FAQ (READ THIS if you're from Holla Forums or reddit)

Hey BO! Can we get an addition to the FAQ that clarifies that Mick posting is ironic and satire so we don't get idiot newfags believing we have a bizarre hatred for the irish.

But the filthy Micks really are trying to destroy our nation!

Why is Not Socialism regarded a joke here? I'm not a Nazi I just think the country should come first.

because if anything the correct position in that case would be national bolshevikism

Ahoy Holla Forums, what do you think about 2ch.hk/ussr/?
It's almost dead, but, however, we have interesting debates and theory sometimes, so do yo want to translate something from here to the CIS post-soviet board? Or maybe to have something translated to you from us?
Sorry if someone already asked this, my internet isn't doing well by now, can't surf it through.

make a thread about it. we're interested

I have a bunch of old thread I saved in my bookmarks, but they are 404 now, is there like an archive or a way to get them back?

Legit all these threads about race

So I get that idpol is spooky, but I want to know more about Holla Forums's positions on those ideas. Any response to any of these would be helpful, honestly. You guys post lots of memes, and I just want to know what you actually think.

I'm not an SJW or neolib, but I guess I would accept the term "liberal" if it's meant in the classical sense. Mostly I'm a rationalist who wants to minimize harm. Right now I think there's some worthwhile stuff in the above greentext, but it's all very badly muddied. Is the Holla Forums answer just "fix class struggle and all the above is solved"?

Yes. Niggers were slaves. The culture that arose from that relation is fading, but it's still there.
It sometimes helps, but it, as everything else, creates a reaction and I would say that politics based on identities such as gender and race has reached its limits.
People get it. "Respekt women and minorities". The fundamental problem is private property.
Largely a joke, but it might have some revolutionary potential.
I don't care who enters 'my country'. Most people are retarded no matter where they come from. My only concern is that Israel has produced a lot of Neet Socialists in the middle east.
Yes. Men have been superior, for either cultural or biological reasons, at producing capital. This gives them a hiarchial advantage.

I would say there are ways to eliminate some of the gender differences within capitalism through politics, but it's a silly game because I do not want women to conform to different gender roles that produce equal capital, rather I would have everyone be socialists.
Well, the above.
A silly reaction to silly bourgeois feminism.
Yes. Same with racism and sexism it gets better, but again, it creates a reaction we don't want right now.
Well, of course.
What do you mean? Do I need a view on why people enjoy dressing up?
Too much 'in your face', but I understand as they have had to hide for a long time.

Can someone explain the "muh human nature" meme? Is it just a response to people who say communism/socialism is against human nature or that capitalism is human nature? Something like that? Or is it the idea that human nature is a spook and humans are blank slates?

Blank slates in a sense, yes.
But mostly it's a senseless meme that is used to refute senseless arguments.
Muh human nature argument is usually spouted by people with no scientific background that think genes control everything.

so basically 90% of the world population nowadays? no wonder why we cant have a nice revolution

mate can I just ask you a few questions about how leftypol is different from pol then? Is it only about socialism/communism?

I knew you didn't go full retard with that SJW shit but that you are against refugees surprises me a bit.

What is leftypol's stance about differences in race? Based on statistics, indians rape, blacks have low IQ, guns don't kill people but niggers do, and whites are less likely to end up in jail. This is what I believe hence I vote conservative.

Also, do you see the gender wage gap as a problem? Do you think it exists? Didn't want to open threads for these as I suppose the opinion of the whole board will be pretty dominant and won't leave much room for discussion

Well first off, I've yet to be convinced of this point by any statistics. Secondly even if these things were true, it wouldn't matter because we would want to build a system where individuals are in charge of their own affairs, and if those groups did commit crimes out of proportion to their share of the population, they would be punished exactly in proportion to their share of the crimes.

Not in the same way liberals do - we see wage labor itself to be the problem, regardless of whethere there is a "gap" or not. If a gap were to exist, it would only be further evidence of how broken and unjust the wage system can be.

It seems to be made up in order to support Idpol. So, no. I don't.

I appreciate it mate. Typically Holla Forumsacks just spam threads about this shit in an accusatory manner and come off as cunts with a major streak of unwarranted self-importance. It's nice to see someone legitimately attempting to understand the opposition's position for a change.

Mods, can we get a Posadist flag?

Mods, can we get new flags at all?

Not sure at this point, but knowing how Holla Forums has gone down the shitter in terms of maintenance, I'm guessing no. IIRC banners can't be added right now, but I will ask the BO about flags just to be sure.

Checkers is being autistic again.

The cogwheels of bureaucracy are grinding slowly.

