Who's afraid of Gabriel Rockhill?

It looks like the hysteria over Gabriel Rockhill's expose of CIA funded western marxism has hit Jacobin. Since Rockhill's book was published, he's been living rent free in the heads of critical theorists. A bourgeois Indian academic who lives in the US and considers China "sweatshop socialism" has made at least 20 FB posts about Rockhill over the past month. Katerina Kolozova, a "marxist" from FYROM who wrote an article where she said "real marxists" wanted the breakup of Yugoslavia because it was "fake socialism" and Monkeydonians were "real europeans" unlike "Russians and Ukrainians" also went into meltdown mode. The Jacobin article just ties it all together. The author says we need critical theory and western marxism more than we need another Stalin or Mao. But given how impotent western marxists have been to achieve any kind of revolutionary success, it seems that their main issue with Rockhill is that he accurately diagnoses them as hacks. None of the articles, op-eds, or posts about Rockhill's book actually try to refute the facts he presents (backed up by FOIA requests) but just defend bourgeois liberal democracy as superior to actually existing socialism. The Indian admitted to me he didn't even finish Rockhill's book, and one of my irl friends who's been flipping out about it has refused to even read it. If Rockhill is so wrong, why is it no one can actually refute his truth nukes?

The PLA is all bark no bite

The PRC hasn't been keen on defending even their own interests, let alone supporting communist movements or even the Global South.
In fact, they've supported a bunch of regimes that have crushed or have intended to crush communist insurgencies.
Can you imagine a militant Japan or a starving Cuba if the Soviets existed today?

IMPORTANT SOVIET PRIVACY GUIDE THREAD

My idea for a fully libre workstation

I'd use a MilkV Jupiter SBC w/ mainline Linux support, and stack 2 or 3 MilkV Mars SBCs ontop of the Jupiter SBC, and use these as network LLM acceleration nodes for a mini-cloud, w/ ASIC USB for bitmining (e.g. SHA256) into each so you can earn money (I think it's like $2/a month), use Ovrdrive USBs for decryption behind LUKS and KeePassXC, and on the Jupiter SBC have a custom Gentoo profile w/ refused peoprietary packages and patchwork if needed, then harden the kernel and secure the bootchain, then after you decrypt the machine upon startup with the Ovrdrive USB, then plug-in a Modos paper display, Keyboardio keyboard, Ploopy mouse, dumb earphones and computer mic, passive speakers, possibly openearable BLE wireless earphones. Then use a custom SOCKS5 proxy written in Python w/ X25519, Poly1305, ChaCha20 and Kyber for post-quantum cryptographic protection of your network using FTC (Full Tunnel Control) over their connections. Use GNU Icecat as the web browser w/ LibreJS, nftables, kvm/qemu, firejail, pyshark, fail2ban amd gnunet/gnunet-vpn/gnunet CADET (or Jami) w/ Microsoft Lifecam VX-1000 / VX-3000 or a Logitech QuickCam 4000 / QuickCam Express 1999 web cam. Then add a second MilkV Jupiter to serve as the IP over DHCP router that you hook-up to your conventional default ISP router via ethernet serial port/UART, and a MilkV Jupiter w/ custom drivers and formware w/ ath9k PCIe snapped to it for open 802.11 IP over DHCP, using ethernet to the other MilkV Jupiter for all connections. Now just connect to the wifi and you're in! You can use a Wio Lite RISC-V board for the modem connections via GPIO.

I have an idea for a cell phone replacement: MilkV Mars + ThinkPenguin USB cellular modem + LoRa concentrator board: RAK2245/RAK833 (SPI) or SX1301-based Pi HAT for multi‑channel gateway + Antenna: 868/915 MHz omnidirectional antenna (SMA) + enclosure, power (battery + small solar if off‑grid) + XPT2046 touch controller w/ Stylus pen + Gentoo w/ Phosh (Wayland). StarFive GPU drivers (Imagination BXE-4-32) are properly configured in your kernel to get hardware acceleration; otherwise, the UI will be sluggish. Input: The XPT2046 is a resistive touch controller. While reliable and great for stylus use, Phosh is designed primarily for capacitive multi-touch. You may need to calibrate the libinput profiles to handle the pressure-sensitive input correctly. The Stylus Experience: Since you’re using an XPT2046, you’ll enjoy precise input, but you may want to look into evdev calibration tools to ensure the stylus coordinates map correctly to the Wayland compositor. Kernel Support: You will likely be running a downstream StarFive kernel. Porting the LoRa forwarder and ensuring the USB modem's cdc_ether or qmi_wwan drivers play nice with the RISC-V architecture will be your first "Gentoo moment." You will likely need a high-capacity LiPo (10,000mAh+).

AND THAT'S BASICALLY IT! That's all you need to know about online privacy and ethical hacking. Use GNUNet FS or netcat for file sharing.

Redeemable and Morally Gray Villains Are Midwit Slop

It's boring and toothless to make villains "well intentioned extremists" or "good guys deep down but troubled" or any other variation. There is essentially one main problem with this type of character, and it's expressed on a spectrum. At one end of the spectrum, they are too villainous, making any notion of grayness or redemption laughable or insulting to the audience. At the other end, they don't do enough villainous things to warrant their status as a villain, so you can't take them seriously. In most cases, these characters fall somewhere in the middle. Theoretically that should make them more balanced, but instead the archetype is just massively overdone. It has become predictable and boring because so many writers use the formula as a crutch to make the character "interesting" instead of giving the characters something actually interesting about them. If you're going to have a villain, you can make them interesting without resorting to this cheap tactic, and if you really want morally gray characters you don't need to bother framing the story as heroes vs villains.

