For the record Mao is better than Stalin. And neither of them did terribly. Stalin progressed shit to rival the Western industries, Mao basically turned China from land lord ruled bullshit to something capable of strong capabilities.

Basically, going forward in any capacity with insufficient resources requires mass death. There's no real way around it.

But Mao's more interesting than Stalin in that The Long March is absolutely fascinating. By the time Mao became leader, he had written so much fucking poetry theorizing, and speech work; it's a really interesting point of time in Chinese history.

Even though I despise both men, I find Mao more interesting a figure than Stalin. Stalin had a very shaky cult of personality around him, whilst Mao actually succeeded with various social theory and ideas he created on the run throughout China. Mao is a fascinating character, not one I particularly like, but fascinating nonetheless. If that makes sense.

Arise ye workers from your slumbers
Arise ye prisoners of want
For reason in revolt now thunders
And at last ends the age of cant.
Away with all your superstitions
Servile masses arise, arise
We’ll change henceforth the old tradition
And spurn the dust to win the prize.

Refrain:
So comrades, come rally
And the last fight let us face
The Internationale unites the human race.

No more deluded by reaction
On tyrants only we’ll make war
The soldiers too will take strike action
They’ll break ranks and fight no more
And if those cannibals keep trying
To sacrifice us to their pride
They soon shall hear the bullets flying
We’ll shoot the generals on our own side.

No saviour from on high delivers
No faith have we in prince or peer
Our own right hand the chains must shiver
Chains of hatred, greed and fear
E’er the thieves will out with their booty
And give to all a happier lot.
Each at the forge must do their duty
And we’ll strike while the iron is hot.

Morals. What it means, what it stands for, how it could help you, and how it could help others more.

Ideals mean nothing if they cannot help improve quality of life issues. There is more to worry about, than just recycled ideals of philosophers long out dated.

Health, education, food, and shelter, for a lifetime, mean more, than competition among everyone to find meaning.

The fight of the reactionary in the third world and first world means the removal of what little we've gained.

>Why should I not be against marxism if I appreciate European culture?

Because there is other culture to appreciate. Europe did not invent "culture". You deserve to appreciate European culture just as much as any outsider, and any European should study what interests them, live where they want.

It's ultimately about a world without rules, yet a respect that binds men into community despite it.

Cultural Revolution had essentially ended with Lin Biao's death already. With Mao and Zhou out of the way, Guofeng's major role was in providing the official view of Cultural Revolution, which he deemed a failure on some grounds, essentially tearing away its legitimacy.

"I stand for the theory of permanent revolution. Do not mistake this for Trotsky’s theory of permanent revolution. In making revolution one must strike while the iron is hot — one revolution must follow another, the revolution must continually advance. The Hunanese often say, ‘Straw sandals have no pattern — they shape themselves in the making.’ Trotsky believed that the socialist revolution should be launched even before the democratic revolution is complete. We are not like that. For example after the Liberation of 1949 came the Land Reform; as soon as this was completed there followed the mutual-aid teams, then the low-level cooperatives, then the high-level cooperatives. After seven years the cooperativization was completed and productive relationships were transformed; then came the Rectification. After Rectification was finished, before things had cooled down, then came the Technical Revolution. In the cases of Poland and Yugoslavia, democratic order had been established for seven or eight years, and then a rich peasantry emerged. It may not be necessary to establish a New Democratic government, but even so one must still unite all those forces which can be united."

"Poverty, the existence of the poor, was the first cause of riches. This it was which created the earliest capitalist. For, before the surplus value, about which people are so fond of talking, could begin to be accumulated it was necessary that there should be poverty-stricken wretches who would consent to sell their labor force rather than die of hunger. It is poverty that has made the rich. And if poverty had advanced by such rapid strides by the end of the Middle Ages, it was chiefly because the invasions and wars, the creation of States and the development of their authority, the wealth gained by exploitation in the East and many other causes of a like nature, broke the bonds which once united agrarian and urban communities, and led them, in place of the solidarity which they once practised, to adopt the principle of the wage-system. Is this principle to be the outcome of the Revolution? Dare we dignify by the name of a Social Revolution that name so dear to the hungry, the suffering and the oppressed - the triumph of such a principle as this?"

The leading capitalists, the millionaires and billionaires, are sad specimens of the human race, useless and hurtful. The mark of degeneracy is upon them. Their sickly offspring are old at birth. Their organs are sapped with diseases.

Sated and disgusted with everything, they are followed everywhere by ennui as by their shadows. They yawn at rising and when they go to bed. They yawn at their fests and at their orgies.

