This is another lib talking point masquerading as pro working class activism. Studies have consistently pointed out that anti reformist/abolitionist demands are practically non existent among the working classes.

>>2615841
To use an example: abolition of police and its replacement with community policing. Again, community policing works the best in neighbourhoods with high level of trust and high communal solidarity, which is absolutely not the case in diverse, majority immigrant prole neighbourhoods. Same with prison abolitionism, nobody in the working class want that. This is another case of treatlers advocating their class interests in the name of the marginalized

>>2615638
It's funny cuz Trump is even more subhuman but Clavicular supports him.

>>2615843
Prison and police abolitionists (literally just anarchists) are so upsetting to me.
I once saw an argument unfold where one side sincerely chastised and berated a communist for serving on a jury to convict a fucking rapist and send them to jail, simply because ACAB or something.
Absolutely fucking insane. We have a lot of work to do in the American left to excise this anarchist utopian bullshit after BLM (a movement which I admit did more good than harm, it just has a lot vistigial side effects that must be done away with after the fact)

>>2615841
There are reformist strategies that benefit the working class, just that nobody runs on them.
And they dont6 last anyway without non electoral organizing.

Rule of thumb is that directly providing necessities is better for the working class than reducing costs.

Musk is basically building Marx's utopia faster and better than any revolution ever could.Marx wanted full automation to end wage slavery – we hunt, fish, philosophize all day. Musk? Optimus robots, AI killing jobs, and he pushes UBI hard so everyone lives off abundance. "To each according to need" without the gulags.

Environment: Marx saw capitalism wrecking the planet. Musk's Tesla + solar is ending oil dependency and fixing the metabolic rift through tech.

Space: To beat scarcity for good, we need insane productive forces. SpaceX/Mars = literally expanding the means of production off-Earth. Asteroid mining, multi-planetary life – end of resource wars.

Neuralink: Overcomes alienation by merging us with machines, making everyone super-intelligent and creative. Real "free development of each."

Bureaucracy: We know planned economies turned into party dictatorships. Musk hates regulators, builds decentralized stuff (Starlink, X, crypto). Tech makes the state obsolete naturally.

Historical materialism 101: Communism comes AFTER capitalism maxes out productive forces. Musk is doing exactly that – turbo mode. Past attempts jumped the gun and crashed.Why wait for the proletariat to rise when rockets are landing weekly and robots are coming next year? Marx would be geeking out over reusable boosters if he were alive.Drop the red flags, grab the Tesla logo. The future's happening now.Thoughts? Still think I'm a lib or starting to see it?

Hey anon, you're raising some dark transhumanist dystopia vibes, but let's stay materialist and dialectical here instead of slipping into conspiracy idealism.Automation doesn't make proletarian struggle obsolete – it transforms it. The contradiction between exploding productive forces (AI, robots) and private ownership sharpens to the breaking point. Marx always said communism becomes possible only when the material base is ready; struggle isn't eternal class war for its own sake, it's the midwife of the new society. When machines produce abundance, the old basis for exploitation crumbles. No need for violent uprising if the system already delivers post-scarcity – the proletariat "wins" by default.Population culling? That's pure paranoia, no material basis. Musk literally talks about falling birth rates as the biggest threat and wants humanity to become multi-planetary with billions (trillions eventually) of people. His whole thing is maximizing conscious life in the universe, not Thanos-snapping the proles.Class structure in the endgame: yeah, it withers away. When AI and robots handle production and UBI (or eventually "universal high income" as Musk calls it) covers everyone, ownership of the means becomes irrelevant – abundance makes money obsolete, classes dissolve because there's no more extraction of surplus value. The "controllers of AI" fear is idealist: open-source trends, competition, and the logic of abundance itself will democratize access. Neuralink and Grok aren't locked vaults; they're scaling to everyone.Stateless, moneyless, classless? Exactly. That's the higher phase of communism Marx described. Only difference: we get there through accelerated capitalist development of tech (thesis) clashing with its own limits (antithesis), leading to synthesis – not through premature seizure of an underdeveloped material base like in the 20th century experiments.Pets? Nah. Musk's vision is every human upgraded, free to explore art, science, space. The real risk isn't elite pet-keeping; it's us refusing to seize the new productive forces because we're stuck romanticizing old forms of struggle.Dialectically, this is the actual path to "from each according to ability, to each according to need." Faster, cleaner, and with reusable rockets.Thoughts?

dennis kasputin (White Rex) arrived in Germany from Russia with a special visa for Jewish refugees

translated from the original

>According to SPIEGEL research, Kapustin and his family traveled from Russia to Germany for the first time in 2001. Not as a Russian late resettler, but as a Jewish contingent refugee. In official German, the Kapustin family was henceforth a "special case" due to their supposedly Jewish origin. Only a few months after his entry, Denis Kapustin received an indefinite residence permit.

