the funniest thing about "anti-revisionism" vs "revisionism" is that it is not something Marx ever mentioned, because he would never imagine himself as the static, unchanging root of a globe-spanning political project called "Marxism" with various branches like "Marxism-Leninism", "Marxism-Leninism-Mao-Zedong-Thought", "Marxism-Leninism-Maoism", "Stalinism, "Hoxhaism" and so on . Instead, Marx revised himself several times during his own life, moving from a framework rooted in alienation and species-being, to a framework rooted in (what would later be called) historical and dialectical materialism. Engels famously said that he and Marx's system was a method, not a dogma, and Kim-Il-Sung repeated this when innovating Juche, as did Deng Xiaoping when innovating "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics", make of that what you will. So if innovation is allowed and Marxism is a method, and not a dogma, why all the controversy about "revisionism?" If Marxism is meant to be applied to unique spatio-temporal conditions which outsiders, even sympathetic outsiders, usually fail to understand, why do outsiders always look for "revisionism" to condemn? Why not just accept that we are all striving not for "[insert the name of Great Men]" -ism but Communism and that our paths towards Communism are evolutionarily convergent from our different spatiotemporal standpoints rather than divergent from some imagined "anti-revisionist" standpoint? Am I being revisionist right now?

Let's look at how Marxists.org defines revisionism (you may disagree with each other on this very point):

> Revisionism


>A fundamental alteration of a theory, essentially usurping (though taking elements of) the former theory and replacing it with a new one. While the attributes of a theory are subject to change in accordance to changing historic circumstances, changing the fundamental basis of that theory is to nullify it in place of a new one.


Was Marx "Revisionist" when he revised himself? Who has the authority to decide the criteria for what is "subject to change in accordance to changing historic circumstances" and what is not?

I think the encouraging results of an even half-successful practice matter more than the purity of theory, personally.

It's a new international network of communist, socialist and left-patriotic parties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovintern

The ACP and Galloway's Workers Party of Britain is in it so it's gonna trigger some people. Some SocDems are in it. Evo Morales and the Sandanistas are in it. But overall I would give them a chance, considering the rather dysfunctional state of the IMCWP right now (thanks KKE).

>counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka
https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/new-counterterror-strategy-eyes-tucker
<Let’s be real: none of this is actually about extremism. It’s about the fact that Carlson, like Fuentes, recently broke with Trump — bitterly — over the Iran War. That's the real offense. So now they’re being cast as extremist threats. But to avoid alarming conservatives, the administration can't just say that — it has to first strip them of their conservative credentials, redefine them as something foreign-affiliated and dangerous, and then go after them.
"You aren't a real conservative if you don't cheer the finance pedo cabal of Jeffrey Epstein Zionists who have raped countless thousands of your neighbors" Literally the only thing conservatives care about is avoiding being cucked by globalists lol
<You don’t have to like Carlson or Fuentes (who says things like “I love Hitler” and is easy not to like) in order to see that. Consider, for a moment, the rhetoric that likely fueled Gorka’s freakout.
<Carlson has called Trump’s Iran war “the single biggest mistake Trump, or any American president, has made in my lifetime.” He has slammed the strikes as “reprehensible and immoral,” insisting the war “doesn’t serve American interests in any conceivable way” and suggesting it happened “at the behest and then the demand of Israel.”
<…that’s the substance Gorka is trying to launder out of the “conservative movement” by redefining Carlson and Fuentes as something else: in Carlson’s case, a Sharia fan.
"Islam thinks your daughters should not be sex slaves traded in the free market" yet another thing conservatives define their entire ideology around avoiding
<At this point you might be wondering why none of this has been reported — a question big mouth Gorka answers in an interview with actor-turned-media commentator Dean Caine about the National Counterterrorism Strategy. Gorka beams about how little negative coverage the media have given the Strategy, calling it “delicious.”

You are the one who is bestricken. Democratic Centralism is not Democracy. Recall is good. There is no such thing as bourgeois democracy. The people will vote to recall selected citizens they don't want to serve. Randomly selected citizens who have a stake in management decisions will serve to make those decisions. Voting by phone will not be a high bureaucratic hurdle. Random selection is progressive because it moves to eliminate the class distinction between managers of systems and those affected by them. Recall is progressive because it gives those affected by management decisions a collective veto over randomly selected citizens.

