No, you're still not going abstract enough: they are wars between different basic personality types, taste / "cultural capital", and, in aggregate, intelligence.. While petite-bourgeoisie skew one way and "PMC" skew the other, this pseudo-class analysis breaks down when you have to account for proletarians on both sides, different kinds of lumpen and pseudo-lumpen on opposing sides, tech workers generally skewing reactionary but occasionally skewing outright communist, and so on.

If you take a look at any piece of polling data you can find, the last thing on earth you want is the decline of university education. Politics today is fundamentally a conflict between high-openness, high agreeableness, mid-high neuroticism leftists/liberals, and low openness, low agreeableness, low-mid neuroticism reactionaries. The number one empirical predictors of where you'll fall on that scale are education level, and age. Now, you can't do anything about age, but you can control education levels. (And since University enrollment has gone up over time and older degree-educated people generally skew left-liberal, age may just be a proxy for education anyway.)

The dominant material factor beyond liberals losing control of culture is that the underlying neuroticism of the liberal type lead them to social justice and thence to socialism. That constant sense of unease needs an intellectual explanation, and they settled first on identity issues, and then as token measures on that front didn't work, on the economic system as a whole. The bourgeoisie as a whole realized by around 2023-4 that the carrot approach to co-opting these demands wasn't working, so they went for the stick and backed Trump, which set an expectation of a general rightward cultural shift.

This, however, has not really materialized. Institutions will continue to skew liberal because you have to be pretty smart to run an institution and rightists have basically made it their mission to look as dumb as possible. The cultural status of liberals remains basically intact. AI slop undermines the market position of freelance logo designers or whatever, but it does nothing to harm the cultural status of artists as a whole - if anything, it raises it because now people with bad taste can flag themselves more openly.

>Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas.
I wonder if it's just because material factors figure more highly. Another example I was thinking of was the Ukraine war. In Ukraine, it's a real war that people are fighting. But overwhelmingly most NAFO people on the internet speaking English are pretty comfortable, their politics tends to be very establishment, and I think they relate to the war in a symbolic way.

>On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away … We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive.
You're telling me all of this for the first time, because I don't really use social media anymore (a little bit for different subjects). But I also thought it was the other way around? Like the clean girl look was liberal, and the heavy makeup look was conservative. Look at MAGA women for example, they go pretty heavy on makeup and plastic surgery.

I'm tempted to almost try to explain this more with psychoanalysis or something. People seem to "interpellate" politics through social cues, race, gender, how people dress, talk, walk. Do you remember Milo Yiannopolous. He was a right-wing provocauter who is washed up now, but he would go to college campuses and perform in drag and say stuff that was right-wing as hell, which provoked extreme, red-in-the-face rage among campus liberals. He knew they were going to do this and exploited it. But I'm not sure those liberals would have the same reaction if he wasn't gay and doing drag, because it wouldn't have destabilized their own framework of ingroups/outgroups (which includes gays in the ingroup as basically magical elves who exist to affirm their beliefs). He was just really threatening to some of these liberals, even though he was just some scummy fag with a drug problem.

Now regarding class, I really don't think these things (PMC, petit bourg, urban/rural divide) matter much here. Remember the "diner goth" thing that came up a while ago? Due to the internet, you will find subcultures everywhere across different classes and ethnicities.

There are soyfacing IT workers making $300k/year who are furries and into Kpop and there lumpen Nazis who are into the same shit as well.

And finally regarding fashion, I was never much into fashion but I'll just give my vibes based opinion. Looking at picrel, I think people are just slapping random shit together. And this has been happening for many years now, so it's getting increasingly difficult to identify any real MASS trends. I emphasize mass here. Sure there are dozens of microtrends but they don't give much fodder for analyzing the underlying base.

Based lad.

If David gets laid off or his employer goes out of business, david has no more income.

A deli owner decides who gets the privilege of luxuries like food to survive, and maybe 4 walls and a roof to sit in between shifts. The deli owner could liquidate their property and make significantly more than they would in a year to invest or fuck off and do whatever, otherwise they wouldn't bother running the business in the first place and just get a similar job as david.

