I stood on street corners and used the flag to help people see where the group had turned when the group fled the flashbangs.

R: 35 / I: 4 / P: 1 Defund the police How is it feasible to remove the police? What happens if there's a murder? Someone is raped, beaten, is pissing in a restaurant, steals your car, breaks into your house, is stalking you, whatever. I get that their main responsibility to protect property but what about the rest of the law? How would criminals not flourish if no one was enforcing laws?

R: 65 / I: 7 / P: 1 New Multitude- leftypol related magazine I want to ask this communities advice on how to proceed. Firstly, I still think there's a great wealth here. leftypol's strength is a great community from around the world and people who I believe have something unique to offer as far as leftist analysis goes. Leftypol's weakness is that this strength is fleeting, hence the Nm project. 1.While medium is ok I think it's time to move the magazine to its own website which will make it a hell of a lot more professional looking and attract more readers. 2. I have no tech skills. I need someone to help me build the website, linking the domain name etc. I have asked on /tech/ but I got mostly responses of "learn it yourself it's easy" sorry but I don't have the time to do that, which is why I hosted on medium in the first place. Is there anyone out there who could assist with this 3. getting higher quality posts. I think the idea of grabbing effort posts from leftypol is still valid, but it takes a lot of work to edit these into a quality I am happy with. Many of the current articles are curated debates, etc. I think they are good, but I also think it would be great to have some original essays too. We have some from Brazil anon and Singapore anon. I would love to work more with people here who have something unique to say. So I would like to offer something like $100 for an original essays/articles and various amounts for artwork too. I could fund this for while but.. 4.this would also mean that long term the project would need a patreon or something.I would actually like to do it so the artists and contributors got a fair share of any patreon money, so they could continue earning. Anyway this discussion is moot without first getting a reputation for quality and unique posts. 5. the name. So many people thought that many "New Multitude" was some kind of Hardt and Negri offshoot..I guess that's understandable, but it's not. What do you think about the name..I was also toying with the name "Swinis Multiude" which is the name the arch-conservative Edmund Burke gave to the common folk of England as an insult and which they reclaimed in jest. So yeah...Let me know what I should do. originally I set up a email for work, but quickly realised this wasn't a good plan. the best way to contact me is through twitter messaging twitter.com/newmultitude

R: 23 / I: 1 / P: 2 Thoughts on workerism? I know it's an actual ideology that was mostly embraced by the midcentury Italian Left, but on the Internet I've only seen it used in a derogatory way to refer to the types of people who over-enthusiastically reject social liberalism in a way to appeal to (their idea of) the working class. Is this an accurate way to use the term? Does workerism have its merits? Is it based or is it a distraction?

It makes no sense to me that Putin would do this now an bury Nord Stream, and the Western media runs headlines that he was the most popular opposition politician in Russia which is hard to believe.

