Looking for a unique way to go fuck yourself?

You fuckin adbots need to get the message that you will be purged immediately and nobody here is buying what you are selling.

I just assume I could possibly be filmed in public wherever I am whether crossing the street or watching some obscure local punk band in a dive bar. Do I like it? Not necessarily, but in the age of mass surveilance and ubiquitous smartphones it’s not something I can really control in any way outside knowing it is there and obscuring my face when doing cool shit.

We shouldn't have to work 40 hours a week to afford a basic life. We do because our currency is constantly losing value. This is by design.

There’s a lot of talk about inflation and its causes. Is it corporate greed? Supply chain issues? One clear base cause of inflation less talked about is having an inflationary currency supply. Any other inflation caused by supply chain issues, corporate greed, lack of market competition, etc is just added on top of that. Fiat...

OP is a great example of what happens when you are trying to reinvent Marxism. Like my guy people have already explained this shit over a hundred years ago.

No.

That said most MLs are my comrades anyway left-unity-3

Also liberals still always call me a tankie anyway so idk it doesn’t mean anything anymore.

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

A better world is possible and none of us can accurately predict how we will get there but if we don’t quit rehashing hundred year old ideological beefs that occurred within very different material conditions we’re all fucked anyway.

The tankies aren’t gonna murder the anarchists and at this juncture there is no revolution to speak of for anarchists to have a hand in betraying (for reasons that I have never heard a compelling case for its inevitability). If we don’t get our shit together the billionaires are gonna kill us all and who knows maybe it’s already too late but we have to at least try.

Then again, I rarely participate in political discussions that I don’t know about.

If only more people thought or behaved this way. You’re on the right track then. For me my first foray into serious geo-politics was when I wrote a paper on Iran-Contra for a sociology course which also led me to diving into the history of Iran’s conflicts with the west, and from there I started trying to unravel the confusing mess that western sources try to make Palestine seem like, only to finally come to the (correct) conclusion that the only answer to any of these problems is for the US and all it’s colonial projects be dismantled as soon as possible.

Then when gamergate happened and a whole new generations of kids started getting radicalized by mask off fascists I came to another (also correct) conclusion: The only people truly ready and willing to fight fascists were anarchists and communists and that’s how I ended up on the old Chapo subreddit and then here.

The folks around here are extremely knowledgeable and you will learn a hell of a lot through osmosis but eventually you’ll want to read some of this stuff yourself. In addition to what @dessalines gave you I also recommend Kropotkin’s Mutual Aid A Factor Of Evolution which is not Marxist per se, but a great refutation of the “muh human nature means communism doesn’t work” thought terminating cliche.

Finally I would recommend bumping State and Revolution up the que in that list just because it is such a fuckin banger and isn’t long. The opening passage roped me right in:

What is now happening to Marx’s theory has, in the course of history, happened repeatedly to the theories of revolutionary thinkers and leaders of oppressed classes fighting for emancipation. During the lifetime of great revolutionaries, the oppressing classes constantly hounded them, received their theories with the most savage malice, the most furious hatred and the most unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander. After their death, attempts are made to convert them into harmless icons, to canonize them, so to say, and to hallow their names to a certain extent for the “consolation” of the oppressed classes and with the object of duping the latter, while at the same time robbing the revolutionary theory of its substance, blunting its revolutionary edge and vulgarizing it. Today, the bourgeoisie and the opportunists within the labor movement concur in this doctoring of Marxism. They omit, obscure, or distort the revolutionary side of this theory, its revolutionary soul. They push to the foreground and extol what is or seems acceptable to the bourgeoisie. All the social-chauvinists are now “Marxists” (don’t laugh!). And more and more frequently German bourgeois scholars, only yesterday specialists in the annihilation of Marxism, are speaking of the “national-German” Marx, who, they claim, educated the labor unions which are so splendidly organized for the purpose of waging a predatory war!

When I first read that I was like “Oh shit he predicted what happened to MLK Malcolm X and Fred Hampton all the way back in 1917” leo-point

oh yeah almost forgot to tell you to check out Marx Madness. They’ve done full reads of a lot of foundational texts and they offer it up in podcast/book club format where they read and discuss each work. podtail.com/en/podcast/marx-madness/

And this here is a collection of introductory works as well as some absolutely essential works on decolonial Marxism assembled by Chunka Luta Network with some free audio books as well. mega.nz/folder/cuMwjRyK#eDPayQSdYFwaCh9qr8zzPw

For a good history book I cannot recommend Palo Alto by Malcolm Harris enough. We have the full audiobook on there.

The only part of this I cannot parse is “shrimp salad is racist” that’s the only thing I don’t get the reference for and it always drives me nuts.

a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle

Love the direct reference to Lenin’s What Is To Be Done? here.

Love Trotsky and hate how they did him after all he did for the revolution, but Trotskyists annoy the fuck out of me.

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

but only judge leftist movements as though they are Ultras

the radlib/ultra/maoist overlaps are a source of fascination for me.

@Nakoichi@hexbear.net avatar

but i just want that the world change without going full revolution

Nobody wants a violent and bloody revolution. It is a position we will be forced into as a matter of self defense as we see throughout history.

A great example is Salvatore Allende in Chile and the 1973 CIA backed coup against him. He did everything the proper peaceful democratic socialist way and they still had him murdered because he was not friendly with US business interests in the region.
