A state is far too fragile and unstable if one incompetent leader can condemn it to death. The ground rules of the state should be such that such a situation is as unlikely as we can make it.
In a hypothetical USSR 2.0, how could we prevent a Khrushchev 2.0?

So I've been reading some commie-adjacent texts about labor organizing and all of them emphasize the importance of organizing logistics and industrial workers near big port cities like London or Portland, since these workers are in close proximity to each other and have real leverage over the capitalists in their ability to shut down supply lines and halt production.
So what about the other 90% of the workforce which isn't employed in these areas or sectors, and are just working shitty service or office jobs, producing or controlling nothing essential, in random bumfuck nowhere suburbs? Are they powerless? Can they be organized at all?

Pic related was one of the worst McCarthyite snitches, gave the feds tons of dirty laundry on the CPUSA leadership as well as the names of hundreds of communists working as teachers in NYC. She justified being a rat on the basis that the CPUSA manipulated her, ruined her life, purged her from the Party, and then sent KGB agents out to stalk her (which is probably bullshit but whatevs); also the priest who brought her back into the Catholic Church told her she had to snitch in order to be forgiven of everything she did when in the Communist Party. Valid? You be the judge.

Horst Wessel Lied sucks ass, Erika, which is a song wehraboos soyface all over (no clue why) is also very mediocre, I don't understand how anyone could enjoy that song. Most Nazi songs are like this. Cara al Sol, a fascist anthem of the Francoists, is genuinely one of the worst songs I've ever heard. Look it up to see for yourself. And yes I know by saying Western fascists I'm generalizing a lot, but idgaf, the impression I get from them is that all their songs are very similar, bland military shit.
Now let's take a look at Eastern fascists, specifically from the Balkans (yes I know the Balkans are not Eastern Europe but it's not Western Europe either, ergo they go into the broader "Eastern world" for this analysis), from the Middle East, and the Caucasus.
Two Serbian songs I'd like to show you guys, I know most of you are already very familiar with turbofolk but first check out this Chetnik song, the original lyrics apparently were written in 1941 iirc but this version idk what year it's from
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptfEU4KghHw&ab
There's something about this song. It's weirdly inspiring in a way, it has a good melody, good voice, overall pretty good song.
And coming back to turbofolk, I also want to post this shit. You all probably know this song by now, It's far more rightoid and unapolegitically so but it's still a good song imo. Again goes to show that Serbian rightwingers for whatever reason actually make good music, as opposed to other European rightoids, particularly Western Europeans
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETQmQ1Ixv5Y&ab
Moving on to the next song, a Turkish fascist song from the Grey Wolves. Again with this one, just like the first Chetnik song, this one inspires you. The melody, rhythm, it makes you want to go and fight for Turkey. I'm going to assume the translated lyrics are not the best so we can only base ourselves off of the vocals but they don't dissappoint. Can't really describe it any further, it's just a really good song imo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4W2rBYmbY6w
For the last song, an Azeri song about, I'm assuming after looking at some translated lyrics, Karabakh belonging to Azerbaiyan or some shit like that, you know typical blood and soil shit. I don't know how to describe this song properly, it's a rap but also has a very nice melody and rhythm, can't really elaborate further than that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDc6iw2EeJs
To conclude this post, besides sharing some songs I think are pretty good, I wanted to see if we could have a discussion as to why these songs are better than typical fascist/quasi-fascist music. Is it actually a thing about Eastern vs Western fascism? Or something unrelated to the actual content of the songs/their creators?
Eastern fascist music is better than Western fascist music
Before any autist spergs out, no I'm not a fascist, I'm not saying fascism is good or anything like that. This is about the music they make (or quasi-fascists, nationalists, etc). I think we can all agree that the typical fascist music we are used to is awful. The music made by Western fascists such as in Nazi Germany or Francoist Spain is more often than not very boring, uninspiring, and repetitive. All those Nazi miltiary marches sound the same, they're all quite mediocre.Horst Wessel Lied sucks ass, Erika, which is a song wehraboos soyface all over (no clue why) is also very mediocre, I don't understand how anyone could enjoy that song.

HOLY FUCK RIGHT WINGERS ARE SENSITIVE
I used to think it was leftists that were the overrly emotional and stupid ones as a teen before realizing it was the other way around just today on my 22nd birthday. I went to 16chans pol board and briefly stated the fact to the neo nazis and reactionary thing members on that site that they would all get shot by the u.s. and european police force if they tried to execute their autistic ideas and they ended up crying over the thread, deleted it for portraying reality and then the next fucking post was dedicated to left wing censorship, on ordinary /pol/ all I had to say was not all black men are criminals for a fucking shitstorm of autistic retards to start shilling and bumping my thread in anger before turning the entire post into a reddit circlejerk. Its get even better(most of the right view themselves as intellectually superior especially male reactionaries due to watching too many sjw owned clips on youtube and browsing the abhorrent mess that is twitter every fucking day without ever bothering to get into debates with someone with opposing or different views that actually bothers to read something in their god dambed lives) when you meet them in real life because they will say abhorrently retarded shit in public and all you have to do to see them meltdown is stand up for yourself and they'll endlessly seethe if not freakout in public like what happened with that white lady screaming in a fucking walmart about wanting mexicans to go back to mexico. Fuckin love those guys not because I like em but because I like laughing at em

Working class people settled for the smallest accomplishments believing having a house and a car is freedom, choosing politicians that sell them fear and hurt the people over politicians that sell them welfare. Academic leftists are still digging their mile deep graves isolating themselves; working class people is always spoken of as foreign herd that is threading away form the path academics wish.
What truly pains me is how easy is it to be a communist but nobody wants to go for it, join a union, vote communist, and get a gun but people will fight tooth an tail to do none of this, will make the most empty excuses and nothing will get done and now all the instruments to give a voice to working class people are dead our same future is dead.
People do not deserve communism, they chose this fate and they deserve the 72 hour workweeks with no benefits until global warming kills us all. This is not the fault of the ideological apparatus or the material conditions, this is people's fault for buying bullshit instead of their own wellbeing.

I have never been as supportive of jewish bankers and israel as I am now
I can understand why theyre disliked in much of the planet but when you stop and look at societies that have alot of them vs societies that dont or what humanity was like when they were persecuted vs today you kinda want them to hold alot of power. one only has to realize that through the near 100 years when apartheid allowed white minorities to rule the country there wasnt a SINGLE year where homicide or poverty rates declined until apartheid ended and the ANC sold the country off to central bankers or why MENA is a fucking hellhole for most arab muslims compared to israel whos apartheid laws are noticeably less hostile towards nonmuslims. I dont like or hate jews but christ knowing this at least makes me want them to keep israel for themselves despite their actions towards palestinians