The pessimism which, in the wake of capitalist property, made its appearance in ancient Greece six centuries before Jesus Christ, and which has since formed the foundation of the moral and religious philosophy of the capitalist class, became the leading characteristic of the philosophy of the second half of the nineteenth century. The pessimism of Theognis sprang from the uncertainties and vicissitudes of life in the Greek cities, torn by the perpetual wars between rich and poor; the pessimism of the capitalist is the bitter fruit of satiety, ennui and the impoverishment of the blood.

>a chinese peasant works 12 hours a day in a collectivized rice field. He is given a meager wage and is chronically hungry
Peasants in work units worked around 22 to 30 hours a week on the productive agriculture season during Cultural revolution. During Winter, field work (mostly spend with improving fields, tending animals and packaging/milling/storing past harvest) amounted to 10 to 15 hours a week.

Rice fields were collectively owned, but individual pieces of land were by custom given to families to tend over. In practise the work was not different from that under capitalist era.

> He is given a meager wage
Peasants who worked in collectives did not earn wage. The collectives kept their production from which a quota was sold at fixed price to the government who then distributed the food to cities and non-agricultural areas. What is done with the rest of the food was chosen by the collectives democratically. The wages of peasants were not as meager as your make them out to be: average peasant's income increased by average of 18% a year between 1951 and 1969.

> is chronically hungry
The nutrition of Chinese peasants increased massively under Mao's reign, which is the leading cause (with improved medicine) to the massive growth rate of population (310 million in 27 years). After Great Leap, starvation, famine and chronic hunger became isolated and relatively rare incidents and the food production increased massively during 1960s.

these are all documented by the two visits to Maoist China by the Swedish journalist Jan Myrdal in his books Report from a Chinese Village, China: the revolution continued Return to a Chinese Village, which showcase the common life a village in Shanxi over two decades, underlining the rapid improvement of living conditions under Maoist currencies.

Mao saved the peasants. Deng merely followed up on it.

Indeed, as such is not possible to find out of when Chiang never conducted any censuses nor carried centralized mortality statistics. Literally nobody knows how many people died of starvation during the Northern Expedition or Great Plains war. But if average of 750 000 military deaths per annum for twenty years is preferable to you. Given that Chiang greenlit things like breaking Yellow River Dams, killing perhaps 2 000 000 indirectly, not even a staunch anti-Maoist can consider a very preferable alternative.

Marx was taken aback, his entire universe shaken by this unapologetic display of logic and reason. The rationality drove him to shuddering, ugly tears.

“Don’t get snot on all of my money.” Rand said (Obviously, as the greatest writer who ever lived, she was SUPER RICH, so much so that it’s in piles fucking everywhere). “Top kek. So pwnt.”

First of all, he came to power 20 years after China was already attacked by the Japanese, and he did manage to centralize large parts of it. Not really an argument for him, but the fact the Japanese were out of the picture and Soviet presence in Manchuria is what gave the Commies the ability to do this.

>Indeed, as such is not possible to find out of when Chiang never conducted any censuses nor carried centralized mortality statistics.
While that is true, there was only one large scale famine and nowhere to the extent of that during communist times, it wasn't caused by government economic policies either. That's the main difference between them.

>Northern Expedition
Which was before Chiang was in power as the leader of China, however the expedition itself was successful

>But if average of 750 000 military deaths per annum for twenty years is preferable to you.
Very much preferable to over 20 million starving to death during peace time

>Given that Chiang greenlit things like breaking Yellow River Dams, killing perhaps 2 000 000 indirectly, not even a staunch anti-Maoist can consider a very preferable alternative.
Maybe if you inflate the numbers some more. Still a preferable alternative to Mao and dozens of millions killed in peace time, without me needing to bring up their military casualties to argue for him. The breaking of the Yellow river dam, effective or not, was the result of the Japanese advance and an attempt to stop or, at least, delay them. He didn't go out determined to kill the Chinese culture either.

Some would undoubtedly call each generation's fascination with Marxism a symbol of hope. They think they'll be the one generation in history able to pull it off and be revered for ages to come. I call it ignorance and insanity. It's been tried over and over again and it always fails because of human nature. I think it's because the people who really try to implement it are exceptional in a dirty way. They can manipulate others and use brute force when their jealousy of exceptional people peaks. Their inadequacy is a false pretext to spread equality for the good of mankind. Funny that the ones who implement any kind of collectivism always end up eating caviar while their subjects starve. Always. Without fail.

526. The argument between socialism and capitalism comes down to this: to those who, when left to their own devices, naturally rise above the mean, and to those who fall below. The former will be proponents of capitalism, the latter of socialism. The former are talented and hard-working, the latter talentless and lazy. And all this is proved by the failure of socialism, and in particular that of communism: its ultimate manifestation — as if a group of habitual losers at the individual level would be able to create, by pooling together all their weaknesses and failures, a winning combination!
But it is plain that, as they lose on the individual level — as individuals — they will ultimately lose on the group level too. The only reason they temporarily succeeded at a few points in history is because they were facing even greater losers: a complacent and degenerate aristocracy.

