These guys over at Infrared have been interacting with our threads (/IG/, /INFRARED/) on almost a daily basis, and for that mere fact alone deserve our respect. They contribute to our PPH (post per hour) being higher. The last thread's thread starter was a bunch of slander and trolling attempts, so I'd like to get off on a better footing for this one.
Infrared is:

They are basically hypocrites in my mind. This community's fascination with them is completely pathetic, moreover, while you try to portray this leftypol – infrared relationship as "symbiotic" it's actually PARASITICAL.

Marx specifically said that communism is about abolishing the current state of things. Meanwhile, Haz is saying that Marxism isn't about that. He actively promotes state-capitalist enterprises like China. For Marx a "communist state" would be an oxymoron. For Haz?? It's "common sense."
I laugh at anyone who thinks Infrared is "BASED". They are EVERYTHING wrong with the left. Bunch of ML-wannabe larpers. EVEN FUCKING LENIN were to the left of Haz. Read his "State and Rev." book. Lenin clearly said that such a thing as a "communist state" was impossible.

1) phrase mongering;
2) axiomatic definition-fetishism OVER dialectical thinking;
3) positivism/empiricism/utilitarianism OVER actual critical thinking of how shit actually are;
4) the complete disavowal of the "abstract," while pretending that the "concrete" can be directly accessed, while in fact Marx's method ALWAYS was to start with the abstract and move to the concrete;
5) cultural hegemony-fueled illusions about the world (what we created is true, therefore what is true is what we created);
6) connected with 5): a kind of LAZY ASS BITCH response to EVERY OTHER WAY OF THINKING, for example, analytical (anglo) vs. "continental" philosophy, where you get to pretend that you """"debunked"""" Lacan or Althusser by reducing their points to a strawman;
7) legalistic thinking, which just mirrors the money form, lol, (and its related concepts like hoomanism and enlightement/liberal values);
8) the RAMPANT eastern-hatred and misunderstandings that is so typical of anglos & burgers, which comes from their global POSITION;
9) the inability to question said POSITION in (8).

(I’m replying to Neon directly on here since youtube decided to automatically remove my comments)
As a German, why are you opposed to eurasianism? Creating links with Russia and China is in Germany’s interest, plus this is objectively contributing to the weakening of US global hegemony by creating a new multipolar imperialist world-order.
It’s important to remember that the more the imperialists are divided between themselves, the more likely is the chance of socialism arising. Each world war led to the expansion of socialism. Moreover, an imperialist can and will support a socialist country if it means weakening their rival’s interest, we shouldn’t have any remorse about asking for the support of an imperialist world power to gives us support, as long as it empowers socialism in the long term.
This happened in Ukraine for instance, where Russia supported the Donetsk People's Republic as well as the Luhansk People's Republic against the fascists in Ukraine, despite Russia being led by an oligarch's cock-sleeve.
Another more controversial case among Marxist-Leninist is when the US supported the quasi-socialist state of Rojava in Syria to maintain its imperialist presence in the region, showing that even the US, the most ruthless imperialist warmonger, is capable of supporting a socialist state just to further its strategic interests.
Today the People's Republic of China (which I consider to be state-capitalist) supports the DPRK and Cuba against the US, their role as defender of socialist countries cannot be understated, even if you disagree with their bizarre "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" policy.
It's not about "campism" or whatever buzzword you prefer, it's about creating fractures inside the current global capitalist world order to weaken its power over the extra long-term. Global liberalism depends on political stability, capitalist property rights and social-relations, human capital supremacy, free movement of capital and people, international cooperation as well as the flow of information. To destroy capitalism, you must first weaken the foundations of liberalism to ensure that the capitalists can't form a united front against socialism, and believe me, they will do when a socialist country will actually start to threaten their power.
For the moment, the capitalist countries are too much integrated with each other for revolution to be possible, as like I mentioned before they would not only form a united front to crush socialism, the working class in a revolutionary country would have to fight its entire army apparatus to establish socialism. This task is made significantly easier when the army is disorganized and weakened by a rival imperialist power during a war.
Unfortunately, socialism is not around the corner, the world is just way to inter-connected for a single isolated socialist country to survive (unless you want to become like the DPRK or Cuba). Sad but this is the truth.
Eurasianism in the Russian and post-soviet context represents a way to fight Western imperialist hegemony while furthering the people's need for social reforms. Putin is not really an Eurasianist, he is a Russian nationalist, he supports private monopolies and reactionary Russian imperial myths. Eurasianism is not only the fruit of Dugin's idea, but the manifestation of multiple movements across the post-soviet zone to counter the influence of global capitalist hegemony.
Then there is this new implicit “greater-eurasianism” which is still in an embryonic stage and represent the economic and political convergence of Europe, Russia and China toward a form of proto-socialist state-capitalist model. In order to maintain its supremacy, it’s absolutely essential for the US to stop this convergence by fomenting fractures between these countries so they can’t unite.
This is explicitly said by American geopolitical analysts and it’s also the guiding US foreign policy since WW2. I still don’t understand why brainlets deny it or continue to think America’s actions are guided by neoconservatives’ ideas while these are merely the justifications of the superstructure to meet the needs of the base’s imperialistic interests.
Geopolitics is harsh, it's sterile, sociopathic and devoid of humanity. But they are essential if you want to keep up in this world. You can't think in an ideological manner anymore, idealism in international relation is over, embrace realism. No revolution will survive without having an understanding of modern international relations theory.
Now to reply directly to your accusations:
>Caleb and the Grayzone are puppets of foreign governments. Caleb is obviously funded by the Russian state, the Grayzone has better ways to disguise their sponsors.
I wouldn't even care if this was true, their work (especially the Grayzone) has been essential in fighting the current zeitgeist regarding China and other non-liberal nations.
>Hakim was spouting nonsense, when he praised the RAF and I just felt the need, to call him out for this.
Sounds like you're just a triggered West-Germanoid.
>Wait, you are in defence of Pol Pot??
No and I don't care about having this debate.

