white people are so thin skinned it's insane

op, if at all serious, dont bother with reactionaries at all, and rather try to get well meaning liberals/bernie bros/sjws to think past their current political beliefs. I think state and revolution by lenin is a good starting point for classic theory, but capitalist realism by mark fisher is a pretty easy read that utilizes a lot of pop culture, which can be good for normies to relate to quicker, so i usually start people with that. most well meaning left people dislike capitalism so that is a much easier introduction, and then slowly get them interested in communist thought. angela davis and fanon are really good places to go for anyone you know who is interested in social justice politics specifically. join the psl or a similar org, do community outreach, make theory as accessible as possible, educate yourself constantly, dispel anticommunist junk, etc.

>> No.14100396

The right thing to do would be to explore Marxist political theory as an extension of normative ethics by the means of the Kantian categorical imperative, and to go deep into the hypothetical implementation of Marxism into the contemporary world, taking into account the economic state of the world, given as much possible detail into the transition between the current climate and the proposed endpoint.

As a worker born with nothing, I have no way to make money without becoming highly indebted to the upper class. I don't have existing capital to invest and trade for return on investment of course, so what are my other options? I could either learn valuable skills and make a high wage / salary, or start my own business.

Let's talk about starting my own business first. This would be ideal to someone that knows marxist economics and wants to make money, right? If you're the owner, you collect all the profit for yourself on the backs of your workers. But there's a problem here, you can't start you own business without a large amount of capital to start with! You need the knowledge and skills to actually create and maintain the business, and the money to bring this knowledge and skill into the material world! Without this skill, you'll be taking a risk with a very poor chance of returning anything, which is irrational. Without the money, it's impossible to materialize.

So where does acquire these skills? Either a school, which will be very expensive, and require you to take out immense loans, or through decades of experience working for a wage in the business. In both cases, when you finally have the skill and knowledge, you will have to take out another loan. The business then, fails to be an exercise in profit, and rather just bill paying to a j- I mean... nice banker. You have clearly just fallen into a trap. One day, you may have acquired the skills/knowledge to be a good business owner, manifested them into the real world, and paid your debts, and at this point you will be an old man, who has worked his entire life. Not the same as the lazy capitalist, born with money, who simply collected from his financial manager.

But what about acquiring skills to be a good wage / salary worker? Fair enough, but you're going to have to work extremely hard doing engineering, math, law, medicine, or finance. Oh, you didn't want to do these? Or maybe you wanted to do them, but academically? Sorry, too bad, those're your only options. Acquiring these degrees is going to accrue a huge chunk of debt, and transforming them into good employment is going to involve a lot of labour in the form of networking, sycophancy, and other extremely gay forms of contemporary job finding.

Now what happens when you finally graduate, and get a job in these fields? You make a nice wage, congratulations. Well, you're going to spend the next chunk of your life just paying off your student loans. No big deal though, you're going to invest all of your extra money into your financial portfolio! But wait, good financial managers are really expensive, so expensive they're not worth it. Better learn the market buddy! Oh you didn't want to be a man who spends half his life engineering and the other trading? Maybe you wanted to do something creative, or personally meaningful? Perhaps write books, music, or build a race car? Too fucking bad. Anyway, go learn the market, and start investing your few thousands in, getting a few percent return is good! You'll be making thousands with just 10-20 more years of investing. Ooops the market crashed and you lost all your savings haha sorry. No matter, you had a safe portfolio, which is why you only make a few percent ROI! Finally, after 30 years of working super hard to pay off your student loans, mortgage, and building your portfolio, you've achieved financial success, you have capital! Oh, shit, your entire youth is gone, I hope working your whole life was your dream!

Not the same as the capitalist who did nothing but collect ROI his whole life! Laziness is morally bad, right??

But give it all to your son right! Live through your son, right?? That's right, the world is just overflowing with women who will want to marry me, have children, and make a good wife. Fuck, well that's not true, but maybe ill get lucky? Oh, well he cost a million dollars to raise, and turned out extremely rotten, because I was working my whole life and never could actually raise him, so the schools and internet did.

Fuck you. There is no hope for the worker. It is a lie, it is a myth, sold by the rich.