R: 180 / I: 35 / P: 3 New Athiesm didn't go far enough https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW6UoIjy5F4 Burgerland post. It's fashionable nowdays to shit on 2000s/early 2010s "New Athiesm" and considering how lots of it's former adherents turned into either radlibs or gamergate-sargon le rational bros I can say thats fair. But you have to understand New Atheism as a backlash against conservative evangelical christianity in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, started by Reagan and Culminating in someone like George W Bush saying that God told him to invade Iraq: >Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: "I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, 'George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.' And I did, and then God would tell me, 'George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,' and I did." >And "now again", Mr Bush is quoted as telling the two, "I feel God's words coming to me: 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God, I'm gonna do it." You had shit like the "Satanic Panic" which was basically the original Q-anon, except instead of a bunch of internet conspiracists you had mainstream journalists, news outlets, legitimate psychologists/psychiatrists and even the police taking it seriously. People went to jail for years, even decades before being proven innocent. They literally put the band Judas Priest on trial for "secretly putting satanic messages backwards in muh rock music" which some family blamed for "making" their kid kill themselves. Younger people/Zoomers have no idea of the influence, power and absolute fucking INSANITY of evangelical christian conservatives had from the Reagan to the Bush junior era. When Marilyn Manson would go on stage and rip up a bible or something it wasn't about hating the idea of God but pushing back against this mainstream shit of a culture which was abstinence only sex ed, unironic creationism, fundamentalism, Biblical literalism, anti gay, basically calling anything fun (dungeons and dragons board games or pokemon or whatever) was "Satanic". Growing up I literally a friends parents who wouldn't let them shop for computer parts for a gaming PC online because, according to them, online shopping was "of the devil" (They weren't joking). In school they taught us that Condoms fail 80% of the time and that above all SEX was EVIL because fucking outside marriage was a sin. Gay kids were in the closet and if not their parents would send them to a camp or whatever to make them not gay. Bullying was frequent. All that shit we see as cringe radlib shit now (Witches, "SJW" hairdye etc.) was actually edgy. In fact you can see the SJWs of the early 2010s as basically millennial kids rebelling against each and every thing that their christian evangelical conservative parents taught them. Force you to go to church -> Become an Atheist or Wiccan/Witch larper The gays are going to hell -> LGBT rights Be patriotic about the troops invading Iraq or you're an ungrateful faggot who hates AMURICAN FREEDUM -> anti imperialism Unregulated Markets fix everything -> Occupy Wall Street Abstinence only sex-ed -> Hookup culture Obama is a Socialist Communist -> Actually, after looking into that Marx stuff he had some good points. It was extremely tiresome, how much American daily life (and even in the BLUE STATES under Bush) centered around christianity, people quoting the bible and talking about the lord and shit all the time, like a good 25% of the day even was spent talking about christian stuff. In this context, where evangelicals were going absolutely batshit with their crap, you can see why a militant rejection of that stuff was needed. In a society where evangelical christian magical-thinking was widespread and pervasive and used to dismiss everything from climate change (the world don't change unless GOD WILLS IT, we can't change the world as mere HUMANS) to the economic crisis of '08 (literally had people say that they thought that its actually a "spiritual crisis" and that if everyone believed in God the economy would heal itself - lol). To shitting on minorities like LGBT as sinners, parents would literally kick their teenage kid out of the house and make them homeless and totally disown them. To justifying the Iraq war itself as some sort of holy crusade against the muslims (Bush was careful to never say Islam was the enemy but PLENTY of average christian burgers believed this, and sort of still do). Hot take: New Atheism needed to happen. Hotter take: it didn't go far enough. I'm jealous of post-soviet states whose former government made an effort to stamp this shit out. I'm 100% convinced hardcore evangelical christianity is responsible for tons of problems the country has, not just in causing them, but in preventing people from actually converging to a solution , and I don't give a fuck if you call it idealist. Shit like Q-anon and climate change denial NEVER could have happened if a full third of the country wasn't brain rotted evangelical boomers who don't give a fuck about the climate because they literally think Jesus is going to come back for armageddon any day now, and that we need to support Israel because once all the jews go back there, armageddon can start. It's fashionable nowdays to shit on 2000s/early 2010s "New Athiesm" and considering how lots of it's former adherents turned into either radlibs or gamergate-sargon le rational bros I can say thats fair.

It was extremely tiresome, how much American daily life (and even in the BLUE STATES under Bush) centered around christianity, people quoting the bible and talking about the lord and shit all the time, like a good 25% of the day even was spent talking about christian stuff. In this context, where evangelicals were going absolutely batshit with their crap, you can see why a militant rejection of that stuff was needed. In a society where evangelical christian magical-thinking was widespread and pervasive and used to dismiss everything from climate change (the world don't change unless GOD WILLS IT, we can't change the world as mere HUMANS) to the economic crisis of '08 (literally had people say that they thought that its actually a "spiritual crisis" and that if everyone believed in God the economy would heal itself - lol). To shitting on minorities like LGBT as sinners, parents would literally kick their teenage kid out of the house and make them homeless and totally disown them. To justifying the Iraq war itself as some sort of holy crusade against the muslims (Bush was careful to never say Islam was the enemy but PLENTY of average christian burgers believed this, and sort of still do). Hot take:Hotter take:I'm jealous of post-soviet states whose former government made an effort to stamp this shit out. I'm 100% convinced hardcore evangelical christianity is responsible for tons of problems the country has, not just in causing them,, and I don't give a fuck if you call it idealist. Shit like Q-anon and climate change denial NEVER could have happened if a full third of the country wasn't brain rotted evangelical boomers who don't give a fuck about the climate because they literally think Jesus is going to come back for armageddon any day now, and that we need to support Israel because once all the jews go back there, armageddon can start.