"Israel has never lost a war"

Israel has killed Catholic priests, destroyed statues of Jesus Christ in a Maronite Christian village in Southern Lebanon, there was one video originating from the West Bank of a boy no older than 5 or 6 years old where an IDF soldier unzips his pants and sticks the boy's head near his crotch, a strike killed father Pierre Al Rahi, in November 2024, Israeli soldiers from the Golani Brigade desecrated the St. Mema church in the Christian village of Deir Mimas, southern Lebanon (soldiers staged a mock wedding ceremony, danced, and simulated sex acts inside the church), Armenian Christians in Israel are attacked by Jewish extremists, Armenian Christians in Lebanon are teaming up with Hezbollah to fight Israel in Lebanon, and even though Iran is an Islamic country, they are allied with Orthodox Armenia who Israel genocided through their support of Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh War. There was one church in Lebanon that was destroyed by Israel in 2024. In 2025, Israel desecrated a church in Sarada in Lebanon. 10 Americans were killed in the West Bank by Israel over the last years with zero accountability by the Israeli government.

On October 7, 2023 Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis in a low-tech invasion of Israel after the 2018-19 Gaza border protests where Israel used live ammunition on protesters, killing 223 protesters (including 46 children), and injured 9,204 others (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018–2019_Gaza_border_protests), then that lead to the clashes in 2019 where Palestinian rockets killed 4 people inside Israel (source: https://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-05/06/c_138036325_13.htm). Prior, from 2008-2018 after the security checkpoints were set up in Gaza and the border wall with the West Bank following the Second Intifada, until 10 years later, only 30 were killed by rocket fire(source: https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/thread/258177344/#q258177344). This lead to the 2021 Israel-Palestine crisis where 14 Israelis were killed, 114 wounded, 1 soldier killed, 3 wounded, 1 aerial drone was destroyed in friendly fire, 2 Jewish Israelis were killed in Lod & Acre riots, and 2 soldiers wounded, 6 border police injured in the West Bank (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Israel–Palestine_crisis). A further 400 IDF killed in the Gaza War, 2,000 injured as of October 2025, which has turned into the fourth deadliest war fought by Israel on the Israel side, right behind the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War and the 1967-70 war of attrition. (source: https://costsofwar.watson.brown.edu/sites/default/files/2025-10/Human-Toll-in-Gaza_Costs-of-War_Crawford_7-October-2025.pdf).

Tens of thousands of Gazans were killed in Operation Swords of Iron War, hundreds of thousands more maimed, and millions more displaced. Hamas used to number in the tens of thousands, but now it's believed to only be in the hundreds, with their new leader being Izz al-Din al-Haddad in the Gaza City division. Israel is demanding what's left of Hamas to disarm, but they refuse, because it could spark a civil war with all the armed gangs that Israel controls in the region, like Yasser Abu Shabab's Popular Forces, who already control the food supply in Gaza City.

In Operation Eternal Darkness and the 2026 Lebanon War, Israel lost 16 soldiers and suffered 411 injuries (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Lebanon_war). In the 2026 Iran war, America lost 15 soldiers killed, 538 military personnel wounded and at least 17 US sites in the Middle East damaged. Israel had 16 soldiers killed, 27 civilians killed, 7,834 injured, 690 military personnel wounded and $11.52 billion in economic damage. The United States had at least 12 radar systems and satellite terminals destroyed or damaged, multiple AN/TPY-2s destroyed or damaged, 1 THAAD radar destroyed or seriously damaged, 1 AN/FPS-132, 1 AN/TPS-59, 1 AN/FPS-117, 1 AN/MPQ-64 destroyed, and 1 MIM-104 Patriot AN/MPQ-65 radar and 1 AN/TPS-75 damaged (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Iran_war).

In the 12 day war, Israel saw 32 civilians and 1 off-duty soldier killed, 3,238 wounded, 2 Hermes drones shot down, 61+ UAVs and cruise missiles destroyed, 10,000+ drones seized, 700+ Mossad agents arrested and 5 Mossad agents executed. In the 2025-26 Iranian protests, 7,015–36,500+ protesters were killed, 330,000–360,000 maimed and 53,552 were arrested. In 2023 after the October 7 attacks, the Houthis attacked the Galaxy leader, taking 25 hostages, some of whom were injured. In 2024, two US Navy SEALs drowned in the Arabian Sea, off the coast of Somalia (Christopher Chambers and Nathan Gage Ingram) while trying to seize Iranian supplies going to the Houthis. In 2024, 3 US soldiers were killed in a Houthi drone strike in Jordan.

Questions about dialectics

I recently started reading Lukacs's ontology of a social being and my whole understanding of dialectics has been flipped.

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.

HOWEVER, Lukacs seems to completely disregard this. Instead, his dialectics could be best described by the following : Any individual has multiple possibilities to realize his "teleological acts" (conscious acts aimed at satisfaction of desires/needs/sustenance etc). Alienation occurs when he is constrained by an external cause to choose a possibility unsatisfactory compared to others. As such, the dialectic is essentially a movement between the individual who attempts to overcome this alienation, which translates into class war (proletariat see capitalism as irrational for them, but are forced to endure it => conflict with the bourgeoisie).

So, which is it ? Lukacs' dialectics imo can be reconciled with Engels, but it makes the latter's work appear as very superficial.

Nuclear family abolitionists, what is the retort to this?

Recently came across these tweets. Often I've seen folk argue that the nuclear family structure is inherently abusive and tied to capital, while others, including these tweets, argue that biological parents are the least likely to sexually abuse, unlike that of extended families/communal rearing.