>I'm not per se opposed to eurasianism, but I'm not convinced that it is inherently better than atlanticism.Even if it was “worse” than Atlanticism, the Eurasian economic zone is infinitely weaker than the Atlantic countries. And I don’t get what you mean by Eurasianism being “worse” than Atlanticism, Eurasianism promote social-democracy while Atlanticism promote aggressive liberal neo-colonial shock reforms and debt traps.
>Is it? Before Merkel, we had a staunch eurasianist chancellor - Gerhard Schröder - and he did a great job at destroying the welfare state and creating "the best low-income sector in Europe". Now he lives in Russia and is Putin's BFF.<Schröder sent forces to Kosovo and to Afghanistan as part of NATO operations.<When Schröder left office, Germany had 2,000 troops in Afghanistan, the largest contingent from any nation other than the United States, UK, France, Canada and after two years Afghanistan.<When British planes joined United States forces bombing Iraq without consulting the United Nations Security Council in December 1998, Schröder endorsed the military action unequivocally.<The parliamentary leader of the SPD, Ludwig Stiegler, compared US President George W. Bush to Julius Caesar while Schröder's Minister of Justice, Herta Däubler-Gmelin, likened Bush's foreign policy to that of Adolf Hitler. Schröder's critics accused him of enhancing, and campaigning on, anti-American sentiments in Germany.<Bush stated in his memoirs that Schröder initially promised to support the Iraq war but changed his mind with the upcoming German elections and public opinion strongly against the invasion.>boohoo he used anti-american sentiments to get elected despite still being part of NATO and collaborating with them in Afghanistan, that means he’s definitely eurasianist!1!1!1!<Soon after, however, he cultivated close ties with Yeltsin's successor, President Vladimir Putin, in an attempt to strengthen the "strategic partnership" between Berlin and Moscow, including the opening of a gas pipeline from Russian Dan Marino-Pipelines over the Baltic Sea exclusively between Russia and Germany.<Only a few days after his chancellorship, Schröder joined the board of directors of the Nord Stream joint venture, thus bringing about new speculations about his prior objectivity.>nooooo!!! he openly collaborated with Russia to further his own personal capitalist interest, that definitely means he’s an eurasianist!!!!You are a fool if you think saying “america bad” while still following their foreign policy is what eursianism is, Schroder was a centrist neoliberal asshole and he was merely being an opportunist.
>Wow, and how will this bring me a decent wage and affordable housing?Will supporting Atlanticism do that? None of your parties except maybe Die Linke want to do that. And it’s not about being a hardcore eurasianist stan, it’s about recognizing the role that geopolitics and most notably, American hegemony plays in enforcing the current capitalist-world order. Eurasianism, coupled with proletarian internationalism should be the foreign policy choice of a communist party, not its main platform.
>urh dhur will organizing bring me a decent wage and affordable housing?See how retarded you sound?
>I distrust China the same way I distrust Russia and the US.I don’t even think China is socialist but if you think that you are seriously braindead. Plus, the fact that you used to be an ultra-dengist means you didn’t read actual literature regarding the current state of China or else you wouldn’t be thinking that now. You were a brainlet before, you still are one today, nothing changed, you’re still retarded. You didn’t ascend to a new state of knowledge and understanding, you just changed side because it made you feel good. Which is the only reason you used to support China in the first place and you openly admitted to it before.
>All this theorizing about "breaking the imperialist order" is fun and games, but in the end I have to pay my bills.Ok cool, me too. So does everyone else. What’s your point? We can’t discuss geopolitics because you have to pay your bills? Fuck you
>Would it objectively help the global anti-imperialist movement, if my country would be suddenly nuked? Maybe. But I personally wouldn't benefit from it. This is certain.Nobody advocated for Germany to be nuked, we advocated cooperation between the EU, Russia and China. This shows again that you are a brainlet, a theorylet as well as booklet.
Take a look at the pictures I sent, where did they advocate for the nuking of Germany?
Honestly, I’m disappointed by your reply, if you really think what you wrote you should leave politics because it’s obvious you can’t think of ideas and things as something other than the absolute caricature of what they really are.

This whole thread is full of orientalist, eastern-worshipping pathetic cuckolds who hate their own western culture. It's almost as bad as the wapanese japan obsession. And when you point out that their hate of "anglo ideology" is nothing more than idpol, no different from the fascist hate of "kike ideology", they pull these amazing mental gymnastics trying to convince you otherwise.
I'm sure not everyone on this site is a self-hating westerner, though. It's quite sad that idpol of this caliber has now infected this site and even the jannies, or whoever runs that leftypol twitter account, is fully complicit. Can't wait until the next split.
As for this "eceleb/influencer/streamer", he's nothing but a wannabe who copies vaush's exact style of streaming and discussion and pathetically tries to build a follower base on *leftypol* out of all the serious marxist communities on the internet.

It is also a member of a rival imperialist bloc headed by China. They invaded Georgia and now Crimea to increase their sphere of political influence and tighten their grip on foreign resources. Crimea is mostly Russian already, but the Tatars are a distinct people. Haz is nothing but another one of putin's cock holsters.

It's like with tools, their primary existence is in their use (Zuhandenheit), they only become dead objects (Vorhandenheit) when they break down.

This is why you can't obsess over muh dictionary definition. The meaning of a word can't be found out by opening a dictionary or referring some other ultimate authority which somehow creates an unbreakable bond between a word and its meaning. Meaning is actually created through interaction with other meanings. A word on its own without any connection to other words is always totally meaningless.

