I feel you there, senpai. I'm a social science graduate student. Thirteen or so years ago, I used to be involved with some left-wing political organizations and groups. I did study sessions with a university chapter of the Young Democratic Socialists and went to Chicago with a handful of hardcore communists. Back in those days--and they really weren't that long ago--the focus was all on working-class empowerment as well as socio-economic arguments and justifications. Everyone would get assigned readings and print-outs, which would be vigorously discussed and debated.

Shit was probably kinda pseud, but it was very /lit/-centric and educational.

Last year, I went to another YDS meeting, just for the sake of it. There were a lot more students present--probably because of Bernie--but Jesus, was it different. Girls making a point of showing off their hairy legs and pits. Half the crowd was trannies and fags with pink hair. All the discussion was focused on LGBT+ and race shit. I took my free ice cream and got the fuck out.

And, to top it all off, everyone was instructed to asking whoever was sitting next to them for their preferred pronouns. FFS. While I do believe that faggots should have rights and black people shouldn't receive disproportionately long prison sentences, I don't understand why this shit is always at the core of modern liberal debate.

The Poverty of Feminism
Basically all of the talking points the alt-right uses were stated much better almost 50 years ago by a leftist. Much deeper arguments as well: Chads, sexual desire, rape fantasy, anti-abortion, loss of being, urbanisation, female manipulation, organisation as a racket, etc.
Probably the best criticism of feminism there is.

>To the chat-up we must oppose true encounter, to “voyeuristic” stares, the expression of desire and communication. The enemy is not men and their desires. The pickup is an immediate product of the city, anonymity, solitude, the destruction of the possibilities of encounter. The instigator himself uses defensive attitudes, false self-assurance and a false disdain of women.

>The predatory male, and in the extreme the rapist, is a nuisance or a danger. But embarrassment or injury are above all rooted in all the misery and solitude of the victims. They are provocations, injurious responses painfully felt because they cannot fulfill, a caricature of the hope of something else. If the rapist were Tarzan, perhaps he would be forgiven. But the kerb crawler rarely has the appearance or the manners of a Prince Charming. His “prey” sees her own misery reflected in his.

Also, around the turn of the century there was something of a last spark of old leftist thought. I can't remember any specific titles, nor how good they were, but look up post-left anarchism and insurrectionism. They had some critiques of identity politics in general. Likely primitivism as well.
The anarcho-liberals began their attack on these types of people and basically took over the left (likely with a lot of help from glownigs, see Aufhebengate):

A bit of both.
As an example, back in the anti-globalization protests there was a demonstration in Ottawa around 2002-2003. It ended up on the steps of parliament, which was pretty shit and liberal, but even worse were the 'black bloc' girls shouting 'THIS IS PRIVILEGE!'. Just another form of liberalism, and it was then I realized it was over.
I will also note the similarities to what happened in Germany, the likely connections of stay-behind units to the anti-German socialists. Setting up false oppositions is deeply connected to liberal foundational law.
And Aufhebengate made it clear that glownigs were deeply entrenched in marxist academia.

Modern liberalism is not about the working class. If they cared about the working class, they would push for a culture that leads to stronger families and healthier lifestyles to the working class.

Take a look at this
https://nypost.com/2019/08/17/luxury-beliefs-are-the-latest-status-symbol-for-rich-americans/

>A former classmate from Yale recently told me “monogamy is kind of outdated” and not good for society. So I asked her what her background is and if she planned to marry.
>She said she comes from an affluent family and works at a well-known technology company. Yes, she personally intends to have a monogamous marriage — but quickly added that marriage shouldn’t have to be for everyone.
>She was raised by a traditional family. She planned on having a traditional family. But she maintained that traditional families are old-fashioned and society should “evolve” beyond them.