R: 181 / I: 57 / P: 3 Ten Most Harmful Books of the 19th and 20th Centuries >Marx and Engels, born in Germany in 1818 and 1820, respectively, were the intellectual godfathers of communism. Engels was the original limousine leftist: A wealthy textile heir, he financed Marx for much of his life. In 1848, the two co-authored The Communist Manifesto as a platform for a group they belonged to called the Communist League. The Manifesto envisions history as a class struggle between oppressed workers and oppressive owners, calling for a workers’ revolution so property, family and nation-states can be abolished and a proletarian Utopia established. The Evil Empire of the Soviet Union put the Manifesto into practice. 2. Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler >Self-explanatory. 3. Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, by Mao Zedong >Mao, who died in 1976, was the leader of the Red Army in the fight for control of China against the anti-Communist forces of Chiang Kai-shek before, during and after World War II. Victorious, in 1949, he founded the People’s Republic of China, enslaving the world’s most populous nation in communism. In 1966, he published Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong, otherwise known as The Little Red Book, as a tool in the “Cultural Revolution” he launched to push the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese society back in his ideological direction. Aided by compulsory distribution in China, billions were printed. Western leftists were enamored with its Marxist anti-Americanism. “It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S. imperialism,” wrote Mao. 4. Kinsey Reports, by Alfred Kinsey >Alfred Kinsey was a zoologist at Indiana University who, in 1948, published a study called Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, commonly known as The Kinsey Report. Five years later, he published Sexual Behavior in the Human Female. The reports were designed to give a scientific gloss to the normalization of promiscuity and deviancy. “Kinsey’s initial report, released in 1948 ... stunned the nation by saying that American men were so sexually wild that 95% of them could be accused of some kind of sexual offense under 1940s laws,” the Washington Times reported last year when a movie on Kinsey was released. “The report included reports of sexual activity by boys --even babies-- and said that 37% of adult males had had at least one homosexual experience" which can not be true, naturally. "The 1953 book also included reports of sexual activity involving girls younger than age 4, and suggested that sex between adults and children could be beneficial," but as we known by looking at the entirety of Western Civilization this is a lie. 5. Democracy and Education, by John Dewey >John Dewey, who lived from 1859 until 1952, was a “progressive” philosopher and leading advocate for secular humanism in American life, who taught at the University of Chicago and at Columbia. He signed the Humanist Manifesto and rejected traditional religion and moral absolutes. In Democracy and Education, in pompous and opaque prose, he disparaged schooling that focused on traditional character development and endowing children with hard knowledge, and encouraged the teaching of thinking “skills” instead. His views had great influence on the direction of American education--particularly in public schools--and helped nurture the Clinton generation. 6. Das Kapital, by Karl Marx >Marx died after publishing a first volume of this massive book, after which his benefactor Engels edited and published two additional volumes that Marx had drafted. Das Kapital forces the round peg of capitalism into the square hole of Marx’s materialistic theory of history, portraying capitalism as an ugly phase in the development of human society in which capitalists inevitably and amorally exploit labor by paying the cheapest possible wages to earn the greatest possible profits. Marx theorized that the inevitable eventual outcome would be global proletarian revolution. He could not have predicted 21st Century America: a free, affluent society based on capitalism and representative government that people the world over envy and seek to emulate. 7. The Feminine Mystique, by Betty Friedan >In The Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan, born in 1921, disparaged traditional stay-at-home motherhood as life in “a comfortable concentration camp”--a role that degraded women and denied them true fulfillment in life. She later became founding president of the National Organization for Women. Her original vocation, tellingly, was not stay-at-home motherhood but left-wing journalism. As David Horowitz wrote in a review for Salon.com of Betty Friedan and the Making of the Feminine Mystique by Daniel Horowitz (no relation to David): The author documents that “Friedan was from her college days, and until her mid-30s, a Stalinist Marxist, the political intimate of the leaders of America’s Cold War fifth column and for a time even the lover of a young Communist physicist working on atomic bomb projects in Berkeley’s radiation lab with J. Robert Oppenheimer.” 8. The Course in Positive Philosophy, by Auguste Comte >Comte, the product of a royalist Catholic family that survived the French Revolution, turned his back on his political and cultural heritage, announcing as a teenager, “I have naturally ceased to believe in God.” Later, in the six volumes of The Course of Positive Philosophy, he coined the term “sociology.” He did so while theorizing that the human mind had developed beyond “theology” (a belief that there is a God who governs the universe), through “metaphysics” (in this case defined as the French revolutionaries’ reliance on abstract assertions of “rights” without a God), to “positivism,” in which man alone, through scientific observation, could determine the way things ought to be. 9. Beyond Good and Evil, by Friedrich Nietzsche >An oft-scribbled bit of college-campus graffiti says: “‘God is dead’--Nietzsche” followed by “‘Nietzsche is dead’--God.” Nietzsche’s profession that “God is dead” appeared in his 1882 book, The Gay Science, but under-girded the basic theme of Beyond Good and Evil, which was published four years later. Here Nietzsche argued that men are driven by an amoral “Will to Power,” and that superior men will sweep aside religiously inspired moral rules, which he deemed as artificial as any other moral rules, to craft whatever rules would help them dominate the world around them. “Life itself is essentially appropriation, injury, overpowering of the strange and weaker, suppression, severity, imposition of one’s own forms, incorporation and, at the least and mildest, exploitation,” he wrote. The Nazis loved Nietzsche. 10. General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, by John Maynard Keynes >Keynes was a member of the British elite--educated at Eton and Cambridge--who as a liberal Cambridge economics professor wrote General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money in the midst of the Great Depression. The book is a recipe for ever-expanding government. When the business cycle threatens a contraction of industry, and thus of jobs, he argued, the government should run up deficits, borrowing and spending money to spur economic activity. FDR adopted the idea as U.S. policy, and the U.S. government now has a $2.6-trillion annual budget and an $8-trillion dollar debt. https://web.archive.org/web/20070104043133/http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=7591 1.