Hi guys. So basically i'm a complete dunce. I don't know a lot about Politics but I know I identify more on the left than the right. I believe in equality, I believe everyone IS equal and should be able to have equal opportunities. I believe health care and education should be a right rather than a muh privilege. I've slightly read stuff in regards to socialism and marxism and i'd like to know more.

Was wondering if you could recommend me some books or maybe interesting articles that would give me a basic understanding on the left.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau "A Discourse on the Origin of Inequality" is fairly easy to get through and covers some basic philosophical tenents of Leftism :)

It can be seen as an overlapping term for any anarchist who is also concerned with a feminist critique of gender relations among anarchists, while still identifying with any number of other anarchist schools of thought. It isn't something that discounts you from being an anarchist without adjectives, or an individualist, or collectivist, and so forth. If you don't concern yourself with a feminist stance within anarchist circles, your still cool. You just don't wear the badge. Is it overly concerned with identity politics? I don't think so. It's a term for recognizing a trend among anarchists going back to the early 20th century, and the person many people consider to have unintentionally founded it simply because she emphasized both her anarchist communist stance, and her feminist stance: Emma Goldman.

If you want to know what anarcha-feminist looked like one hundred years ago, she stands as the original mold. If you're concerned with what anarcha-feminists look like today, you'll have to look at them individually. It's not an organization. It's a tendency within other schools of thought.

I am very new and have surely not lurked enough, been lurking for less than two days. But it's something i feel strongly about and was surprised to see Pic related because my concept of Socialism was and still is an equal society, and can't imagine this achievable outside an open democratic system where we agree to share, also freedoms help in stabilizing systems for we all know the dangers of internal cracks and how easily it can be hijacked.
Anyway /leftpol/s position when it comes to personal freedoms and political ones inside a socialist society.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us are against mass surveillance in every kind of society.
Most of us in Holla Forums, apart from a few edgy contrarian tankies, believe in total freedom as long as you don't interfere with the freedom of others

I have several Marx books, the essential -or i think to be- ones. But i am interested in new substantive material, perhaps ones that might shed some light on the general position of the left in modern times.

tl;dr
Books i might need to read to get up to speed?

Your best bet is to check out leftist news sources and get a feel for their positions that way. Ultimately any text by one author is only gonna sum up their own position, there isn't really an easily generalizable one.

What is the best way to ask if anons have any archives of 404'd threads?

I meant that a lot of muslims have become Nazi that believe Isreal rules the world.

Posting here because I don't want to shit up other threads with noob questions.

Some people in another thread (591357) were arguing about "commodity production" and "market socialism", prompting one of them to say that "Capitalism arises from commodity production". In what sense do they mean "commodity" here? Surely they don't mean that under communism there's no food/clothing/furniture/computer/car production anymore.

I honestly don't believe there is such a thing as market socialism.

I'm currently trying to make up my mind about that, actually. References would be helpful, especially if not too long. But could you answer my question please?

I'm not very well read, so I'm sorry. I'm just a drunk who feels like writing. However, a market is based on competition. I do not believe in competition based production or distribution of goods. I believe in a needs based production of goods.

Capitalism wage labor. Some people because of being cunts or random historical factors own the means of production. by these random happenings they can exploit others. A market is competition based trade, not sharing. It seems to me to be literally anti-communist. A market creates winners and losers based on, in a significant degree at least, random factors. So it creates a service-bourgeoisie and a service-proletariat.

Of course, it's not as simple as that, but in the end: such a market has no place in a civilized society. I apologize for not having theory to reference to, but at the same time we are all allowed to think for ourselves.

Again: I'm drunk and my hands are hammering with only SOME thought, but at the moment this makes sense.

So instead of a market you're suggesting we transition to a more collaborative, open-source economic system based on social stability (systematic reduction of inequality and meeting everyone's basic needs) and global resource sustainability determined by scientific analyses and statistics?

Fuck off, techno-utopian! Muh fully automated luxury gommunism! Is that you, Peter Joseph? Have you been drinking again?

What is "datamining"? What are people talking about when they say it?

Hey there Holla Forums
I would describe myself as a liberalist and I'm certainly not well-read.
But I would like to have a discussion about our political views.

Basically I would like to ask you why you choose your current political orientation over liberalism.
Your views intrigue me and I would like to learn more about them.

Because I support democracy in all forms and thus does not see why we should not have democracy in the workplace where we spend a huge chunk of our lives.

Personal self-interest

By democracy at the workplace you mean having your workplace controlled by the government?

I believe that such a thing would require an enormous amount of bureaucracy and is undesirable since some branches would require the leadership of experts, rather than that of the general populace.

The problem with bureaucracy is that it mainly exists to maintain and organise things and since bureaucracy itself does not produce anything, it should be limited.

The population can easily be swayed and manipulated by tricks which is why I don't believe too much in democracy and why the populace might make poor choices in retrospect.