>Rock music played a role in subverting the political order of the Soviet Union and its satellites. The attraction of the unique form of music served to undermine Soviet authority by humanizing the West, helped alienate a generation from the political system, and sparked a youth revolution. This contribution was achieved not only through the use of words or images, but through the structure of the music itself. Furthermore, the music was spread as part of a broad public diplomacy effort, commercial ventures, and through the efforts of the populace in the Eastern Bloc.
>In the 1960s, The Beatles sparked the love of rock in the Soviet youth and its popularity spread. In August 1976, Cliff Richard became the first Western rock act to play behind the Iron Curtain, playing twelve concerts in the Soviet Union; twelve dates in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg) and eight in Moscow. Throughout the 1980s, a number of Western acts performed behind the Iron Curtain, including Elton John (who is often incorrectly cited as the first Western artist), Queen, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Ozzy Osbourne.
>Despite the attempts to stifle the native rock movement, the underground survived and managed to create a different culture that many would flee to. Identification with this subculture would make one less susceptible to Soviet propaganda and ideology and less likely to view the West as a threat. "The kids lost their interest in all Soviet unshakeable dogmas and ideals, and stopped thinking of an English-speaking person as an enemy. That's when the Communists lost two generations of young people. That was an incredible impact." Even if the individual did not enjoy rock for political reasons, because the political system was opposed to it, merely listening to music was an act of disobedience. By extension, active participation in the underground made one an active agent against the regime, as far as the leadership was concerned…The inability of the Communist regimes to eradicate, replace, or assimilate the influence of rock music probably did much to ensure that the populace would turn against the totalitarian system.
So what does /leftypol/ think? did rock and roll destroy COMMUNISM?
Were the soviet authorities right to consider it bourgeois and subversive? Or was it just a generation gap between the older generation and eastern block boomer youth? What is the proper leftist stance on rock (or any music genre for that matter)?

Here are the questions for this month; please don't feel pressured to answer every one if you don't want to, if you have no strong opinions then you may simply leave the question out of your response. Feel free to write as much as you like but please try to answer our quantitative questions as well as this helps us to interpret the results objectively. So, without further ado, here we go.
Question 1: The moderation team wants an evaluation by the userbase on their performance since the migration to leftypol.org in a few categories. Give a number rating with lower being worse and higher being best and a brief comment on performance if desired.
On a scale of 1 to 10 how quickly do the mods respond to rule-breaking content?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how do you think the mods have lead to a /leftypol/ conducive for quality discussion?
On a scale of 1 to 10 how well do you think the moderation has responded to user complaints and requests for the site and boards?
A simple yes/no, do you think the structure of the site overall is the best it could be as structured by the moderation?
Question 2: Thinking more generally about the way that /leftypol/ is now, the moderation would like to know exactly how the users feel about the composition of threads. Feel free to briefly comment to expand your thoughts if you wish.
Do you think that there are (A) too few generals, (B) just enough generals, or (C) too many generals in /leftypol/?
A Yes/No, do you think the prevalence of general threads is impeding the creation of worthwhile smaller topic threads? IE is the US general impeding the creation of more nuanced threads about US politics?
If you believe there are too many generals or that some specific generals are not befitting the status of being generals, you can list the offending threads here if you wish.
Question 3: Further about generals, a recent idea proposed was a new board – a geopolitics and news board, to move most of the generals (like usapol, China, DPRK, ect) to along with other topics that are more centered around geopolitical topics, leaving /leftypol/ to be less about news and geopolitics and more about theory and its discussion.
A simple yes/no: Do you think that this is a good idea?
As as additional question, do you think that there should be a board ONLY for country generals, while leaving news generals on /leftypol/? Do you think this is a better idea than a geopolitics board, a worse idea, or do you think they are both terrible?
Would you be inclined to use only /leftypol/, only the new board, or both if either of these ideas were implemented?
Question 4: Another category that needs evaluation is the character prerequisite for OPs, rate them by the following scales and include a comment if desired.
On a scale of 1 to 10, do you think the prerequisite has helped remove spam topics from /leftypol/?
On a scale of 1 to 10, do you think the prerequisite has prevented good or quality threads from being made?
A simple yes/no, has the prerequisite ever disincentivized you from making a thread?
Question 5: We are interested in collecting more feedback about how users would like /b/ to be moderated. Please select which one of these statements you most identify with?
/b/ should not be moderated at all, except for outright spam (IE machine spamming), it should be a complete free-for-all.
/b/ should be moderated very sparsely, only to remove outright Nazi posting and similar /pol/ content, users should be free to express themselves however they like.
/b/ should be moderated to a moderate degree in order to remove the above content as well as blatant idpol so that it does not become a de-facto 'idpol containment' board.
/b/ should be a comfy off topic space similar to the old /leftytrash/, therefore it should be decently moderated in order to ensure a nice atmosphere for users. Absurd or random posts should be allowed to stay but the above content should be removed as well as repetitive spam like soyjacks and so on.
My view is dissimilar to all these options (please write out your views).
Some have said that the name of /b/ creates confusion, and expectations that it should be similar to 4chan's /b/. Do you believe that the name should be changed to something else? If so, what?
Please also note whether you personally use /b/, and what 'grade' you would give to /b/ at present, from 1 to 10.
Question 6: A new proposal has recently posed the idea of integration with a webring between niche imageboards (https://anon.cafe/boards.js) (image provided) by /leftypol/ as a way to increase our exposure to other imageboard users, similar to when we started on 8chan, as well as helping niche imageboards survive. The webring is composed largely of splits from 8chan, some before 8chan was destroyed and some formed after. The webring allows us to blacklist members we don’t like from appearing on our list, and vice-versa. leftypol/ and /b/ currently would be placed at and near the top of the webring by PPH and activity. Of these categories, pick whichever ones you feel best describe your opinion.
It will be positive, granting the possibility of new posters to /leftypol/.
It will be positive, bringing new OC to /leftypol/.
It will be positive, it will bring new posters and allow crossover events and content on the alt-boards (/hobby/, /games/, ect).
It will be positive because it creates a more unified grouping of chans.
It will be negative because it will invite unwanted posters to the site.
It will be negative because it will change /leftypol/’s board culture.
It will be negative because it creates incentives for our posters to browse other boards.
I think it will not have much of an effect on /leftypol/ either way.
Other (feel free to comment on what).
Question 7: A short one - do you think that the page size (the number of threads displayed per page) should be increased from 10 to 20?
Yes, I do, because it will make it easier to see more threads and for threads past the first 10 to thrive.
No, I don't, because it might impact performance on some devices.
Other: Please let us know.
Thank you for your time, we appreciate all feedback!

It will be positive because it creates a more unified grouping of chans.
It will be negative because it will invite unwanted posters to the site.
It will be negative because it will change /leftypol/’s board culture.
It will be negative because it creates incentives for our posters to browse other boards.
I think it will not have much of an effect on /leftypol/ either way.

Question 7: A short one - do you think that the page size (the number of threads displayed per page) should be increased from 10 to 20?
Yes, I do, because it will make it easier to see more threads and for threads past the first 10 to thrive.
No, I don't, because it might impact performance on some devices.

So, Marx was influenced heavily by Moses Hess. Moses Hess was a Zionist and believed that it was true socialism. This establishes that communism has a connection with Zionism. Marx also had Jewish ancestry (lots of which were rabbi's) and his 3rd cousin was a Rothschild and Marx received money from the Rothschild family via Lion Philips. One of Marx's key tenets for socialism was a Debt based banking system. Later the federal reserve would be made by 6 Jews. Hopefully this is enough to convince you that Marxism is a Jewish ideology.

