in charge of the government and they drink blood!
>>2863997Mamdani and marx beat and raped me while i got a sandwich at 3AM in chicago and they told me this is crakkka country
>>2864008It's such a heavy fucking irony that the DSA, despite offering nothing to its members in terms of education or reading, is being driven by a growing membership whilst the SEP daily spits out higher quality articles than any other party internationally and remains castigated simply due to surface level ideological affiliations
>>2864008I refuse to believe anyone frequents that site unironically, it's the CIA shouting inside an empty room.
>>2863920>I think I've seen that all over the South. I always try to hold the door open for a woman and hand it off to a man in general. If it is a group I'd hold it open for all of them. Yeah this is culturally ingrained in people. I also think this also "crosses racial lines." You hold the door for black women if you're a white man. Black men are almost always incredibly polite to my mother.
>>2863993>Never forgot when a New Yorker unironically came down here and said he thought the KKK was still roaming the streets openly I think socially the South may be less socially segregated in terms of daily life because the populations interacted more closely for hundreds of years. There's a naturalness to it. It's kind of a paradox because the South historically had de jure Apartheid-like segregation (where blacks weren't allowed to drink out of the same water fountains as whites) and this also existed within a more "polite" and conservative (and some ways paternalistic) social order, and then a huge civil rights movement happened there. The resistance to it was fueled by racism for sure but you can't really understand the ferocity of it without considering how it was tied into a whole integrated social order (that didn't simply go away either, it modified / adapted / evolved).
Friend of mine in rural Louisiana saw a white guy get physically thrown out of a bar (went airborne like Superman) for calling a black man the n-word and the other white guy who tossed him shouted that he can't say that "to his face." He didn't say he couldn't say it theoretically, just not in that context. It's good ol-fashioned polite racism with probably less neo-Nazis and angry racism like you see in Idaho. Nick Fuentes is from Chicago.

>>2863982I've known real rednecks and fake rednecks. The fake one was a guy I went to uni with. He was from a rich farming family that had this huge estate, but almost all the work was done by Latin American and Carribean migrant workers. They were of white South African descent too, and when the guy got drunk he would regularly drop the n word. The real rednecks where these enormous French Canadian guys who had an illegal hunting camp in the bush near my parents house. They were a huge family with like five or six brothers who were all like 6'5. On several occasions they had gotten into shootouts with game wardens who came and tried to tear down their illegal cabin.
is air conditioning bourgeois?
>>2864020>The real rednecks where these enormous French Canadian guys who had an illegal hunting camp in the bush I can see French Canadians being the real rednecks up there. Most rednecky people around my area are either from West Texas or Louisiana and various rural counties around here. My mom's side of the family are a bunch of rednecks and one of my cousins married into some crazy clan of them who comprise half of their town. The most rednecky I've ever known were neighbors in a small bayou town my grandfather retired to. I went out on their boat as a kid to bring in their catfish trotlines in a swamp.
Speaking of racism my dad inherited grandpa's house after he died (it was basically a shack) and they casually threatened to burn it down if he rented it out to any non-white people. This was really out in the sticks but the thing is they didn't say
they specifically and explictly were going to do that, it was done in a more mafia-like polite "just letting you know, cuz some people around here…" kind of way. What I think surprises people about not seeing KKK in the South is that historically that was a secret society, more or less, so you wouldn't normally "see" it. They'd use terms like "invisible empire."

>Washington D.C., July 10, 2026 - On October 27, 2025, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents quietly detained Armando Fernandez Larios, a former Chilean secret police operative living in Florida. His incarceration at the Krome Detention Center in Miami remained unknown until he appeared on the Department of Homeland Security’s “worst of the worst” list—one of several Trump administration publicity stunts from January 2026 meant to demonstrate that ICE was rounding up immigrants with actual criminal backgrounds. Despite detaining Fernandez Larios for past crimes of “homicide,” ICE released him from custody after he filed an “unlawful detention” lawsuit, according to court records posted today by the National Security Archive alongside declassified documents on his role in an act of international terrorism in Washington, D.C., 50 years ago.
>Rather than respond to the lawsuit, ICE officials freed Fernandez Larios on March 19, 2026, according to a legal ruling in the case obtained by the Archive’s Chile Documentation Project.
>In 2005, Fernandez Larios attempted to secure an “S” visa that protects foreign informants from ejection from the United States. But key U.S. government officials opposed granting him that protective status. “Some immigration officials have wanted to detain Fernández Larios to face deportation proceedings, citing his lack of any immigration papers and a 1996 law that mandates deportation of foreigners convicted of aggravated felonies,” the Miami Herald reported at the time.
>More than 20 years later, that little-known effort to deport him appears to have been revisited. Although Fernandez Larios is, once again, living freely in Florida, the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Letelier-Moffitt assassination is likely to bring renewed attention to his role in one of the most infamous atrocities ever committed on the streets of Washington, D.C. “If there is anyone who truly qualifies as ‘the worst of the worst,’ observes the Archive’s senior analyst on Chile, Peter Kornbluh, “it is Armando Fernandez Larios.”