In the murder cases where police investigated the possibility that these acts might have been committed for right-wing motives, they did so in a very superficial manner and leads in this direction were hardly ever followed up. >The same pattern can be seen in the investigations of the bomb attacks. In all three cases, which the police did not regard as connected, the police looked for suspects close to the victims or in connection with organized crime, and neo-Nazi suspects were never seriously considered. In the case of the bomb attack in Keupstraße in Cologne, the police denied the terrorist character of the attack and yet again the bombing was attributed to organized crime. This denial contradicted internal analysis of the secret service and the police considering a racist motive. >Most of the 15 robberies were believed to be connected as the offenders were always two young men fleeing the crime scene on bikes. But no connection was ever made between the robberies and the murders and/or bombings, despite the fact that many witnesses had seen two young men with bikes close to the scene of the respective crimes. >Marx Dutroux connection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Dutroux#Deaths_of_potential_witnesses https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2564494/Murderer-Marc-Dutroux-gets-fan-mail-teenagers.html https://www.ad.nl/amsterdam/vermissing-duitse-manuel-nooit-opgelost-ondanks-tips~aac0f1f0/ https://thefalseflagblog.wordpress.com/2019/02/14/marc-dutroux-und-die-gladio-satanisten/ >One of the leaders of the Belgian pedophile ring was Benoit de Bonvoisin [13] [48], who was associated with several secret services.

