The only RNN post I saw which described it (i.e not what a faction said about the event) is as follows:

The zionist prison administration assaulted the national leader and prisioner Marwan Barghouti in solitary confinement in "Megiddo" prison.
Marwan's cell was stormed on March 6th, and then again on March 12th until his eyes bled.

>Of course, its all about punishing the yputh for having "le wrong opinions".
Call me schizo(and give me pills, please), but I think that is one of many angles including curbing competition for techbros and electoral stunt (tough on China!). However, the main one is escalating the part of the cold war that can be integrated into the domestic culture war and pursuing a new Patriot Act style legislation or something of the sort, in anticipation of the coming red scare.

Russiagate revival failed, the balloon shit failed, the Taiwan discourse of war with China makes everyone but the most unhinged retards, recoil in abject terror for obvious reasons. "The chip war" is looking more and more like a massive L. And the "debt trap diplomacy" narrative brings attention to the unfortunately timed decay of the francafrique and western neocolonialism in Africa, despite their efforts to frame everything around islamic terrorism.

So the USA needs something to sell the public on their rivalry with China, where they can be seen winning and being provoked. It's just that they have run out of arguably less clowny shit and now they are stuck beating the cyberattacks/brainwash/democracy dead horse again. Hoping that it's been dead long enough people forget it was ever alive and more effective.

It's harder to sell another cold war also because China is so integrated into the US economy unlike the USSR. It was easier to sell the Soviet reds as the other. There wasn't Soviet products in the country and a good chunk of Soviet students in the US. The zoomers for the most part are neutral towards China than a strong hatred towards China. No one believes the democracy jargon and the belief that violence may be necessary for change is increasing in the US. It is not going to end well for the US and the elite may do a hail mary to save the empire and take China down with them.

I never really got that critique of the left as being slave moralists. When the left isnt in power slave morality reign supreme among it's members but it is also true of right-wingers, you won't find many western far-righters not being slave moralists nowadays.
Slave morality is always the morality of the "weak", it's not something inherent to most political alignment.

How did the anti-woke thing start, and aside from grifters, how does it manage to persist?

Like I remember in late middleschool to early highschool being on reactionary sites ( 8/tech/, funnyjunk, uncurated youtube algorithm ) and entering a "idk what the thing we're mad about is exactly but me mad too" state about it, which probably pushed me to healthier, more leftist circles by sheer difference in vibes. Which makes sense since that's how a child's brain works, but there's adults that just take "Woke is Le Bad" as a given despite having not even an approximate definition of it.

Is it really just vibepol, or am I underestimating the grift aspect?

I think there is a grave mistake that Anarchists make, and it is to prescribe the evilness of the derivations of Marxist thought (Leninism, Maoism, Stalinism, etc.) to some perversion or revision of original Marxist thought. A certain set of Marxist sensibilities, through the natural consequence of ideological hegemony over the left, has seeped unfortunately into Anarchism; that ahistorical sensibility being that Marx was some godhead of egalitarianism, liberty, free thought, or any other principles that define subjectively socialist thought in the observers eyes, in this case being an Anarchists.

The truth is that Marxism, the actual teachings of Marx and Engels, is an inherently oppressive ideology that is IRRECONCILABLE with Anarchism.

There is no discourse between Marxists and Anarchists, just as there is no discourse between Anarchists and National-Socialists or Marxists and Neoliberals. The 2 ideologies are so divergent that an understanding, a consensus, between the 2 is fairytale.

So called "Leftist Unity," a myth, more often than not, perpetuated by and for the decaying Marxist hegemony is just that, a myth. There has never been "Leftist Unity," the Left being a nebulous exonym, given unto ideologies sharing radically divergent and some would argue, myself included, not at all related ideologies that happened, by convergent evolution to share happenstance similarity, among those ideologies being Anarchism and Marxism.

Those unholy bonds formed out of a misguided Anarchist trust for those supposed brethren in "Leftism" have only resorted in the subsuming of Anarchism into despotism and dictatorship.

Marxism is an oppressive ideology but even Marx himself rejected the term Marxist and wanted nothing to do with it. Marxism was created after Marx where you see his followers try to canonize and standardize his work, which was really Engels doing. Its where we get the idea of Marxism as made up of dialectical and historical materialism with Marxian economics. If you read Engels or Lenin, its pretty clear they didn't understand Marx at all.