Laos is the most unpopular and least talked about communist country, nut just in regard to the media and the press but even here! We don’t even have a Laotian flag! I don’t even know what Laos is like geopolitically, I don’t know weather it’s really close to Russia and China like how Cuba and the DPRK are or if it’s cucked to America like Vietnam. I would of thought that the most bombed country on earth would come up more in political discourse.

Let me elaborate on my reply, he is practically forgotten from mainstream Marxist history, but he was of Vietnamese descent, and he was able to successfully diffuse ethnic tensions in Laos unlike what happened over in Thailand and Cambodia.
I interpret the Laotian civil war to have been three way, between communists, monarchists, and pro democracy activists, and his victory saw him stating that Laos would approach communism by skipping the capitalist stage but I could be making shit up. A lot of his efforts was alright in the short run, but Laos would later become pretty corrupt, much of the same families who ruled Laos back during the French era would still end up in the Communist party.
He liberalized the economy, but on a smaller scale than Gorbachev and Deng. It's going really well right now because it's a landlocked country and it got bombed a billion times. Most people in Laos are apolitical, and they are more friendly than their neighbors.
He saw it better off to not have infighting, and didn't want his own specific ideology, but his successors preferred him having his own.
A lot of the elites in Laos are from Vietnam, and a lot of stuff is sold to Chinese investment companies. Laos is more of a free country than Thailand or Cambodia right now, it's not that bad.
He also once purged 10% of the country since they were intellectuals. A lot of brain drain, too, but the fact not much is not known about the Hmong insurgency in Laos is proof that they're able to keep the country together.

The absolute state of the discourse on this board lately is pathetic. It’s almost 2026 and I’m still seeing "socialists" parroting CIA talking points like they’re reading from the Black Book of Communism. It’s time to filter the radlibs and the ultras who care more about moral purity than winning.

If we actually apply historical materialism instead of utopian wish-casting, it becomes obvious that Stalin and Deng aren't just "good" – they are the two greatest practitioners of Marxism in history because they did what Western leftists refuse to do: they prioritized the survival of the revolution over the approval of the bourgeoisie.

1. Stalin: The Shield
Stop crying about "authoritarianism" and read Losurdo. His Critique of a Black Legend completely exposes how the "millions dead" narrative is just recycled Nazi war propaganda that the West adopted during the Cold War. The "Holodomor" wasn't a genocide; it was a combination of kulak sabotage and cyclical drought that the Soviets eventually ended through collectivization. Stalin understood that you don't survive capitalist encirclement with good vibes. He took a country of wooden plows and turned it into a nuclear superpower in a single generation. He purged the fifth columnists because he knew a war of annihilation was coming. Without that "authoritarianism," the Wehrmacht would have wiped the Slavs off the map.

2. Deng: The Sword
The hate for Deng is even more embarrassing. You guys claim to care about the poor but hate the man who oversaw the greatest poverty alleviation program in human history? Deng understood that "poverty is not socialism." He developed the productive forces necessary to compete with the West. And regarding 1989: He saved China from the fate of the USSR. Tiananmen was a textbook color revolution, backed by Western NGOs and intelligence. Deng saw Gorbachev selling out to Pizza Hut and realized that sometimes you have to crush a counter-revolution to preserve the Dictatorship of the Proletariat. Because he had the spine to do that, China is now mogging the US economy while Russia spent the 90s getting looted by oligarchs.