If the communists preach that we must learn to divide everything, why not divide their wife or girlfriend? Why? This is entirely within the revolutionary parameter of Communism. The human instinct is deeply rooted in the sexual impulse, sexual communism is the only way to destroy sexual machist territorialism. If they studied the animal kingdom more, they would see that the feeling of ownership by the territory and by the females is very strong in several species, such as lions and wolves. These even delimit their territory by urinating on several tree trunks around it. How do you want to change the world if you can't change yourself?
The guy wants me to divide the value of my work but doesn't want to divide his wife's thighs with me? Divide only what is convenient? Communist is all hypocritical.

This person was complaining about their job the way the world was, all the usual stuff. So there was the typical exchanges between this person and myself and other people. Everything was alright, I thought they were being steered towards a more socialist position. However, suddenly one of these people revealed themselves to be a fascist(they didn't call themselves that, just a follower of oswald mosley). What surprised me was the effectiveness of their rhetoric with regard to the way they were able to formulate the problem of one of overproduction.
This is where it gets somewhat complicated. Many on the left(leftypol is one of the few exceptions) stop their analysis at this same point, that the reason capitalism has crisis is because of overproduction. And as such, fascists are able to use this same exploitation to talk about "matching inputs and outputs". Which is what i saw happen in this instance. They were able to deploy a lot of marxist rhetoric to convince said person that managing inputs and outputs could fix all the problems of the world. They sounded like david harvey, who in case you don't know is one of these marxist economists that believe the only cause of crisis is overproduction.
So here's the puzzle. I as a communist know that such a thing is impossible. Money relies on profit to function which in turns means exploitation must continue. It's not really a solution to any average worker. BUT how to deploy this in any convincing fashion rhetorically? It would sound pedantic to attack someone advocating matching inputs and outputs(still within capitalism) by bringing in an entirely new concept like how money functions. We're talking about people that are 3 hours into questioning their surroundings. However because I couldn't challenge this, this person—at least in the short term— was lost to the fascist side of politics.
So i've put some thought into it and the only thing i've come up with is to try and turn it around by saying we already have fascism. Or to challenge anyone (whether socdem or fascist) to state how they would in detail manage the economy differently than the current people in power. That would open the field to get into the mud over the essence of money and profit and all the rest. But i'm not entirely satisfied. So share some ideas of where you steer a conversation when you're trying to proselytize to someone and win them over from socdem/fascist rhetorics.
Rhetorical Strategy
I'm not immersed into these political debate chatrooms so I'm hoping someone here can provide some ideas.

White House embraces “Wuhan Lab” conspiracy theory
>On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden publicly embraced the conspiracy theory that COVID-19 may have been released from China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, ordering the US intelligence agencies to produce a report within 90 days into the potentially man-made origins of the disease.

This is so contemptible I can hardly find words to express it adequately. Another big lie. An even more dangerous and bigger lie than that of Colin Powell and WMD in 2003. I hope that my friends who support the Democratic Party read this article, although the majority of them will ignore it. They are completely unprepared to learn about the crimes of their pet politicians.
The Biden administration was already determined to have war with China, it was obvious from the beginning. The lies about "ethnic cleansing" of Uigyurs were a testing of the waters. Now here comes the enormous lie about Covid-19 – straight out of the Trump playbook. And the co-option of Dr. Fauci is the icing on the cake. I wonder what they threatened him with. The murder of his family? The whiff of stench from the torture of the victims of the Moscow trials of the 1930s seems still to hover over this madness.

So what happened to all of that whining about healthcare and unions? There's loads of people in poverty in America today in the midwest and south, and those people have to constantly worry about rent, and are stuck in poverty with loads of debt, drug addictions and no social mobility at all. Is there a reason there's no effort whatsoever put towards organization of anything at all?

French regional elections a ‘democratic slap in the face’ to Macron and Le Pen
RESULTS in the French regional election were described as “a democratic slap in the face,” with disastrous showings for both centrist President Emmanuel Macron and far-right Marine Le Pen’s respective parties. Ms Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) secured a national vote share of just 19 per cent in Sunday’s poll, nine points lower than the last regional elections in 2015.

Labour Muslims infuriated by insinuation that Keir Starmer’s opposition to anti-Semitism caused ‘haemorrhaging’ of their votes
On Sunday, the Labour Muslim Network (LMN) sent a letter to party leadership, decrying a comment made by an unidentified Labour official to the Daily Mail. The source said the party was “haemorrhaging votes among Muslim voters, and the reason for that is what Keir has been doing on antisemitism.” Keir Starmer, the official said, “challenged Corbyn on it, and there's been a backlash among certain sections of the community.”

RESULTS in the French regional election were described as “a democratic slap in the face,” with disastrous showings for both centrist President Emmanuel Macron and far-right Marine Le Pen’s respective parties. Ms Le Pen’s National Rally (RN) secured a national vote share of just 19 per cent in Sunday’s poll, nine points lower than the last regional elections in 2015.

Labour Muslims infuriated by insinuation that Keir Starmer’s opposition to anti-Semitism caused ‘haemorrhaging’ of their votes
On Sunday, the Labour Muslim Network (LMN) sent a letter to party leadership, decrying a comment made by an unidentified Labour official to the Daily Mail. The source said the party was “haemorrhaging votes among Muslim voters, and the reason for that is what Keir has been doing on antisemitism.” Keir Starmer, the official said, “challenged Corbyn on it, and there's been a backlash among certain sections of the community.”

Turkey's constitutional court on Monday accepted an indictment seeking to disband the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP) for alleged links to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militant group, paving the way for a trial that could fine or permanently close the country’s third-largest party.

Iranian communists call for working-class unity against illegitimate theocratic regime
The Tudeh Party of Iran (TPI) said in a statement that the turnout in the election, the lowest in the history of the Islamic republic, was a damning indictment that called into question the legitimacy of the theocratic regime. TPI said that the “scandalous show of the election,” in which hundreds of candidates were barred from standing, “marks a decisive turning point and an end once and for all to the theory that the Islamic regime in Iran can be reformed.

Iran president-elect takes hard line, refuses to meet Biden
Concerning the talks over Iran’s nuclear deal, Raisi promised to salvage the accord to secure relief from U.S. sanctions that have devastated the Iranian economy. But he ruled out any limits to Iran’s missile capabilities and support for regional militias — among other issues viewed by Washington as shortcomings of the landmark deal that the Biden administration wants addressed.

Makabayan Bloc seeks probe on death of 3 Lumads in Surigao del Sur
“The brutal massacre of civilians by forces of the 3rd [Special Forces Batallion] is highly condemnable. The killing of civilians and the desecration of their remains are gross violations of the Comprehensive Agreement on Respect for Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law (CARHIHL) and International Humanitarian Law,” the Makabayan lawmakers said.