>>2863976In the Manifesto Marx praises capitalism for rescuing peasants from the idiocy of rural life. One reading of this an older Greek term that means private or parochial, in other words theyd'd be more plugged into wider society. Either way, it was something to cure. Funny thing is, when Marx envisioned future communist society, his dream jobs were hunting, fishing, herding cattle.

A doctor, a waiter and a programmer: To the DSA, they are all 'working-class' voters
The Democratic Socialists of America are trying to redefine what it means to be a working-class voter in New York City.
To the DSA, restaurant workers, doctors and techies should see themselves as in the same boat. Compared to billionaires, they’re all relatively poor.
“The definition of working class really includes anyone who's dependent on their own work and their own labor for their livelihood and for their income,” said Grace Mausser, who co-chairs the DSA’s New York City chapter.
The chapter has seen explosive growth since Zohran Mamdani announced his mayoral campaign in October 2024. And new members joining Mamdani’s “political home” are told in orientation sessions to think of anyone who works for a living as working class.
Mausser said this includes programmers who work at Google as well as professionals who make six-figure incomes. “I would say a doctor who makes a healthy income, who's making $400,000-plus, is in economic reality much, much closer to a waiter than they are to Jeff Bezos,” she said, referring to Amazon's founder.
The shift portends a potential political realignment that views workers and billionaires as opposing sides of a class struggle. Historically, working class referred to people who did manual labor or low-wage work. With the broader definition, the DSA is attempting to tap into the population of people who may have seemingly comfortable desk jobs and decent salaries but still feel the city’s soaring costs have made it tough to climb the economic ladder
https://gothamist.com/news/a-doctor-a-waiter-and-a-programmer-to-the-dsa-they-are-all-working-class-voters>>2864044tbh, imo, for me looks more like a melting raising begging for a quick death, tired of so much melt, so much pruning.
>>2864040I am not at all sure if you are the same anon but this conversation has somehow gone from the flat out incorrect statement:
>Marx hated the rural peasantsto the much more correct statement
>In the Manifesto Marx praises capitalism for rescuing peasants from the idiocy of rural life. OK let's deal with the second softer statement. That is not "hate" for the peasants, but rather the conditions which, especially in his time, made them on average less literate, less educated, etc.
Also this is more from the bourgeois viewpoint but Adam Smith points out that in the countryside one farmer on his homestead must perform several different kinds of labor in one day, losing time as he passes between them, making him a jack of all trades and a master of nothing, and inefficient in his use of time, which is not the case for people who hyper-specialize in one sort of labor and do it uninterrupted for long periods of time.
<The advantage which is gained by saving the time commonly lost in passing from one sort of work to another, is much greater than we should at first view be apt to imagine it. It is impossible to pass very quickly from one kind of work to another, that is carried on in a different place, and with quite different tools. A country weaver, who cultivates a small farm, must loose a good deal of time in passing from his loom to the field, and from the field to his loom. When the two trades can be carried on in the same workhouse, the loss of time is, no doubt, much less. It is, even in this case, however, very considerable. A man commonly saunters a little in turning his hand from one sort of employment to another. When he first begins the new work, he is seldom very keen and hearty; his mind, as they say, does not go to it, and for some time he rather trifles than applies to good purpose. The habit of sauntering, and of indolent careless application, which is naturally, or rather necessarily, acquired by every country workman who is obliged to change his work and his tools every half hour, and to apply his hand in twenty different ways almost every day of his life, renders him almost always slothful and lazy, and incapable of any vigorous application, even on the most pressing occasions. Independent, therefore, of his deficiency in point of dexterity, this cause alone must always reduce considerably the quantity of work which he is capable of performing. >>2863098It's a green screen background. Look at the edge of he hair near the end
>>2864057Thank goodness for smart liberals like Adam Smith so we can all be more efficient and make him more money, just look at the wonderful world that created. Marx liked enclosure and Manifest Destiny and the British conquest of India. I hope the next Bernie clone loses the rural counties again so you can seethe about the MAGA rednecks who just don't know what's best for them.
>>2863581>This is WEIRD guys>This is not BIBLICALNow correct me if I'm wrong but didn't a bunch of Protestant Evangelicals in the U.S. buy ram's horns and started blowing on them to make Trump win the 2016 election?
They can rant about idolatry all they want, but if they're going to practice Christian sorcery I think the Catholics still have them beat.
>>2863938Y'know I went to a MegaChurch once, or something kind of akin to a MegaChurch. It was pretty large, Protestant through and through.
Honestly it was the only religious place I've been to where at the end of the experience I thought: "God is not here."
Like I've been to Mosques and some older Protestant churches (Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Methodist I believe) and you can at least get some sense of holiness and reverence and the like. I go to this one generic Protestant Church and the first thing you notice is the gift shop right at the entrance, followed by a guy in khakis giving a bizarre sermon that sounds more like a self-help lecture.
>>2864050>“The definition of working class really includes anyone who's dependent on their own work and their own labor for their livelihood and for their income,” said Grace Mausser, who co-chairs the DSA’s New York City chapter.That's always been the most popular take on /leftypol/ lol.