So, it appears that despite the most common assumptions, labour "aristocratic"/well paid workers can and have been notable partecipants in the class struggle, everywhere from Italy to Chile and from the UK to South Africa

> The most important counter-example is the Russian working class in the early 20th century. The backbone of Lenin’s Bolsheviks (something he was most definitely aware of) were the best paid industrial workers in the Russian cities – skilled machinists in the largest factories. Lower paid workers, such as the predominantly female textile workers, were generally either unorganized or apolitical (until the beginnings of the revolution) or supported the reformist Mensheviks.

> German Communism became a mass movement when tens of thousands of well-paid metal workers left the Independent Socialists and joined the Communists in 1921. The French and Italian Communists also became mass parties through the recruitment of thousands of machinists who led the mass strikes of the postwar period. These highly paid workers were also overrepresented in the smaller Communist parties of the United States and Britain.

> In Chile between 1970 and 1973, and Argentina between 1971 and 1974, copper miners and metal workers engaged in industrial struggles and took the lead in mass mobilizations against the military and the right. In Brazil, it was the well-paid metal workers in the suburbs of San Paolo who led mass strikes in the 1970s that created the CUT

> it was the highest paid Black workers in South Africa – in mining, auto, steel – whose struggles in the 1970s created the radical and militant FOSATU trade union confederation.

>Tensions between Burkina Faso and Ghana escalated sharply this week as a long-simmering dispute over oil exploration rights along their shared northern border erupted into a brief but deadly conflict, leaving at least 10 to 30 people dead, according to regional officials.

>The clashes were concentrated near the border zones between Burkina Faso’s Centre-Nord Region and Ghana’s Upper East Region, particularly around the Bawku–Pusiga corridor and areas west toward Zebilla. These regions have seen rising tensions in recent months after exploratory surveys suggested the possibility of commercially viable oil deposits extending across both sides of the frontier.
>Ghanaian authorities say units of the Ghana Armed Forces, including personnel from the 11th Mechanised Battalion based in Bolgatanga, were deployed after reports that Burkinabè troops had crossed into disputed territory near the village of Widnaba. In response, Burkina Faso confirmed mobilizing elements of the Burkinabè Armed Forces, with soldiers reportedly drawn from units stationed in Kaya and Dori.

The Cult of Maoism

So I'm pretty sure I met some people probably tied to the Juche tagfags a couple years back. Maybe 2022? Something like that. They had a whole network of squats running between Baltimore and Dundalk, and leftypol was on one of the common computers, and there was a constant blend of anarchist style langauge but a worship of juche idealogy, and the vigorously blended the two and had insane study sessions. Like, maybe 20 buildings total abandoned row houses, old warehouses, a couple storefronts. The vibe was exactly like Fight Club to be honest. The creepy "we live in a dilapidated house and hit each other with sticks" type shit. Most of them were in straight up drug den living conditions. You'd walk in and see piles of clothes, stolen motor bikes, and at least three people tweaking on the floor. But they had it organized somehow.

>>This picture from the movie is really the vibe you'd get walking to a lot of their "pads".

How I found myself in this situation I was in the Young Communist League at the time. It's a direct CPUSA offshoot. These werid guys had people acting on their behalf inside the YCL people who would target the more down nnd out members. The ones who were broke isolated, maybe fresh out of rehab, layoffs, struggling with mental health, or bad home lifes. They'd gaslight you into thinking your "bourgeois tendencies" were holding you back, then offer you a spot in one of their "activist squat houses." If you acted too intellectual or too uncomfortable with their aggressive politics, they'd ship you to these places for "re education." but they didn't call it that of course. They were gaslighting people.

They had this thing called a "struggle period." The goal they said was to shed your bourgeois brain patterns. What that meant in practice is they'd disconnect you from your family, make you quit your job, and ration your food. You'd get maybe $220 a week if you were lucky and showing "progress" but realistically 80 bucks. They'd make you do physical labor around the squat for hours, general repairs, cleaning, hauling scrap, fixing holes in the walls. Then theory classes. Then physical conditioning. Pushups and burpees until you puked. I saw a kid start crying during a study session about Maoist mass line after intense workouts, and they made him do more pushups while sobbing. "Learn to handle tension," they'd say.

They'd also suit up in full riot gear, helmets, shields, retractable batons and have you charge at each other in an abandoned warehouse. They'd swing those batons for real. People got bruised ribs, bloody noses. They called it "stress inoculation." If you complained, they'd say you were being a "petty‑bourgeois intellectual, who needed to learn how to handle brute force".

One kid, maybe 19, said he wanted to go back to his neighborhood. Just wanted to see his mom. They basically kidnapped him. Made him homeless. Forced him to sleep on the pavement for 2 months. They had some of their freight train riders and tweaker lackeys "mentor" him on how to survive. The goal was to "build character" and "truly learn the struggle."

They printed their own papers. Held classes on theory and praxis. The stuff they taught was almost identical to what Juche guys post here. shit word for word sometimes. The same critiques of the NGO‑left, the same calls for a distributed vanguard (this word was said every day in the squats), the same glorification of lumpen energy. But they conveniently leave out the part where they psychologically break people and turn them into disposable cadres.

I'm not saying everyone in that orbit is like this. But I saw it with my own eyes. And the fact that their stories match up so perfectly with the theory they were teaching in those squats? Makes you wonder. Maybe the creepy parts are just the parts they don't post about. This isnt even the half of it. They were absolutely mad. Started talking about "the maoist street code", still have no idea that that means.

GamerGate: A retrospective

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-commercial erotica (hence why post-collapse Eastern Europe became a thriving heaven for porn). The modern left thought that selling out on the 1970s sex positivity to appease radfems was worth it despite handing the right a victory. I mean, remember that time Reddit’s r/socialism mods went apeshit over catgirl anime edits even tho it was done a female leftist member and it was just SFW anime girls but with cat ears edited on them? Yh, that’s the level of discourse you’re dealing with when it comes to sex-negative leftists.