Within socialism society pays collectively towards both maintenance of the society and towards growth in the form of childcare, when society pays equally and collectively towards childcare, if population growth becomes too much of a burden on society in some way then it is felt by all equally
Within socialism, the surplus that would have become the private profits of capitalists is instead used to maintain society as a whole, in a way this is a form of collective taxation. The surplus of that surplus is the overhead for growth, in a way this surplus-surplus becomes what is effectively the budget society has for childcare/population growth. So in collectivizing society and sharing equal burden, what happens is you create a dynamic system in which growth responds naturally to the environment and resources available.
By turning the maintenance of society into a collective burden, the costs that capitalism obfuscates are stripped away and you are left with a physical, material carrying capacity based upon the maximum surplus of society. So what happens within socialism is that you should see a period of population growth followed by an eventual stabilization and leveling off. This equal cost is why socialism is the only answer to ecological crisis, because only when the cost of ecological crises manifests as a real cost for all people collectively can real collective action be taken against it.
Neither natalists nor malthusians understand socialism.
None of you get it. There are so many people here who want to argue for natalist policy, or bachelors tax, or for degrowth and population control. But literally fucking none of you actually understand socialism and what collective ownership actually fucking means. Capitalism as a system obfuscates the environmental and material costs of society, collectivism strips away those obfuscations.Within socialism society pays collectively towards both maintenance of the society and towards growth in the form of childcare, when society pays equally and collectively towards childcare, if population growth becomes too much of a burden on society in some way then it is felt by all equally

Some months ago I asked about the possibility of Christianity being a Jewish psyop. What sealed it for me was the Siege of Jerusalem, and all the inexplicable anomalies which occurred there; the comical fulfilling of "prophecies", not by some divine hand, but by men. Jewish men.
In my researching of the Hierosolymite lepers' exodus from Egypt, I came across the writings of Thomas Dalton, who is basically 10 steps ahead of me on many of the Jewish historical questions. I am quite impressed with his writings, he has published many books under Castle Hill, which recently became CODOH's publisher.
While reading about Dalton's book, Eternal Strangers, about the behavior of Jews throughout different ages, I stumbled upon this essay of his. It makes a great case for why Christianity is a Jewish tool. I've long held the belief that Christianity is simply a way for Jews to predispose non-gentiles to their exploitation. This guy knows his shit, and covers this better than I ever could.
If you're dismissing the possibility and find the idea preposterous, you need to ask yourself
>Would Jesus get the Vax?
I think you'd be lying to yourself if you answer anything other than: "not only would he get the Vax, he would be its biggest shill."

Think about it, they are professionals who work to serve others and the fact that they have a wage that is often times exceeding that of other workers it seems as if they are a good source of reactionary sentiment. Waitresses often times commit credit card fraud with their money and shit and you also have to figure in the fact that most service industry people are white college educated adults, so it is highly likely that such people will turn out to be neoliberal and woke types in the end.

The list of banned series includes isekai anime KonoSuba and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, comedy horror anime Zombie Land Saga, comedy romance Nekopara and harem anime Princess Lover!.
>"The court has ruled that, for example, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! promotes reincarnation beliefs by showing that after death there can be a more full and interesting life, free from control of one's parents. The world after death is shown to be colorful, full of adventures and offering an opportunity to lead an indulgent life full of drinking, sexual relations and unlawful activities, while the real life is shown as joyless and filled with loneliness."
Hopefully a wakeup call for leftist weebs who advocate for censorship to protect the children unironically. Has it ever occurred to you that isekai is dangerous because a child watching isekai MIGHT commit suicide to be reincarnated? No? And why is that? Maybe just maybe there is a difference between fiction that is blatant wish-fullfilment disconnected from reality and suicide cult propaganda?

So I know what capital is but what gives capital it’s characteristics? And if capitalism is capital reproducing itself in ever expanding processes, then what is it? Does this mean that capital only producing commodities which is what the end product of capital is? No this can’t be because that would be engaging in commodity fetishism. If generalized commodity production is then a phenomena of capitalism then in appearance capitalism looks like a world of exchange values and use values in which is the limits of bourgeois economy because on the surface commodities seem to rule life. But if commodities are nothing but a phenomena and nothing but something taking place in the surface then what is actually capital doing?
If the subjective essence of capital is labor then the product or the commodity appears as the central issue and generalized commodity production the fundamental issue of capitalism. But what then is the objective essence of capital and capitalism?
Capital could only be capitalism if it reproduces itself and so the true essence of capitalism is a social relation. And even more fundamental is the conditions for such a social relation to exist. Predicate to the existence of capital is the deprivation of the means of production from the immediate producer whether that be the land, tools, machinery etc. but that’s not the only deprivation, capital itself must be deprived of labor itself: people. And so the fundamental conflict appears to be dead labor vs living labor and those two being deprived of the other. Capital (dead labor) is useless without the labor process (living labor) but in order for capital to be capital it must continue to keep itself separate from living labor and living labor separate from it, with commodity production being the mediator between the two. And so the true essence of capitalism is capital reproducing a social relation continuously in increasing size. So if capitalism’s objective is to reproduce this social relation why do so many people take commodity production as the true essence of capitalism. Or “changing hands” into that of the state? If the point of communism is to abolish this relation of production to a production in common then it follows that capital will seize to exist in contradiction between dead and living labor. We have seen historically that it doesn’t matter which hands capital is put in, it still exists as capital and reproduces capital relations, so what is it with the misunderstanding of the nature of capitalism and it’s social relations and taking commodity production as the fundamental problem and nothing but a mediator that exists in the surface?

>The World Bank poverty numbers are bullshit because they have moved the poverty line over time
>But also, it was mostly China's doing anyway
How do you reconcile this? If it is true that the World Bank has either set the poverty line artificially low or lowered it over the past decades to produce an apparent "global reduction in extreme poverty", then Chinese poverty reduction initiatives, measured by the same metric, also become suspect. If you are going to assert the latter and not the former, I would be very interested in hearing China's definition of poverty and how it is at all superior to than the World Bank's. Alternatively, accept the former and, try as you might, you cannot ignore the latter - it has tainted any critique you might attempt to make of non-Chinese neoliberal capitalism and therefore the World Bank and its policies. Either way the critiques both suffer from being combined.
Or maybe you would assert that the gains are symbolic and meager, but even then took place primarily within China? He who asserts this latter must be a greater China critic than even Sabocat.
You can't claim both unless you are fully aware that your statement will cut both ways. So which is it, Dengists?