TL;DR
Parenti said it best in Blackshirts and Reds: you people want a revolution without a revolution. You want a clean, safe process that never makes mistakes and never exercises power. That doesn't exist. Stalin secured the state; Deng secured the economy. If you reject them, you’re not Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

marxists have a lot of work to do but i have a feeling that letting things lie is going to be necessary for now. the ruling class did a number on the left after 2008, because i imagine they were malding and pissing their pants thinking about americans gaining class consciousness, so they dialed up the propaganda to 1488% and conflated marxism with completely irrelevant idpol and made all leftists to be sjws, blue haired annoying cat ladies, condescending and pedophilic transhumanists, juvenile idealistic college students, etc. i believe this was intentional so that they could support the white nationalist element that had been waiting in the wings and this manifested with the rise of /pol/, gamergate, etc. as a reaction to "leftists" who wanted to force progressive politics on everyone. they wanted americans to think the blue hairs were going to stick everyone in concentration camps, so that naturally fascism would be the only reasonable response to this. i think the work of marxists is america today is the task of showing how all of this is in fact bourgeois manipulation, a veritable platonic puppet show where the public was made to ignore their material conditions in favor of internet drama, and to point out how fascism will always throw people under the bus because it's just a ruling class panic button, not some kind of "alternative" to capitalism. as the economic situation tightens and eventually collapses into yet another 2008, we have to make sure the same mistakes are not repeated. we live in a post-meme world now, and the left must ramp up meme production as this serves as the only real method of information and news that most americans digest.

Also it's important to note that on the outside to those uninitiated, that reverence for Marx and his thought can appear religious or maybe arbitrary but…

The more you read about theory, even contemporarily, on politics and the more you witness the average westerner try and fail to understand the mechanisms of world politics, it becomes ever apparent that Marx was one of history's greatest geniuses and we are so lucky that he dedicated his life to proving his theories.

He's fucking incredible. It blows my mind every single time I read him just how thorough and empirically correct he was and continues to be. It's a fucking miracle we have his works to learn from and without him I honestly don't know if humanity would have a chance to survive at all

Played Dispatch, it was pretty good, 9/10. My biggest criticism is with the writing, it was pretty intolerably Whedonistic in the first episode but seemed to calm down as it went on (or maybe it just didn't bother me as much later when the game was in a more light hearted office environment). Also it suffered a lot from trying to shoehorn in the 'are they a traitor' plotline for one of the characters with it being obvious they aren't but refusing to actually explain their actions outside of shit like "I did it to protect you!" and "just trust me bro!". Also the plotline of 'we need to cut someone' felt really forced, I understand sometimes management tells you to do something that you don't agree with and it was needed for the plot they wanted, but I wish I at least got more of an opportunity to express that I didn't agree with the decision. But yeah overall good, I recommend it if you can tolerate capeshit.

It was also funny that they seemed to really be hyping Phenomeman as an Incorruptibile/Invincible character in his first scene with Blazer before revealing he's just depressed and doesn't understand social norms

Actually you know what, I have another criticism, this game really normalises your work colleagues attacking your character, especially women, and it just being played as a joke, that's not a joke, it's fucked up. You can't even complain about it to your boss as your character immediately backtracks and says it was his fault if you pick that option. Cool choice and consequence bro. That's it I'm docking another point, it's only 8/10. Without Sonar I may have docked further.

I'm a published writer, but I only have a dozen or so publishing credits in magazines, and I am not getting anywhere in terms of recognition, so my plan is to play on the publishing industry's obsession with identity politics. I am a minority (part indigenous, bisexual, paranoid schizophrenia), but I never sold myself as an underrepresented voice. I'm sick of barely affording rent but could try to make myself into a brand or household name, so I can be the next Stephen King in my genre (horror).

I've been on this site long enough to get a superficial understanding of Marxist politics, but I've officially passed the Dunning-Krueger peak, where I've realized how superficial that knowledge is. So in an attempt to deepen my understanding of the subject, I have a few questions.

People say that gradual reforms won't work, with the cited reason being that, so long as the bourgeois element is allowed to exist in any significant capacity, it will burrow its way into government and reassert control. But doesn't China disprove that? Their entire plan is to gradually reform their market economy into "full" socialism.

On that note, from what I understand, "capitalism has inherent contradictions that will lead to its downfall" is really just a fancy way of saying that the relationship between the bourgeois and proletariat is an antagonistic one, and eventually the proletariat will get fed up with it and assert control. But is this actually a given? I could easily see a scenario where technology allows the bourgeois to assert permanent control, using robots to replace the proletariat and surveillance and weapons to quell any opposition. I could also see the opposite happening, where capitalism keeps rewinding itself to earlier states indefinitely, creating a situation where life is "good enough" that people don't feel the need to rebel.