R: 51 / I: 3 / P: 4 Book Review: The Psychology Of Conspiracy Theories Book Review: The Psychology Of Conspiracy Theories by Jan-Willem van Prooijen In this age of Qanon I thought this would be an interesting book to read. The author is a Dutch Psychologist and backs up the assertions with sources. VERY SHORT Summary : Conspiracy theories are not the result of pathology or mental illness but the misdirection of normal human impulses to recognize patterns and agency in people and events, combined with a belief-based mindset (correlated with Religiosity and Superstition). This happens in times of war, social upheaval, or rapid social or technological change. The solution is more education, as well as transparency in institutions and accountability. It's an interesting book, although the author seems to include some centrist political muh both sides waffling, although it is apparent that even though he mentions left wing conspiracies and socialist regimes in passing, his focus is on the far right generally. LONGER TLDR: Some conspiracy theories are true and some are false. This is a book about psychoanalyzing conspiracy beliefs, not judging the accuracy of those beliefs. The idea is that conspiracy theories are not based on some sort of mental illness or pathology, but a normal human reaction towards dealing with and/or explaining fear and uncertainty, particularly in periods of social upheaval or rapid social/technological change. People who react to this in a conspiratorial way tend to have personality types that are based on intuition, snap/gut judgements, and heuristics as opposed to careful analytic thinking, and also more inclined to religion or superstitious thinking (tarot cards, astrology, etc.). This is also correlated with lower levels of education. People with a “belief-oriented” mindset are more distrustful of others in daily life, and have relatively extreme or non-mainstream political views. The objects of conspiracy theory often involve groups of people or institutions that the person already dislikes or distrusts. Belief in conspiracy theories can itself cause additional anxiety, exacerbating the problem. There are also normal human biases that play into these beliefs: proportionality bias, the idea that a world changing political event must have an equally large conspiracy behind it. Also, illusory pattern perception, i.e. mistaking correlation for causation. People with fringe or extreme politics are more likely to believe in conspiracy theories. People who have a strong sense of in-group identity, and a strong sense of out-group threat also are more prone to conspiracy theories. What reduces conspiratorial thinking is by increasing analytic/rational type thinking (more education) and reducing fear and uncertainty (increasing transparency, accountability, and participation/democracy).

R: 23 / I: 0 / P: 4 Speaking Broadly: State Capitalism and Poetic Singularity https://soundcloud.com/speakingbroadly/speaking-broadly-9-24-2020 What's up Leftypol, I'm probably more in the post-Left (but not shitty). I follow Baudrillard and try to apply his thought to making el world-o a better place. I lay out some of my ideas here on my podcast Speaking Broadly, back catalog up at Soundcloud also. The two interventions I make here are to point out how people were already talking about a shift to "state capitalism" and "late capitalism" as early as 1914 and definitely by 1940. In my view, calling this "State capitalism" is misleading because it's beyond capitalism as theorized by Marx. Hence, socialism or communism are not the proper responses to what is already post-capitalism. I'm still searching for terms that will help make this clear and persuasive. Basically, the public/private distinction is bunk in theory and is bunk in practice after 1914. Secondly, I express what is good about socialism by appealing to Arrival (2016) and it's emphasis on "Non-Zero-Sum Games," as well as a video by Jordan Hall about the "anti-rivalrous." Rivalrous goods are those where if one person consumes them, another can't. Anti-rivalrous goods are those that can be shared, like IP. Hall points out that our system (the system formerly known as capitalism) is optimized for rivalrous goods, and can't cope with anti-rivalrous ones. I posit that socialism was an attempt to shift to a way of society which shifted as much into anti-rivalrous goods as possible. The reason it's not time for socialism is that the system formerly known as capitalism already started shifting things into anti-rivalrous mode, and aggressively socialized production during total war. Post-capitalism = total war + electrification. In the end I come to Baudrillard's term "poetic singularity" to describe what we should be trying to foster. "Production for use" is an obsolete concept, but because use value relies on a generalized notion of human need. Everyone has their own needs, and no one really needs anything at all (if we accept suicide). So, it's better to try and set up a Non-Zero-Sum Game in our already post-capitalist world which allows for the flourishing of poetic singularities. /roastme

According to police reports, Gaines was stopped for a traffic violation for having a piece of cardboard with writing on it in place of a license plate. The cardboard plate read "Any government official who compromises this pursuit of happiness and right to travel, will be held criminally responsible and fined, as this is a natural right and freedom." Gaines was pulled over for invalid license plates which she contends was valid under constitutional law. After the officers ordered her to get out of the vehicle, she told them, "You will have to kill me". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_of_Korryn_Gaines