Hey Haz, you're a retard and there is no genocide in Palestine. All Palestinians in Israel are full citizens with full civil rights, including freedom of movement and the right to vote. There is no apartheid in Israel.
Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt are apartheid states that refuse after generations to give citizenship to their Palestinian populations. Israel has tried for decades to find a fair solution, and has supported the two-state solution since the beginning (with the sole exception of Netanyahu). Palestine has responded with endless war crimes, atrocities, suicide bombs, hijacked airplanes, and rockets launched at civilian targets (also a war crime). The 1948 war was one in which all the Arab states united in an attempt to exterminate the Jewish people after Europe failed. The Jews have the right to be independent in their native land. All Palestinians in Israel are full citizens and make up 20% of Israel's population.
Furthermore, Palestine's population has increased by 500% since 1948. What kind of a magic genocide makes your population quintuple. Israel gave Gaza total independence in 2005 - Gaza is free Palestine. They have no Israeli occupation, no Jewish leaders, their territory is completely free of Jews (for the first time in 3000 years), just the way Arabs apparently like it.
In exchange for freedom, Gaza has responded with war crime after war crime after war crime. Gaza receives billions of dollars from around the world including USA and Israel. They could use the money for anything they want - and the territory has a lot of needs. They could build infrastructure, schools, hospitals, public transport, parks, gardens, pedestrian-focused mixed-use green urban planning, universities, industries, tech, a water treatment plant, sustainable electricity - literally anything.
Instead, they choose to buy expensive war machines and expensive rockets for the purpose of shooting civilian targets in Israel. Israel is home to both Muslims and Jews, as well as a variety of indigenous groups such as Druze and Bedouins who are persecuted by pan-Arab colonialism elsewhere in the region. Gaza's war crimes target all of these groups. As a result of Hamas's insistence on spending its money on war crimes rather than development, they have produced a blockade, and Israel and Egypt were both forced to close their borders to Gaza. This situation wouldn't exist if the Palestinians in Gaza had elected competent, non-genocidal leadership. Gaza's leadership holds its own population hostage. They use civilian infrastructure to launch missiles into Israel, and they use human shields when Israel is forced to neutralize their war machines.
If Gaza changes its mind and decides that it wants peace, Israel would lift the blockade and open its border overnight. Egypt probably would too. The people of Gaza would be able to travel freely throughout Israel and the West Bank. The situation in Gaza is entirely the fault of Palestine, not Israel. Israel has been sitting at the negotiating table since 1948. Whenever Palestine is ready to stop committing war crimes, they will be able to normalize their relationship with Israel. Palestine is free to make that choice.
There is no systematic effort to kill Palestinians or erase their culture. They are allowed to practice "being Palestinian" freely in Israel; they have total autonomy in Gaza, and ideally they will eventually be given control of the West Bank as well. The vast majority of casualties are the result of war crimes committed by Gaza.

So in other words, you have a
tidy box for when and where the character is making theory, and another
tidy box for when and where the character is merely uh… charactering. This neat and clean separation allows you to
add epicycles remove unnecessary character clutter from his magnificent theory. So just because he fabricated stories about how his sessions with his patients went and how the cases actually developed – as one can see from his private correspondence and unpublished material – this doesn't mean that the theory he built on these fabrications is tarnished, because you put the theory in another box.

He basically contrasts it with the idea of neoliberalism, calling it a fake story we're being fed of a competitive free market society where dog eats dog, when in reality our economy is socialized, banks are bailed out and hedge funds are protected. He makes some points about capital today being moved according to social signals (from politicians, deals made with other companies, pentagon, reptilians) rather than simple profit motive. The benefactors of this socialism/socialized economy are obviously the rich, but the idea is that all the working class needs to do now is just seize political power since all the institutions capable of organizing our economy in for a *real* socialism are already in place.
Whether you agree with calling it socialism, I think it's an interesting line of thought, and I *beg* you people not to dismiss them just because you don't understand immediately what they're saying. They are actually quite good at communicating their beliefs at a layman's level when they aren't banging their chests and measuring their theory dicks against smartass leftypol faggots.

>>2982To be fair, Haz says that those are not new ideas and that they come from the Marxist-Leninist tradition. I think they come over however as really edgy and cooked up because they use some unorthodox terminology, like saying "we already live in socialism" and all that. They integrate thinkers like Deleuze and Heidegger who are not usually the first stop in any Marxist-Leninist reading group, which confuses people, but as far as I see it, their politics are not antithetical to Marxism-Leninism and are usually correct. You know with most theory YouTubers, they have dogshit politics. Take Cuck Philosophy for example, he doesn't misrepresent the philosophers he's talking about (ironically, except Marx) but you already know he's got dogshit politics because he's some kind of left-com/ultra-radical d00d or whatever. With infrared, they offer the opportunity of integrating modern, overlooked philosophy into a solid political framework along the lines of Marxism-Leninism without selling out/compromising on the issues. That is a synthesis I can support even though I disagree on some of the theoretical shit they are saying but I'm tolerant of that because it doesn't lead them towards political blunders in praxis.
When you watch my discussion with him I tried to push into that direction you are insinuating here, that those phenomena are not new but "I wouldn't call it socialism" because a lot of this stuff is already in Lenin etc.
Watching this clipped debate is pretty horrible though because I talked faster than I expected, swallowing some words.

I don't even think he is THAT bad, but he is clearly unable to admit when he has made a huge error of retardation. If he would simply admit "yes, i was wrong, strikes are direct action and direct action is therefore good, infact, the most important thing a communist can do, when done correctly" it would be fine, but he has this online streamer mindset where he just isn't going to back down no matter what cos he has to win muh debate.So instead of saying "oh i didn't think of it like that" he says "yeh its not direct action is ontological disruption"
Has he ever read any book even by any trade unionist about union organising? Fucking doubt it. If he had he wouldn't be continuing to argue its not direct action. Until he admits it, I'm gonna be here, calling him a retard, with nuance, cos some of his takes are okay.