Additionally, he can take out loans, pay very little in taxes, and other benefits.

It indicates a lack of knowledge and life experience to think that the main benefit of owning a businesses is getting to write ones own paycheck, and a special kind of retardation to think that the hypothetical is anywhere near a gotcha.

Not unlike how patsoc fascists get when they talk about PMCs. Labor aristocracy is a thing but it will never change the fundamental class relations.

 

Is it fair to say that most of the culture wars that take place in American politics are merely fights between the petite-bourgeoisie (small business owners) and the PMC?

The ruling class doesn't seem to care about the cultural bullshit since they're not really affected by it. Likewise, the working-class doesn't care about cultural issues all that much either and really only cares about short-term economic stuff like the price of gas. Many of the conservative cultural attributes that are thrown on to the working-class are actually the traits of the petit-bourg (being anti-abortion and anti-queer, for instance).

Right now, in the era of social media, it seems like culture wars and "symbolic crusades" are at an all-time high. Interestingly though, much unlike the culture wars of the 80s-2000s which were lead by the right, these contemporary culture wars seem to be mostly lead by snarky white liberals who overwhelmingly make up the PMC. Take, for instance, something like the backlash against Olivia Rodrigo's babydoll dress: for decades liberals pushed "choice feminism" and told people to stop attacking what women wear, yet now seem very concerned about what women wear. Olivia's dress is an issue for them because they associate it with pedophillia, which of course they link to Trump and Epstein (never mind the fact Olivia is a proud liberal herself who works with Planned Parenthood and pro-Palestine organizations). On an almost identical note, multiple liberal women have raised hysteria over big retail chains like Target and Nordstrom selling milkmaid dresses, calling it "tradwife coded" and saying it's indicative that women's civil rights will be taken away. Obviously, this is bullshit. How could something as petty as a milkmaid dress destroy the decades of feminist struggles in America? We also see this very clearly with the "clean girl" aesthetic being demonized as right-wing or "eugenics-coded" with the heavy makeup/blue eyeshadow look being championed for being (allegedly) progressive. For a leftist, all of these things are simply a case of consumer identity vs. consumer identity.

But that's not the point. The real issue in these contemporary examples is that snarky liberal white women fear the decline of their social and cultural status. Jill from Manhattan is mad that Fynnleigh the Mormon tradwife has more TikTok followers than her, even though what Fynnleigh does in her home in Utah has no effect whatsoever on Jill.

American (and Western more generally) immigration laws are such that you pretty much can't come here legally unless you're petty bourgeois or a member of the intelligentsia, or maybe a refugee or something.

>which most working-class people are
Kind of, not really. Most working class Americans are Joe Rogan centrists when it comes to social issues, myself included. The most consistent attitude I've encountered among working class people is "get it out of my face". As an example, I'm openly gay, but I've never got any pushback on it because I don't act like a fag or talk about it constantly. The real chuddy politics, the kind of shit h*zoids lean into, are in reality concentrated within the petite bourgeois and the small-business affiliated PMC.

A medieval HRE city and urban society was legally subject to the emperor, however not subject to feudal lords, kings etc. Like for example any urban bourgeois with financial means to do so could recruit a band of Landsknechts and start a proper war against some random rural feudal Junker or other aristocrat of whatever noble rank (not just in theory, such feuds actually took place and could prolong over a long time). What's more, serfs from the feudal countryside might run from their lords, move to a city and become free men if they managed to get a job (i.e. join the proletariat) and accomodation and the former lord could do nothing against it. The cities were ruled by councils which consisted of elected bourgeois guild bosses who would either inherit their position from their family or bought political influence with money. In medieval times the proletariat existed already inside the free cities as free wage workers, however proletarians were not allowed to take part in bourgeois elections, politics was strictly for rich people. This was called "Ständestaat" and it is what our current German rightoids mean when they say "we want to go back to the "good old times", fuck the modern world". As city population grew, manufacturing processes diversified, technology and automation developed and urban societies networked globally the bourgeois guild bosses and merchants became the modern capitalists, amassed more private property and financial wealth than aristocrats (resulting in aristocrats becoming dependent on the richest bourgeois oligarchs to obtain loans for their wars and purchases of the latest representative luxury items) while the situation of the proletariat gradually became worse and worse, which was particularly evident in the form of big slum districts in the cities (like, half of Hamburg used to be a slum of the worst kind) but also in the founding of the predecessors of the unions and first unions, secret worker's societies, in the founding of the first communist party and eventually violent worker's uprisings against the bourgeoisie. Why is this relevant? Well, because the author says that Germany was a monolithic feudal society with dominant feudal entities executing absolute political power well into the 20th century, which is simply wrong: The junkers, barons, dukes etc. and the clergy only ever ruled the countryside, their power Post too long.