When the Chinese flood Tibet with Han immigrants, or the Soviets settle Russians in Bloc countries, they are doing so to bring these places to heel. To breed the native culture out of existence. The correct response to an existential threat is resistance, not linguistic games about what meets the criteria for genocide.

So when Michelle Obama PHD gets in the news about white flight, faux-jivin' "ya'll STILL runnin' from us," she's talking about whites as you would an army in rout. "We've taken Detroit, now we're coming for Northville."

Well, Properly Educated blacks like the Obamas may be on board with Global Brazil Consumerism, but most blacks are leftists because it serves the interests of the tribe. It's funny, how across centuries, ideologies, continents, race always comes to the fore. The existential question is simple for Tibetans, and it's simple to me.

All this tells me is that race war is just a more primitive form of subjugation. Fascists want a world where every race is enslaved to theirs. This secures them the status position of worker, but AT least not slave. You will not be an artistocrat in a fascist world, you will be a worker. Either you will be eternally at war with the liberals, who are threatened by you, or you will win the final race war, and still be subjugated by your master, who needs your labour to maintain his hierarchical system, lest his slaves revolt.

Fascism is not liberation, it is not a spiritual heaven. It is the same situation to the worker, except he enjoys a mildly elevated social position compared to the liberal worker, as he has a slave class to look down onto. This is spiritual heaven to you? To be able to say nigger, with pride? This is nothing but a deal cut between the ruling class and the worker. The worker does not have to cut a deal, the worker can transcend, destroy all hierarchy, and live in a world where he has the freedom from, and the freedom to, do and have far more than he ever could.

The marxoid critiques of fascism have never corresponded to my reality. Liberation as you envision it is impossible because hierarchy is natural product of human diversity. How do you enforce abolishing wealth accumulation without a higher power with a monopoly on force?

But liberation in that sense is undesirable. A husband, wife and child are all "unequal," but none is less important than the other, and all benefit from their relationships with each other. The person with the least power, the child, arguably benefits the most. So a fascist sees society: a diverse union of people who each have a role to play.

Reality? What is reality to you? Clearly it is that all men desire power, and more power with no reason. But this a dogmatic image of desire. This is idolatry that has a backward logic. We men are always at war with each other, so we believe that more power is what we must have. But this war does not have to be.

Human diversity need not be expressed through power. Look at the immense power of our economy, and how much surplus value it generates. How much power do you really need? For what ends? What do you really want out of life?

You want freedom. Men do not dream of being king of the world do they? They dream of love, they dream of creating wonderful works with their hands, they dream of a quiet soul. Power is not freedom. Power may grant freedom, but a man only needs so much power to be free, for he is limited by his flesh, he is just a man. Desire for infinite power puts power above us, it should be below.

No, see this is my point. Fascists do not think people desire infinite power. We're in perfect agreement on What Men Seek or whatever. My point is that a society of 10 God-seeking artists and Elon Musk is going to have power imbalances simply as a byproduct of people trying to live their lives as they want.

Marxism's strict reliance on materialism is what makes it most unappealing to me personally

I actually went to some meetings with my university's Marxist society, and disliked them a lot. This modernist illusion of eternal progress seems really silly and the club honestly seemed like a group of science fiction fanboys playing a game where they imagine what life is like in their favourite TV show. I personally find great insight in some Marxist theory, and many of my favourite theorists are Marxists, but utopianism nowadays is misguided disillusionment and honestly just reinforces the system it criticises by being yet another commodity or edgy attribute you can "freely" use when designing your individual atomised consumer self

You should read Mosse's Fascist Revolution if you ever get a chance. He talks about exactly this phenomenon. Every time there is a crisis in liberalism and/or capitalism, lots of people who want to embrace something LIKE Marxism/socialism at first flock to those ideologies and are then repelled by how materialistic, anti-individualist, anti-heroic, anti-humanistic etc. they are. Proletarian culture around 1900 was apparently obsessively anti-"great man" etc.

I've had the same experiences nowadays hanging out with Marxists. Surprised me how many of them were secretly into Wilhelm Reich, secretly obsessed with the idea that "if everyone just fucks and lives the orgyporgy lifestyle, all political problems will be over!" Whether it's from Reich or from the post-war psychoanalysis version of the Frankfurt School, this was a very common view among the smartest Marxists I hung out with. I just don't think they understand that it's possible to not like this idea. If you ever say that you think life must be about more than orgyporgy, they naturally assume you only think that because you haven't had enough orgyporgy and you've become "pathological."