Was planning to address some people specifically, but since so many people still don't understand Infrared's message, I figured everyone should be reading this.
Even those who purport to understand and even be mildly approving of Infrared's vision of socialism don't seem to get it completely. "We live in socialism" is not just a "propaganda tactic", it is a reflection of reality overlooked by dogmatic Marxists. The Anglo mindset is to stick to a rigid definition of socialism popularized in the 19th Century and expect it to be sound in the Digital Age of the 21st Century. It's not that these definitions of socialism are outdated in essence, but the words taken to express them are operating in a bygone framework. In other words, no, Infrared would not fucking look at the demands made in the Manifesto and say "they're wrong because they're outdated!" At the core these things are pointing to a material force that corresponds to socialism, but the substantive demands themselves are not "tenets" of a socialist "doctrine".
This perfectly lines up with why Infrared attacks the Anglo mindset so frequently. Here's a quick and dirty analogy of the Anglo brain rot: The Anglo has an apple. He places it in a box labeled fresh produce. Three months later, he gives the box to his friend as a gift. The friend tastes the apple inside the box, and announces that is obviously rotten. The Anglo flares up with indignation: "What do you mean, it's fresh produce!" If the apple corresponds to the material forces behind socialism, then the Anglo autism box labeled "fresh produce" is your shitty definition of socialism.
Also, Haz does not refer to the "centralization of capital" as "socialism". It is the opposite, he very clearly explains that he is referring to the "decentralization" present in a infinite cyclical process. So no, he is not just referring to the immediately obvious phenomenon of capitalism you can get from a cursory glance at Marx and Lenin's works. The decentralization compared to the state capitalism of the first half of 20th Century is the victory of socialism.
And even if this shit is just a "propaganda tactic", it is actually quite effective; just not to some of you dogmatic Marxists with a preconceived Anglo definitions of things. To an average person, nobody is going to call you a revisionist or Nazbol or whatever the fuck because they don't have an attachment to their preconceived idea of socialism. So, in other words, watch Infrared and grow the fuck up.

If the apple corresponds to the material forces behind socialism, then the Anglo autism box labeled "fresh produce" is your shitty definition of socialism. If you're not defining socialism in concrete terms relative to the mechanisms, or lack thereof, of capitalism, then your definition of socialism is already bankrupt. The mechanisms of capitalism, and thus the contradictions within it that push us towards socialism or ruin, are fundamentally the same as they were in Marx's time. Yes, you can place other developments such as the dominance of finance capital on top of such mechanisms, but the mechanisms themselves remain unchanged. As stated, Socialism is defined relative to these, and thus a proper definition of socialism should encounter no issue. There should be no "rot" so to speak.

in addition to Marx, but hearing the words "we already live in socialism" when they are most likely opposed to what they currently live in is not going to win you support, and thinking otherwise is nothing else but terminally online stupidity. Saying to a worker who feels trapped within the grind of his job, his very life taken every day from him, that he "already lives in socialism" will not win them to your side, because as I stated earlier, they don't won't understand any of the convoluted ideological background to that statement.

This is easier for me because I don't give a shit about socialism or communism or buying into a brand-ideology. If the communist parties can't do shit for me and have no real idea what the fuck they're here to do, why should I want to join them or support them in any way? Very few if any people are swayed by political marketing, because there is no competing with the ruling ideology and how aggressively it has been pushed. All the things that are worth fighting for still are related to this looming eugenics question that no one seems to give a shit about.

No.3106
>>3095The "rigid definition of socialism" didn't exist in the 19th century. Socialism around the time Marx joined the fray was a mishmash of everything from social conservatives to technocrats to a variant of the Jacobins. The doctrinaire definition of socialism is the fruit of positivism and the "religion of science" that afflicted much of philosophy in the 19th century, which attracted a certain sort of person. In the late 19th century, you had variants of socialism that were ominous like the Fabians, and to most normal people, that WAS socialism - a decidedly anti-worker socialism.
The obsession with doctrinaire Marxism is a peculiar positivist view that Marx himself reviled. It sort of got a new lease on life with Lenin, who was ruthless about enforcing the party line just to keep his organization together; but the revolution in Russia succeeded not because they consulted the holy text from the prophet Lenin, but because Lenin was a fairly capable politician and there were enough pragmatic Russians who were determined through sheer force of will to not be dominated by foreigners. Communism in Russia, and in China today, gets its credibility because it offers the only serious front of opposition to the imperial countries, rather than someone buying Communism in the supermarket.

*it should be noted though that the wealth of old money foundations, trusts, networks, and so on is still far more than the "official" richest billionaires list. However, the way in which this property is dispensed changed considerably. The reality is that oligarchic families own more of the world than they've ever owned in the past, and the "wealth" people pretend they own doesn't mean much at all.

>>3105My takeaway from Haz is that he's more about philosophy than presenting an economist view, and he's basically chiding leftypol for being economists (among a million other things). That's why people are so triggered over "we're already living in socialism", because many people here have bought into the "socialism" brand and can't seem to get that socialism could turn out to be a bad thing.
>>3107He means nothing. Of course Capital is presenting a model with a number of unique takes that weren't found in earlier political economy. The hilarious thing about those who gripe about the neoclassical economists is that Marx was getting the ball rolling on questioning the law of value, in line with growing criticisms of the whole field of political economy that were not unique to Marx. A lot of Volume I is Marx laying out the implications of the law of value, and not just "the law of value is bad because it's mean". A lot of it could even be taken as a reducto ad absurdum on the LTV; that if labor were the source of value in the economy and the free trade system was built around that premise, then it would produce an unstable world market with regular collapses, and because of that the money that commands labor is suspect from the outset.
To really get this, you need to understand what the neoclassical school was attempting to do with economics, and why it was so necessary to get on the utilitarianism train that was in vogue with liberals. That's what a lot here don't get, that they thought the neoclassical school was disavowing labor because they were afraid of acknowledging labor and created a lie. The reality is that the neoclassical school was ready to move on and crush the workers, could do so, and thus it could be declared that labor was effectively worthless, because where else were the workers going to go?

And yes you fucking need Hegel to understand it, and no it's not enough. You have to actually live it, not even memeing. Which is kind of what Infrared is saying.
I have a small issue with Haz on this, he's right on a ton of points (although he explains them in the most roundabout way possible), but by his own admission, marxism-leninism can only emerge from "within" the society, it cannot be imposed upon it, and infrared wants to communicate this fact from a top-down fashion, because they believe politics is downstream from online stuff. It's true to a degree, especially right now during covid. They are setting some things in motion which are entirely respectable if you actually understand what they are saying, which eugenics-kun is entirely counter from and also the "pure" economists. They've already shaken up some of the people here and exposed them for what they are (bourgeois marxist economists), but they are missing the other part, the part on educating in a clear and precise way why that is.