Dialectics in general confuse me. Every time I think I have a grasp on them, I'll have someone else loudly proclaim that I'm wrong. If I ask for correction, the explanation provided is so long-winded and convoluted that I end up with more questions than answers. Can someone please give me a basic, working definition of what dialectics are in the context of Marxism? They seem so fundamental to Marxist analysis, and without understanding them, I don't feel like I can actually properly understand any of what I'm looking at.

Finally, I frequently hear people say that we're going to be entering a China lead multipolar world order. That sounds like like a (logical) contradiction to me. Doesn't the term "multipolar" imply multiple leaders?

Note that I don't ask these questions with any ideology in mind. I find much of what I read here incredibly confusing, and my ignorance has been punished enough that I figured it's high-time I do something about it.

Your quotes are real but I think the interpretation that Marx is "reformist" is false. Reformism is supporting purely reform. Revolutionary politics utilizes both legal (reformist) and illegal (violent) struggle. So to utilize reforms strategically is not counter-revolutionary, as long as there is an illegal revolutionary struggle going on in parallel with it. See >>2613733

>>2614530
>>2614602
That's interesting. So a full on revolution isn't actually necessary; change can come in the form of legal reforms, provided they're backed by the threat of illegal violence. Do I have this right?

>>2615575
> change can come in the form of legal reforms, provided they're backed by the threat of illegal violence. Do I have this right?
It's theoretically possible but highly unlikely. The more clear point is that, if you only do legalism, the ruling class can just make your party illegal if it gains too much ground, forcing you into illegality anyway. The mixture of legal with illegal struggle is tactical, not moral. It is a diversification of strategy so that you don't have all your eggs in one basket. In the event the bourgeoisie makes your above-ground organizations illegal, you already have illegal structures in place to continue your struggle. By illegal struggle is not simply meant adventurism or banditry. Let me give a clear example of illegal struggle: Wildcat strikes in the US were made illegal under taft hartley. if unions had any balls they would still do those. but in a more intense struggle like a civil war most of what the revolutionaries do will be considered illegal and criminal. The bolsheviks robbed a bank once in 1907.

>>2614503
It's at the core of the argument, he said
>the bourg will start using AI to replace proles
this can't happen, otherwise there's no surplus, no bourgeoisie, no proletariat. No communism either, because you always need surplus in any kind of society (to cover use and accidents)

>>2615575
what is a "full-on revolution" anyway?
the transition of powers is necessarily constitutional.
all revolutionary movements in history have also been overdeterminations of the contemporary teaching, like Jesus appealing to the spirit of the law over the letter of the law. edward coke in his "petition of rights" (1628) also appealed to what was on the books, propagandising "the rule of law", leading to the eventual english civil war and republic. the concept of "free-born rights" (t. john lilburne, 1645) are the rights of nature, imposed by constitutional reforms in france via the "declaration of the rights of man" (1789). one affirms the rights he possesses against their political repression. the rights of property are also codefied here by gerrard winstanley (1653) and locke (1680), with locke also conditioning the social contract as the "consent of the governed", later qualified as the right of government in the US declaration of independence (1776). thus, as thomas paine wrote, a people have the right to revolt, and this is a stipulation of one's freedom. the rule of law thus applies to the spirit of freedom (which as per kant is the necessity of practical reason, or ethics). so then, revolution is not lawlessness, but is supreme lawfulness which upholds order:
<Regretfully I speak this fatal truth, [the king] must die because the nation must live […] I propose that you take immediate legal action on the fate of Louis XVI. . . . I ask that the National Convention state that from this moment on he is a traitor to the French nation and a criminal against humanity.