What are your views and what are your interests?

No, I meant what I said litterally.
Democracy in the workplace. A cooperative.

Is this really what liberals think democracy means? Smh

My personal self-interest dictates me that the means of production should be handled more collectively, that is by the workers and not by the bosses. While there is obviously a possibility that I would end up being a boss under capitalist system, the chance is slim and I might end up being a worker and therefore the one exploited due to my weaker position. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his deed" is on the other hand much more appealing in that regard. Of course I won't be able to cement my power as a capitalist in such case, but I prefer to play it safe.

trips confirm the truth

yes, i saged in a sticky. so sue me you bourgeois servant of porky

We need a Posada flag, a Luxembourg flag and a Lares flag. I realize this might be an issue with the current problems plaguing the website but still.

fuck off fam

Fuck off mate, it might not be an important part of socialist history but it is a part of it.

Besides, most people on this board are American and it's the closest we've ever gotten. Why don't you go let some more refugees in, you cunt?

it was also literally the first socialist revolution ever like before socialism was even exactly like we know it like barely after das kapital volume 1 was even published which inherently makes it pretty important but whatever i won't nitpick

good evening comrades

Why "anarcha", though? Connection vowels are of a genderless nature, it's like saying that book-o-matic or YugOslavia are sexist terms.

why do you think they say womyn

I dislike racism/sexism but I'm not an sjw.
I think tumblrtards are insane.

Is it possible for me to still be a socialist? Or am I more right wing?

From what you say, you could range from center right to full blown Communist.

You'll be seen as a Brocialist outside of here, but we generally have no problem with your position.

You and most of the board, you're welcome here.

You and most of the board, you're welcome here.

no bully

Funny how the muslims, blacks, hispanics, and jews (when they aren't pretending to be white) all absolutely think they have races, and all cooperate politically for the advancement of their races, and "white" "liberals" are all totally okay with this and make literally zero effort to convince the non-whites to stop promoting themselves as a race.

It's almost as if the "no race" myth is snake oil sold exclusively to white people.

btw i don't see any real rules anywhere so i don't know whether i'm allowed to say things here but if 'lefty' does - as is typical - translate to 'no unapproved opinions' then i guess i'll see you guys on realpol when you show up to shitpost

Could someone answer my question?

Click "Show post options & limits" and choose one from the drop-down menu (it should say "None" by default).

Why are you all such pathetic, bitter morons? Were you beaten into retardation as a child? Are your parents siblings? Did you huff too much petrol and now blame the seizures on Shell?
Also why are you here instead of /r9k/? We only need one board for angry useless parasites that worship middle-class NEETs that never worked a day in their lives. Why split up the community?

So basically I spent a lot of time on Holla Forums, even I always considered myself being on the left.

>Even if I mention much the word country 'I am not against the principle of internationalism

I think I'll stop there for now.
As you may have noticed English is not my first language so I apologize for potential writing faults.
So can I be accepted here? If this is not the case I would be curious to know the reasons

You seem more in line with neo-conservatism and fascism.

Your English is fine. People learning it as a second language tend to be self-conscious about it, but are also usually better than most native speakers.

Hard to say, you're talking about details rather than big picture. Who do you think should control the means of production?

Why ? This is my compass btw

Public property, so by the social class that controls them

You're fine, just expect shitflinging on certain issues you've mentioned.

...

Ok.

Do you care about who fucks who?
Do you care what spook people believe in?
No? Wellcome.
(I guess that with "over-acceptance" you mean "making everything about sexuality and so on).

SURE! As long as it's training and not wasting peoples time, to keep a class of army professionals going.

Ye, ok. +1.

This need definition as it's used by everyone for everythign.
We are all living in America. Is this not "internationalism"?

So… Isn't that internationalism? (they aren't mine either).

Fascism.

Authoritarianism.

Conservatism. Sexual disorders should not be condemned, but rather studied. If they are proven to be detrimental to the individual's mental and/or physical health, then there needs to be humane treatment options if available in the future.

This sounds nice, but you haven't explained why there are refugees to begin with. Have you ever thought about whether the military that you love so much may have contributed to the problem?

Neither are the global elites. The 1% that owns half of the world's wealth transcends borders too.

Dude, this is literally fundamental to both Marxism and Anarchism, read some fucking theory 101.

Implying both marxist and anarchist are not socialists and on the same side.

Implying we should fight our allies when fascism are on the rise.

Your tortured explanation of how leftism is actually edgy and "politically incorrect" is just meaningless semantics.

By politically incorrect most people obviously mean a marginalized viewpoint that threatens the current status quo. Something actively being censored.