These people wouldn't be so offensive on their own, some of them are very thoughtful. The problem is that they're typically surrounded by other college Marxists of much worse varieties: the champagne socialist whose dad pays his or her rent, the obsessive materialist who doesn't even have subtlety about it, the lunatic communist cultist who could just as easily have been a fascist if their favorite color hadn't been red, the simply fairly stupid (if well meaning) DSA types whose political praxis is effectively "can't we all be nice? I want things to be nice.. Poor trannies.." and who wouldn't know how to distinguish Marxism from utopian socialism but who go along with the Marxist crowd because they have the higher prestige or something.

And surrounding all these people is an air of casual drug use, slacker lifestyle that I guess they think is "bohemian" but just comes across as dirty and grimy, drama, and paradoxically, college rich kid entitlement. The net result that I witnessed was that the smartest Marxists tended to have to erect barriers and defense mechanisms to be able to cope with being in the group. And they were also for that reason the most sympathetic to right-wing politics, if only because hanging out with a bunch of lazy histrionic thought-policing trannies for long enough makes it refreshing to talk about anything else once in a while.

This sort of happened to me. I originally tried to get involved in Marxist circles a few years ago an I was absolutely alienated by how...weird all of it was. Like even before I'd ever been exposed to the far right, when I thought Fox News was the epitome of capitalist imperialism in decline or whatever, I wasn't going to "respect" some tranny's pronouns or hoist black people onto a pedestal because of the progressive stack. They worshiped ugliness and slavishness and it was readily apparent that they were nothing more than slaves to the people they pretended to hate. Eventually I ended up looking to the far right and now I'm a fascist because that's really the only way to be anti-capitalist in the 21st century.

I am probably guilty of falling into some of these groups you mentioned, at least partly. The echo chamber of double standards is always a risk when as a young adult you finally find yourself with like-minded people for the first time, and it would be hypocritical of me to criticize it too much, as the people I surround myself with have helped me create one of my own. The whole bohemian lifestyle of intellectual-ish hedonism is another thing I am very guilty of taking part in; I can't deny I enjoy energy and friendship and talking about Adorno in my cigarette smelling lounge, it's the beauty of youth and I am grateful for having the chance to take part in it. Going back to the actual effectiveness of Marxism in the twenty first century, though, all this just shows how being a rebel has effectively become a fetishized commodity. Ideas and dreams are like badges on the parkas that fit the aesthetic we chose to adhere to. I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy smoking weed in some edgy girl's bedroom and talking about some random thing nobody outside the bubble of our uni would care to comprehend, but if that's the state of today's Marxism, it's proof that capitalism has officially killed it, pissed on it, and sold us it's dead body along with scarves and rolling papers. Marxism as a personal ideological statement in today's world is a symptom of pure individualism, where even the idea of anti-individualism is just a branded lifestyle or identity, used to show how morally superior one is and supposedly detached from the world they can't help but consume the products of

Marxism has been commodified, it's merely an identity you buy. It cannot effectively combat capitalism because it is now a part of capitalism. The far right is truly anti-capitalist because capitalism does not (and maybe cannot?) integrate it the same way it has with Marxism. If you become outed as a member of the far right, you are excluded from the capitalist system entirely: expelled from school, fired from you job, deleted from social media, etc.

Marxism's utter failure to materialize is simply a product of the materialist dialectic. Thing have been materially good for how long now? This is no surprise, we live in the triumphant imperialist state. Look at the products you are currently within arms reach of. All built on the backs of the third world worker. Why would the worker in the west rebel against this? He has, relatively, a good deal, and stands to lose something. The first 50 or so years after world war 2 were prosperous, schooling was cheap, the market only went up, products were cheap. This failure for communism to come about during this time is not an indictment against marxism, but corroborates it.

Things are going to get worse, now. Globalism is the end of capitalist expansion, for we cannot go past the globe to find new backs to crack a whip over. This is why the economy has never really recovered from 2008, why wages are stagnant, why student loan debt balloons, as does tuition cost. This is why our parents owned houses, but we don't. As capitalism grinds to a halt, crises become more frequent, and the police become more and more violent to keep us in order, then you will see rebellion. Did you know that the Chileans are in the streets, refusing to work, and causing chaos, in protest of their economic system, right now? What will happen to them? They will either be beaten into submission by their police, or receive a laundry list of concessions from the ruling class. In ether case, capitalism undoes itself. As violence against the people grows, so does dissent. As concessions from the ruling class grow, so does the ability to generate and hoard profit.