R: 247 / I: 48 / P: 5 Don't know how to feel about the CPUSA. Some of their members online seem to have good politics, but the party rag had that article basically pushing a vote for Biden and glorifying Sanders. CPUSA rank and file online will say "that is just an article by one person, it doesn't represent how everyone in the party thinks" but it is a featured article on their website. It seems clear that in some fashion this is represented as the party's line on Biden. I'm just looking at the field of options and it seems like your big ones are PSL, DSA, CPUSA, or the Greens. PSL and Greens are actually running candidates, while CPUSA and DSA aren't. While obviously you aren't going to vote communism into reality, it is silly to abstain from fielding even local candidates, let alone national ones in order to simply promote communism from political office. But the Greens and DSA are much more blatantly reformist. PSL seems OK, but in my experience also rather insular and sectarian.

R: 55 / I: 8 / P: 5 Why is the rate of profit hitting zero supposedly an apocalyptic event? What happens as a result? Surely you'd just have...a market economy with no profit. Just workers exchanging goods and services. What a nightmare. And rent is completely unaffected by TRPF, so I don't see how TRPF serves as some sort of "universal leveller". What if the capitalist class just gets replaced by the rentier class? Why is it seen as historically inevitable that rentiers would be dislodged? I mean, mainstream economists discuss all the time how they believe that profit would be zero in a perfectly competitive market, and they seem completely fine with the idea, and not terrified by it at all. What gives?

R: 441 / I: 97 / P: 6 ITT: most retarded anticommunist "arguments" For me as someone who lives in a post-Soviet country the most brainlet and anti-reality argument has got to be "COMMUNISM IS ANTI-CULTURE" My family still has shelves with 100s of books they got in the USSR, real books like obscure classical works or science ones. You CAN'T find most of them in stores anymore because they have been replaced with lowest common denominator schlock like 50 shades of grey or cheap fantasy novels. You have to go to a specialized library to find books you could buy at any bookstore in the USSR. Little surprise that the USSR used to be "the most reading country". Socialism built and supported theaters, museums, cinemas etc and most importantly it made them available to the entire population instead of a small leisurely elite. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the USSR the most cultured country in history if the criteria is the total number of people with access to "high culture" like classical music and theater. Don't even get me started on Soviet contributions to the art world like Prokofiev, Tarkovsky etc. Classical arts were preserved and promoted, folk culture was supported too. The only culture socialism "destroyed" was religion and culture of the ruling classes like decadent balls. That's what reactionaries truly bemoan. It doesn't matter that 99% of the population went from ignorant peasants to educated people who can appreciate intellectual and aesthetic pursuits, a few nobles couldn't have their shitty dances and lavish palaces all to themselves anymore, so CULTURE WAS LITERALLY DESTROYED!!11 You'd have to be completely ignorant of history and reality to say "socialism is anti-culture", or be a lying reactionary who by "culture" means "when you praise Jesus and kill nigs". It's especially annoying to hear this from Russian right-wing zoomers who know nothing but fortnite and low-brow americanized tv entertainment, and somehow blame socialism for this state of affairs instead of capitalist restoration.

R: 93 / I: 5 / P: 6 Is there a material base for racism? Is there any material reason for racism to exist today? As far as I understand, humans only appear as abstract quantities to capital (as labour power, consumer, etc.), there's absolutely no reason for skin colour to matter, and at least part of its ideological establishment tends to agree with this. Yet it undeniably still exists today. Is it just the remains of slavery, could capitalism successfully do away with racism? Under higher-stage communism racism couldn't exists as there's no privation, but is there any reason why it couldn't survive into lower-stage communism? Couldn't it even hold it back from fully transitioning to higher-stage communism?

R: 72 / I: 13 / P: 6 THE ANGLO The most evil country to have ever existed. The proles are all cucked beyond belief. Still has a QUEEN and ROYAL FAMILY that the proles are forced, NO THEY'RE OVERJOYED, to support (with a ROYAL PEDOPHILE to boot). Constantly orchestrating coups with the americans. Fugly inhabitants all born with a strange urge to spread their fugly inbred seed around the world. The most retarded nationalism of them all. Beady little rat eyes and hatred for civilization. Sadistic deformed little gremlins who take pleasure in destroying that which is beautiful. You can hate the krauts, you can hate the burgers, you can hate the polaks, yes that's justified, but it seems leftypol has forgotten that the anglo is the root of all evil. Hopefully the cursed island goes back underwater when the ice melts. There is no defense for being anglo. The world has forever moved past the need for them. Every man, woman, and anglo child must be destroyed - this or barbarism. There's not nearly enough hate for them here. Anglos basically invented sectarianism while they were trying to keep their shitty colonies afloat. Even the /pol/tards understand that the anglo must be kept in check AT ALL TIMES. How can we keep these horrible barbarians from ruining absolutely everything?