@ about 40:15 he talks about how Iran would prefer a long war or even a ground invasion that conclusively defeats the US and weakens it so much that it can't go after Cuba, and the Venezuelans will be able to take their country back.

Chud the Builder. Maybe you've heard of him. Here we have a man who has built his entire platform off of performing some of the most antisocial behavior possible. A man who is truly antithetical to the type of masculinity we promote here at HOUDINI Magazine.

At HOUDINI Magazine, we promote a masculinity that's about uplifting people, seeing people better than they are, being a pillar of your community, pro-social behavior. It's counterintuitive to this sort of grifter, right-wing, hustle-bro mentality that has been propagandized to the point where we now have men like this who build their entire platform off of hate.

The right will protect this man, and they will fund this man, and they will say they protect him because they value free speech. As we know, if you follow me, the right wing's hypocrisy about free speech has already been exposed. Otherwise I would not be facing fifteen years in a Florida penitentiary for criticizing a right-wing influencer.

So how did Chud the Builder build his platform, you might be wondering. What does he do? Does he do on-the-street interviews? Is he one of those speed runners? Does he play video games? That's what streaming was originally all about, so maybe that's what he does. No. He builds his platform off of agitation and antisocial behavior.

Tennessee is an open carry state, so he open carries. That's his right in this country. Then he goes around, finds Black people, and calls them slurs for the camera. Imagine you are with your family, your child, your wife, your children, going about your day. You stop into a corner store or gas station to get a drink for you and your kids, get a bug juice for the kiddo. And here we have this streamer who's being paid handsomely by his right-wing sycophants, and he walks up to you and calls you the N-word straight to your face, right in front of your children. But if you say anything back, then you're against his free speech.

Is this the type of behavior we want in our society? Do we, the people, really want a man who believes this is the example to set for his own children? Make no mistake: you may have bought a small pittance for your children, but you haven't secured their future.

Your child is what? And I'm addressing you directly, Mr. Chud. Your child is what? Four? Six? Based on her picturesPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

classcucks will say he "earned" that. lmfao. that every second of his life, his genius brain innovates 455 dollars into his pocket.

can a person really "earn" that much or can they only get lucky and maybe also position themselves properly in a fundamentally exploitative system? some of you will no doubt answer that he "earned" it for the sake of provocative contrarianism

>>2811914
>it's all slavery… the idea is to reduce the amount of time you're a slave.
but if the capitalist owns the means of production, then automation doesn't translate into less work time for you. instead automation translates into technological unemployment, a swelling reserve army of labor, a crisis of oveproduction, a destruction of oversupply to stabilize prices, a rise in crime and other desparate measures to stay alive without a wage, etc.

So automation does not reduce slavery, it just leaves the slaves to die when they are no longer needed.

What reduces hours and increases wage? Class struggle. But class struggle must not merely reduce hours and increase wages, since those concessions demilitarize the working class, allowing the capitalist class to slowly roll back the concessions or intensify exploitation in other ways. Instead you have to abolish class society itself.

<Only through the undervaluation or overvaluation of products is it forcibly brought home to the individual commodity producers what society requires or does not require and in what amounts. But it is precisely this sole regulator that the utopia advocated by Rodbertus among others wishes to abolish. And if we then ask what guarantee we have that necessary quantity and not more of each product will be produced, that we shall not go hungry in regard to corn and meat while we are choked in beet sugar and drowned in potato spirit, that we shall not lack trousers to cover our nakedness while trouser buttons flood us by the million – Rodbertus triumphantly shows us his splendid calculation, according to which the correct certificate has been handed out for every superfluous pound of sugar, for every unsold barrel of spirit, for every unusable trouser button, a calculation which “works out” exactly, and according to which “all claims will be satisfied and the liquidation correctly brought about. […] And now consider the naiveté with which Rodbertus would abolish industrial and commercial crises by means of his utopia. As soon as the production of commodities has assumed world market dimensions, the evening-out between the individual producers who produce for private account and the market for which they produce, which in respect of quantity and quality of demand is more or less unknown to them, is established by means of a storm on the world market, by a commercial crisis. If now competition is to be forbidden to make the individual producers aware, by a rise or fall in prices, how the world market stands, then they are completely blindfolded. To institute the production of commodities in such a fashion that the producers can no longer learn anything about the state of the market for which they are producing – that indeed is a cure for the crisis disease which could make Dr