Of course, there’s the issue of ageism, and ohh boy is that big. There’s this attitude among both the centre and the left where young men are often infantilised as being lost sheeple or stigmatised over their age in ways that would be alienating if done to other demographics, so the end result is young men flocking to the right precisely because they don’t think they will have any stakes in the left. Seniors are supposed to help youths who are proven to be determined to fight for the revolution, not throw’ em away for violating some HR-mandated code. It’s one thing to maintain decorum in conversations and being opposed to extremism, but you won’t get far if you try to overpolice on every little convo your members have.

What’s the takeaway from me then? The left rejecting sex-positivity and embracing ageism were its two biggest mistakes that cost them an entire generation.

P.S.: It’s one thing to oppose sexual hierarchies that devalue humans, it’s another to devalue the body and the Eros in and of themselves. The left shouldn’t necessarily embrace prostitution, but it also shouldn’t embrace sex-negativity either. I would personally suggest reviving the free sex movement because, if sex does become widely available under a secular sex positive society, then obviously prostitutes and porn studios and pimps would be out of business. That’s why Marx often noted how traditionalist marital moralism coexisted with prostitution, with or without its prohibition. But I’m open for other suggestions.

Again, can’t say if it’s said already or not, but I do think those points need to be hammered home as it seems that the left prior to the Gaza genocide was struggling to remain relevant, especially as Big tech right figures like Musk and Thiel were pumping a shit ton of dollars to aid the remnants of the alt-right to carve their mockingbird network out of it; their work has paid off in the form of the current unholy MAGA and alt-right and neocon nexus that I’d like to call “white neoconservatism with Enoch Powell characteristics”, with Australia’s and Canada’s brightest minds Drew Pavlou and Captive_Dreamer starting out differently only to end up being rabid racist neocons.

So yh: Sex-negativity and Ageism are bad things, folks.

What is socialism? What does it mean to be a socialist?

Let's really boil it down. Simplify it. Make it something anyone can understand and digest.

To be a socialist is to be Goku in this clip.

It is to see the suffering, the callous death of innocents at the hands of those reckless with all-consuming imperialist power and to stand the hell up. Despite the pain of living in a world so brutal that a life can be traded for a few dollars and a weapons contract.

It is to be so robustly optimistic that you cannot falter, because you know you are on the side of what is righteous and good. Even in the face of power and cruelty expressed so unadulteratedly.

He holds the bird. He bares witness to the bird's death. He gives his energy to the bird. He sobs and takes what he has and restores the bird's live, and that restoration is what gives him the energy to transform. Only in the acceptance of the pain of another is he able to reach his own potential. It is solidarity that gives us breath.

"You didn't do anything wrong. I can't…"

Can't bear to continue on? Can't bear to look away?

"I kill when I want to. The weak die and the strong survive," says Cooler.

"Alright then. We'll play by your rules," says Goku.

It echoes Fanon. The Indigenous subject who's had enough and meets the colonizer in the only language they understand: violence.

There's something about the moment when the protagonist has had enough of the enemy's nihilistic, nothing-matters nonsense. Oh, we're the strongest. Oh, we're fighting to the death. Oh it's some grand tournament. Oh your scouter said this is the power level. It doesn't matter. None of that shit matters. The scouter explodes for a reason.

What matters is the reality that people who don't give a fuck about your immaterial nonsense are being killed, maimed, brutalized. From the birds who steadily see their numbers shrink year after year, to the men and women who struggle to feed themselves with each toiling day after toiling day while the rich feast.

It's a constant. Some must be exploited so a select few can profit. And then the game is revealed to be bullshit. Enough is enough.

"The whole planet is shaking! We're all going to die!"

That's the crisis of capitalism.

We have to fight. But the bird? It didn't do anything wrong.

Historical overview: ML-MZT vs MLM vs M3W

The replies of thread ~~>>2766805~~ have been so poor I intended to make a new thread, giving a historical overview of the last few decades of the communist movement.

>What is the difference between:
>Mao Zedong Thought [ML-MZT]
>Maoism-ThirdWorldism [M3W]
<Missing: >Classical Marxism-Leninism-Maoism [classical MLM]. Exemplified by Communist Party of the Philippines and Communist Party of India (Maoist) as key leaders and influences.
>Gonzalo Thought [aka "MLM-pM" and "Gonzaloism"]
>How interrelated are they?

Comrades. don't forget these tools:
<Historical materialism.
<General-Particular-General dialectical spiral in analysis.
<Never capitulate proletarian leadership to reactionary classes.
<Analyze the contradictory relationship of petty-bourgeois ideology to scientific socialism-communism throughout time, which always ends just yesterday.

<50s-70s:
ML-MZT is a part of the revolutionary pole of Marxism-Leninism, along with Socialist Albania and the still revolutionary wave of subsequent parties, red armies and masses internationally basing themselves on this praxis; which fought the reactionary turn that resulted in numerous setbacks in the international workers movement during the post-war period. Influenced both by the hot wars waged in US imperialism's so-called "Cold War" as well as the now great power chauvinist USSR having capitulated the weapon of Lenin and transforming into a social-imperialist obstacle, funding pacifist reformist, anti-revolutionary parties the world over. Mao, in direct communication with parties seeking revolutionary guidance all over the world clarifies a tactical point on protracted peoples war [PPW]: it is a tactic working specifically for semi-colonial / semi-feudal areas and not for largely urbanized or imperialist countries, where the "October road" tactic should be used. This is important to keep in mind later on in the post.
CPP forms in the 60s around Marcos dictatorship period. The party is influenced by ML-MZT.
TKP/ML forms in the 70s in the midst of Turkish state anti-communist repression. Party leader Kaypakkayakaya assassinated early. Reorganizations and splits define this early period until mid 90s.

