I almost exclusively use Holla Forums on h@lf ch@n. I consider myself a nationalist, anti-immigrant, market liberal. I am an atheist, and a materialist. I believe abortion is the slaying of human life, and I am against it past the first trimester. I believe transgenderism is a mental disorder. I'm not inherently anti-gay, but I confirm that they are evolutionary deadends, and thus should not be held up as some proud standard in a civilization which needs reproduction, and continuation. I think that race exists, and it is genetic, and Autism Level is 50-80% genetic. I think culture and Autism Level are more important that class distinctions, and I believe a free market helps everyone in the long-term. I'm open to the idea of a basic income once technology has produced severe unemployment in the latter half of the this century, or in a few decades. I consider inflation worse than unemployment. I voted Trump over Clinton. I prefer stricter environmental regulations, I believe climate change is a real and devastating thing, and that nuclear power is a tool in reducing climate change. I do not consider myself alt-right, but I clearly have sympathetic tendencies to them. I am 24 years old, and earlier in my life I transitioned to my current position, from the more vague leftist and progressive stances of organizations such as TYT, MSNBC, Huffpo, random facebook groups etc. Before my current beliefs, social democrat was probably my most accurate description, thus over the years I have become far more capitalist, and authoritarian, and traditional. I'm the type of person that may from time to time disparage "degeneracy."
I'm telling you this so that you know who you are dealing with. I want you to, "red pill" me concerning Marxism, and the strains of Marxism. I'm coming here in complete sincerity, and with a genuine desire to fairly examine leftist/Marxist/Communist ideas from an non-mainstream perspective. My teenage and early college "social democrat" days were more feeling based than fact based in my opinion. So, all I ask, is for study material, perhaps a paragraph or two on why I am utterly wrong in my views, or even why I'm right in some. Tell me why you are a leftist today, if you are viewing this thread, why are you what you are, and why should I change? And more importantly, what, if any, are the core problems with how I have described myself. Thank you.
literally no reason besides me listening to his song in Kaiserreich HOI4, and enjoying it, and then researching the origin.

The most coherent revolutionary philosophy of its time. It was unfortunately limited by the anthropology of its time. Bookchin greatly improves upon it while retaining its coherence.
Zachary Smith
disgusting disgusting disgusting disgusting based based based false dichotomy it is possible to pursue full employment while preventing inflation from spiraling out of control see: Market Anti-Inflation plan by Abba Lerner idiocy read the bible based accelerationist based based Overall I'd rate you as a real mess that needs to sort himself out. You have a hodge podge of confusing and contradictory stances, anti-immigrant while anti-abortion when to be consistently pro-life is to be in favor of both, in favor of basic income and a (free?) market at the same time, in favor of more environmental regulation yet voting for trump over Clinton, materialist yet nationalist…yeah you need to figure yourself out more.

I don't deny that its an eclectic mix. I'm not open to a basic income now, I would definitely say no now, but I have a fear that work in the traditional sense will become for real scarce by 2040s and beyond. I'm nativist, because of my position on lQ and culture, and my belief in the supremacy of European values. I also do not see any benefit in letting another group ravage your social safety net and capital, just to eventually become the majority in your indigenous lands. I prefer they better their lands, especially due to our genuine lack of space, and the expected population growth.

the only legit Marxist-Leninists were Stalin, Hoxha, and the Juche regime.
Tito was decent for a revisionist
nice Mahkno pic, the only Ukie I ever liked, true anarchist communism, before anarchism was hyphenated.
most Trotskyists are International revisions (imho, same with Luxemburgists) Kropotkin was only good on an economic platform. I prefer Bakunin and Proudhon above all anarchists.
Marxist-Leninism is fine but I prefer Socialism in one state or satellite states. also Blanqui didn't have enough of an army of malcontents to overthrow capitalism. but he tried.

You're going to have to read fam. Wage Labor and Capital by Marx is pretty good for grasping some of the basics, and if you want to learn about the section represented by the pic in OP Malatesta's Anarchy should be read.

The board is generally pretty quiet at this point. I'm pretty tired myself to the point of struggling to construct anything more than some late night shitposts but this pdf should give you a good understanding. It's 32 pages including cover etc. marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/Marx_Wage_Labour_and_Capital.pdf This wikipedia page is pretty good for bullying people who talk about Basic Economics (aka Libertarian free market economics) and is why Keynesianism worked so well en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_thrift