There is also a second chapter on Žižek but I've yet to translate that.
also sorry if the translation is a bit jank :P
>1. The anti-anti-imperialism of Žižek
>Compared to 1989 and the years immediately following, compared to the period in which the discourse on the unwept death of Marx was almost common sense, today ideological landscape is much different: there is a evident and growing interest for the great thinker and revolutionary , and authors that refer to him can sometime gain considerable prestige and popularity. So should we speak then of a revival of Western Marxism?
>Recently, the most distinguished exponent of what coquettishly loves to self-describe as "libertarian Western Marxism" hailed 2011 as "the year of the awakening of radical emancipatory politics around the world" (Žižek 2009a, p. 255; Žižek 2012, p. 163). True, the author was quick to call attention to the soon-to-be intervening disillusionment. But let us refrain from later developments to focus on the 2011 that was greeted in such flattering terms: yes, it was the year in which new protest movements ("Occupy Wall Street", "Indignados", etc.) seemed to spread like wildfire, but it was also the year in which NATO unleashed a war against Libya that, after causing tens of thousands of deaths, ended with the horrible lynching inflicted on Gaddafi. The neo-colonial character of the aggression was recognized by eminent Western press organs. And, nevertheless, Hillary Clinton abandoned herself to such an exultation ("we came, we saw, he died!"- exclaimed the then Secretary of State triumphantly) that even a "Fox News" journalist had moral reservations: in his eyes, enthusiasm for a war crime was disturbing. Unfortunately, the infamous neo-colonial enterprise we are talking about here not only did not find significant resistance in Western Marxism, but in Italy it was legitimized by at least one historical figure of this current of thought (infra, ch. V, § 7).
>Also in 2011 in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, hundreds of thousands of "indignant" people took to the streets against the high cost of living, unaffordable rents, etc., but they were careful not to question the persistent and accelerated colonization of the Palestinian territories: the "indignation" drew attention to the growing hardships of the popular strata of the Jewish community, but did not consider worthy of attention the endless tragedy of the people under military occupation. It is a tragedy described, in a prestigious American magazine, by a professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: at least as far as the occupied Palestinian territories are concerned, Israel is an "ethnocracy", ultimately a racial state.
>The colonization of lands forcibly expropriated from Palestinians continues unabated. Those who dare to protest "are treated harshly, sometimes imprisoned for a long time, sometimes killed during the demonstrations". All this is part of "a malignant campaign aimed at making the life of Palestinians as miserable as possible […], in the hope that they will go away". An ethnic cleansing is at work, even if diluted in time. We are in the presence of an ethnocracy so harsh as to recall the "dark precedents of the history of the last century" (Shulman 2012). And yet, the "indignant" for the caravan they suffered but indifferent towards the cruel "ethnocracy" imposed on the Palestinians have been celebrated, by two distinguished authors of Marxist orientation, as champions of a new society "based on community relations" (Hardt, Negri 2012, p. 66).
>And so: is 2011 "the year of the awakening of the radical politics of emancipation all over the world" (to quote Žižek) or is it the year of the awakening of the ideal of a society "based on communitarian relations" (to quote Hardt and Negri), or is it the year in which colonialist or neocolonialist misdeeds find silence and connivance even in the traditional circles of the left? By drawing their balance sheet making complete abstraction from the fate reserved for colonial peoples, Žižek, Hardt and Negri reproduce, dilating it further, the basic limitation of Western Marxism. From this point of view, the success in our days enjoyed especially by Žižek suggests, rather than a revival, the last flicker of Western Marxism.
>The removal of the colonial question is an integral part of the Slovenian philosopher's theoretical and political platform: sidereally far from the totally Other hoped for or dreamed of, the existing world is integrally dominated by capitalism; it makes no sense to distinguish imperialist and colonialist powers from countries that have recently freed themselves from colonial domination and that are still, amidst attempts and errors, trying to overcome their backwardness, to achieve full independence also on the economic level and to give themselves political institutions suited to their economic-social conditions and their geopolitical situation. Žižek is no less hostile than Arendt to the category of Third World. In fact, he is more radical. Sharp is his irony against those countries that, while referring to a revolutionary ideology and sometimes to Marxism, wave the flag of anti-imperialism: the class struggle would no longer see as protagonists "the capitalists and the proletariat in each country" but would take place in an international framework, pitting states against each other rather than social classes; in this way the Marxian "critique of capitalism as such" is reduced and deformed into a "critique of 'imperialism'", which loses sight of the essential and that is the capitalist relations of production (Žižek 2007, pp. 2 e 5).
>Once the ground has been cleared of the categories of Third World, imperialism, and anti-imperialism, as far as the present is concerned, the only meaningful distinction would be that between "authoritarian capitalism" and non-authoritarian capitalism. In the first category, China should be placed in the first place (Žižek 2009c, p. 131), but Vietnam and perhaps Cuba itself can also be included, after the recent openings to the market and private economy (at least tendentially capitalist). In any case, the countries of "Latin America" marked by a "populist capitalism," prone to caudillism and authoritarianism, must be included (Žižek 2009a, p. 450). On closer inspection, in some ways the distinction disdained by the Slovenian philosopher reappears, the distinction between the Third World on the one hand and the capitalist West (and with traditions and persistent colonialist tendencies) on the other; only now this distinction is reappearing for the exclusive glory of the liberal West, which becomes the model to which Third World countries should strive.
>In conclusion: Žižek's vision is no different from the self-consciousness of the dominant classes in Europe and the US. The observation of this convergence is not in itself a refutation. However, it is the Slovenian philosopher himself who provides the refutation. He reports the directive Kissinger gave to the CIA in order to destabilize Salvador Allende's Chile ("Make the economy scream with pain") and points out how this policy continued to be implemented against Chávez's Venezuela (Losurdo 2013, ch. XI, § 7). It is avoided, however, a question that also arises: why should the Venezuela of Chávez and Maduro be considered more "authoritarian" than the country that tries by all means to destabilize and subjugate it and that claims to exercise its dictatorship in Latin America and the world? Certainly, from the point of view of the self-consciousness of the liberal West, despotism or authoritarianism exercised to the detriment of colonial peoples is irrelevant. According to this logic, during his inaugural speech at the opening of his first presidential term, Bill Clinton celebrated the USA as the oldest democracy in the world: no attention was paid to the enslavement of blacks and the expropriation, deportation and decimation of the natives. A similar abstraction, equally arbitrary, proceeds Žižek, who does not even wonder if Washington's authoritarianism does not stimulate to some extent the authoritarianism of Caracas.
>A general remark can be made: a critique of capitalism that spares the worst aspects of this system, which are clearly evident, according to Marx's lesson, in the colonies, is very strange. A critique of wage labor that would observe a silence on forced labor would lack credibility; but the history of forced labor in its various forms is in large part the history of colonial oppression. And a Žižek-like critique of authoritarianism" that invites us to gloss over "authoritarianism" enacted against peoples, by sovereign decision of a great power or coalition of great powers, subjected to devastating embargoes or bombings and military occupation is undoubtedly misleading.
Losurdo on Žižek