I've been souring on Chibber's takes recently. He keeps repeating that the left sucks, we should go back to the pre-war period and do more workerism, pmc bad, wholesome market socialism just works.

Citing from the study:
<A total of 93,642 individuals (3.9 %) had at least one violent conviction. The distribution of convictions was highly skewed; 24,342 persistent violent offenders (1.0 % of the total population) accounted for 63.2 % of all convictions. Persistence in violence was associated with male sex (OR 2.5), personality disorder (OR 2.3), violent crime conviction before age 19 (OR 2.0), drug-related offenses (OR 1.9), nonviolent criminality (OR 1.9), substance use disorder (OR 1.9), and major mental disorder (OR 1.3). […] The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality.
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3969807/
So its not that 1% is responsible for ALL crime, but that repeat violent offenders make up around 63% of the prison population, whioe at least 4% of the public have one case of violent offense. So then, some people are petty criminals (~4%), while lifetime criminals are a completely destructive force and total minority (1%). As far as I know, this correlates with the number of sociopaths (4%) and psychopaths (1%).

Transgenderism is a sacred cow here, it seems. This, despite the fact that transgenderism itself is a liberal imperialist project floating up mainly due to the efforts of the PMC rather than any grassroots efforts, with trans rights itself being a bourgeois ideology itself. Funny that.

How true is this and is there a conclusion leftists can draw from it? It would imply that most people are extremely docile and that a very small minority of people are mentally capable of serious criminal activity due to differences in nature and nurture. Several important questions:

>does this mean "evil" is not as widespread as we think and is instead concentrated in the hands of a minority of full time psychos?
>can this minority used for something useful like high risk revolutionary activity due to them being more comfortable with serious transgressions
>is this minority a type of übermensch that makes them psychologically stronger than the average normie?

>It's kind of funny how much of American culture war bullshit boils down to small business owners vs. PMC
That's American politics in a nutshell, since these are the actual mass bases of the Republican and Democratic parties. Generally speaking, both the big bourgeoisie and poor workers are less committed to the partisan divide because in both cases the outcome makes little difference to them. Both parties serve the ruling class and shit on workers, so porkies are equally benefitted while proles are equally harmed by both. It's only the middle-strata hangers on that have a real stake in the outcomes of elections.

>Hell, I see so many atheist leftists repeat the "JESUS WAS A SOCIALIST" mantra despite having zero stake in any Christian theology, simply because they believe doing so will win right-wring Christians over to socialism.
I think the point of that slogan is more to convert liberal or moderate Christians (who actually vastly outnumber fanatical rightoids) to socialism.
>I also see heavy, heavy romanticization of Appalachia and Appalachian culture to the point where comrades will say things like: "WE NEED TO TAKE BACK THE TERM 'REDNECK' AND MAKE IT RADICAL AGAIN!"
I think that's just a reaction to the extent to which idpol dominates the American left. Appalachia and the OG rednecks are an example of white people producing radical politics and resistance to capital. Drawing on those traditions is seen as a way to get white workers on board with a movement that very often appeals to race or other identity categories.
>cool story bro, Harlan County voted for Trump by over 80%
I don't think that really matters. People always cite voting for the GOP as proof of a population being hopelessly reactionary, but voting for the Democrats is hardly a radical act. Frankly some diehard Democrat voting bases (e.g. urban middle class PMCs) are just as hostile to socialism as the craziest MAGA. They made it pretty clear in 2016 that they'd rather have a Trump than a Bernie. The focus on regions like Appalachia or poor rural people in general simply have to do with the fact that these people are poor, and socialism is in line with their class interests.
>When I speak to comrades in Europe, Asia, or LatAm, they make it very clear there is no converting a fascist or a communist, or a TradCath to anarchist.
I think you're misunderstanding what people are trying to do here. They're simply trying to appeal to the class interests of a demographic that has been captured by the GOP by the culture war in spite of its class interests. I don't think there's much difference between this and say, getting Black people to stop voting Democrat and become socialists instead.