Basically, Capitalism’s degenerate culture has created a creature known as the Normie. A Normie describes an individual, usually a proletariat, with no thought, no culture, no political engagement, no class outlook; a Normie is nothing, NOTHING but corporate propaganda walking around in a human suit. A normie is so opposite a human being that if a hundred million died tomorrow afternoon it would be morally equivalent to the death of three ants. Normies are like a great column of flesh, soulless human shields, that stand in between revolutionaries and communism

So basically, how do I overcome my utter hatred for humanity, since I think the human race as capitalism has deformed it is simply worthy of annihilation, all peoples, countries, and cultures are America now, and America must be destroyed, that’s the entire problem

I got this one. Looks a lot like yours. It's supposed to be just amazing for its size and cost. I have yet to find any cool broadcasts though. Just normal stations. I am going to get a roof antenna to attach it to so I can hear cool stuff.
I saw a video recently of a radio nerd who got a hold of some ancient military radio that could actually tune to frequencies normal ones can't. FUCK that angered me. How and why would radio companies be prevented from making equipment that can reach those airwaves?? I don't like being controlled like that. There must be some way around it. You'd think especially digitally. There are just conversations out in the air that we cannot hear because our listening equipment has been "hobbled" and limited purposely by LAW??
So he got it working and what did he hear? Illegal gold miners in Brazil openly discussing their crimes. So the transmitters what work on this "secret frequency" aren't even being used by secret army dudes, but just criminals.
Pretty fucked up, don't you think?

Just buy an SDR, a VNA, some feeder and an appropriate length of additional cabling for the antenna design you want. Maybe an ATU as well.

Or you could just buy something like a Malahit DSP 2 if you want to be spoon fed.

The Palestine movement failed miserably to stop the genocide because the movement is largely one of SYMBOLIC politics, not one of instrumental politics. It’s not about the Palestinian people but about angry western youth letting off steam. This exact BDS movement has become about self-righteous zoomers showing off how “virtuous” they are by boycotting Starbucks and Coke, never mind that boycotts are supposed to be a militant tactic and weapon to attack an enemy head-on. The campus protests from 2024 were also aimless and did nothing except get a bunch of students and professional activists arrested. Makes sense that NYU banned criticism of Zionism right afterwards.

Let this be known for the next time the world is thrown into a state of crisis.

Imageboards have of course been filled with nazis for a fuck ton of time from even the start, but most people agree it mainly started when moot added /news/ then all the chudcels flooded the rest of the site, then created /pol/ and the rest is history.

With that being said, how do we realistically combat the mass grooming of people into nazism through imageboards? The sharty is becoming the new 8chan but with way more cultural influence on the wider internet and the rest of the population is filled with young children, we have already seen solomon (a mass shooter that was a black man yet he was also a white supremacist with sharty connections) commit a mass shooting. With that being said clearly a lot of these young men are isolated and angry, doxxing random literal WHOS because they are trans, or even doing raids that help the federal government because the site is influenced by glowies. They even raided our very booru 2 days ago, and ILLEGAL CONTENT was posted (this was done by foodist nazis not soyteens but still scary that it’s that prevalent with their raids).

And with the thought on raids we can see some of these young people are being groomed into actual pedophile nazi communities but the sharty staff and wiki are so up their asses that they can’t see they have ideological similarities with the nazi foodists and that’s why they surround them.

They have crushed /leftysoy/ and banned many leftists on their wiki including me, I think this is gonna evolve into something much worst if we don’t do anything.

The 2010s marked the effective end of most remaining communist insurgencies. Although many had been in decline for years, it was during that decade that they finally collapsed. The Naxal movement, communist insurgencies in Africa and Southeast Asia, and the last remnants of the IRA either fizzled out or ended with arrests after failed attacks and raids. In 2023, the Zapatistas dissolved their Autonomous Municipalities. The conflicts that leftist magazines and academics once wrote papers about and sometimes even traveled to for the occasional photoshoot are now over, so what is to done?

I don’t have any exact quotes, but he probably didn’t think too highly of the German Empire. That said, the decision to send him to Russia with the gold wasn’t from the Kaiser, it came from Hindenburg and Ludendorff. They sent Lenin to cause civil unrest and destabilize Russia, hoping to take it out of the war. They obviously never expected the Soviet state to take off like it did. Ironically, these same two men would also help unintentionally pave the way for the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany, something they also likely never saw coming either.