I'll explain to you, what the Dark Enlightenment is, then.

It’s probably a lot funnier if you witnessed it in its formation, but basically it stems from the idea of the red pill in the matrix, which is taken by neo to escape from the simulated world he was in, and re-enter reality.

The irony that the matrix is a heavily postmodern film which was part-directed by a transwoman doesn’t seem to occur to the people who started using the analogy first, in some horrendous modern day imitation of the platonic cave allegory. at first it was mainly masculinists who started using it, so far as i can tell, with the red pill apparently being that all women are evil and deceptive, and misandry is Everywhere

Enter the “hero” of our story, “mencius moldbug”, a white middle class american reactionary nerd blogger. and i don’t mean reactionary in an old bolshevik all-capitalists-are-reactionaries way, i mean he literally identifies as a “neo-reactionary”. in one of his more notorious (and verbose) posts, he started using the analogy as a means of critiquing “universalism”, a category which lumps marxism, anarchism, humanism, liberalism, postmodernism and god knows what else all under one ill-defined label. he reserves a special amount of scorn for liberal democracy and for the media, which he calls “the cathedral” and sees as controlled by commies, basically.

Very soon he began to attract a cult following of similarly misguided rightists, who soon became “the dark enlightenment” and are possibly the only political movement in history to print magic: the gathering cards of themselves as a means of promotion. they’re nerds by the way. they also, much like libertarians, have a fondness for overdetailed graphs and political spectrums, and not getting laid.

>> No.6371955

>>6371920
>>6371928

General ideology: Reactionary, the techno-commercialist wing. I was redpilled by Moldbug. The tl;dr. version is this: optimize for intelligence, optimize for asabiyyah(As much as possible in a declining civilization) and select for a higher quality population.

Dark enlightenment chart position: Connected to the political philosophy people via Moldbug, Idegoria, Nydwracu, Spandrell, James Donald and the Techno-commercialists via Nick Land.

Trichotomy position: The techno-commercialist branch, with some sympathies to the ethno-nationalist branch(Supporting omniseperatism) and willing to allow theonomists their own country.

One of the problems with ideologies is that they reify and "fix" reality when reality is unfixed. For Bolsheviks the idea of revolution was both a cataclysmic seizure of power, and a real transformation in the mode of production (not that they actually intended this, but it was important to ape in their propaganda). "Permanent" revolution was about transforming the cataclysmic seizure of power into a permanent powerbase for a nomenklatura bourgeois. In the propaganda it was the transformation of an act of overthrow into a claim to be permanently transforming people's material relations. Basically, for Trotsky's faction in the Bolsheviks, this meant a rapid heavy industry line and anti-peasant campaign in the early 1920s.

This shit fight between Trotsky and Bukharin has now become an object of faith that is universally applicable for ortho-trots.

You're reading things I'm not saying again. For all that it matters I think society could work without any kind of strong state structure, and the revival of all those narratives that got tramped by Europe is one of the things I really like about postmodernism. A few hundreds of years ago people lived in complex societies without money and it's perfectly plausible that we'll go back to that kind of systems in the next 1000 years. One of the greatest problems Marxism has is that it's a product of its time, a lot of the ideas take for granted the context of the early industrial revolution when the world isn't certain parts of Europe in the 18th century, not even Europe anymore.
That is not to say that M&E should go eat a dick, it's just that their ideas have to be implemented and reinterpreted to make sense. We already do that and I'm sure we would be doing similar things without them because collectivism, communalism and other systems based on social debt existed since forever.

If we're gonna talk about Marx I really prefer to remember historical materialism, that is one really big game changer that doesn't get enough love.

Agreed. I'm also not implying Marx himself, and his work, is flawless. It has to be updated for modern times, times are different.

But, what everyone takes away from Marx can still be felt regardless of time, just to various intensities. The ideas presented are timeless, because people are still getting exploited, as are we, as is history.

It depends on what place in the world and what time to which culture, depends on how to implement the work itself. I'm more of a follower of Kropotkin, other anarchists thinkers at the time, and Spanish anarchists, than of Marx. But regardless, much of what he says still stands the test of time, while being a a product of its time.

Marx's work isn't timeless, but what it came from, is. The hunt throughout time for some form of freedom away from any and all exploitation is all that humans can hold onto of their future. To say that any human being, any human being at all, finds comfort in the thought of continued centuries of economic or state domination is a false one. It is the simplicity of what we hold onto, that Marx and Engels were merely an echo of, that is what can make a better world possible. That's what I believe.