<80s-90s:
MLM appears as a group of competing interpretations, tendencies, backgrounds (and eventual results), trying to assess the lessons of the Chinese revolution and the potential nature of Maoism as a new stage of development. Abimael Guzman ("Gonzalo") gains influence thinking he has found a "new synthesis" after a trip to China during the Cultural Revolution. The Revolutionary Internationalist Movement [RIM] formed in the mid 80s and peaking in influence in the mid to late 90s, dissolving from inactivity in the early 2010s. Foundational and leading parties were PCP-SL (Gonzalo), RCPUSA (Avakian), TKP/ML and a south asian multitude Maoist groups (pre early 2000s period of reorganization, consolidation and major growth). They end up drawing dispairate conclusions on the fundational question of what 'Maoism'"is".
PCP-SL launches their campaign in the Peruvian countryside, elevating the principal nature of Maoism having been uncovered through 'Gonzalo Thought', growth is made easier in part by the social emiseration through hyperinflation initiated during the social fascist presidency of Alan García. A wrecked population and particularly peruvian agricultural workers of indigenous background, turned to the Maoists. President García commits suicide by gunshot (a rare poetic suicide, the political-economic actions of his admin. clearly "hit the fan" in a similar sense) and is followed by Alberto Fujimori, a Japanese capitalist with deep connection to both Peruvian intelligence as well as supported by US intelligence now actively monitoring the situation). Fujimori is growing a political dynasty in Peru of which he hyper-exploits with clear disdain for the Peruvian people. Later it is revealed that his campaigns were funded and aided by the US, even militarily and that his side murdered more peruvians in the civil war. One tactic tactic utilized by the Fujimori dictatorship was the forced sterilization program disguised as public health / economic development, specifically targeting impoverished Peruvian indigenous women. 300.000 women were sterilized.
The PCP-SL tries to connect the rural base areas by growing into the urban environment. The civil war is now at its peak in a now military dictatorship. Having the entire hierarchy of the party written down and organized on a personal computer in the urban area he hides in, Gonzalo is a single point of failure. In '92 the Peruvian state finds him, raids the place and decapitates the party in one sweep. The Peruvian movement has still not recovered. It's partially due to 'Gonzalo Thought' proclaiming importance to Jefetura transl. 'Great Leadership' which places emphasis on a singular "Great Leader" being a key aspect this theoretical "advance".
RIM's "contribution" then was the announcing the universality of this Maoism, which also includes the "universality" of the PPW, around '93, following his capture.
CPP enters a Second Great Rectification in 1992, a key turn for the party's success, with adjusting their praxis, expelling a variety of negative elements that have managed to enter the organization(s) and which are inflicting problems. Some were literal Gorbachevites that wanted to liquidate the armed communist basis for the legal organizations, others were left-adventurists (people advocating tactics that sound like 90s LatAm adventurists, whether Gonzaloist or Guevarists). CPP seeks to persecute these elements. CPP adopts MLM, without adding 'Gonzalo Thought' "contributions", or joining RIM. these years CPP struggles against such deviationist tendencies, reemerging as hostile parties, kept afloat by petty bourgeois sympathizers, gangster networks and reformists. CPP manages to persecute some (red areas constitute dual power, a state within the bourgeois state of the philippines), others happen to be killed (not proscribed party policy). Brief tumult ensues for some years in the philippine communist movement. CPP emerges victorious.
TKP/ML conflict with state escalates in the mid 90s, in a brutal power struggle. Its power base is the Kurdish community in Turkey. As I have limited info on the situation it's safe to limit the statement to the fact that the repression appears to remain unsuccessful as the culture of the region still is supportive (corresponding to Irish views of IRA / socialist republicans).
RCPUSA takes a turn away and in the late 90s "creates" "his own" "synthesis". It becomes another cult. Today they mostly protest and theatrically praise Bob Avakian himself in the manner a black book of communism chapter would characterize what a socialist mode of production is.
In the 90s M3W is formed as less of a political force and more of… an art project, in North America. Their activity consists of media engagement, primarily online. Their "theoretical elaboration" (that the proletariat in any imperialist nation is structurally incapable of revolution) deviate from MLM and MZT theory and practice, while retaining the militant verbiage and symbolism. They don't last more than a decade in terms of noticeable output, are still technically existing today as "MIM (Prisons)" which also still just posts stuff online, which can be described as "bizarro US exceptionalism".

On the other hand there is this really weird cultish behavior around it that just makes me feel suspicious. "Let's rewrite everything in Rust", forcing it into existing software without a clear use case other than just "it's better", overstating the language's capabilities and robustness, very much a kind of "toxic positivity" around it as in the whole Linux Kernel shitshow earlier this year, and the fact that it's being pushed by corpos and the US government.

Red Metal

As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?

To start things off, I'd highly recommend the Panopticon album "Kentucky," which is a BM album about the state's history with labor organizing among coal miners, as well as the coal industry's destruction of the state's natural beauty. It's not a perfect album by any means but the way it mixes BM with bluegrass is cool, plus it has an incredibly redpilled message.

Fears over Ethiopia peace deal as TPLF restores Tigray government
The TPLF said its central committee “has decided to reinstate the Tigray Government Assembly (parliament), which had been suspended in the name of peace”. The statement accused the federal government of violating the 2022 Pretoria Agreement, which ended the war, and of provoking armed conflict within the Tigray region. It also accused the government of withholding funds to pay local civil servants.

Macron meets Tusk to discuss possible Polish role in French nuclear deterrence
While France has specified it would retain full control over the decision to use force, Polish forces could contribute in areas such as early warning and air defence, both sides say. The public display of closer relations between the countries reflected adaptation by European Union nations of a changed threat environment, and to US President Donald Trump publicly disparaging NATO and toying with the idea of pulling his country out of the alliance.