The anglo shit I kind of get it "instinctually" because locally, people around me are prone to superstition. Those that aren't superstitious, replace the superstition with "muh science" which is some variant of hard-core positivism or scientism. In marxists circles, that manifests as hard-core positivist marxism (marxism-leninism as a hard science with almost divine qualities). Here it manifests as pure economism ("waste no time on hegel!").

To begin with, dialectical materialism is a far later development, with historical materialism being what was actually utilized by Marx and Engels. If you read Hegel, you also know that what Marx uses is nothing like Hegels dialectics. Marx's use of Hegel's dialectics isn't to use to wholesale, but rather to "break it", to use it as a way of modeling general historical trends and the emergence of new forms of production. It is not a practice in actual dialectics.
No.3137
>>3130Capitalism isn't a "system", it's a situation. Based Red Kahina described the situation re: covid world quite well.
Anyway, in Marx's lifetime, he and Engels wrote about the bourgeois socialists, and you have to remember that in Marx's time, the bourgeois socialists were the majority BY FAR. Marx and Engels were specifically warning their readers about the bourgeois socialists, and the bourgeois program was socialist.
It's always funny that people talk about "superceding capitalism" when they can't even describe what replaces it beyond "it's when the workers (which workers?) own the means of production". Socialism would be one of many possible new situations, with its own characteristics and inherent contradictions, and it does not necessarily mean an improvement for the better. Like it or not, we live in an environment that is quite removed from the commodity-form at the base level. It's just that we have this thinking that we live in a marketized "free" society that tells us capitalism is in force, and that's why we can't have nice things. The reality we live in is that we are ruled by people who are very aware of what they are doing and who have set out to win the war against their subjects, and they've been winning pretty hard for the past century.
And I will never shut up about eugenics, because you cannot understand the whole 20th century without understanding the eugenics program and what it means, and that eugenics never stopped for a moment. You can't draw a line from 19th century science to the postwar era without speaking of the eugenics movement, which at a time was so hegemonic that no one could go against it, that eugenics was a force in the Soviet Union (and hence why it became so critical for them to slander Lysenko and make him a Russian Mengele somehow).
As for Haz's marketing, it's pretty clear he's mostly trying to get a left audience that is already tuned in communism and has some familiarity with it, and wants to dig deeper into the theory - i.e. what political theorists generally do. This might be a surprise to you, but the vast majority of people are not as stupid as you seem to think. It's not that this stuff is completely over their head and they're too feeble to get it. If normies do have an opinion on communism, they usually wind up hating the few communists they might have met - because what they see are "Marxoids" who teach this absurd parody of anything Marxism-Leninism was doing. I know I couldn't stand socialists for a while because I associated them with exactly that, when I was pretty normie politically and didn't spend much time reading the theory.

This is like something you might unironcially read in a postmodernist critique of Marxism, but somebody then decided that Marx actually argued in such terms. Capitalism is a system, to try and have us twist our heads around till our necks are broken so we can instead say "Actually, it's a situation because all economies exist only in terms of a certain contextual situation" sounds like an attempt to sound smarter then drone actually is.
>Anyway, in Marx's lifetime, he and Engels wrote about the bourgeois socialists, and you have to remember that in Marx's time, the bourgeois socialists were the majority BY FAR. Marx and Engels were specifically warning their readers about the bourgeois socialists, and the bourgeois program was socialist.I think you are misrepresenting what "bourgeoisie socialism" means here, and what Marx's critiques in terms of this are. Bourgeoisie socialism is not literally socialism or a new state of things, it is a delusion in terms of what capitalism as a system entials and how it's mechanisms operate. The accusation of "bourgeoisie socialism" was one levied mostly at individuals such as Proudhon, whom Marx saw as one of many who wished to simply make the worker into a bourgeoisie, and that when all were bourgeoisie, one could simply participate and enjoy in all that capitalism offers with none of it's contradictions or the flare of up of revolutionary sentiment. For individuals such as Proudhon, all people could simply share as being collective bourgeoisie in their own cooperatively held MoP, accumulating together with no internal issues arising. This "bourgeoisie socialism" as Marx puts it, is nothing more then a false march to a New Jerusalem, a fantasy given to the workers that placates their once negative disposition towards the bourgeoisie, and makes them believe that a bourgeoisie class is not inherently a faulty concept. The other "Bourgeoisie Socialism" Marx discusses isn't socialism at all as well, but rather bourgeoise individuals offering up reforms in the context of the capitalist system in what is nothing more then a justification for both the system and their continued existence, an argument for their "necessity". As he puts it:
<Free trade: for the benefit of the working class. Protective duties: for the benefit of the working class. Prison Reform: for the benefit of the working class. This is the last word and the only seriously meant word of bourgeois socialism.<It is summed up in the phrase: the bourgeois is a bourgeois — for the benefit of the working class. >It's always funny that people talk about "superceding capitalism" when they can't even describe what replaces it beyond "it's when the workers (which workers?) own the means of production". Socialism would be one of many possible new situations, with its own characteristics and inherent contradictions, and it does not necessarily mean an improvement for the better. Like it or not, we live in an environment that is quite removed from the commodity-form at the base level. It's just that we have this thinking that we live in a marketized "free" society that tells us capitalism is in force, and that's why we can't have nice things. The reality we live in is that we are ruled by people who are very aware of what they are doing and who have set out to win the war against their subjects, and they've been winning pretty hard for the past centuryBullshit. I have literally never described socialism primarily in terms of workers owning the means of production whenever I discuss this with you, I have always put it in terms of it's mechanisms, or rather it's superceding of the mechanisms which define capitalist production. To move past the use of circuits of capital and commodity production, and engage instead in social production for use. It's "improvement" is that of us avoiding the alternative, which is the inevitable ruin of the classes, or a regression in production to what will wholly result in an eventual return to our current state over time. Socialism is something based in necessity, not a fantastical want of it. You state we are removed from the "commodity form", but this has zero basis outside of personal emotional appeal. Commodity production exists and is as integral to capitalism as it has ever been.
>And I will never shut up about eugenics, because you cannot understand the whole 20th century without understanding the eugenics program and what it means, and that eugenics never stopped for a moment. You can't draw a line from 19th century science to the postwar era without speaking of the eugenics movement, which at a time was so hegemonic that no one could go against it, that eugenics was a force in the Soviet Union (and hence why it became so critical for them to slander Lysenko and make him a Russian Mengele somehow). Both eugenicists and Lysenko were idiots, Lysenko was just a useful one. I'm telling you to shut up because this is always your fallback when you need to shift the dicussion from something you clearly do not understand to a position you feel you have knowledge in, and it's always an attempt to further its propagation as opposed to making a concrete argument backing your previous statements or staying on topic.