Capitalism's ability to subsume marxism only sustains itself by material conditions, and these conditions are evaporating.

Yes, capitalism is unable or unwilling to deliver material wealth or growth to the people any longer (and this is causing people to question it as an economic system). The wealth pump is drying up, and the upper class are attacking the middle class, because that's what happens when growth stalls - you start to invade and loot and play zero sum games.

It's possible that the peoples of nations will rise up and overthrow their masters, but history shows (and is showing) that this is as much an opportunity for the far right as it is for Marxist revolutionaries. There is nothing inevitable about the communist revolution.

>The first 50 or so years after world war 2 were prosperous, schooling was cheap, the market only went up, products were cheap. This failure for communism to come about during this time is not an indictment against marxism, but corroborates it.
It doesn't corroborate it. Many nominally communist countries existed at this time. Whether or not they were pure enough for you, the failure for communism to occur during this time actually (at best) says nothing at all about the validity of marxism. At worst, it says that all attempts at Marxism failed. The lesson of the 20th century was that capitalism was a superior model for wealth generation than anything else implemented by humanity at the time. There were still economic issues during this time, though. It wasn't perfect, and many things changed dramatically in the 70s and 80s. The lesson of the 21st century might prove different, but the lesson seems more likely to be about how dictatorships with centralised control may actually work given sufficiently complex technology.

If anything, the historical conditions are significantly weighted against traditional marxist solutions. The power of the working class has been totally smashed by globalisation and technology, which is why left wing parties no longer represent strong unionised collectives of workers. They represent a fractured gaggle of consumer demographics based on race/sex/sexuality/gender/etc. who all want to rent seek and get bribes from the largesse of markets and democracies. This is not a recipe for a communist revolution, lol.

It is certainly the case that capitalism failing to deliver wealth to ordinary people will lead to instability and questions about how best to run the economic system will arise. This creates an opportunity for Marxism, but unless Communism is actually better at creating wealth through economic growth (which is not clear at all), then there will be blood because the only solution will be to redistribute wealth.

The only legitimate answer to this question is to associate and procreate with individuals of a similar political orientation so that you can establish a cohort of individuals who desire to form a commune. Then you must create a commune and be successful such that others will see the success of your political system and be willing to join all while maintaining an orthodox view of Marxist thought such that your society does not degenerate into a revisionist form. If people shift their faith to yours you will be surprised how quickly the system will collapse as its very foundations are built upon by a strong faith in it. Sucking neoliberal cock will only get you social democracy masquerading as communism which is the current state of many prominent leftist thought in America.

I guarantee the only people who will show an interest in your esoteric ideas are other whites and jews (assuming you are in the U.S.).

A fair view of things, capitalism is built on material wealth for the masses above all else and in the absence of that, it will collapse. It is perhaps why many billionaires are more generous than one might think as they see that infinite wealth matters not in the face of a public which loses faith in the faith-based system that gives their capital value.

These people actively relish victimhood and are incapable of appreciating or creating art. the harsh truth is, More freedom for the weak actually means less freedom for the strong, if we let the weak get their way, they will drag the strong down to their level. Fascism is actually the highest form of anarchy, a fascist is just an anarchist who is not willing to let the freedom of the weak get in the way of his freedom. leftists fancy themselves rebels when they are really just the lapdogs of the establishment, but the truth is there is nothing edgier or more transgressive than all out no holds barred capital-F Fascism and remorseless national socialist revolution.

leftists don't have coherent beliefs beyond tribalism. they are by their own standards 'privileged' people, often among the educated middle classes who want to expiate their own guilt by unloading it onto someone else, hence they are always looking for scapegoats, they cravenly consume communist iconography and rainbow flags as commodities, are often actively hostile to reading books and generally unpleasant to be around. the left is less of a political movement and more of a religion or a specially ineffective form of psychotherapy. having rejected any idea of virtue or the good life they can only turn to hedonism and therapeuthic fixes. too oversocialised to actualy offer a meaningful critique of society.