Antifa thugs and left wing immigrants bludgeon natives to death on European streets and American leftists wield the power to ruin careers with a phone call. In the UK, you can be jailed for tweeting anything vaguely racist or right wing.

So why pretend you're some sort of rebellious persecuted opposition? Why come to Holla Forums of all places when you can express the same positions on mainstream sites or even in public with zero consequences?

TL;DR You're a bunch of hall monitors. Stop pretending otherwise.

Read Žižek.

I don't need more jargon or an explanation of how taking shits is a revolutionary act. What I would like is for you to explain to me how someone whose ideology dominates (often violently) public discourse could possibly be considered "politically incorrect"

Again, what stops you from using public forums. I would get banned from them for expressing my views. You would not. I would lose my livelihood if identified. You would not.

Why do you need to be on free speech site like Holla Forums? I know why I'm here. Why you here?

Give me one good reason.

Get a load of this faggot.

Where I live, you get fired on the mere suspicion that you're involved with union organizers, much less a full fledged commie.

Today you fuck. Not under good ol' Joe McCarthy. Nowhere in the modern west are you under the least threat by openly espousing communism or socialism.

Admit it. You just wanted to be part of the cool kids club. I bet you use TOR to browse Mother Jones and Alternet because dah FBI might be keeping tabs on your dangerous radical activities.

Dude, FIAT literally fires people because they're in FIOM.

And that's Italy, not some african shithole where might makes right and you tutelate your rights by shooting at people.

[citation needed]

Across Europe I would be censored and jailed for expressing my views. In the US an off color Facebook post can ruin my career and effectively blacklist me. You do not experience any of this. You are not a dissident. You are a hall monitor for the elite.

You don't need to be here and you should not be here.

So I've been reading the Anarchist FAQ and I found a section criticizing Marxism (anarchism.pageabode.com/afaq/secHcon.html). It makes some good points, what do you have to say about it.

What's happened to Bunkermag?

Hey Holla Forums, I have a simple question. I'm going to be studying law after the summer. Would being a lawyer be a thing in a classless, stateless society or would it be better for me to pick up plumbing or being an electrician at that point?

I don't think lawyers can be replaced by muh robots, so yeah, but it would definitely look different.

Yes they can.
Easier than construction workers.

How could anyone possibly believe a system that instated regulations that controlled production in every way but name and deployed a secret police to enforce them is in any way right-wing?

Curious lad from brit/pol/ here: where does lefty/pol/ stand on the Euromaidan, annexation of Crimea and conflict in the Donbass?

I'm not sure where S█████ stands (given how the American media portrays Russia I think I'd have heard about it if he was out of step with Obama) but I've always given Corbyn credit for being absolutely right on this issue by criticising NATO for provoking the crisis.

Treatment of Eric Hobsbawm hardly suggests an defender of communism is treated as a pariah.

Putin and Yeltsin are porky bastards who distributed Russia's industries to one hundred or so oligarchs. The poverty line of Russia is going up like never before. For the conflict in Donbass and Crimea, I personally don't give a shit. Other comrades might though.

Hey BO, I think it would be a great idea to put a link to /freedu/ on the FAQ in order to direct newfags to a place where they can read lots of leftist theory.

Since we already have this word filter thing going, I request to add auto-replace of "Cultural Marxism" with "Not Marxism".

cultural memism was better.

YOU FOOLS

YOUVE DOOMED US ALL

My old man literally lost his career as a teacher at a community college because he helped lay groundwork for a union of sorts, they simply didnt renew his contract and blackballed him, he ended up working as a prison librarian for 2 years, fucked him up good

you wouldnt even necessarily get fired for saying "all niggers are subhumans" or some shit, probably some places but technically you have the 1st..

you will get rekt for organizing unions in the US however, you may not get murdered coca-cola style but something will happen

Holla Forumsyps are so pathetic.

Being a leftist and being politically incorrect are not possible in the present political climate.

Go ahead and try to organize a union in your workplace if it's not unionized and tell me what happens. I'll wait.

please tell that to the V-schutz maybe they will get off my back

anyhow i hope you are keeping your idpol under wraps and tying to talk to people about trump in an empathetic, rational way.

lot of folks are really sick over this DNC bullshit. I would suggest you avoid pointing fingers and laughing at them(its hard i know) and offer these good people a coat

oh and also

You are SUCH A FUCKING MORON

he never said anything about a wall or müslis ya dink, or did i miss something.

those are meme topics, i like his actual stance on shutting down the cancerous western union money grubbing that rapes latino migrants and sucks money out of the economy, but you probably havent read that because you get your news from cenk or something

everything you said is

you seriously must be 12, its hard to come off as more irrational than a polack talking about rounding people up but somehow you are doin it muchacho.

nobody gonnas round anyone up. nobody is gonna deport all the muslims. how naive are you people?

didnt zizek just point out suprisingly eloquently that trump is actually a lot more liberal than his supporters think he is, much like putin

you all need to calm the fuck down

Well, here's a thought for you buddy, individuals are not the government, the constitution only applies to government entities. You are allowed to spout sub-human filth such as hating free speech, but I would take it upon myself to give you a taste of your own medicine, and punch you in the mouth repeatedly, even if I'll face legal consequences.