>As for Haz's marketing, it's pretty clear he's mostly trying to get a left audience that is already tuned in communism and has some familiarity with it, and wants to dig deeper into the theory - i.e. what political theorists generally do. This might be a surprise to you, but the vast majority of people are not as stupid as you seem to think. It's not that this stuff is completely over their head and they're too feeble to get it. I never assumed people were stupid, but I do know how most will respond to being said such a statement, and that's because I am not terminally online. What a fucking dishonest attempt to throw to the side what I stated. Haz has also stated that his work is based on trying to make Marxist Leninism a mainstream movement again, something which workers are more open and accepting to. Saying a bunch of positions which require one to understand Deleuze and Heideigger first is not how this is done, and this isn't based on a view derived from elitism, but one from being a fucking working person. If you start your platform off of "we already live in socialism", you will not be seeing the results you desire.
>If normies do have an opinion on communism, they usually wind up hating the few communists they might have met - because what they see are "Marxoids" who teach this absurd parody of anything Marxism-Leninism was doing. I know I couldn't stand socialists for a while because I associated them with exactly that, when I was pretty normie politically and didn't spend much time reading the theoryYeah, and used to be immersed in the far-right and rather extreme pro-catholic apologism. Then I actually had people push aside my misconceptions on Marx by being blunt with me in terms of what I was incorrect on, and led me to investigate Marx further. That's part of why I know that "Marxoids", Haz, and you are all derived from the same breed, the group of people who care nothing of actual Marxism, but instead spend their days trying to engage in the laughable integration of their clearly emotionally baked views into Marxism, with varying degrees of failure, while trying to justify it with the slimest of defenses.

Historical materialism doesn't exist in a vacuum. Dialectical materialism a statement on how reality functions, it is way more far reaching then what historical materialism entials, which simply is a materialist view of observable historical trends. Marx's use of dialectics lacks Hegel's foundation for its use, and thus it lacks anything reminiscent of dialectics proper.
>Assuming you meant that marx thought it could only be used for historical materialism, you are wrong. He even explicitly mentions how he played with it in the first chapter of Capital, not in the context of historical materialism but in the development of the commodity form.But not as dialectics proper. His use of dialectics is simply to model what is already observable and can be shown to occur, but in a way divorced completely from Hegel's "logic".
>Wrong again. It is a coherent world view that was "mystified in the hands of Hegel". Marx doesn't "break it" whatever that may mean. Modern Hegelian scholars even maintain that Marx's dialectical method is not that distinct from Hegel's.No, modern Hegalian scholars do not. In fact, we had more then enough Hegalian autists on old leftypol that made this very clear. Marx uses a very specific part of Hegels dialectics, that being the three value, and this is something Hegel himself was critical of. In fact, what could could be seen as the three value involved a more "harmonious" integration as opposed to what Marx uses.

>>3095Yes, I think most people now understand where they're coming from but I would regard this as a hypothesis. The whole idea of decentralization and deterritorialization of capital in the 21st century needs to be proven. I'm extremely sceptical of whether that's truly happening. Especially because they base this theory on people like Deleuze and Baudrillard, who could be the most big-brained philosophers ever, but have a reputation of being not rigid in terms of scientific evidence. Especially late Baudrillard. Is demanding evidence and exemplification inherently Anglo? Let's not be ridiculous.
There is another thing that I disagree with, simply from a PR perspective.
No matter how solid your theory is, claiming that we already live in socialism is terrible propaganda. Especially since you still more or less agree with classical definitions of socialism or socialistic demands. It seems to me that they only seem to want to challenge dogmatists, but then at the same time you can't praise Jimmy Dore as some sort of authentic
dasein if you yourself remain trapped in Anglo university discourse, even as an antithesis. I sincerely hope that Infrared understands this and becomes more programmatic and succinct ("What is Infrared" is a fucking 2h video) as they grow and reach out to more people and not just a bunch of autists on /leftypol/. And hopefully drop that slogan of "we already live in socialism".

Materialism by itself already holds the primacy of the material world as opposed to consciousness being what determines reality. Historical materialism deals with how our society develops from our relations of production, what general main modes of production can be observed, and if a tendency in terms of how human society develops and transitions can be seen, and why. This is largely done by mapping out observable historical trends.
>Marx, Engels, and Lenin all think you're wrong, but maybe you're on to something. Who knows.Possibly Lenin might take some issue with my statement, but not Marx and Engels. Hegel was exceedingly less important to Marx, being very aware in his particular use of dialectics (which largely don't even come from Hegel himself), and this is very clear later on. Engels draws some larger conclusions with some allusion to dialectics, but those conclusions are still based on a more "Marxian" dialectic then Hegel's.