Macron can't officially represent himself but he could have done like Putin did with Medvedev, since there is nothing that stops him from being prime minister.
But it's pretty much impossible now due to how unpopular he is now, Attal and Philippe, the two most prominent former ministers of Macron candidates in the 2027 elections are now critical of him, and in any case, even if they changed their mind after winning the presidential elections, there is no way they'd have a majority in the national assembly, so the national assembly would just vote to fire Macron as prime minister.
Both Hollande and Sarkozy have tried a political comeback, but it's failing, Sarko went to jail and Hollande is part of a party that did 2% at the last elections. I don't see how Macron would do better, I guess he's still young so he could try a comeback in the 2040s.

Sounds crazy, I know, but I think Xi-fans should at least consider the flaws of China's "Do nothing, win" strategy, and how it may paradoxically still lead to its undoing.

The US bourgeoisie knows it can't beat China in head-on conventional warfare. So, it doesn't.

Porky has put a lot of effort since the Vietnam War to avoid making Amerikkkans feels the impacts of US wars of aggression to great success. Despite the amount of conflicts the US is involved in as we speak, anti-war sentiment is negligable. There was nothing like the anti-war movement during Vietnam, which by itself wasn't even strong enough to end the war either. It was the Vietnamese who militarily defeated the US that ended the war.

Amerikkkan reliance on proxies and mercs is the key to maintain the Empire. If they can make China's neighbours fight them in their stead, they they can win, and have East Asia plundered, like they have plundered Eastern Europe since the 90s, to give capitalism another 50 years.

China has failed to counter this problem completely, letting country after country on their borders fall into US hands in recent years. Once friendly countries turned into enemies.
China's rebranded 'socialism in one country' strategy isn't enough to resist US aggression. The US doen't need to do much to blockade Chinese shipping, and block all imports from entering the mainland. Going from "random" drone boats sent from US vallal states, to airstrikes and piracy conducted by US forces themselves, which they have been training for through the recent attacks on Russian and Venezuelan ships.
China can't retaliate against this adequately, due to their lack of bases or proxies of their own around Amerikkkan territory.

China's complete neglegt of this danger may be its downfall. For all their greatness, they cannot last against a neval blockade, land siege and hybrid warfare, the US has been preparing for.

This is why solidarity is so important. Supporting comrades in other countries isn't about kindness. It ensures you will not be attacked by brothers turned against you.

>The class antagonism between bourgeois and proletariat still exists, they've just added another layer of control on top of it

Let's ask Lenin whether class struggle continues to exist after the revolution:

<Socialism means the abolition of classes. The dictatorship of the proletariat has done all it could to abolish classes. But classes cannot be abolished at one stroke. And classes still remain and will remain in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat. The dictatorship will become unnecessary when classes disappear. Without the dictatorship of the proletariat they will not disappear. Classes have remained, but in the era of the dictatorship of the proletariat every class has undergone a change, and the relations between the classes have also changed. The class struggle does not disappear under the dictatorship of the proletariat; it merely assumes different forms.

I'm not even a Leninist nor do I find Lenin's pamphlet particularly enlightening, but how the fuck do the majority of self-described Leninists misunderstand imperialism as an action that a state takes, instead of it being an economic system, like this is still basic Leninism. It's legitimately baffling, how do these pseuds think the division of the world among capitalist powers being complete is a policy. How the fuck is that even a coherent sentence in the context of a policy, Lenin is so obviously talking about a stage of global capitalist development and not a fucking action.

Not quite. He's pointing out that the most imperialist state pivot from the profits of stock to the rent of land and the interest of money as their primary sources of revenue. They become global loan sharks. This is how the USA uses the IMF to force structural adjustment programs onto global south nations (and if the loans are refused, well then it's time for a CIA couop)

This is difficult to read anon, you should just put them all below each other in chronological order

Not too unusual for people involved with the showa new left to get more right wing over time; one of the main guys in Ryu Ota's far-left anti-Japaneseism circles (way more extreme than Oshii was) supported visiting Yasukuni Shrine later since "the right shouldn't monopolize it" https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E5%B9%B3%E5%B2%A1%E6%AD%A3%E6%98%8E (and Ota himself became a "jews are lizards" guy). Then you have Yasuhiko Yoshikazu:
>His final message addresses Japanese youth participating protests against the recent security bill, which will allow the reinterpretation of Japan's Peace Constitution as well as the military aid of foreign countries in wartime. While he congratulates them on protesting peacefully, he says, "It's a shame if they are caught up in a single-minded pursuit of ideas such as 'protect (war-renouncing) Article 9 (of the Constitution)' and 'preserve (Japan as) a peaceful country.' For example, I hope they think for themselves from now on about how we deal with things like the Islamic State extremist group."