The Mexican president has apologized to Trump and is warming up to him because he knows that Mexico has NO POWER when it comes to international politics, the Mexican president is weak, and if we have to war with Mexico to make them right their wrong, I will more than happily enlist.

Sanders could have kept going, but he wasn't the martyr that you thought he was, was he? How sad, you will never get your ideal president in office, because you are weak, and the economic propositions (like the retarded $15 minimum wage idea) are pathetic. Get out of your mother's basement, cuck.

Haha.

So let's see here, one of these men has actually contributed to society and the other had/is caused/causing massive bloodshed, economic collapse and the degeneration of society. One of these men also are worshiped by a crowd of degenerates (furries, libshits, cucks like leftypol) while the other is looked up as inspiration to many prospering economists, like Trump (who is one of the most economically successful and intelligent candidates to ever run for office.

Sorry, try again faggot.

Are you a nigger by any chance? Also nice internet threats are you a14 year old nigger?

Having actually faced legal consequences before believe me a retard like you would be butt fucked in jail, and probably a jail run by a trump government would be twice the hellhole that jail already is.

Says the alt rightist, on fucking Holla Forums of all places. We are all basement dwellers here. Only im not, I just got back from the gym, I'm gonna do a little reading and then head out to meet my friends, I haven't seen them in 3 months because I got back from backpacking yesterday. Yup, I get back into a gym and education routine directly after I get back from my trip.

Not that I'm trying to boast or that I think dwelling in your moms basement is particularly wrong, just you are so incorrect it makes me laugh. I know right, your attempt at intimidation made me laugh, so I screen shotted it and sent it to a friend, who also laughed. Tough guy.

Oh and do you use the word cuck outside of message boards or are you too afraid of the consequences? Pussy.

Oh and the countries with the higher minimum wages have the highest standard of living on earth. That's a fact. Y'know even Henry ford, a facist captain of industry, supported paying his workers a lot because he knew it made them work better. A happy worker is a good worker. A healthy worker is a good worker. Now please stop memeing and please pick up one single book

can you even read english retard, there is nothing as impotent and pathetic as threatening violence over the internet faggot, this is the second time, shut the fuck up(unless you have dox nigger lmao then my ears prick up:^)

im basically defending you in some ways but yer such a snowflake you still get assmad, i take it back you are more of a loon than the anarchokiddie you were arguing with, almost insulting that you think you can answer me and him at the same time

its called the bill of rights you mong, some might argue they have already been undermined but thats probably not worth discussing with you.

what are you babbling about you monkey, nobody fucking cares what the mexican president said, stay point you adhd nigger

wew lad

nobody fucking said this you illiterate down syndrome melonhead, nobody even fucking said anything good about the old man, stop firing off fucking talking points, B████ was always an establishment cumrag as anyone that bothered to look at his senatorial voting record knew, he towed the party line 96%!! of the time, there are barely 30 votes where he differed from killary

lmao you pog ass nig you probably tried already and were rejected because of your empty autistic stare, the mils not so desperate anymore as they were in 04ish, USMC wont even fake yer fuckin GED anymore lel

Nothing you said had any value whatsoever, and mroe importantly it didnt address anyone, it wasnt a retort, it was just you autistically shouting into a room, while trying to flex your internet muscles.

trump is not going to deport all the muslims, its literally not possible. Hes not gonna the make the fucking wall 10 feet higher either, you looney tunes ass nigger.

Hes still the best choice, he probably will strengthen our borders, hes gonna start get in on dat anti ISIL US-RUS Coalition which ifs fucking great and long in coming, and he might actually make merka great again in some ways. most importantly he is the trash man, hes gonna take out the fucking trash, and this is the reason hes gonna get bipartisan support and win

you need to get your goofy tryhard shit under wraps or not go around supporting trump, the way you are acting will probably just confirm naive liberals in their beliefs about him

GET THIS MAN A COATand maybe some meds, but something light

save your buttfucking prison experiences for your real friends bruh:^) you may mean well but this is almost as sad as his posturing

just the facts maam, just the facts. Dont bring your personal shit up unless its directly relevant to an argument or topic, even then ye should be wary

Even Pinoshit threw Friedman out after him and his Chicago cronies ruined Chile's economy.