>Commodity production exists and is as integral to capitalism as it has ever been. (a) So the problem is that we exchanged monetized objects, and if we just had something like money but not really money we'd resolve the problem? That's stupid and goofy thinking. There are definite historical reasons why money arose (and not one of them was that "money is inevitable" or "money is natural", because we can make executive decisions without monetary units as such and have to do so all the time). (b) There was commodity production long before capitalism. The reasons for the extreme fetishization of commodities are more recent than the free trade system, and have everything to do with growing EUGENISM YOU DOLT.
(c) The commodity form doesn't really exist the way it did in the 19th century "acquisition" phase of the free trade system. It's very attractive to believe it still exists if you buy into the petty-managerial or petty-bourgeois myths, but what is the financial reality in which we live? It's derivatives, outrageous levels of speculation and a fictitious economy in the stratosphere, where oligarchs own nearly everything worth owning and rent extraction is stronger than ever. Actually producing a good or service is a secondary concern to those who own and manage the world's wealth, and as I said, the loci of power and wealth in America and the world are basically rich forever regardless of circumstances - they arrange their society in such a way that if the rich ever face risk, they can print infinite money and make the plebs suffer with austerity. Commodities still exist, but they are not the driving force since the 20th century began. The purpose of our society isn't to make shit, but for the owning class to exercise its power in the way it deems fit. For a period in the 19th century, when oligarchs were on the rise and the new wealth of oil men and technocrats could compete with what was then old money, capitalism worked sort of like Marx's description. In the 20th century, those oligarchs became the old money, and merged seamlessly with what is left of the old aristocracy. In the 21st century, old money behaves literally like the nobility of feudal times, complete with endowing vassal with noble privileges (which is what a university degree basically is, among many other things - including the revival of selling noble titles as a fad for a while).
Your drivel is so out of touch with reality, and out of touch with where communism is going. It's going away from this New Left, synthetic left structure that was erected during the 20th century, and you just can't handle it. You can't deprogram yourself. I know the feeling, it takes work to unfuck the vast majority of Anglo-Marxism's history. It's a lot easier for me because I never was invested in Marxism, never got into the fad of calling myself a Marxist or identifying with the socialist brand. But it was still difficult to overcome the cancer of what passes for the left the capitalist world.
Where I'm at right now is seeing more and more communists turn on the ecologists. I never thought the day would come, but the current actions of the oligarchs have made it impossible to pretend that ecology is anything but the old eugenics project coming back yet again.
You're not getting where I come from. I personally don't give a fuck what Marx said, or who is the most authentic Marxist. I give Marx credit, because I believe Marx was a lot smarter than you and most of the fools calling themselves the true Marxists. I can understand not just what Marx wrote, but the context in which he was writing - and you have to remember that all his life, Marx remained distant from mainstream socialism, and the Marxists were never the most powerful "socialist" faction until 1917. You also have to understand that Marx was not unique, and was a product of the new philosophical thinking that prevailed in Europe and especially in Krautland. Talking to you, it's like you treat the works as a holy bible, instead of the reality that Marx was an angry asshole and never really finish Capital or was able to explain what the hell he just wrote. I can't blame Marx too much - he can't make the horse drink water and the revolutionary intelligentsia seemed determined to self-sabotage - but in all likelihood Marx just got it wrong and, as many early Marxists did, fatally misread what was happening and would continue to happen in 1870-1920, and then they completely botched it when fascism rose. You have today so many people who don't GET what fascism was - that fascism really was the future of humanity, just arrived early, and that fascism was what "socialism" wound up becoming.

At the end of the day, though, you have to ask how it was so easy to turn intelligentsia away from the Soviet Union, and you can't say forever that it was a nasty conspiracy of the CIA. That doesn't explain the rapidity of intellectuals showing their true colors, people who knew full well that the Cold War was based on a pack of lies. Nor can you keep blaming the workers forever, or Earl Browder. The reality is that, even though they repudiate socialism in any historically existing form, the fascist narrative and its faux-revolutionary character wasn't a flash in the pan. It maintained a base in America and the western powers. If you talked about a program of reform, you could be slandered as a "fascist" for suggesting policies like nationalization or collectivization or public virtue. Yet, this let the true fascists monopolize "popular" politics, and that was ruthlessly abused once it had fomented long enough, starting with the neoliberal turn (and neoliberalism really is just fascism with computers). By the 1980s, all discussion was entirely on the terms of fascism - or more accurately, on the terms of the eugenics project, which Hitlerism was created to facilitate. The Soviet Union was founded on a genuine revolution, and there were still a few curmudgeons who believed in the cause of human liberation and defeating class society. But the Russians never really did have an answer to fascism, and they had to cave to that most hated of beasts in the 1980s - ecologism. Gorbachev, for what it was worth, pushed ecologism strongly compared to other Soviet leaders, and… well, look at what happened. By the 1990s, all the currents of actions were in favor of the eugenics movement, and the old eugenics foundations - never really died - made ominous moves and announced more of their agenda, now that the opposition of the USSR was moot. You might say that the Russians simply lost the war, and it's true that a whole lot of them were trying to fight, even as their society was rotting from within. But they did lose, and it was remarkably easy for rot to be exploited in the new eugenist order. It worked in Russia, and it worked especially when in the social experiments America began in the 1960s, that stepped up in the 1990s.
So the USSR can claim to be the inheritors of communism, whatever that was supposed to be - but communism was alone in the world, and it was in a losing battle. There never really was a sense of what the USSR would be doing - the gist of it at the best of times was "do it like in America, but without a bunch of rich parasitic assholes", and at the worst of times it bought into the same kinds of social experiments the Americans were doing. The rest of the world turned to "true socialism", or they were just aligning with the USSR because America was fucking with their politics. The theory of socialism had rotted away, and what was left was this garish construction of the nasty, miserablist elements of the left. For so many people, that IS socialism, and rightoids are not wrong in calling it such. The new fascist movement repudiates any solidaristic politics, except those that are offered by the fascists directly. It's the thinking behind the stupidpol types who dress up their Hitlerism with Marxist aesthetics. (Do they even bother pretending they're Marxists anymore?) No one is actually convinced that they're defending capitalism (usually when someone claims to be defending capitalism, they're morbidly coping with a world that is stacked against them and believing that it's about the money instead of the people). All defenses of capitalism are really defenses of Social Darwinism, explicitly and unapologetically. The cancerous synthetic left types, of course, cave to this platform, because they're afraid to say the name -
EUGENICS - and if they did, they can only muster an argument that eugenics was mean and bad. But eugenics was at the core of everything, and the Social Darwinist dogma that prevailed would be meaningless without a eugenist, genetic, biological base that could become self-perpetuating. The "knowledge economy" libs fetishized for a while is a fallacy, because information and data do not operate as they believe.