From what I can tell this British loli vtuber, Mimi Yanagi, who is an adult, commissioned hentai of her character and posted it on her social media for her fans. The British government raided her for this art and she's now a sex offender for life and might be prosecuted for CSAM. As a condition for being designated as a "sex offender" she's now required to use her real name on all her online social media accounts, putting her at risk of real life harassment or murder/rape, all for posting drawings lol…

And yet the west calls China a "police state" when I've never heard of anyone in China being arrested and doxxed for a drawing.

I know this has nothing to do with leftism but just thought it's weird.

I also taking my dad to I think a colonoscopy and the Indian doctor had a very hard to understand accent.

Not sure if this is the right place, but since this is the gaming tab, I say why not?

Back then, GamerGate was the start of something fresh, something edgy, something that was actually rebellious against both the bourgeois moralisms stifling the internet and the feminist hegemony that no western male could escape from. It was an escape valve, in other words.

But of course, I was wrong as GamerGate later on mestatized into being another wing of the current right-wing hegemonic ChudIntern. Indeed, GamerGate was merely an exercise in online reactionary activism, but we should actually try to analyse it as opposed to dismissing it as chuds being chuds.

It’s won’t give you the kind of analysis that has probably been done to death here, such as the alienation of young men, the rise of white upper-class female idpol and the HR-style managerial culture that preceded online censorship and SJWs’ political correctness, journos forming email groups as part of a coordinated attack on the median gamer, the MSM’s double standards towards female-exclusive spaces vs treating male-only spaces (such as gaming) pathologically, etc…

This is a good summary of the event from a gamergater’s POV: https://wolfsheadonline.com/how-wikipedia-and-molly-white-rewrote-the-history-of-gamergate/

Instead, I’ll say this: The rise of the gooner chuds that you see today is a product of GamerGate, itself being downstream from the left’s rejection of sex-positivity and and pathologisation of any form of assertive male heterosexuality to heed the demands of the feminist bourgeoise that held a stranglehold on the left.

Obviously the online right isn’t really sex-positive as much as being pro-sexual hierarchy and has been the case within the western right since the days of the Nazis and even before then (e.g., Annunzio’s enterprise in Fiume). It’s just that their vision of sexuality makes enough space for male heterosexuality to attract young men (the most revolutionary demographic) into their fold. The left’s response? It’s either dumb Puritanism as shown by puriteens who think Euphoria (that show starring Sydney Sweeney) is rape culture, or bastardised “trad Marxism” about banning porn and prosties cuz muh exploitation even tho Chinese games nowadays are heavily gooned out + the Soviet bloc was lax on non-comPost too long.

you're not a bad person if you die in dark souls. you're a bad person if you complain about it, because you're infringing on the experience of people who want a difficult game to play by insisting that it be easier and more accessible to paraplegics or something.

>>46832
When a Big Media Event like Dark Souls happens, some people want to be able to experience it and possibly immerse themselves in paratext (e.g. peer discussion, theorycrafting, fan work) like the latest popular Netflix show. I think this a rational instinct, and it's the reason some high production games have a "story mode" (rather than an easy mode). In terms of labor composition, balancing and playtesting make up a fraction of the embodied value of a large game, so letting some people squander it is completely fine if they end up buying the game and spreading a positive sentiment. Nobody is complaining that I Want To Be The Guy is too hard.

The goal of Mahayana Buddhism is to become a Bodhisattva, an enlightened being who takes a vow to not enter Nirvana until they've achieved the liberation of a certain class, sometimes all classes, of sentient things.

There are many Mahayanists who are Marxists, Tenzin Gyatso included (although he's a filthy leftcom). There are also many Marxists who are Mahayanists. Engaged Buddhism is a thing, as well as humanistic and secular Buddhism.

Ceterum te certiorem facere debeo: qui procedet, in Terra Pura renascetur! Qui recedet, in inferno ardebit! Gloria Buddhae Amitābhae!