>>4329
>Most of what Marx got right, regarding everything, and also economics, was also gotten right by his Anarchist contemporaries.
Not really. You don't see his anarchist contemporaries produce as thorough an analysis of capitalism. Bakunin, Proudhoun, Kropotkin etc. couldn't hold a candle to Marx. None of those people were really serious intellectuals and there are more holes in their work than an apartment block in Idlib. Sure, the are Anarchist critiques of capitalism but there other things to read in Marx. He was an amazing political analyst too. You can't reduce him down to economics either (the same mistake Marxists and Lenin huggers make). Marx was the real deal.

rightoids always suck off the police because they believe the police prevent crime, and leftoids argue against this using a bunch of metrics and statistics showing that cops don't prevent crime and are in fact just the protectors of the wealthy. But this conclusion can be arrived at entirely through reason alone, without even needing a bunch of boring long term studies. one need only ask oneself a series of questions:

>what would happen if everyone stopped committing crimes? would the state disband the police?

<No! You can't just fire thousands of armed and dangerous people just because they aren't needed anymore. They will fuck your shit up. They're here to collect a check, whether they do real work or just engage in rent seeking thuggery.
>if society stopped committing crime and the state did somehow "disband the police" how would police respond?
<by throwing a shit fit, becoming violent criminals, and basically creating the demand for the police to return through their own violent actions, creating a paradox. if crime disappears, the police become the criminals, meaning crime cannot disappear.
>if the police would not disband if everyone stopped committing crimes, because they are in fact a group of armed people who are monopolizing violence, then can it really be said their job is to prevent crime?
<No. because if crime disappeared they would stick around, inducing the demand for their services by sowing chaos.
>If the police cannot be said to be stopping crime, then what is their real job?
<their real job must be the protection of the ruing class propagandists who claim that the police are stopping crime.
>who are the ruling class propagandists who claim that the police are stopping crime?
<the property owners.

So now that the 'socialism' fad is petering out, what will be the next outsider ideology to that captures the attention of disaffected western youth? Fifteen years ago it was 'libertarianism,' and fifteen years before that it was alter-globalization and anti-establishment anarchism.

What will the zoomers and their progeny believe in? Esoteric fascism, a resurgent Kaczynski-inspired primitivism, or some other as yet unimaginable set of principles?

I agree completely about the determined aspect of our being, but that also doesnt denote "materialism" as an ontology. "Materialism" is overstated today; its an old concept that is only revived by marxists. To me, materialism begins and ends with the enlightenment, which is due to the legacy of german idealism, which marx borrows from in hegel too.
"Dialectical materialism" was not something formalised in marx and engels' works, and only became known from the state philosophy of the soviet union under stalin, the same way "leninism" was also defined as a doctrine by stalin.
The dialectical process of marx is still ideal in structure; of history fulfilling its own idea, which is the same to hegel. Marx's inversion of hegel only comes in the scientific analysis of agency, where he puts emphasis in the mass, and where hegel puts agency in an enlightened minority.
Also, the "matter" of materialism is very different in concept than what we see today, and so it is literally outdated, i would even say, with einstein's relativity (where the newtonian absolutism is the model of matter as a uniform structure).
The scientific idea of cosmic evolution to me gives Idea to its dialectical process, where we begin with physics, which turns to chemistry and ends in biology. Like hegel, i find the completeness of nature in its phenomena, and so find the fullness of "matter" in this self-movement towards life.
Neo-darwinists would say this is also true, in that life expresses the chaos of the universe, but i also think there is "idea" to the very meaning of reality in this way. To me, biology is the meaning of physics, the same way man is the meaning of nature.
politically and socially, materialism occupies the discourse of "neutrality" where it attempts to supersede our kantian subjectivity by positing the notion of an "objective" perspective that you are only allowed to argue with on the terms set by materialists. This is the strategy of both liberals and communists alike [the children of leftism] since it debases the primacy of the qualitative [by dialectical self-reference, or concrete totality] into the quantitative, "objective" gaze of "facts and logic" or "reason" or "science". Reason thus is set as an epistemology from which the neutral party speaks and all others are irrational. This is the basis of the parliaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Good points. Ancient Rome was always an oligarchic system. Full stop. End of. The republican period was only "republican" because the two consuls - the officials acting as heads of state and government - were elected and stayed in office for a term of one year and they were barred from being re-elected straight away, while the mythological kings ruled for life and they were properly a monarchic - i.e. rule of one - kind of figure, but it has to be said that them too were elected. And btw, elective monarchies or other lifelong chieftainships in some eras and some places could be more common then hereditary ones, but that's another topic.
Also, "republican" institutions, conventions and traditions survived the institution of the "principality" - what we call the empire as having an emperor in power - with Augustus until the remaining western part of the empire was finally liquidated in the 5th century, but for the most part they only served ceremonial and symbolic functions. The real power struggle was between the Senate - and sometimes there were different senatorial factions fighting each other - and the emperors. Popular masses were for the most part manipulated by one or the other for their ends.
Getting back to the republican period, the Senate and the actual ruling classes always did whatever they could to stop consuls or other officials that showed excessive favour toward the poor and the dispossessed. Everyone know the story of the Gracchi brothers - both assassinated, one about a decade after the other - but other figures were relatively luckier: sometimes auspices just read some really nasty omen on the day a certain official had to be sworn in, so the guy got wind of the thing and renounced to get in office straight away.