So since both of these folks seems to be quite popular here I thought it would be cool to share a chapter from an untranslated book by Losurdo (Western Marxism: how it was born, how it died, how it can rise again) dedicated to Žižek.There is also a second chapter on Žižek but I've yet to translate that.
also sorry if the translation is a bit jank :P
>1. The anti-anti-imperialism of Žižek
>Compared to 1989 and the years immediately following, compared to the period in which the discourse on the unwept death of Marx was almost common sense, today ideological landscape is much different: there is a evident and growing interest for the great thinker and revolutionary , and authors that refer to him can sometime gain considerable prestige and popularity. So should we speak then of a revival of Western Marxism?
>Recently, the most distinguished exponent of what coquettishly loves to self-describe as "libertarian Western Marxism" hailed 2011 as "the year of the awakening of radical emancipatory politics around the world" (Žižek 2009a, p. 255; Žižek 2012, p. 163). True, the author was quick to call attention to the soon-to-be intervening disillusionment. But let us refrain from later developments to focus on the 2011 that was greeted in such flattering terms: yes, it was the year in which new protest movements ("Occupy Wall Street", "Indignados", etc.) seemed to spread like wildfire, but it was also the year in which NATO unleashed a war against Libya that, after causing tens of thousands of deaths, ended with the horrible lynching inflicted on Gaddafi. The neo-colonial character of the aggression was recognized by eminent Western press organs. And, nevertheless, Hillary Clinton abandoned herself to such an exultation ("we came, we saw, he died!"- exclaimed the then Secretary of State triumphantly) that even a "Fox News" journalist had moral reservations: in his eyes, enthusiasm for a war crime was disturbing. Unfortunately, the infamous neo-colonial enterprise we are talking about here not only did not find significant resistance in Western Marxism, but in Italy it was legitimized by at least one historical figure of this current of thought (infra, ch. V, § 7).
>Also in 2011 in Tel Aviv and other Israeli cities, hundreds of thousands of "indignant" people took to the streets against the high cost of living, unaffordable rents, etc., but they were careful not to question the persistent and accelerated colonization of the Palestinian territories: the "indignation" drew attention to the growing hardships of the popular strata of the Jewish community, but did not consider worthy of attention the endless tragedy of the people under military occupation. It is a tragedy described, in a prestigious American magazine, by a professor of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem: at least as far as the occupied Palestinian territories are concerned, Israel is an "ethnocracy", ultimately a racial state.
>The colonization of lands forcibly expropriated from Palestinians continues unabated. Those who dare to protest "are treated harshly, sometimes imprisoned for a long time, sometimes killed during the demonstrations". All this is part of "a malignant campaign aimed at making the life of Palestinians as miserable as possible […], in the hope that they will go away". An ethnic cleansing is at work, even if diluted in time. We are in the presence of an ethnocracy so harsh as to recall the "dark precedents of the history of the last century" (Shulman 2012). And yet, the "indignant" for the caravan they suffered but indifferent towards the cruel "ethnocracy" imposed on the Palestinians have been celebrated, by two distinguished authors of Marxist orientation, as champions of a new society "based on community relations" (Hardt, Negri 2012, p. 66).
>And so: is 2011 "the year of the awakening of the radical politics of emancipation all over the world" (to quote Žižek) or is it the year of the awakening of the ideal of a society "based on communitarian relations" (to quote Hardt and Negri), or is it the year in which colonialist or neocolonialist misdeeds find silence and connivance even in the traditional circles of the left? By drawing their balance sheet making complete abstraction from the fate reserved for colonial peoples, Žižek, Hardt and Negri reproduce, dilating it further, the basic limitation of Western Marxism. From this point of view, the success in our days enjoyed especially by Žižek suggests, rather than a revival, the last flicker of Western Marxism.
>The removal of the colonial question is an integral part of the Slovenian philosopher's theoretical and political platform: sidereally far from the totally Other hoped for or dreamed of, the existing world is integrally dominated by capitalism; it makes no sense to distinguish imperialist and colonialist powers from countries that have recently freed themselves from colonial domination and that are still, amidst attempts and errors, trying to overcome their backwardness, to achieve full independence also on the economic level and to give themselves political institutions suited to their economic-social conditions and their geopolitical situation. Žižek is no less hostile than Arendt to the category of Third World. In fact, he is more radical. Sharp is his irony against those countries that, while referring to a revolutionary ideology and sometimes to Marxism, wave the flag of anti-imperialism: the class struggle would no longer see as protagonists "the capitalists and the proletariat in each country" but would take place in an international framework, pitting states against each other rather than social classes; in this way the Marxian "critique of capitalism as such" is reduced and deformed into a "critique of 'imperialism'", which loses sight of the essential and that is the capitalist relations of production (Žižek 2007, pp. 2 e 5).
>Once the ground has been cleared of the categories of Third World, imperialism, and anti-imperialism, as far as the present is concerned, the only meaningful distinction would be that between "authoritarian capitalism" and non-authoritarian capitalism. In the first category, China should be placed in the first place (Žižek 2009c, p. 131), but Vietnam and perhaps Cuba itself can also be included, after the recent openings to the market and private economy (at least tendentially capitalist). In any case, the countries of "Latin America" marked by a "populist capitalism," prone to caudillism and authoritarianism, must be included (Žižek 2009a, p. 450). On closer inspection, in some ways the distinction disdained by the Slovenian philosopher reappears, the distinction between the Third World on the one hand and the capitalist West (and with traditions and persistent colonialist tendencies) on the other; only now this distinction is reappearing for the exclusive glory of the liberal West, which becomes the model to which Third World countries should strive.
>In conclusion: Žižek's vision is no different from the self-consciousness of the dominant classes in Europe and the US. The observation of this convergence is not in itself a refutation. However, it is the Slovenian philosopher himself who provides the refutation. He reports the directive Kissinger gave to the CIA in order to destabilize Salvador Allende's Chile ("Make the economy scream with pain") and points out how this policy continued to be implemented against Chávez's Venezuela (Losurdo 2013, ch. XI, § 7). It is avoided, however, a question that also arises: why should the Venezuela of Chávez and Maduro be considered more "authoritarian" than the country that tries by all means to destabilize and subjugate it and that claims to exercise its dictatorship in Latin America and the world? Certainly, from the point of view of the self-consciousness of the liberal West, despotism or authoritarianism exercised to the detriment of colonial peoples is irrelevant. According to this logic, during his inaugural speech at the opening of his first presidential term, Bill Clinton celebrated the USA as the oldest democracy in the world: no attention was paid to the enslavement of blacks and the expropriation, deportation and decimation of the natives. A similar abstraction, equally arbitrary, proceeds Žižek, who does not even wonder if Washington's authoritarianism does not stimulate to some extent the authoritarianism of Caracas.
>A general remark can be made: a critique of capitalism that spares the worst aspects of this system, which are clearly evident, according to Marx's lesson, in the colonies, is very strange. A critique of wage labor that would observe a silence on forced labor would lack credibility; but the history of forced labor in its various forms is in large part the history of colonial oppression. And a Žižek-like critique of authoritarianism" that invites us to gloss over "authoritarianism" enacted against peoples, by sovereign decision of a great power or coalition of great powers, subjected to devastating embargoes or bombings and military occupation is undoubtedly misleading.