That's a nice line. No one can deny how much Marx influenced the world, even if no one ever did exactly what he wrote. There was a pic doing the rounds where each philosopher was connected to the people he influenced and Marx was the number one spot, above Hegel, Plato and Aristotle. While that sounds impposible if you think it through the fact that people didn't question it shows how he changed the game.

>>6372323
While its not such a great difference if you think about it, no one 50 years ago could had guessed how society evolved, even less 100 and 200 years ago industrialization was barely a thing. I'm not one of those silly heads that talk about oil running out and water and stuff, we'll deal with that when it comes; but I really think that finishing the modernist route would be a much more natural response than living underground, space exploration, or any of the proposed futuristic scenarios (and I'm assuming we all know the market will never self regulate, the state will never open the doors to a stateless society and there is no kingdom of heaven and if there was one that doesn't affect life here and now)

There's more exploitation going on than just workers rights, or income. Providing everyone with free income, does not stop inter-community violence.

For example, trans women, especially black trans women, are mostly, violently harassed, and or killed. You could say "WELL DUR JUST NOT DO THAT!." And you'd be making a vast generalization of a complex issue.

Besides the point, hatred towards anyone outside of strict heterosexuality is curious, it's allowed others to investigate where that comes from further, to try and explain, and better control the situation at hand.

If you think exploitation will suddenly vanish with state enforced equality, you're misunderstanding what lead to exploitation to begin with, to stick, so long ago. There are many ways of describing this that have done it better than I, one example would be the concept of the Other, another, would be the Subaltern.

No one cares about your class mysticism and the hubris you personally derive from it.

>Khrushchev: The difference between the Soviet Union and China is that I rose to power from the peasant class, whereas you came from the privileged Mandarin class.
>Zhou: True. But there is this similarity: each of us is a traitor to his class.

The difference between you and Mao is that Mao had revolutionary praxis, spent his life working to build socialism from China's semi-feudal society, and had lasting successes from that work, whereas you shitpost on 4chan about how you're the only real Marxist and everyone else are deviant bourgeoisie. If only we and all the other workers in your union in the imperial centers would just realize that you -really- understand Capital! The nerve that the Leninists didn't look to you for instruction or we'd be living in Communist Utopia /right now/!

>is that Mao had revolutionary praxis
The bourgeois is incapable of praxis, as proof I point to the ideology of 100 flowers and GLF.

Praxis would not have produced the GLF, because, much more like the attempts during the cultural revolution to cohere the subject, it would have arisen from the people.

>No one cares
Which is strange, because I seem to have brought the issue of praxis to the fore, Leninists aren't currently winning the propaganda terrain on /lit/, and you still haven't addressed how control over value for the purpose of production of surplus value isn't bourgeois.

>[Zhou and Khrushchev as class traitors]
Sadly they were both impotent against Stalinism and reformism. Mikyokan did more than either of them.

>whereas you shitpost on 4chan about how you're the only real Marxist and everyone else are deviant bourgeoisie.
I've never done that mate. Why don't you go home and write a big character poster about how you'd like to kill me?

>If only we and all the other workers in your union in the imperial centers would just realize that you -really- understand Capital! The nerve that the Leninists didn't look to you for instruction or we'd be living in Communist Utopia /right now/!
Did you miss the point where I constantly return to praxis? Your formulation of imperialism, by the way, is anti-Leninist and doesn't deal with the localised nature of wage formation (you ought to know this, it is in Volume 1, where Marx talks about what the wage is).

As far as developing praxis, I'm not the one worshipping class enemies, no matter how much feudalism they primarily accumulated into capitalism, for their ideological contributions.

And it isn't only unions in the "imperial centres" that matter. It is unions wherever human effort is converted to a wage in the context of capital. Which is everywhere. And we, together, are the only ones who can materially work our way out of this situation.

>that the Leninists didn't look to you for instruction
Please do bother to read some of the KAPD/AAUD material sometime in your life. It offers a very different reflection on the "failure" of the German revolution to the anti-class pessimism of Lenin or Frankfurt.

Raya's project? Or the failed Nagy Institute?

>Foucault!!8WvUZxvX53M has no idea of the history of humanism in Marxism other than the PCF/Existentialist issues.

Humanism was a worker centred reformist project coming out of the Hungarian revolution which gave legitimacy to QR, Socialisme ou Barbarie, Johnson-Forrest etc.

It called broadly across these currents for a return to praxis centred in the proletarian subject; and, a thorough going micro study of praxes. Compare and contrast to the Wallerstein project of going to the other end of the contradiction in terms of totalisation.

Humanism in this sense implies following closely the norms of praxes, not universal and transcendent norms.

It reads exactly like I meant it to read. If you want to run in a sense of economy and state, you have to sacrifice lives, it's inevitable. Any straightforward approach would end in such a result to leap forward, and it's what they did, and considering, they did a good job leaping forward. Exactly how it was designed.