Can you describe a socialist mode of production in detail, what classes or organizations of people exist within it, its actually existing institutions? Can you explain the everyday exchanges that occur in the socialist mode of production, the way past economic orders were understood, and potential economic orders could be hypothesized? A persistent brain rot among socialists is that they have a hundred million different ideas of what socialism actually entails, and no one seems to have a straight record of it. The promise of something new, because capitalism is mean and bad and I don't like it, doesn't automatically serve as an answer. If you hate the free trade system, you are left with the unenviable task of figuring out how the hell else things could be done. The problem with this is that economics as a field, the very concept of money, is rooted in a simple need to appropriate objects, and you can't speak of "economic modes of production" without the miserable business of who is oppressing whom. Saying you're going to abolish capitalism, abolish the rich, abolish everything that makes you feel bad, just leaves you with a non-answer. It's performative, anarchist politics. There's no there there when you're talking about "socialism" or a "new socialist man". The fascist strain of "socialism", though, has a new system which is rapidly establishing, and unlike the communists, they revel in open injustice. Eugenism, for many reasons, is the most expedient option for the fascist political program, and it answers a persistent problem with measuring quality in the free trade system, that basic bitch utilitarianism could never do. The maximization of the utility function became very simple - humans were to be reared like cattle, which is how the liberals always really viewed the masses. Because utility was now conflated with genetics (which it should be remembered is purely dogmatic "science" from the outset, at best only being mildly useful for studying history and eugenism is hostile to historical truth), and because everything could be said to have a GENETIC nature, the utilization of people could be baked right into their blood, at least theologically. Everyone possesses their own body in practice, and everyone is imprisoned by it. It became ideologically necessary for minor distinctions to become the difference between life and death, and it became ideologically necessary to press forevermore on the mass of people so that their behavior could be manipulated. For the past 50 years, no major technological advance has moved forward unless it served the cause of eugenism in some way, which largely meant an almost psychopathic effort put into computing (and the wealth that has been poured into tech companies to make them remotely viable is substantial - not as much wealth as is put towards the greater eugenic project and enforcement of its ideology, but tech was basically funded by the plunder of the USSR).

Shit on academia all you want, but that's what you actually learn in university, to be critical of what you read. Or at least supposed to learn.
See Muke. Guy read "Capitalist Realism" then got onto the Zero Books (lol) left-com train and doubled down with the terrible value critique in "Writings on the Wall". He was enamoured by the prose and thought what they are saying is profound, so he took on that ideology. His further "career" then consisted of getting friends with Breadtubers, IdPol harpies and schizo-insane Twitter like Maria the Witch, this process then functioned as a gatekeeper to be exposed to anything put out by those evil "tankie NazBol red fascists", hence entrenching his infantile retardation.

You are dripping with euphoria my man it’s disgusting.Coming from the guy who wrote that strikes are "ontological disruptions". And by the way, yes in many cases roadblocks as anarkiddies employ them in Western countries are often bad, because it prevents people from getting to work, alienating the working class. It's similar with eco-activists who protest coal plants but make zero effort to connect with the union there to care about the jobs that will be lost if the plant shuts down. Maoists do this shit too all the time, appearing as an external force to the workers movement with infantile/ultra-left approaches that often abandon class perspectives.

coming from the striking workers themselves, not instigated by some Maoist group or anarkiddies syndicate.

How is voting in a communist candidate into parliament who will stir shit up suddenly "indirect action"? This shit falls flat on its face and now that we clear about that we can move on to real life and correctly assert that whenever a group tried to differentiate themselves from existing movements with the meaningless slogan "direct action" they are 99% left-deviationist radicals.
The fact that you mention the farmer's strike, unbelievable. They are led by parties who you'd call "reformist" (CPI, CPI(M)) with concrete demands that don't call for socialism but rather the preservation of the subsidized, restricted small-holding system established by the INC. Meanwhile, the Naxalite MLMs call for "direct action" to blow up police cars.

physical act of applying force, such as a ROADBLOCK is materially the same as
the abstract concept of direct autism which is exactly what Haz calls the Anglo brain rot. This is your autism box sage.

So Haz argues this because strikes "require" organization and coordination right? But at its most basic level a strike is disrupting the production process, which is what makes it direct action. You can coordinate it but wildcat strikes, slowdowns, etc do still happen, and those are obviously direct action. Just because you coordinated the action at a higher level doesn't mean that interrupting production at the ground (material) level stops being direct action.

this guy is pretty intelligent and I'd love to see him destroy vaush but he's really grating with his being turned up to fucking 11 non stop. He's even approaching vaush levels of annoying with the constant fucking pretentious screaming into the mic
No.3333
>>3319Exploitation doesn't fucking matter at this point. What matters is that people are desperate and can be organized towards a unified movement unified by its desperation.
>>3322Hobos is just the most memetic expression of what I mean. All the first world lower classes - those who have to work 3 different gigs, those who can't afford an ambulance, those who face eviction fears each month - all of them are the fertile base for a populist movement akin to a peasant army of Chinese revolution.

No.3415
>>3413Depends on what your goals are. Compound exercises work out more muscle groups but if you want to specifically target a muscle, machines are fine. Sticking to a standard routine isn't going to work anyway if you don't listen to your body, what works for you might not work for others. You should have compound exercises, and there is also the issue if you just want looks, if you want the strength, the health benefits etc.
Calling people pussy or chad for their
workout routine is the most fake shit ever, it's fucking lifting, not Thai boxing or whatever.

>>3348>a strike is not even a real action but an inaction just not working lol if then the real action behind a strike is organising before itIf a group crosses a road or train tracks, but then stops moving right in the middle of that act and just stays there, would you say this blockade is inaction? Or would you maybe say that the part of the story when they were still moving like obedient citizens was the real action, and the part of them staying in place is not? Sounds like you have autism-box syndrome tbh.