A good portion of the American working class is not white. In fact, at least half (actually probably over half) of my coworkers have been some variety of racial minority. Beyond that, a lot of the American working class also consists of young people trying to scrounge up enough time and money to get a degree in hopes of moving upwards into the PMC. I've known at least two people who were working three jobs in order to pay for college. The working class in real life does not look as it does on TV.

>>2807220
First, you're working to the dumbass logic that there is "an American working class". What defines the working class is its relationship to the means of production, not its allegiance to this or that clique. Our goal is to unite the various factions of the working class, not to pander to your preferred subset of it.

Second, leftists have, in large part, already turned on the democratic party, and did so well before the MAGA crowd did Trump. The fallout of the Gaza genocide resulted in a failure of the democrats to engage with their base that is generally agreed, even amongst pro-Israel bourgeois commentators, to have played a large part in the democrats losing the 2024 election.

Third, the class interests of the MAGA base are generally petite bourgeois and labor-aristocratic. Truckers and small farmers are not interested in communism, they're interested in democratic-socialism at best, fascism the rest of the time. Insofar as they are aware of Marxism, they flatly reject it, and experience shows that attempts to bring them further left has instead dragged whoever is preaching to them further right.

Finally, you're ignoring the much larger, much more politically useful group of people who aren't engaged in mainstream American politics to begin with. Most people, especially those in the working class, have more or less material interests; they want a bigger house, a faster car, more free time, a job that doesn't treat them like shit, etc. They might have some vaguely defined ideology, but it's a secondary factor in their life that they don't actually take all that seriously. These are the people you want to go for, not retarded MAGA cultists.

>>2807160

The real reason veganism died out in leftist circles isn't because veganism became taken over by corporations, but because veganism became a SYMBOLIC CRUSADE, basically a tool by which educated liberal elites (the PMC, if you will) used to "prove" their superior morality to the working-class. Look at any discussion about veganism today (including the one ITT) and you'll see it has nothing to do with anti-capitalism or health or resources or even the climate, but MORALITY. Liberal elites love waving their beyond burgers and soy lattes in the faces of proles as a way of "proving" liberal elites are morally superior and thus deserve to rule over society (if only ideologically).

the difference is indie games have a specific audience in mind and aren't blaming chuds when they fail to reach that audience tbh.
an indie game can be whatever the fuck it wants, there are no expectations. a AAA game has to appeal to as broad an audience as possible to cover its production and marketing costs, and this often backfires as those audiences have totally different expectations and tastes.

This isn't a case of "wokeness ruining games" but "out of touch CEO's ruining games" and consumers implicitly identifying "woke" with "corporate PMC meddling in whatever product I enjoy", which 90% of the time it is. except in indie games, so no one minds them.

your logic just sounds like defeatism tbh. if the black panthers were able to mobilize the poor and homeless into a successful people's militia what's stopping you from doing the same?

>what exactly is it that keeps these people with such experience from being useful to presently existing communities?
the fact they are unhoused? it's pretty hard to keep a job if you don't have a phone number or a mailing address and it's even harder if you have substance abuse problems as most homeless people do.