Romania plunges back into political turmoil as Social Democrats move to topple PM
Party leader Sorin Grindeanu accused Bolojan, who presides over the center-right National Liberal Party, of leading an austerity campaign that has damaged Romania’s economy and exploded the cost of living for Romanians. “PSD can no longer be held captive while our social base is being destroyed,” Grindeanu told top party members in Bucharest Monday, using an acronym for the Social Democrats.

Fencing off and demolition disrupts lives of 40 families in Aklan
At least 40 families were disrupted by the forced fencing and blocking of passageways in a community on Calachuchi Road, Barangay Andagao, Kalibo, Aklan on April 15. These prepare for the planned eviction and demolition of the community after self-identified landowner Jesus Daroy arrived. The community was surrounded with metal sheets caging residents, including the elderly, pregnant women, and children.

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

What will happen when Trump invades Cuba?

Unfortunately after choking Cuba for months after starving it for 67 years Trump is probably going to invade Cuba because after getting humiliated by Iran it s clear that this sociopath wants to reestablish his dominance and the American Empires dominance by doing regime change in Cuba, there is no justification for doing this other than the fact that America is a rouge state. It is not looking good for the Cuba because it is obvious that all of the Latin American vassals won't do anything, Putin will probably promise not to do anything in exchange for more of Ukraine, and China will condemn the invasion but China still trades with Israel so they won't do anything. So Cuba is on its own but what will happen because unlike in Venezuela were there was opposition parties and stuff I don't think that the US will be able to work with parts of the government so who knows what they will do, and if there is a state of war the obvious thing to do would be for Cuba do what Iran did and punish the Florida keys but Cuba has no missiles but they have tons of Soviet-era tanks so maybe they will try to retake Guantanamo bay. And technology has advances since the Bay of Pigs invasion so Amerikkka will probably target civilians with drones and since we live in hell all of the Guanos will cheer as Trump blows up their extended family members. But what do you think will happen?

The Secret Intelligence Service

Your standard Homo sapiens, is a hunting spider; separate from the Homo neanderthalis, a water strider.

Thus, the two lines of mutable, diverge and become other life cycles.

If an ESP, with their allergy of peat bog lichens, dill, is given as a child, then it's a Witch; not a Witch Hunter, but an Inquisitor; applying codes of queer to the homosexual by choice, not by breed of Lotus, man or woman or bull or police custodian.

This outing, we faced the Ayatollah Khameini; using Nixon's 1968 campaign, "sacrifice", as the arrest or per support, out of nuclear enrichment for the Middle East; the end to the oil market, their link with Great Britain; Lemura, North Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Papua New Guinea, Jamaica, the Caymans, and Bermuda.

All Navy conning stations, through the main battle fleet; Saudi Arabia's army in hiding, the British Fleet.

British Royal Intelligence sought us during World War 2, to defeat Adolf Hitler, their rogue better's agent; German Counter-Terror sought us during the War in Vietnam, to remove Pravda and Gulda Meir, The Jackal.

And now you see American Intelligence, through the Mafia, selecting us again.

This time, a small squad; Allie Gaetano, ground chuck beef, Christine Surka, the scent of cannabis, and Dave Charlebois, the texture and chew of tomato nightshade.

"The Slim Jim Rule", "Free the Weed", "Gotham".

To remove townships found in police treachery; the misery of the poor, held per common entertainment as per British Rich.

Catch you on the flip side, Boondock Saints.

I was talking to a lumpen

I was talking to a lumpen worker happy that a liberal socialdemocrat won the election, he thinks that the succdem is a "man of the people, he will fix everything". And we talked for a bit yelling. But it got me thinking, the lumpen had no problem with the ruling class as long as his needs were met, and for the large part even in spite of the miserable manual labour - were being met. So why do we demand an economy of needs - production planned on needs "from each according to their ability to each according to their need" if capitalism already fulfills their needs? They will still work, not for wages but it would be the same jobs. Its just that the drive for profit and class causes damage to the planet and misery for the manual laborers but as long as their needs are met they don't really care. They don't want planned production they want somebody else to think for them and most have just accepted their roles in contempt so feel no need for a DOTP - ruling is somebody else's problem to them.
Plus the lumpen laugh at the size of the "real movement" - how many are you? You're too little to change anything.
Lumpens do admire China but China doesn't care for anything besides its own citizens.

Lodge Challenge

Each country of major, minor, or revolutionary repute, has had The Lodge; since Gilgamesh and their invention of the longsword, now seen in the glaive or 9MM pistol.

Religion, is the name of the game; the city hall accountant, in charge of all the hard liquor.

You have a Lodge thumb, on your right hand, ages eight to eleven, when you practice your Lotus and combat sports.

After that, it's a study of your country's laws, through your personal patent being offered.

Jim Madison, the US Constitution; the King Class A Cigarette, at your service.

And if someone bends your wrist, you have the Lodge Challenge; somebody has claimed you are marked falsely, to be struck down in your method of election.

Unless you de-Lodge old Gaetano the Sumerian.

Then you have President Biden, Gaetano, and a trip to Mecca, for a "vaccine".

Nostalgia cartoons that hold up

I was watching a cartoon from my child and realized that the saturday morning cartoon generation lucked out. Other than some outliers like avatar or adventuretime, the good stuff was 90s-early naughty aughties. This is not just nostalgia but demonstrably true as merch from these cartoons is still popular as ever for kids. I work as a substitute teacher and they still watch our old cartoons and it's actually super weird, I didn't watch captain kangaroo or whatever boomer crap my mom watched when i was a kid.