The end of the hegemony of the current imperial core will be a good thing, but will not mean communism is ushered in. This statement should be obvious, but apparently it isn't. Whenever people support the end of imperial core hegemony in the short term, there are always those who show up to "remind" everyone that

>1: multipolarity (an objectively emerging material condition which they call "multipolarism) is not communism,

>2: multipolarity will cause more geopolitical chaos
>3: the vilified rising star nations (BRICS+) are not communist
>4: you are duginist revisionist campist nazbol etc. if you critically support the periphery against the core.

Even more annoying than the above type of person are the JDPON (Joint Dictatorship of the Proletariat of Oppressed Nations) larpers, possibly trolls, or false flaggers, who actually do seem to pretend that the end of imperial core hegemony equals insta-JDPON. No. Obviously not. Obviously the imperial core waning in power means other countries rising in power. Obviously a new imperial core could form, just as it has in the past. Obviously the center of gravity of capital will continue to move around.

I think the real non-caricature hope among Communists is not that the end of imperial core hegemony equals insta-JDPON, but rather that, it will become harder and harder for imperial core capital to simply repeat the tricks of underdevelopment (coups, sanctions, embargoes, brain drain, destruction of fixed capital in warfare, etc.) which made it oh-so-easy for the core to use the periphery as a cheap labor source. Once "foreign" workers are, on average, just as cheap as "domestic" workers, due to equal levels of development, there will no longer be an incentive to outsource or brain drain. And once that happens, there will no longer be an easy scapegoat for reactionary politics. The domestic bourgeoisie will no longer be able to blame the foreign proletariat for "stealing jobs" and so on. International class consciousness will be on the rise.

Multipolarity, which is an emerging material condition, and not an ideology, is not an improvement in the mode of production itself, but an improvement in the potential conditions for raising class consciousness and encouraging international Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>For Reagan not only saw communists as parricides, but also as extremely active sexually-completely in contrast to the actual sexual code in most communist countries. For instance, when he ran for Governor of California, one of the central themes of his campaign was β€œthe mess at Berkeley,” a place where, he said, they held β€œsexual orgies so vile I can-not describe them to you,” promising if elected to β€œinvestigate the charges of communism and blatant sexual misbehavior on the Berkeley campus.” A good part of the reason why he was elected was that, as one biographer put it, β€œhidden away in the hearts of parents was the fear that their own children might one day go away to college, grow beards and march against authority.”… Reagan promised these voters that his first targets as Governor would be the students at Berkeley, β€œadvocates of sexual orgies, drug usage, and filthy speech,” who wanted only to β€œdisrupt the academic community” and who therefore must be brought under control immediately. The situation at Berkeley, he told a woman’s club in April of 1966, was now so bad that their β€œmorality gap is so great that we can no longer ignore it.” He had proof, he said, that the Alameda County District Attorney had just investigated a student dance which had turned into β€œan orgy,” where they had displayed on a giant screen β€œpictures of men and women, nude, in sensuous poses, provocative, fondling.” Since Reagan had waved a piece of paper in the air during the speech, saying that he had the report of the DA’s investigation β€œin his hand,” curious reporters later asked the DA for a copy, only to be told that β€œmy office made no investigations of the college dance.” - Lloyd deMause, "REAGAN’S AMERICA"

You can even see this sort of mentality in people like Ben Shapiro who conflate communism, socialism, and "the left" with rebellion against all authority and goodness for the sake of mindless pleasure. Not to mention the endless obsession with LGBTQ+, qanon pedophile theories, porn, abortion, etc.