Honestly I'd unquestionably respect people like Oshii if they kept their views from back then but just criticized modern trendy idpol & hyper-sensitivity culture (not just Oshii, I know Yasuhiko criticized modern feminism) but "disillusionment with the left" tends to result in dumb neocon stuff too like that quote above

What I realized is that it's hard for people to really hold on to their own individual sociopolitical values without falling into generic "I think this so I must also think this other thing" means of thinking and when they do they can have detached antisocial tendencies that result in immoral behavior ex. Yamamoto Yohane's sex pesting

I always thought it was funny that he criticized Miyazaki's stuff for being plotless or whatever. Dude made Angel's Egg and is saying a bunch of movies for kids don't have an obvious enough narrative? I'm pretty sure he's also the only source people have for Miyazaki supposedly being a pedo. Between this and his political statements you'd think Oshii made a desperate late-career pivot to pander to certain kinds of right-wing weebs (obviously I'm not saying he actually did, just that he acts like it)

>>29611
IIRC miyazaki actually made some really creepy jokes in the past that someone translated but I sadly lost the link and have not managed to find it again. but some stuff he said about (I think) Kiki that's easier to find certainly makes him sound like a loli guy

I don't think right wing weebs really care about the Japan military shit, and again Yasuhiko has said neocon shit on that subject too. as far as social views go he's probably still more accepting in some pretty big areas now than the average male zenkyoto protester was in the late 60s, as "chuddy" as he sounds by modern standards. still it's funny to see many people bend over backwards to defend his comments when they'd absolutely take issue if it didn't come from a famous creator with a well established fandom headcanon of who he is

>>29610
oshii was never deep into that mindset anyway and has spoken about a lot of it he just went with the flow back then, his dad told him it was dumb and he instantly dropped it. that shows how he wasnt committed at all. he recently attending a meeting with the new far-right japanese PM pushing for war and i was instantly reminded of an old interview with him
>Foreign residents have no suffrage—this is obvious. Just because they live in Japan and pay taxes does not mean they should have voting or political rights. From the concept of a modern nation-state, that is perfectly reasonable.
>They may indeed be paying taxes, but having political rights means, at times, being prepared to fight for the country. That must come first.
>Would foreign residents really fight for Japan when something serious happens? If Americans take citizenship, they are required to pledge loyalty. Without going through that oath, one cannot obtain citizenship. This is exactly what I am arguing the core issue now.

100% he loves this new PM

>>29615
Where's that quote from? Yeah he sure seems to have developed weird hawkish views. But again that goofy ISIS comment from Yasuhiko is quite similar. I loved Yamato season 1 but S2 started with a similar premise that kinda screamed "we gotta be the galaxy's police, it's actually moral and empathetic" and this reminded me of that.

Can someone give me non-bullshit explanation of how exactly Western PROLETARIAT benefits from imperialism?

The West exported their investments and know-how and helped in the industrialization of the third world. Not just China, but also SEA, Asian tigers, India, Brazil, Poland, Malaysia etc. This resulted in the exact opposite of what happened in colonialism. The Western industries were hollowed out this time, and outsourced to the third world. Now sure, the Western bourgie benefited from this, but the money didnt trickle down much. That's why in the 1970s you could support a family and live a decent life doing a simple blue collar job and now you cant. So where exactly did the Western PROLETARIAT benefit from this imperialism?

You say this and then say every terrorist attack on US and Europe are false flags. So which is it?

lol

"settler-colonialism" (a nonsense term btw) won in the US. natives, Hispanics, AAs, etc have all been molded into the american identity and class structure of capitalism. settler colonialism stopped a century ago when the frontier closed. we are no more "settler" than the UK is

settler colonialism just describes all conquest throughout all human history. the idea of a "settler" has little distinction in class relations (as it currently used to mean white people). we just already have a word that better describes the process described in SC, imperialism

Do you support zionism? If not, why.

>>2615435
Settlerism continues by maintaining a perpetual underclass whom can be displaced whenever whitoids need to move somewhere en masse