Batman Beyond Yeah, Batman is a billionaire who has kids running around in tights in his mansion and beats up environmentalists and poor people. But I'll always love the gimmicks and his "rouge's gallery" has the best gimmicks.
Batman Beyond he's not rich he's just a regular kid living in a much cooler dystopia than the one we wound up with. The animation and voice acting are both top notch.
Gargoyles- From the same animation bloc, with some legendary voice acting from Keith David, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes. A very 'serious' show that Disney wants us to forget that they ever produced.
ReBoot Ever what wonder what life inside a computer would be like if all the 0s and 1s were sentient? Well, a show like this will make a tech nerd scream but it's one of several quality early 3d CGI coming out of Canada during this period.
Animaniacs It's honestly amazing how much SFW 'adult' humor was snuck into these shows. I think I learned more about popculture from Wakko, Yakko, and Dot than anywhere else.
The SlayersThe first "real" anime I saw and it got me interested in anime and d&d style worlds.Pretty thought out lore and universe.

Matthew Lennox: Lincoln Lodge, his father a Bond villain of the highest mark; having betrayed civil rights, to saving the black man; not their preference or right, preferring to be separate but different, not separate but equal.

Jenna Williamson Marisco: "The Jackal", a woman's role; since St. Peter, the "harness"; a strapon inside out, for a child of the Virgin Mary; the crucifiction of Brian, Joseph Biden, for making love and not marrying a dyke; still remember in King James' legend, of prosecuting Dr. Fian.

everybalids gonna hate this take but what if we just keep coming up with new exploitative modes of production after capitalism is over and never actually abolish exploitation itself.

every mode of production so far was abolished by a new middle strata

slavery (masters vs slaves): abolished by feudal lords, not masters or slaves
serfdom (lords vs serfs): abolished by bourgeoisie, not lords or serfs
capitalism (bourgeoisie vs proletariat): i predict will be abolished by party bureaucrats, not by bourgeoisie or proletarians
imperialism (1st world vs 3rd world): similarly I think the solution will come from the 2nd world

The Palantir Manifesto

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Originally, I had read Engels' Anti-Duhring, in which he argues that dialectical analysis is essentially a physical interaction, which, in human societies, translate into different classes fighting for their existence and needs (i.e. the bourgeoisie wants low salaries, the proletariat needs higher salaries, conflict occurs = law of interpenetration of opposites). The argument is very "physicalist" and relies on seeing nature as a totality in constant mutation.

Is communism relevant at all?

Not sure if this board is suited for Q&A, but I’ll have to arrange myself as an ancap.

Is communism relevant at all?

If you think about it, Marx and many communists and socialists of his times thought that the first communist revolution would occur in one of Europe’s most industrialised places, namely England and Germany where there was a more substantial working class. Instead, the two most successful communist revolutions in history, the ones that produced lasting communist governments as opposed to the short-lived ones of Hungary and Bavaria, occurred in the heavily agrarian countries of Russia and China. Whilst the Russian empire did have some relatively minor industrial sector (albeit it still relied on serfs and their indebted descendants for most of its labor) compared to its European peers, China was still an agrarian society and even with modernisation under the republican post-Qing Kuomintang, China was by and large made up of peasants as opposed to proles. Same goes for Cuba, whose tourism and agriculture forms the backbone of its economy as opposed to industry, and Cuba is nowadays the only country on Earth to have anything approaching a genuine command economy.

Most communist revolutions thereafter heavily relied on Soviet or Chinese support throughout the Cold War, with many communist governments either falling (e.g., South Yemen) or switching to socdem/neolib economics (e.g., Angola) following the cut of Soviet aid.
For the global north, most of its citizenry work in the tertiary and primary sectors such as agriculture and IT as opposed to industry, as is the case in Britain, America, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, etc… Germany and France are the only countries one can think of with an actual manufacturing sector, but those have been on the decline in recent years. That leaves us with South Korea and Japan in terms of having a strong manufacturing sector, and even then the tertiary sector of those countries makes up the biggest share of their economies.

As for the global south, the lack of industrialisation due to both the global north disincentivising them from it as well as national governments being unwilling to risk their resources on a gamble whose dividends will only manifest after generations means that much of the global south is either agrarian, service-oriented, or in the case of India both agrarian and FIRE-oriented.

So the ideology of communism, who tries to appeal to the proletariat, is irrelevant for the majority of both the global north and global south. That’s not all, as communists to this day still haven’t been able to resolve their own contradictions such as the question of the vanguard party. For Marx, a worker’s revolution was inevitable in the industrialised world due to the contradictions of capitalism. And yet not only was that not true as capitalism continued to thrive, but the communist revolutions that Marx theorised happened in largely agrarian Russia and China, in both cases after they became war-torn and following years of civil wars. So how did his successors try to make sense of it?

For Stalin’s Marxist-Leninism, the necessity of a vanguard party was essential for a revolution, while for Mao’s Maoism peasants were prole as well. But none of those account for people’s personal motives nor solve Marx’s deterministic dilemma, nor confront how communist societies as they existed first formed. Can’t forget how the ENTIRE Soviet bloc, Yugoslavia, the Derg, communist Somalia, South Yemen, Venezuela, Grenada, etc… all fell because, at the end of the day, command economies just don’t work. That’s why all the remaining nominally communist states like Laos, Vietnam, China and Cuba have liberalised their economies to major extents that they are at most mixed economies not that much different than the social market economies of Scandinavia and Germany. North Korea only survives due to nukes and Chinese de facto aid, nothing more nothing much. Market capitalism has uplifted more people out of poverty than every socialist experiment in history, hence why all historically marginalised groups in the west like women, ethnic minorities, gays, transes, the disabled, atheists, Jews, etc… have all pivoted towards capitalism eventually. And that’s something few leftists want to acknowledge or willing to do so lest they confront their priors.