They're history's victims, being treated as a plaything for a number of European Empires (Germs, Russians, Austrians, etc.). Sure, they vote for right-wing parties, but so do a number of nationalities that Leftypol doesn't shit on (Russians, Hungarians, Indians, etc.).

At the end of the day, the collective's health is the aggregate health of the individual and any individuals that perish along the way in advancing socialism have their deaths justified as being part of a long chain of events that led up to achieving communism.
Look at all of you, obsessing over gender politics and critical race theory. It's pathetic. Stalin, Lenin, and Marx would've supported your deaths wholeheartedly, and as a Tankie, I do as well. Even Marx had become too much of a pussy in his later years, which is why I call myself a Leninist-Stalinist, as opposed to a retarded ML.
Tankies are the only people in this movement to have the balls to achieve socialism BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. The rest of you should read Stalin's Dialectical Materialism book, start working out, and read up more on the Soviet Union, outside your capitalist propaganda you've swallowed from Jacobin, DSA, and all the other liberal soyboys who pretend to be on the left.

I'm of the typical view that fascism is capitalism in crisis–usually as a bulwark against the parallel rise of socialism–when liberal democracy fails to ensure bourgeois interests alone. Secondarily I believe fascism's imperialism basically derives from capitalism, as per Lenin. Thus I think of fascism more as a function of capitalism and not necessarily the characteristics derived from the function. With that said, was the Empire of Japan a fascist state? What exactly was going on in Japan between the Meiji Reformation in 1868 and the invasion of Manchuria in the middle of the Great Depression? What about its smaller imperialist ventures like the Russo-Japanese War? Did they have a socialist movement? Its economic structure? Give me the rundown. Feel free to pontificate about anything else regarding Japan in this time frame. I don't know shit obviously.
Fascism and Japan
Was Japan truly fascist, or just associated with fascism by association with the other Axis Powers (+ the contemporaneous Francoist Spain) and the similarities between their nationalism and (in some cases) brutal expansionism?I'm of the typical view that fascism is capitalism in crisis–usually as a bulwark against the parallel rise of socialism–when liberal democracy fails to ensure bourgeois interests alone. Secondarily I believe fascism's imperialism basically derives from capitalism, as per Lenin.

After 27 hurtful lonely years I have come to a conclusion and created a masterplan to getting a real life waifu. All preparations are made. I'll post this here before starting bc if it works i will never visit this place again. I'm no lunatic so I know waifus cant exist in the material world but they can and do exist in the ideal word. So my plan is in its essence to destroy the material world (atleast for me) and live purely in the ideal world were my waifu exists. How do I plan to do this? I studied german idealism quite thorougly and I understood that the power of the german idealists in its synthesis through the negation of the negation can be used to achieve this. Indeed the german idealism at its highest form with hegel was already capable of such things (it is quite possible that Hölderlins insanity and Hegels sudden death have something to do with this through secret notes from Schelling that never got translated I found diffus connectins). Now we come to my plan through year long work I saved alot of money. Quite luckily for me Hegels birthhous which is now a museum is closed rn due to renovations bc of corona these are stopped right now tomorrow evening I will break into this house and wont leave until I reread his lifework their by trying to comprehend his dialectic at his birthplace I will be able through his idealism to spiritually channel his ghost through the worlghost and will not only understand his Ideas but also Hölferlins and Schellings they will show me the way to my waifu or I will go insane trying it and will end like Hölderlin were I will think she is real both is ok in my books

As it stands now with current laws, anyone making such material will get off scot-free. I think the ideals of "freedom of expression" used as an argument in favor of keeping pornography legal will no longer be congruent with reality when things get out of hand. If you make pornography strictly illegal (like in North Korea) then that could be enough of a deterrence to prevent the creation and propagation of any pornography. So regardless whether it's a capitalist or socialist system, I think pornography may become outlawed in the distant future because things would otherwise become too chaotic. Maybe they'll make an exception for hentai, who knows. What do you think?
Should pornography become illegal?
In the future, possibly in a few decades from now, as technology progresses it will be possible to steal other people's voices, faces and bodies, and make realistic fake photographs, tapes or AI-generated "deep fakes." For example the average shmoe could scan a photo your mom and/or take the audio of your mom talking in a Facebook video and use a fake porn generator software to place her in a realistic fake video having sex with a horse, or how about political adversaries being framed with fake audio saying they want to bomb the president's car or admitted to sex trafficking underage prostitutes. While it's not a reality now since even Hollywood still can't make realistic-looking CGI, to pretend this won't eventually become a reality where anyone can record anyone's likeness with their smartphone (or contact lenses' camera) and generate 3d models or whatever of them and make fake videos / audio recordings of them is naive.As it stands now with current laws, anyone making such material will get off scot-free.

What is the use of productive/unproductive labor distinction as a concept? In theory or practice. I ask as I watched the wolff video on it today and there is a strangely unaddressed issue with it. Here's the short video in case you haven't seen it
https://youtu.be/1K4fO98KOKo
Everything he says in the video makes sense. Except that he skips over how this would be applied as an idea in an objective way. To take his example, there's no reason behind why the commodity of the solar panels is being centered here. Is it meant to be arbitrary? So that in another pass you could make the commodity of the service the secretary as the productive labor and the solar panel workers are the unproductive laborers? That's the only way I can see this being wielded consistently as a tool. But in such a case I am still unsure of what we would use this tool for in any analysis.

How do I have my own opinion on politics? To be honest I find politics, history etc. boring but I think I should have a bit grasp to it. I have never touched social studies out of watching Jordan Peterson's videos and memorizing his sentences to "own" clueless kids in highschool 2 years ago. Yeah cringe, anyways what book should I read as a beginner that doesnt have much buzzwords and explains the ideas and keeps it simple?

Long story short, I started to read his books, and man, is he fucking worth it! (For burgers: imagine Parenti, but a comrade with ten to fifty times more well read than him.)
He is an avid defender of AES and even China as it stands today. While he openly criticizes Stalin, he does not fall for the Trotskyist memes, upholding a balance between what "communism ought to be" and "had to be."
I've so far read his several essays about 'regime changes', all of which completely logically uphold the line that they were a degradation towards capitalism (reaction) and 2 of his books (on Stalin, and another one titled "War and Revolution".)
This mother fucker is the biggest anti-radlib pill, exactly because he proves how that school of thought is a huge fucking cope.
So, anon, what have you read from him, and what did you take away from the text?

>Has the NFT bubble already burst?
>Non-fungible tokens took the art world by storm earlier this year. NFTs are a type of digital asset designed to show someone has ownership of a unique virtual item, such as online pictures and videos or even sports trading cards.
>In March, South Carolina-based graphic designer Beeple, whose real name is Mike Winkelmann, sold an NFT for a record $69 million at a Christie’s auction. Jack Dorsey, CEO of Twitter, sold his first tweet as an NFT for $2.9 million later that month.

>But new data shows the NFT hype is fading. Overall sales plunged from a seven-day peak of $176 million on May 9, to just $8.7 million on June 15, according to numbers from Nonfungible. That means volumes are now roughly back where they were at the start of 2021.
>Meanwhile, prices of major NFTs appear to be sliding. CryptoPunks, one of the most popular NFT projects, fell from a weekly average of $99,720 in early May to $50,840 at the start of June. SuperRare digital art prices have fallen on average from a record of $31,778 to $5,342 in a similar timespan.
>One of the main reasons for the sharp drop in the NFT market was a sudden rise and fall in sales of new crypto collectible items called MeeBits — made by the creators of CryptoPunks — according to Gauthier Zuppinger, chief operating officer of Nonfungible.
>“The thing is that, each time you’ll notice such a quick increase on any trend, you’ll see a relative decrease, which basically stands for a market stabilization,” he told CNBC.
>Geoff Osler, CEO and co-founder of NFT app S!NG, said the digital collectibles craze was likely driven by “pent-up demand” from wealth accumulated from rising cryptocurrency prices, and that the market now seems to be calming in tandem with a drop in crypto markets.