and

>One example of luxury belief is that all family structures are equal. This is not true. Evidence is clear that families with two married parents are the most beneficial for young children. And yet, affluent, educated people raised by two married parents are more likely than others to believe monogamy is outdated, marriage is a sham or that all families are the same.
>Relaxed attitudes about marriage trickle down to the working class and the poor. In the 1960s, marriage rates between upper-class and lower-class Americans were nearly identical. But during this time, affluent Americans loosened social norms, expressing skepticism about marriage and monogamy.
>This luxury belief contributed to the erosion of the family. Today, the marriage rates of affluent Americans are nearly the same as they were in the 1960s. But working-class people are far less likely to get married. Furthermore, out-of-wedlock birthrates are more than 10 times higher than they were in 1960, mostly among the poor and working class. Affluent people seldom have kids out of wedlock but are more likely than others to express the luxury belief that doing so is of no consequence.

The nu-left groups, is the totalitarian sublimation and discussion-protectionism of racism and homophobia.

Since the nu-left do not advocate to implement traditional leftist or marxist policies that could improve their society, and predetermine all conservative beliefs to be heretical. Are more akin to a theocratic group with the infallible diety being the act of virtue signalling within the prevailing social media zeitgeist. These people are not on the existing political left-right spectrum.

>>13927079


Because you re-attended what was previously a left leaning group, doesn't mean that its self labeling as left leaning means that is what it remains. Therefore you didn't actually attend a left-wing group. The remaining right-wing, is indulgent is labeling these groups as left-wing because, obviously it makes it much easier for them to look better on a political spectrum. And the PC theocracy loves self labeling as left-wing, because it fits in the current social media moral binary of associating good/evil with left/right, which adds another layer to what the PC brigade fundamentally want - a blanket protection from reality.

People are put off by the authoritarianism most leftists showcase through their policing of speech, whether through legislation, corporate policies, cancel culture or social media witch hunts. Leftists trying to codify and enforce appropriate speech and opinions through oppressive institutional powers will only serve to turn the working class against leftism. It's an artificial and oppressive tolerance between demographics that inevitably lead to increased tensions. In the end people will rather side with someone saying nigger with an authority against them than with someone crying about it with an authority behind them.

Mate obscurantism does us no good, this is an issue on the left we need to face. Some of it is genuine right wing liberalism I agree, but some of it isn't though. Displacing the problem onto others absolves us of taking any action/making any criticism. Socialism, like any aspect of discourse, isn't fixed. What constitutes 'socialism' can be stolen from us - it's a question of power dynamics and hegemony. If we don't expel these types, they'll BECOME 'socialism'. We unfortunately don't have a divine right to the title, there's others that have their own plans - we need to fight for it and dominate the conversation. By simultaneously ceding the right of these people to call themselves 'socialists' mostly unopposed, but occasionally calling them liberals, wreckers, etc., from the sidelines and denying they're socialists whatsoever, we risk making ourselves look foolish. Forming a new hegemony isn't just a case of beating the right, it's a case of leading the left as well.

importation of black slaves was a mistake. it was evil and black people offered little benefit at an enormous cost. they should either be granted, and moved to, their own land within the US as the indigenous population was, or be assisted in resettling on the land of their ancestors. and white americans would greatly improve their country by limiting all non-white immigration to strictly immigration through marriage. crime would plummet; labourers would be in a far better bargaining position; culture, education and happiness would flourish; and its cities would eventually be habitable again

In a technical definition and European context yes, proletarians are industrial workers.

There is no socialism in China. Just because the government owns some companies doesn't mean its socialism. Socialist countries are countries that are actively moving toward communism. There's only two paths and China is on the capitalist path.

That's the worst excuse I've ever heard. The USSR had peasant turned into proletarians, they didn't do that. China under Mao had peasants turning into proletarians, Maoist China didn't do that.

Identitarianism, LGBT, Feminism are all explicitly designed to fracture and compartmentalize larger cohesive groups. It's classic divide & conquer. If your goal is unification of the working class, you should be staunchly against these ideologies. You are fine with playing the rigged game handed to you directly by the establishment and surprised that it will result in your defeat.