What is the actual materialist explanation for the right wing obsession with sex? Does porky get some sort of benefit from everyone being a heterosexual monogamous who goes to church once a week? if not why the backlash? is it just to ensure a constant supply of new workers?

Successful revolutions are, always were, and always will be the result of the popular uprising of the masses. While a vanguard party serves to strengthen and rally the masses to rise up against exploitation and imperialism, ultimately it is up to popular will to carry the revolution to victory.
A good example of this is the Islamic Revolution in Iran (I will skip over explaining why the revolution was historically progressive, feel free to do your own research). The Shah ran a powerful national security state but was nevertheless deposed by the sheer number of people in support of Khomeini – who acknowledged that his victory was only thanks to popular will. No amount of spying nor sabotage could stop the waves of people occupying the streets of Tehran, just the same as no police force being able to quell riots in 2020 in the USA.

As far as I can tell, surveillance is the purview of Blanquists, fascists, and anarchists, and not a concern for the revolutionary vanguard. Curious about your input though.

not really sure what you mean by all this but all i have to say is that if you think surveillance isnt necessary to stop counter revolution you really lack an understanding of history and exactly how stalins paranoia was justified to the point where he actually wasn't paranoid enough. at an absolute minimum for a starting point you have to know that nato was arming and training german/nazi partisans like the werewulf brigades to do terrorism and sabotage behind soviet line from 1945 all the way into 1956 with stalin dying in 53 not to mention the whole korean war thing with biological weapons and threatening to nuke moscow over opposition to the fascist italy/turkey/iran/taiwan coups. thats just while he was still alive without getting into vietnam and the abn/wacl, green berets, sas, special forces and jsoc being founded by ex-nazi ss officers, ibm and the holocaust, phoenix program and darpa/arpanet etc etc etc. throughout all this the soviets only had suspicions and they were later proven to be correct yet not even they understood how far reaching and pervasive the absolute degenerate insanity of standard oil and british petroleum would stoop too over getting cucked out of galacia and baku. they were literally the same people, linked the bush family that financed the holocaust and would later move to texas and get into us politics.

from the other side not worrying about surveillance means you are being complacent for when palantir and meta eventually stop only giving data to israel and border patrol and start sending the cia lists of people who make pro-communism posts on social media. counter examples to your iran example - indonesia, jakarta method, and all the places it was also implemented in, not to mention cointelpro for domestics. now imagine that but with facebook and twitter

The liberal revision of history and radical individualism fostered through education and media makes ideological arguments greatly biased against revolution. Which leaves offering material improvements, tangible benefits for the worker. And that hinges on not getting bagged or co-opted.

The point is you never get there because the revolutionary movements get nipped in the bud, before even *they* know they are a threat. And the discontent keeps getting channeled into forms of false consciousness like culture war spats or electoralism grifts over and over.

Marx's labor theory of value is derived from Adam Smith and Ricardo. It states that the value of a commodity is more or less equivalent to the average hours of labor it takes to produce it. It can explain why you will never be able to exchange a pencil for a fancy car.
You can find the core of it in the first chapter of Capital, beginning with considerations about utility and market exchange. It's a dense text, but it's a valuable thing to read, several times even, to be more knowledgeable about economics.

I would also agree that austrian "economics" is primarily moral in nature, with its transcendental critiques like "praxeology" and its rationalistic discourse of "human action" taking precedence over empirical reality. But thats why the chicago school (sowell, friedman, etc) has always been superior to the austrian cultists.

<le mudpies critique
this is peak QTDDTOT. this is chapter 1 volume 1 shit. Not even brainlets like Bohm-Bawerk stoop to the "mudpies" critique. Marx explicitly states it has to useful labour producing a commodity with a use value. Sitting around polishing a turd is not useful labour.

if reading Capital is too hard; at least watch this

No. This is addressed within the first few paragraphs of Capital