>the only people with the actual means of meeting their needs are the owners of productive capital.
yeah obviously the bourgeois have an easier time exploiting the labor of others but the bourgeois already discarded these people. they don't have the option of working at walmart or mcdonalds, the only work they can find is unpaid "charity" work or illicit labor like working for gangs. this isn't just true for the homeless but also for people with any kind of mental or physical disabilities, many of them want to be useful but capitalism doesn't want to accommodate their needs so they're just stuck collecting disability.

to be honest I don't think working "within the system" is ever going to succeed, you need to be willing to mobilize these people for illegal tactics that can build you a large amount of resources quickly. hell literally just hire the homeless to work in a scam call center to steal money from boomers. it's more productive than just giving them charity. or organize them into shoplifting rings and use it to accumulate resources while simultaneously building networks of comrades within the prison system that can protect eachother and create mass support among those who have already fallen through the cracks of society. or utilize them for vigilantism to harass/assassinate porkies and force them to move out of the cities so their property can be reclaimed by local residents.

the fact leftists have all these options for organizing lumpens and proles and just resort to handing out sandwiches and booklets is just really a huge missed opportunity. or maybe it's intentional that organizing has been replaced by charity, just like CPUSA preaching suicidal-nonviolence while they tail the Democrats. the left has been hijacked by petit-bourgeois collegPost too long.

kk, so the people in that memorial zine apparently founded Juche ideology. At first I thought they were just using real names and stories to add flavor to the story, you know? But then I actually looked into the ideology behind the guy in Jason's video. It says pretty clearly that he held Maoist, anarchist, and Juche ideas in what they call "productive tension." Which is, like, Juche Poster to a T.

I'm gonna post some screenshots for context, but honestly we shouldn't derail the thread. Also, nobody's said a single thing about the dream stuff yet. Kind of weird.



Mind control and dreams is something psychology has been looking at for decades.

"women" are not marginalized. But there are marginalized women.

PMC, bourgeois, petit-bourgeois white women that benefitted from colonialism as well are still fucking bourgeois they enjoyed all the fruits of patriarchy, of imperialism. They didn't have their stomachs ripped open and their unborn children crushed underfoot. Nobody is more protected than a whitoid female.

>West Bank settlers are inspiring these people
CPUSA: "you Maoists are crazy and absurd to call us settlers, actually the problem is FOREIGNERS who are ruining our nazi-inspiring nation that was founded by the OG Jeffrey Epstein class who fought a civil war about our right to rape slaves"
that's why the caning of Charles Sumner happened, he called them sexual degenerates:
<Mocking the South Carolina senator's stance as a man of chivalry, the Massachusetts senator charged him with taking "a mistress . . . who, though ugly to others, is always lovely to him; though polluted in the sight of the world, is chaste in his sight—I mean," added Sumner, "the harlot, Slavery."
I wonder why Jeffrey Epstein's fellow PMC class of high school teachers didn't educate you about that!hmm! Coincidentally I heard on The Drain podcast where our dear sweet comrade Palma joked about the California Teachers Association endorsing Eric Swalwell as their choice in governor, consistent pro-rape agenda from the goyscold class, stay woke………

the solution to pmc virtue hoarding is unironic left-nietzscheanism. pmcs virtue-horde because they have internalized slave morality ressentiment making them feel bad for being in a position of economic privilege. it is no accident that idpol is sourced from refined parisian intellectualism while engels himself was a german so felt no moral qualms with using his position as a capitalist to further the worker's movement. there needs to be a transvaluation of morals evinced in the pmc and labor aristocracy if we are not to completely ignore them (an understandable gesture). obviously i am not suggesting they should adopt a "master morality", that is just silly. rather, they need a refined morality based upon a noble magnanimity in helping the working class. rather than be more "virtuous" by being more woke then impose such things on workers, they should have their energies directed into real change based upon the finances afforded them thanks to their class position