Iran election: With a Raisi presidency diplomacy is not doomed, experts say
As Iranian and American officials hold indirect talks in Vienna to revive the nuclear deal, an electoral "one-man race" in Iran will likely propel a hardline conservative to the presidency. With current President Hassan Rouhani unable to run because of term limits, his foreign policy - that is often described as pragmatic, if not moderate - will likely be replaced with a more one under judiciary chief Ebrahim Raisi.

The ultimate blackpill, as another anon here has said before, is realizing the masses, or at least a significant minority of them, really are ignorant dullards. I've been thinking this for years but what really pushed me over was the pandemic. And the mask bullshit. All it asked for was a simple piece of cloth over people's mouths to not breathe a deadly virus onto their fellow citizens. It's not like we're asking for their firstborn son or something. But that was too much to ask. The culture war bullshit, the trolling, the conspiracies, the utter fucking delusional schizoism, all with the attention span of a fucking goldfish and the dreadful knowledge that in 5-10 years all of this will be forgotten and memory holed, daytime TV show hosts will be inviting Trump on to their shows for softball interviews and dancing, and literally nothing will have changed.
Covid only killed about 4% of people so its not that bad in the end, but now I know the truth. When push comes to shove you really can't count on other normal people. If an actual bad crisis did happen, neither the powers that be, nor the actual people themselves would be motivated, not only to do shit, but even BELIEVE THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM.
Apathy of the Masses
Why are the masses so apathetic to oppression? It seems like the vast majority of people esp. here in burgerland are totally apathetic to the problems and would either be neutral to it or in favor?The ultimate blackpill, as another anon here has said before, is realizing the masses, or at least a significant minority of them, really are ignorant dullards.

Maybe it’s just burger whites, burger whites are definitely the fucking guard dogs for capital

https://mega.nz/#F!QUFQSBja!hPbmmLolJBGwSQ848nncnw
This was originally a torrent but I can't find the link anymore. Its description was: "640 eBooks, mostly in PDF format (a bunch are CHM, DJVU or ePUB), from a revolutionary Leftist viewpoint. The main subjects are politics and philosophy, history, economics, and much much more."
Political Theory (MLM) (2.64 GB, 550+ files)
https://mega.nz/#F!4M1FnTgI!CdM8WWjpBC_UHGCJk9AHzA
I found this on reddit years ago (circa 2016) Don't really remember who made it or where it came from, but this is a reading course (politics, philosophy, economics, etc) focused on Maoism. Has many books and articles on the USSR, PRC, Stalin, Mao, etc.
The Anarchist Library (669 MB, 4000+ files)

A pdf archive of over 100 books from the Historical Materialism book series. I got this from thecharnelhouse.org years ago and the website had released many marxist books from other publishers but unfortunately it's been taken down.
/leftypol/ with a slash of liberty (239 MB, 100+ files)
https://mega.nz/#F!sFMQXJ6J!JboByVCZScC6Jq2YXE0Exw

Reading General:
Hello leftypol, we noticed an under-appreciation for the theory that upholds our political ideologies: As such, we have decided to revive the reading sticky! This thread will be dedicated to the sharing, discussing, and general banter about various leftist thinkers, theories, and political outlooks.But, other than that, we believe there are other important reads that must be addressed, especially, for beginners and those just now getting into leftism.

Comfort women
The only effective way to stop shootings and improve men's mental health and happiness levels is to have state paid and controlled comfort women. The state would identify weirdos and send pretty girls to their homes to be used as fuck toys. I know it sounds icky but there's no better solution.

>What the fuck is happening?
On April 28th, Colombians all over the country started protesting against a tax reform and a health reform placed by Ivan Duque Marquez (who many Colombians see as a puppet to Alvaro Uribe Velez, the former far-right president). One of the things the tax reform would have done was raised the sales tax on things like food and utilities, plus internet and the health reform would have made healthcare in Colombia even harder for people to receive proper healthcare treatment. All of this even when 2.4 million Colombians can't even afford three meals per day, extreme poverty in Colombia is growing, the amount of unemployed Colombians are growing, and not to mention the pandemic going on and Colombia is one of the countries in Latin America that has been hardest by the pandemic. The protests have stopped being about the tax reform since early May, which is why even when Duque withdrew the controversial portions of the tax reform and health reform, the protests continued. Now the protests represent a deeper problem that has been happening in the country for DECADES. Things like corruption in the government, police brutality, paramilitarism, the government response to the pandemic, racism, shit education system, shit healthcare system, Duque's resignation, the removal of Uribismo and Alvaro Uribe in general from any sort of governmental power, AND SO ON are reasons to why people are continuing to protest against the state.
>Okay, what tell me about the government response.
The ESMAD (Mobile Anti-Disturbance Squadron) is the riot police over in Colombia but they are essentially no different than a paramilitary death squad with all the killings, rapes, disappearances, and harm they've caused. The regular police officers have also contributed to the death count and police brutality cases. So in the beginning of the protests, there was a new group in Colombia that call themselves the Primera Linea. They basically wear masks and grab rocks or shields and start fighting against the police and the ESMAD. They tend to consist of younger, poorer individuals who have nothing to lose. Their main domain is in the Puerto Resistencia, an autonomous zone located in Cali, the main battleground of Colombia. These roadblocks have caused goods like food to not be transfered to Cali, so it keeps garnering attention every day from protesters supporting the Primera Linea to Uribistas who just want to send in the military to Cali and clear out the roadblocks and establish order. As matter of fact, Duque has already ordered "maximum deployment" of the military to Cali very recently.
>Does the media play apart in this?
Yeah, somewhat. Caracol and RCN, the most popular mainstream news outlets in the country, have been criticized for showing a lot of lootings and riots and less of the police brutality. They will either do that or they will paint the situation to a BOTH SIDES issue and that ends up producing the "ANTI-POLICE ANTI-PROTEST" people, which tend to be boomers anyway so whatever. Dead protesters would have be labeled as a "vandal", "delinquent", "or even "terrorists" every once in a while.
>Tell me a little bit more about this Uribe dude.
Alvaro Uribe Velez, the "matarife" himself. He served his presidential term from 2002-2010. Other than his connections to drug trafficking, he's known by most Colombians by his biggest atrocity and scandal, the false positives scandal, where the military killed innocent, poor Colombians in some remote place in the country and just used them to inflate the body count so they can receive more benefits and the government lied to the Colombian people about winning against those pesky leftist guerillas. This has happened before Uribe but has peaked during his presidency. The people who were killed were often labeled as "terrorists" and swept under the rug. Back to the protests, Uribe has tweeted about how the police should use violence against the "terrorists". He's also tweeted a Neo-Nazi conspiracy theory, la "revolucion molecular disipada", about how "le social justice communists" are trying to destroy the state through protests and in order to stop this from happening, the protests must be destroyed. It was a super vague tweet though, so to know what he was referring to, you have to know about Alexis Lopez, a Neo-Nazi Pinochet apologist.

Absolute Monarchy and Capitalism
Absolutism was the most dominant form of government to maintain a feudal economic base. With the advent of capitalism, it got replaced by liberal democracy. There are obviously non-liberal forms of maintaining capitalism like Fascism, but could Absolutism also make sense of maintaining Capitalism? It obviously wouldn't like before since feudal economic realities and class mechanism are here anymore, but still? Is it even compatible with a capitalist civil society?