State owned and planned enterprises directed by a bureaucratic caste (not class) that work to blunt the law of value and work against the profit motive are socialist mate. The reason I call China socialist despite the existence of competing forms is because of which one exercises dominance - political and, yes, economic. Socialism - of a preliminary kind absolutely, but one that actually EXISTS. And thus, one that won't be perfect. There's two paths sure, but they aren't straight, clear paths. They twist and turn. As to your 'foreign capitalists' (etc) snark, I implore you to stop being idealist. The USSR had the NEP. Cuba and NK are allowing markets. You might find that reality distasteful, but real world economic formations are messy, and will contain things like that. Or are/were none of them socialist either? A society that emerges 'not as it has developed on its own foundations, but, on the contrary, just as it emerges from capitalist society' remember? Regardless, I can only repeat that you need to focus on your local conditions before you practice any kind of 'internationalism' that's worth anything whatsoever.

When it comes to political correctness that is actually a -very- recent shift to the left wing. In previous decades it was overly sensitive Christian soccer moms who wanted to ban everything they found offensive and lefties trolling the shit out of them.

Basically most of 2000s era comedy and edgy internet shit was lefties doing it just to make people angry. In a famous example, Everybody Draw Mohammed Day was organized and participated in by lefties, for example, but is considered by the modern far left to be the internet equivalent of Kristallnacht.

Never thought I'd see the day where the Christian pearl-clutchers of my youth would become the major free speech advocates.

No they're not and China isn't against the law of profit. They have a fucking stock market. There's "not being perfect" and then there's capitalism, which China is. Of course there's class struggle in socialism, but China isn't struggling because the capitalists have basically won. The NEP was a temporary measure so the USSR industrialized, it lasted 10 years and then was abolished. The socialist revolution happened in China 70 years ago, how long exactly is their "NEP" going to last? There is no actually existing socialism today. People just want to cling on to this idea that NK, Cuba, Vietnam, China ect are socialist because they don't want to face the reality that marxism is in the weakest position its been since before WW1. You can't delude yourself, otherwise we'll never have revolution. We can't have a country that has billionaires in its party, exploits its worker terribly for foreign capital and its own capital, is practicing imperialism and colonialism in Africa and doesn't give a fuck about international proletarianism (selling weapons to Duerte to use against the New People's Army in the Philippines) and just sit there and say "yep, this is socialism. If there was a revolution in your country, would you want your socialism to look like China? Foreign capitalists working you to the bone? The government killing strikers and being imperialist? Horrible living conditions for most people while a privileged group of party princes have mansions? I doubt it. Socialism is for the people, by the people and each according to their contribution. No one person contributes enough to justify them being a billionaire.

>And when indigenous people take it back off settlers by force, it'll be theirs.
>Nah, black and indigenous people should overthrow the settler complex, along with any whites who want to help them
if they can they should. but even if they had the will they obviously don't have the mind, numbers, courage, weapons, technology, or strength to do it. the prior indigenous population had its best chance 1500s and 1600s. unfortunately they failed to protect their land.
white populations and cultures will continue to be destroyed by immigration caused by white guilt, ideologically compromised universities, and by the greed of politicians and corporate executives

Assertion. You've no idea who's 'won'.
>it lasted 10 years
Until the 50s when market reforms ere reintroduced. Rightly or wrongly, this objectively happened.

This is the crux of it. You'll never see socialism. You don't want to.

You're practicing metaphysics. You can't have a stock market in socialism. I don't give a fuck what mental gymnastics the CPC is putting out to justify it.

You aren't very familiar with human history if you think this is unique to America. By your logic everyone on earth basically has carte blanche to just wantonly murder everyone else because every people have committed atrocities. I have a suspicion for some reason that you only apply this logic to white people though.