>He’s even thrown his own wife under the bus for working with Palestinian liberation activist Susan Abdulhawa
<"Palestinians are neo-nazis, look at these screenshots of twitter posts"
Leftist "callout/cancel culture" has deputized them all as cops who are happy to help Zionist surveillance accomplish their psyops for free to smear the critics of Israel. Actually the DSA gets paid: they gain social capital for their branding as heroic 'anti-fascists' who bravely fight antisemitic tropes
Actual nazis are defined by their material behavior of denying food/water and healthcare. Idealists call Palestinians are nazis for their merely class conscious tweets about being 'goyim'. I imagine DSA radlibs in the 1960s also called The Black Panthers 'nazis' for daring to call themselves n*ggers, "how dare you use the word that your oppressors call you!!! This is an anti-white trope! You will never be invited to our settler anti-Stalinist forum where we have mild disagreements with our fellow PMC Jeffery Epstein libertarian guys about whether 'sex work is work' is woke or not"
>Fully divest NYC from the Zionist entity
As the Mayor, his main job is to secure funding for civic projects, but I imagine Zionist alligned finance capitalists have a lot of power with their choices in investing in the Zohran era municipal bond market. Whoever controls bond markets controls your city, try thinking dialectically about the material base of capitalism the next time some radlib talks about "electoralism is good/bad" or "this politician is good/bad"
<Mamdani's administration is facing significant challenges in the municipal bond market. This has resulted in decreased investor confidence and difficulties in selling city debt, which are critical for funding city projects and services.
<Mamdani's proposed fiscal policies, which include extensive spending plans, have raised concerns among investors about the city's financial health.
<There is a notable shift in investor sentiment, with many expressing distrust in the city's ability to manage its debt effectively under Mamdani's leadership.

The EU emerged from a post-WWI House of Habsburg project with the goal of establishing something like the USA in Europe and retain some power projection cababilities for themselves in areas they used to rule for a long time. For that reason they (and Soros) were main players behind the 1989 color revolution also. The French bourgeoisie wanted a single Euro currency for some reason (it was their prerequisite for approving the German "reunification") and the German bourgeoisie does indeed utilize the EU's "free movement of labour" to exploit Eastern European cheap labour. However, neither French nor German bourgeois and aristocrats need the EU for anything. Both FR and DE are the biggest net contributors in terms of budget while EU law actually puts big countries at a disadvantage within the EU's decision making body, while net receivers like Poland and small nations enjoy more voting power relative to size. Getting rid of the DM came with neglible benefits for German porky and higher cost of living for the working class plus a shitload of problems for the economy, including the problems of € economies who formerly preferred "weak" national currencies. Eastern Europeans and others migrate here since the 19th century when Europe was still multipolar and Euro porkies and aristocrats indulged in inter-imperialist war all the time.
Today France, Germany and Italy would objectively be better off without the fucking EU in any case, that's why we have widespread anti EU sentiment here on the far-left and far-right.
So, what is the EU now? It's mainly a vehicle for the interests and imperialist agenda of the House of Rothschild (British, French, Swiss, Israeli etc.) and similar haute bourgeois and aristocrat oligarch clans and capitalists of all sorts who can circumvent national law and fuck with worker's rights and implement a draconic fascist censorship regime via EU law if need be. It's also a way for corrupt neolib PMCs from all over Europe to make a career as EUrocrats in national governments by serving oligarchs and funnel gibs from the EU budget into private black holes. Or to become a strong NAFOid nation like Poland, amassing more tanks than DE and FR combined for defending freedom. Western EU bourgeoisie adores Eastern Europe, by the way. Because Eastern Europe, including EU members such as Poland as well as membership candidates, tenPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

every American settler socialist movement over the last 15 years: "Google Bookchin, we must SMASH THE AUTHORITARIAN STATE for its racist regulations of consumer freedom for individuals"
People after googling Bookchin: "so wait, anarchists have 'no quarrel' with neoliberals who support selling children in the free market?"

lol PMC socialist literally dream of having woke versions of Jeffrey Epstein pagan temple islands, where sex workers are "liberated" from Stalinist oppression to cross borders to be servants of the class of redditors. Really makes you think about what Ukraine's "revolution of dignity" in 2014 was really about!