This triggers the Holla Forumsyp.

le-mao, seedman always puts a stupid grin on my face, such a bufoon

anybody see his fight v. shrek, aka cenk, aka the armenian genocider of babies?

good shit, like two chubby hairless monkeys flinging poo at each other

anyho i dont know what you are implying, that im a polack? that im triggered by you telling the internets how great your life is?

im not dude, its just stooping to his level imo, non-arguments

Absent a better place to put this: I've submitted an article for review at Bunkermag.

I'm not really fussy about the feature image, so if it's no good then feel free to find a better one. I'll check back here later on to see if anyone confirms they've seen it.

It was inspired by this thread:

communist doesn't work
the BO is a tumblrite sjw and stalin was a fascist

Someone's butt seems hurt.

Look I don't like communists but even I know that "political correctness" is a term used by elites to control the masses.

What better way to feed debt than by flooding the country with immigration?
I think immigrants should be offended that they're exploited.

I assume this looks like the right place to ask a question if I'm not a leftist (not Holla Forums either, I don't think either camp offers much to someone of a more haute bourgeoisie background). Ban me if you like, but I can't find anywhere yet that has given me an answer beyond "das raycist" and "they're right you know"

Someone from Holla Forums told me that diversity is bad because it creates a lower trust society when I expressed the sentiment that IQ means weren't the end all.

Is there any good argument against this? Its been bothering me for a week now.

either way I don't spend much time in very ethnic areas so I don't really have a ton of experience with a highly diverse environment removed from money

Yes, let's see. First there are stereotypes that exist because second there are material conditions than have force some populations to behave a certain way and they are all created because third capitalism creates inequalities.

Now, it would help if you made your question more clear…

What's the difference between Leftcoms and Trotskyites?

Leftcoms actually read theory.

Leftcoms are against this whole Bolshevik and vanguard nonsense

I'm interested in the subject of automated industries, which I keep seeing people bemoan as bad things.

I think these would appeal to both commies and libertarians because:

Additionally most of the arguments against automation I've seen boiled to two camps:

Conspiracy theories about the producers not being willing to sell such machines to common people - when in fact there is a market just for such things. Commercial machinery can be bought by common people even today, and I don't see this changing any time soon.

And the massive unemployment of people who lose their un- or low-skill jobs to machines. Which seems to presume that human beings cannot (or will not) learn new skills to get a job in other areas and/or apply the skills they have to produce things. Especially with the mass amounts of nearly-free education that comes with even dial-up or mobile internet access, I don't see how these people don't have access to learning more skills.

So why do I keep seeing both sides slamming automated production as a doom of society? Seen some people saying it would result in the need for total-nanny-state to take care of the unemployed masses (universal income, etc) while others said it would result in a massive uprising of workers. I don't think either of these would happen unless instigated through mass propaganda designed to break down individuals' awareness of their own ability and potential. (I shouldn't even need to get into as to why that's horrible.)

Mods, can we please ban the fucks shitting up the OC threads.

Not in the slightest. Only free as in beer.

Does Holla Forums have its own archive?
If so,where is it located?

m.youtube.com/watch?v=zgKazTrhXmI

Not sure if I'd get along on this board tbh. 4chan's Holla Forums is really trash, anything that isn't Trump fellating is shouted down almost immediately as shilling and 'degeneracy' is unironically used as catch-all term for "anything that makes me feel socially/sexually insecure"

I used to be a bit of a naive cringy teenage libertarian, but I'm old enough now to recognize that there are some places where 'free markets' fall down completely. I think one of the key issues for me moving away from that Rothbardian/Mises bullshit was their stance on environmental policy and the long-term sustainability of our species. Any ideology that would enable industry to acidify the oceans, destroy biodiversity, clearcut old-growth forests and generally render the planet uninhabitable for future generations is an ideology that is pure fucking cancer, IMO. Natural resources should be nationalized and used in a sustainable, efficient manner rather than squandered for a quick buck.

At the same time, I feel there is a place for mixed market economies, especially some consumer sectors like tech where I feel that less regulation and freer trade can improve standards of living for everyone. I'm certainly not a proponent of trickle-down economics, but I don't believe that economics is a zero sum game and the saying "a rising tide raises all boats" rings true to me in some senses. However, I'm somewhat sympathetic towards labour unions as I feel they're an important check on the power of the managerial/owner class.

Am I just a standard-issue west coast liberal? If nothing else, this board is a refreshing change of pace from having my brain melted by reading halfchan's Holla Forums every day.

Maybe your some kind of mutualist or some other market socialist?

You know you are turning into monkeys, right?

kill yourself

the goal of the graphic isn't to show that the soviet union was superior in an armamentistic way, but to show how the soviet union was forced to develop nuclear warheads to face the violent american reactionaries, in spite of the common knowledge that they developed atomic bombs just because they were evil.