Perhaps communists should admit that their ideology was formulated by a bunch of men who made erroneous predictions about the future, and whose ideas are now practically irrelevant for anything other than geopolitics, which is why most leftist discourse focuses on geopolitics over the issues at said ideologues’ homes.

I should also note that historical materialism fails to explain deeply ideological conflicts like the Crusades. While some may appeal to Michael Hudson, two key things stand out:

He isn’t a Marxist historian, just a heterodox economic historian
He only explains the financial motive behind the Vatican’s crusades in Europe, but not the northern nor Near Eastern ones.

All in all, I do think commies should actually ponder on the relevance of their ideas as opposed to waffling about geopolitics. Sure, so much of the US treasurer and those of the EU are directly or indirectly going towards geopolitical ventures, but that still isn’t pedestrian enough for committing commoners to a revolution.

So, how many are willing to address this beyond theorymaxxing?

team fortress 2 dramatics and general

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

This video was announced months hitherto its release, and was desperately awaited by many members of the TF2 community specifically because the consequences of that aforementioned 2016 update [further viewing material: https://youtu.be/IZpuYF__NUU] that were utterly forgotten by the community. The video stands as a very calmly-worded, neutral, but descriptive deep-dive into TF2's development, TF2's release state, TF2's early updates, the culture within Valve relating to moneymaking practices, the TF2 community's culture, the failings of Meet Your Match, and even a 40-minute shamefest saying "so many TF2 youtubers actively were fine with the game being made worse for a stupid grift" thereafter.

Nowadays the bitching surrounding the game is split into two camps. A seeming minority of almost neoliberal-like individuals who seem to have issues grasping reality - I compare them to neoliberals because trying to explain to them that an MMR-matchmaking system for a game as uncontrolled and loose as TF2 is stupid and time-wasting, is like explaining to your boomer relatives that no you cannot buy a $600k house on your current salary. It's literally impossible, they deny reality at every turn for some reason, and there is for whatever reason institutional bias in their favour. Probably something to do with the Emporium, a literal cartel surrounding the TF2 workshop, because money is the usual motive for bullshit like this.

This camp of people has been coming out with progressively worse and worse takes from the large YouTubers occupying said camp. I'm not going to post the videos, but I recall two particularly bad videos which came out this week that clearly had a script written by someone who wanted to make a point - one of these videos is two fucking hours, and is well-edited throughout. But… these people came out with some of the worst takes imaginable. The TF2 community had been unironically protesting and petitioning Valve to make positive changes to the game. Most of them worked out exactly as the community had wanted. One individual thinks that now the game is barely playable, that players should stop pestering Valve for improvements. Their reasoning? "Valve just won't do it". Another YouTuber wanted to defend the Competitive TF2 community by saying they weren't directly responsible for the Meet Your Match update. Obviously true, if not a little willing to sweep events under the rug here-and-there. But when this person spent literal hours trying to compare Team Fortress 2, a first person shooter from 2007, to fucking Street Fighter II - including a dissertation of a few of its game mechanics, over the span of half an hour out of a 2-hour long video - it's clear that they have very little evidence to go off of.

The other camp is the increasingly populist camp of people who just want Valve to unfuck the game lol. I bring this up because it's vaguely similar to a very burgerpunk-coded concept of class politics.

Unholy Alliance

Honest question (NOT trolling):

What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?

I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?

I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.

The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

Why does Trump support Israel so much?

At first I always believed that Trump was not religious and only used religion as a Slopulist tool to get support from the zealots who inhabit the Bible-belt and his Israel support was clearly just AIPAC and the Oil Lobby motivating him, however I wonder if there is something deeper, the Iran thing has actually hurt the markets and Trump seems to be operating out outside of capital for once so I wonder if he is more religious than I thought or if he is a senile philosemite who spent so much time around rich jewish people in New York that he think that Jews are magic money people, So then the more Satanyahu strokes Trump's ego the more he will do whatever he says.

I know their Gods like Yue Lao or Wenchang exist but what drives them in the absence of religion? What does East Asia have to look forward too because at the very least South and Southeast Asia has Gods and magick.

The American 'Proletariat' Does Not Exist

The American 'working class' produce zero surplus value through their net nonproductive labor and physically cannot sustain themselves due to deindustrialization. Each and every single lumpen settler owes more than forty trillion in exports to repay their debt to the rest of the planet and survives off the surplus labor of non-americans from Berlin to Siberia. Even ignoring the countless acts of terrorism committed by the burgereich, the consumerism of treats must end. As the pedotariat of epsteinland must work for several years and export to maybe repay even 30 percent of what occupied turtle island owes to the non-american surplus value producing global proletariat.

Any strawman that does not address the largest trade deficit that will ever exist shall be ignored.

The primary contradiction in non-AES Global South countries is not "foreign-bourg vs national-bourg" but rather, it's "industrial capitalist vs financial capitalist".

An imperialist foreign Western capitalist who builds a factory and develops the productive forces by outsourcing and transferring technology and capital is infinitely more progressive than a "patriotic" "sovereign" nationalist financial capitalist or service capitalist.

Countries that realized this simple fact, like South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Indonesia etc are able to develop and massively increase their standard of living.

Countries that misguidedly pursued "sovereignty" instead via protectionism and over regulation, like many post-colonial countries, suffered from stagnation. Those countries were actually scammed by their "patriotic" bourgeoisie to protect their local capital from competition that would have built industry and improved their standard of living.

Therefore, being blindly anti-imperialist by default is not useful. Collaborating with foreign and domestic industrial giants while keeping both domestic and foreign finance at bay should be the primary goal of socialists in these countries.