Furthermore, I must inform you, he who advances will be reborn in the Pure Land! He who retreats will burn in hell! Glory to the Amitabha Buddha!

I not only recommend the PRACTICE, but I truly think it is an OPTIMAL way of going about. Buddhism just has the most developed system of meditation in the world. There is no secular system that surpasses it, or if there is, it is a small project of some dedicated individuals and much harder to find than any mahayana sangha.

Meditation will greatly increase cognitive, conceptual, sentimental/emotional and alignment capacities/functions. By alignment I mean, truly being on the side of the suffering beings, not going astray being egoistic, really devoting your life to the cause. Some say that emotions, feelings, etc cannot be changed, but that's bullshit, meditation radically changes the way you feel, who you stand with, etc but this emotional side is only one part. It greatly increases pragmatic capacity, you become a much more functional person when you can control your discursive thinking, your imagination, your own personality, at will and it's not in automatic mode running endlessly and haphazardly all day long.

I've always thought that Buddhist philosophy fits with dialectics because everything is impermanent and interdependant

>>2809916
Metaphysics is mineable, tbh.

That's the particular point of Mahayana; the core documents are revealed forgeries, inconsistent, and no one cares that much that they're fake.

The important point is that despite all claims to materialism, Marxism ALSO has a metaphysics, epistemology, and ontology, and for some people this is a huge amount of its appeal, by offering an alternative to both vulgar and liberal epistemologies and ontologies.

>>2810542
By metaphysics I do not mean ontology, but the type of (obsolete) thinking that mind has intuitive access to intelligible realities that exist in themselves, and which has the pretension of extracting predicates of necessity from such abstract realities that apply to particular entities. For example, since intelligibly the relation of cause-effect require a primal substance in order to make sense of further things, as everything is always the consequence of something that happened before it, then one may conclude that there must be necessarily be a primal uncaused cause in order for the world to make sanse and have integrity. It is in this sense that buddhist thought is metaphysical, since it claims to know realities such as previous lives, metempsychosis, spiritual worlds such as pure lands and etc.

And when I said that the sutra/tantra and layers of commentaries format is troublesome, I didn't say so because of some notion of authorial legimitimacy. This is, in fact, only a Buddhist concern and legitimization strategy, that western-style thinking since Socrates has completely rejected, establishing the sole legitimacy of the concepts' immanent content, systematicity, coherence… Of course, this principle didnt always function in full force in all western history, but it was always available and consistently effective, until it gained full recognition after the advent of modernity, at least virtually so. If buddhist philosophy had achieved this, what we can call "the absolute sovereignty of the concept (in spite of great religious-style figures)" it would be a philosophy on the same footing as western style thinking, but befause of its monastic, religious, doctrinal character, it remains powerless and will be always deconstructed and anylized and integrated by philosophy, not viceversa. This is why I recommend anons to stick to Buddhist meditational practice, over which it still has a monopoly so to say, and leave as secondary it's philosophy.

>now Israel wants to seize Southern Lebanon, but Hezbollah is waging a drone war and stormed Israeli military bases in Northern Israel (including drone striking Bibi Netanyahu's house a couple years back)
Did Hamas just pull a 9/11 on Israel? First a terror attack followed by a war that Israel can't win. Just like when Al-Qaeda attacked the United States in 2001 and got us into two wars that we lost (Iraq and Afghanistan). This Iran war is extremely unpopular at home. All the signs are there. Israel is losing support in the US. While Israel relies mostly on Azeri oil rather than Gulf oil like the US and thus the Strait of Hormuz getting blocked mostly doesn't affect them, just remember that Turkey can block that oil off if they really wanted to. Now famines are gonna hit due to shortages in gas and fertilizer in poor countries, and Tel Aviv lie in ruins from constant Iranian missiles. Israel's reserves are worn out and suffered heavy losses in the Gaza war (400 dead IDF I think after October 7 where 1,200 or 1,300 were killed by a vastly weaker opponent) they can't fight 4 wars at once. They won Syria after the FSA took over. But will Israel survive this? Haredis don't want to fight and many people are leaving Israel because they're tired of living underground in bomb shelters constantly.