Why cant I join the IRC anymore?

We had to draw the line somewhere

Ok, so why the fuck is Prickly_Cactus still a mod? He brags about how he misuses moderator powers to ban people he disagree with personally, and now he has threatened to do it again.

Fuck sake Holla Forums, this board is filled with trolls and Holla Forumstards, yet instead you ban those few who actively tries to post something resembling meaningful and theoretical thinking?

Have some measure of self-respect.

Really?

Would there be brands in socialism? Right now I'm looking at my phone that has a manufacturer name on the back of it. Would this exist in a socialist world? Or would all, say, smartphones be manufactured by the same group of people allocated to do that job?

Can't get my head around the day-to-day workings of socialistan.

Yeah im fuckin sick of this shit!
I think we should just get our own website!

Isnt this open source software or something? anyone care to set it up?
Maybe go back to 4chan? or reddit?
This place sucks!!!

What does lefty pol think of neets?

Anyone else having trouble joining #leftypol on Rizon? I can connect to Rizon just fine; it just won't let me access #leftypol.

Finally I figured out that the IRC was invite-only using another fucking client. The retarded Rizon webclient doesn't tell you if its invite-only; it just says that you failed to join. What's the point of having a link to the IRC in the FAQ if it's invite only anyway?

This OP needs fixed. Thanks to a fellow comrade, I figured out that the correct IRC channel is #bunkerchan. I dunno if #leftypol is for admins or w/e, but it should be removed from this post and replaced with the correct channel.

#leftypol was eventually swarmed with polyps and gradually died as the main users from there migrated to #bunkerchan, which was actually moderated

Oh, so it's shit.

Hello, Grouchoflaggot.
I feel like when this post was made it wasn't invite-only. You could probably ask for an invite in this thread but it'd just be a circlejerk of immense proportions anyway, so what would the point be?
Whatever, at least there's the Steam. Someone should make a Discord.

Oh, OK. Never mind.

Newfag here, why does leftypol hate the irish?

Pretty much every problem in Western society can be traced back to the Hibernian conspiracy. Filthy micks like William 🍀🍀🍀McChesney🍀🍀🍀 managed to integrate themselves into the power structures of the US to the point where basically nobody noticed them anymore, yet you'll see them running media corporations, banks (including the Fed), big companies, and they all happen to be of Irish descent. Hmmmm. It sounds crazy but you don't need to do a lot of digging to realize how widespread it is and how far its reach is.

Many multinational companies also use subsidiaries in 🍀🍀🍀Dublin🍀🍀🍀 to dodge taxes.

It's just a parody of Holla Forums's paranoia about Jews… or is it?

🍀🍀🍀You🍀🍀🍀

Hate the Irish? No, we just like to point out the disproportionate amount of people of Irish descent in control of the media. Funny coincidence, right? haha

we still need a pflp and ira flag

Why do you defend a the ruthless concept of Communism? It cost over 100.000.000 lives worldwide and never worked! Food was rationed in every communist country and their leader killed their own people! How can you defend such a shit concept?

Yugoslavia was a thing you know

Ah, Yugoslavia. Shunned by the communist world throughout its (communist) existence (disregarding the remnant that existed in name only to 2003), subject to long lasting economic uncertainty and high unemployment rates as a result of the above, in addition to mutual distrust regarding the West, hyperinflation the likes Germany in 1922 would be stunned by, IMF debt, failed labor programs, and managing to even underperform the Eastern European countries in terms of GDP per capita throughout its entire existence (though being shunned by the Eastern Bloc might've had something to do with that), needing to import food past 1970 despite 30% of its population employed in agriculture … Do I even need to go on? It was nothing more than a front for Tito. It was shit while Tito was alive, and it went to the dogs after he died, collapsing under the weight of its own ethnic tension.

werty

Wow. 1/14 countries was not a complete failure! It still split and a lot of lives where lost!

COMMUNISM IS A LIE, IT WILL KILL YOU

there are 195 countries in the world, only a small group of them are not total shit

pls end urself cuck

...

I like hyper-consumerism because it allows those with abilities previously adapted to basic agriculture to feel satisfied without realising their lack of usefulness in the post industrial world, where food is many times more efficient to produce.
Also I'm fascist because I don't think of others as equals (I like to make judgements in my head) and I don't know any other power-hungry political party that may be able to institutionalize open-source infrastructure as to reduce the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions. Can I stay because I love the pretty animals, Holla Forums?

very nice autism fam

Sunday at the Men’s Day program hosted at Union Temple Baptist Church in Washington, DC, Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan said to President Barack Obama, “Your people are suffering and dying in the streets,” of Chicago, so “you failed to do what should have been done.”