R: 31 / I: 4 / P: 6 MARHAENISM Marhaenism is an ideology that opposes human oppression of humans and nations over nations. This ideology was developed by the first President of the Republic of Indonesia, Ir. Soekarno, from the thought of Marxism which was applied according to the nature and culture of Indonesia. Soekarno initiated Marhaenisme, namely to elevate the dignity of Massa Marhaen (another term for the Indonesian people), who had the means of production but was (still) oppressed. However, the meaning of Marhaen is also addressed to all groups of the small people in question, namely the peasants and workers (proletariat) whose lives are always in the grip of the rich and the rulers / bourgeoisie / capitalists. In essence, Marhaenism is an ideology of struggle which was formed from Socio-Nationalism, Socio-Democracy and Soekarno's Cultural Godhead. According to marhaenism, to be economically independent and free from exploitation by other parties, each person or household needs a production factor or capital. The form can be in the form of soil or machines / tools. In a modern context, vehicles, information technology devices, kitchen utensils and electronic goods can be properly empowered as capital or production factors. Even though it is not large, ownership of the capital itself is necessary to ensure the independence of the person or household in the economy. In contrast to capitalism, capital in marhaenism is not to be hoarded or multiplied, but to be processed to make ends meet and generate a surplus. Farmers plant to feed their own families, then sell the surplus or excess to the market. Tailors, craftsmen or laborers produce goods that they will partially use themselves, although the rest is of course sold. Ideally, these self-sufficiency requirements must be met before serving the market. This means that when a worker, craftsman or farmer produces goods that he will not consume himself, he only acts as a factor of production for other parties, which makes him vulnerable to being dictated by the market or exploited. As a whole (as a whole) in the marhaenism economic system, goods that are not / are not needed will not be produced, because each person / household must first ensure his own profile and level of needs before making anything. Innovations for the birth of new products will occur when the needs are real.

I'd prefer the former all things considered but I think the latter will just continue. Which leftist favorite person would you meet if you had the chance to meet one? What would you say or ask?

R: 263 / I: 40 / P: 8 The beginnings of our new leftypol project Hello everyone, we have received the results of our project proposal topic, and I'm delighted to announce that we are teaming up with 'leftypedia' to deliver our planned 'argument/talking point resource' idea. In case you don't know, leftypedia is the current version of the old abandoned 'marxistpedia' which was a project started by leftypol users back in the day, so I think this is sort of like a homecoming in a way. https://leftypedia.org/wiki/Main_Page Anyway, if you have a look at the leftypedia site you might be able to tell that they have a much more formal and 'encyclopedic' tone than what we're planning, just like wikipedia, but the admin is going to create a separate 'category' for our new content that will be called something like 'rhetoric: topic' rather than just 'topic', this will also feature on the frontpage much like the encyclopedic content. As a tenplate, I'd like you to feast your eyes on these pages which someone on leftypedia already made (albeit only on their personal userspace for now). https://leftypedia.org/wiki/User:Anarcho-Bolshevik/compendium I'd like to ask if anyone can come up with a slightly more catchy name for our new section than 'rhetoric', cause that sounds a bit cumbersome to me even though I came up with it, so yeah, open to suggestions. So, since that isn't implemented yet, I'd like you all to try familiarise yourselves with the site for now, maybe take a look at the articles that are already there and improve some of them if you feel able. Unfortunately the site currently has only edit by approval so you will have to wait for any changes you make to be approved, this is because of a persistent spambot problem and I hope that we will be able to work out something to change this to normal editing as on wikipedia and the like, please just bear with it for now. If you have an answer to a 'common question', or you have an effortpost you'd like to archive and save, then please post it in this topic for now so that we can work on it together until we can figure out how to categorise our new section of the site. Thanks for your attention! EDIT: I've now got admin permissions on leftypedia, so I can create pages and approve edits directly. If you want to use the site I recommend you create a user account, which I can then approve once you make a productive edit (to distinguish from spambots), then you won't have to wait for approval anymore and can create articles yourself. Or, just ask me and I can create an article for you if you're desperate to make one as your first edit. Thanks guys, I hope we can make this project cool together! t. Caballo