to summarise: he's advocating for a revisionist form of kahanism that is nationalist, independant of the US, and non-hostile to the palestinians. this is fucking absurd! he betrays himself by advocating for a disentanglement of jewish and american interests whilst not being able to distinguish jews in israel and the USA.

there was a nationalist zionist movement before kahane: bundist labor zionism. what happened to it? when the USSR dissolved and israel got the bomb there was no value in maintaining the charade.

he's putting the cart before the horse by advocating for a movement to change economic and political realities. in practice the economic and political reality of zionism dictates the relation that zionism has with capital: their state needs infusions of money because it can't renew or perpetuate itself without violence and conflict.

there's no jewish national liberation movement in palestine because there hasn't been a jewish nation for 2000 years: far longer than there is any meaningful claim to the land. the zionists in palestine were put there by the british during their war with muhammad ali pasha. every zionist from theodore herzl onwards knew this was a colonial project of displacement and weren't coy about it at all.

no amount of posturing will change the basic facts of the situation, but posturing is all he can do.

Two more weeks and Zionism will be in the dustbin of history… two more weeks.

They’re running out of reservists, unless they can get the US to join them on the ground in both Syria and Lebanon the army is close to collapsing

I understand the skepticism. I'm sure zionism will continue to persist as a tradition of dead generations. the problem is there are a number of practical issues and contradictions that when considered together should be considered dire existential risk.

> loss of patronage

israel used to skate in US politics as a foreign policy issue for libs. as yanks face an indefinite fuel crisis and conscription this is no longer the case. recent polls reflect this new reality, as does your presence.

> lack of regional allies

with the latest gulf crisis the abraham accords are breaking apart. this is returning israel to it's historical norm of being situated amongst nations they have antagonised to the point of hostility. the effort being put into courting greece is telling: but greece has no money and no real dog in the fight.

> toxic association

in spite of massive censorship and repression, even casual association with israel is social, political, and economic suicide. the growing legitimacy and effectiveness of BDS is growing harder to hide. this has dire consequences for trade and diplomacy.

> unavoidable economic recession

the powerhouse of the israeli economy was tech, many of these companies have reincorporated overseas. the workforce has been called into the army, or fled. agriculture and manufacturing are struggling to find markets to export, agriculture is particularly vulnerable to logistical disruptions. israel's credit is shot and financing reconstruction will be difficult. lack of economic opportunity will deter settlers and immigration.

some think nazism is actually an spiritual and intellectual current and that race is an euphemism for a more elevated state of mind

others simply refuse their brownoid reality and claim otherwise, mind over matter at its dumbest

yes I found both kind of idiots in real life, most of them back when I was in university

Where do they take it from? I mean, do they just theorize out of thin air and ignore all documented indication otherwise?

>>14665
cherrypicking (i.e. free arabian legion, that one jewish guy who served as the poster boy for the arian race, subsaharan afrika colonies fighting on behalf of germany during ww2, etc.)

wishful thinking (i.e. "ehm no I'm white actually")

they just think the aesthetics are cool, too and all the hitlerian esoterism that exists helps a lot too

Es un país de enfermos delirantes a gringos, tanto así que tienen algo llamado JUNAEB, que es un órgano que ofrece auxilios escolares y cosas así, ¿Saben qué comen los universitarios con el subsidio? Porquerías de Burger King. Todos sus niñitos Donosos, Aravenas, Jaras y Contreras son gordos y no rollizo como quien come deliciosas raciones de carne y fruta, gordos del Little Caesar's. He visto tres lugares en la humanidad americana que se ven así. Primero, EE.UU, lo cual es algo obvio. Segundo, México y su obsesión "botanera" de híper procesados y Chile, Chile tiene las dos cosas, esta vez con una idea aspiracional y triste. Invito a la comunidad presente a alimentarse sanamente.