R: 500 / I: 92 / P: 10 Belarus - Glowie General Belarus election: Lukashenko's claim of landslide victory sparks widespread protests >Riot police deployed in Minsk and about 20 other cities in some of the biggest clashes in the country’s history >Clashes broke out in cities across Belarus on Sunday evening as riot police used rubber bullets, flash grenades, teargas and water cannon to quash protests against the results of the contested presidential election. >Alexander Lukashenko, who has ruled for 26 years, claimed he had won a landslide victory in an election marred by accusations of vote-rigging. The election commission announced on Monday that Lukashenko took 80.23% of the votes while his main opposition challenger Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya (independent), who has held some of the country’s largest political rallies since the days of the Soviet Union, had only 9.9%. >Large protests broke out soon after the polls closed in Minsk, where a crowd of thousands gathered in the centre of the capital. A reporter for the Guardian saw police use water cannon against protesters and was fired on by rubber bullets. Opponents of Lukashenko chanted, “Leave!” Police made dozens of arrests. In one video, an army truck appeared to run into a protester. source: source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/09/belarus-election-lukashenko-landslide-victory-fixing-claims

R: 6 / I: 0 / P: 10 Any Good Sources for the seemingly endless "did you know in the USSR people ate shoes" kind of stories I find that part of the effect of the USSR's destruction is the endless unfalsifiable stories of "in Mudder Russia people had to pee one communal restroom." Now there was a wide berth in the quality of life in different parts of the USSR (like anywhere else) so I assume at least some of these stories have some truth to them. To give an example, one of the professors at my college was in the Reagan administration and told a story where he went to the USSR during the 80's and apparently everyone's table in their homes had a hole in the middle, he asked if it was a trend and they supposedly told him: "no the government underproduced tables and overproduced X." I don't think he just blatantly lied, but I'm sure the reality is much more complicated than just an anecdotal story. Where would you start looking into a lot of these kinds of myths/stories? >pic unrelated.

R: 17 / I: 0 / P: 10 GDP comparisons Can someone for the love of God explain to me how can you compare GDP of two countries who have separated financial systems? I was thinking about USSR and US comparisons and it short-circuit my fucking brain. GDP is denominate in american dollars, but how can dollars be a common denominator when the financial systems are separated? How can you evaluate the monetary price of a good in one financial system in the units of the other system (dollars in this case)? If there's no common market, do you just pull evaluations out of your ass?

What a great thing comrades, Last few months when we talked of em they were pretty much just prison chapters but now they seem to be growing and getting public or atleast that's what they tell us and are doing more to advance revolution I hope.

R: 23 / I: 2 / P: 11 The inhumanity of modern capitalist economists By capitalist economist I obviously mean someone who defends capitalism and develops his theories accordingly, specifically I'm talking about neolib economists though. So yeah, what is up with them? It seems like most modern economists totally disregard humans and just predict based on pure math ie; if people keep buying at X amount for Y time Z will happen at P%, but don't pay attention to whether or not that product even will be bought. Does anyone else notice this? I think it's just a general trend with neoliberalism, totally ignoring the human for just numbers and lines, with the extent of their care for people being that "economic growth totally benefits everyone". What leads to this?

R: 48 / I: 8 / P: 11 Idealism in marxist practice Marxist-Leninism(as practiced by Stalin), Maoism, and Juche are merely idealist interpretations of Marxism that had no basis or consideration of material forces. Given the underdevelopment of global capitalism at the time of the October revolution, which resulted in 1)international isolation 2)underdevelopment of material forces, Stalin defied the Marxist analysis (however imminent the situation might have been in anticipation of fascist invasion), with socialism in one country and attempting to develop the productive forces with socialism.