<ITT: discuss various forms of localist politics, e.g. communalism, municipalism, other forms of localist socialist governance, distributism, etc

there are some who still complain that russia was "socialism in one country". i contend that they are right, not because the concept is absurd, but because they do not go far enough. we have not yet taken stalin's gnosis to its logical conclusion and brought it to the hyper-financialized modern era

the current dichotomy in modern discourse has largely been between reformism and revolutionism. ultimately both forms make the mistake of operating as though contradictions are uniformly distributed. it is either you immediately go against the whole system in order to take it down, or you work with the whole system in order gradually reform it into socialism. why are these ultimately the only two notions entertained? the first approach underestimates the adaptability of monopoly capital or they fail to see the difficulty in coordinating an immediate revolution across large spans of the country. i think we all can see the failure of the second approach with its disregard for the blatant capture of bourgeois institutions by capital. maybe instead of still operating at such a high level of social change, we should focus more on what we can achieve on lower levels

this was part of the wisdom in "socialism in one country", it was the recognition that the contradictions were ripe in certain regions over others thanks to imperialism, and the specificity of these contradictions to particular regions only supports rather than detracts from the cultivation of determinate national character (contrary to industrial capital, which constantly strives towards maximal hyperconnectivity and the erosion of all national determinateness). ultimately, if you can not even achieve socialism in one country, there is much less hope in achieving socialism globally. now, we must of course acknowledge that "socialism in one country" was a logical response to imperialism, with the latter's tendency to unite the various classes within a society against a common imperialist bourgeois enemy. it is easy to see this and conclude that various forms of third-worldism are the answer. my issue with such a position is that it simply gives us an excuse to sit on our asses all day. if we actually carefully analyze things, we would notice that developed western nations have a tendency to, after thePost too long.

SALUTE THE STRONG, THE LACKEYS OF HAUTE BOURGEOIS AGAINST THE PETTY BOURGEOIS REVOLUTIONARIES, BOURGEOIS SOCIALIST PROJECTS!
ONWARD WITH THE GROWTH OF CAPITAL INTO CRISIS.
NO TO DAMAGE CONTROL, NO TO LESSER EVILS!
ALL FOR GREATER EVIL OR NO EVIL.
THE PETTY BOURGEOIS SOCIALIST PROJECTS WANT TO SACRIFICE PROLES FOR NOTHING INSTEAD OF ORGANIZING AND EDUCATING THEM WITHIN THE REALMS OF THEIR BOURGEOIS NATIONS, CODDLING THEM WITH IDEALIST NOTIONS OF "SPACES FREE FROM CAPITALISM", DESTROY THEM, DESTROY THE PETITE BOURGEOIS TO HARBOR CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS.

>>2811791
first of all, i am not an autonomist/communizer and i have already critiqued immediate revolutionism

second of all, "global capital" is really imperialist capital. dismantling capitalism in the imperial core does not have the same significance as doing it in some peripheral nation.

actually, there is an extent to which finance capital has attempted to, at some level, dismantle globalization itself. we have seen this with the dismantling of programs that projected american soft power and the erection of various forms of nationalism. deindustrialization has also made the us increasingly incompetent at projecting hard power as well, as can be seen with the iran war. domestically, again various federal institutions have experienced mass layoffs as well

this is not to mention the fact that international struggle was most effective when there were determinate socialist states that were "socialism in one country"

>>2811794
zapatistas are still here. note that i am not suggesting to engage in either of their strategies as for them to gain steam already presupposes some sort of major crisis that weakens the sphere of control of a bourgeois government. at the same though, i do think that the us could possibly enter into a crises in the future if it continues to fail at upholding its imperialism starting with iran. if this happens, the dynamics of the situation would be different from that of rojava as it would entail the destabilization of the very imperial core that would sabotage socialist projects worldwide

Under capitalism, games are job-like, but what if under socialism, jobs were game-like? A socialist society could take the artistic lessons of what makes something tedious more fun, addictive, and rewarding, and use it to labor required to make society function less miserable? You guys will probably shit on this idea but at least try to critique it constructively or think creatively about it.

>>2811868
> use it to make the* labor required to make society function less miserable

I had this same thought a long time ago, I wanna say about 14 years ago when I hard my first job. I considered myself "socialist" even back then but knew basically nothing about class struggle or the history of the labor movement. There was a lot of talk in tech about "augmented reality" back then and I imagined workers wearing VR goggles that overlay a colorful UI over their daily asks and encourage them to keep going. But I realized that's basically tech bro carrot and stick bullshit meant to make people into nerds who cherish their own exploitation.