Farrakhan continued by saying it is time to let Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump do “what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy.”

Farrakhan said, “So you Democrats, you been in their party a long time. Answer me, what did you get? You got a president. He is worried about his legacy. You want Hillary to get in to protect your legacy because Trump said the minute he gets in, he is going to reverse the Affordable Care Act. Because that is your signature achievement. To show you how hateful the enemy is, he hates that you achieve what you did achieve. So he said I’m going to tear it up when I get in. So he don’t want his legacy destroyed. Mr President, let the man do, if he get in, what he wants to because he is not destroying your legacy. If your legacy is bound up in an Affordable Care Act that only effects a few million people and they are trying to make it really difficult for those of us who signed up, that’s not your legacy.

He continued, “But I just want to tell you, Mr President, you’re from Chicago and so am I. I go out in the streets with the people. I visited the worst neighborhoods. I talked to the gangs. And while I was out there talking to them they said ‘You know, Farrakhan, the president ain’t never come. Could you get him to come and look after us?’ There’s your legacy, Mr. President, it’s in the streets with your suffering people, Mr. President. And If you can’t go and see about them, then don’t worry about your legacy. Cause the white people that you served so well, they’ll preserve your legacy. The hell they will. But you didn’t earn your legacy with us. We put you there. You fought for the rights of gay people. You fought for the rights of this people and that people. You fight for Israel. Your people are suffering and dying in the streets! That’s where you legacy is. Now you failed to do what should have been done.”

When is censorship and surveillance ever a good thing?

It's called being an autistic tankie.

Not a tankie, but thinking that there won't be some form of repressive apparatus is just naivety imo.

Here's my modest proposal for a Hegel flag

And here's the Žižek flag

here another zizek flag

That is a great idea, thank you. I do feel the design for both needs some work.

Any chance for a KPD flag? German LeftComs are a good bit different from Italian LeftComs.

something like this?

I'm genuinely curious about this, could you elaborate on these differences?

That looks fantastic, though maybe you can make the hammer and sickle more pronounced. Maybe darken it and the star. Thanks, comrade.

German/Dutch LeftComs were essentially Council Communists, and Italian LeftComs are the Bordigists you tend to see here. This discussion on Left Communism should probably be on its own thread, though. The page for them on the Marxist Internet Archive explains it pretty well. I suggest you read the Wikipedia page as well.
marxists.org/subject/left-wing/index.htm

Here's the thread:

Thoughts on 'Basic Income'?
I for one find it to be a step in the right direction in a time where automation is soon to shut out jobs and lower the already stagnant wages of then-existing jobs due to large-scale displacement.

Why are the majority of the subreddits of Reddit involving the 'lefty side' so angry about 'brocialists' or 'manarchists' and generally point fingers to here and some fucking Facebook pages?
t. bored Holla Forumsirgin

They're mad because we choose to be more than anti-racist, more than feminist.

Because Holla Forums emphasizes the importance of material-based class while lefty subreddits equalize it with being womun/trans/black/whatever stupid shit they come up with. Just look at pic related if you want to understand why do we shit on them.

Because the "lefty" leddit pages have been infiltrated by government agencies agents with the objective of neutralizing any leftist threat by transforming every "lefty" organization into controlled opposition and a joke.

Stop posting that shitty cap as "proof" of being Anti-SJW or whatever your edginess inclines you to do. Marx did not advocate for the removal of Woodhull because of her feminist or even minority pandering sentiments, and you would know this if you had better understanding of the history behind the international and if you had actually read Marx.

Fuck off back to reddit, COINTELPRO.

Don't you have some funny pictures to post on fullcommunism for that sweet karma?

That's not an argument. Seriously, Marx already wrote about Woodhull and doesn't need your input.

We already wrote about SJWs, reddit and an arguments, we don't need your input either, FOUR EYES!

I'm not a Holla Forums user, but I'm seriously curious where all the new users are coming from. I've noticed this board has shot up a fair bit in the boards index over the last few months, it's at #4 now.
I haven't really looked around on the board and I'm not really sure what it's about, but I'm guessing your similar to Holla Forums strictly in the sense that most of your users didn't come during the first exodus.

Dissatisfaction with what calls itself "left" in the US, sometimes it can be a worldview-shattering experience, occasionally even to the point of being an existential crisis proper, but for the most it's making everybody abandon ship. You can thank Clinton and her sponsors for that.

The question is: where do you go from that?

In their quest for answers and people who could have them, some turn to religion, others to the alt-right, others still to leftists.

I should know because my journey went through all of those, the more I read, the closer I came to Holla Forums.

Holla Forums was founded long before jewt fucked with 4/pol/, but it got big shortly after that period, since the increase of stormfags meant that left-wing discussion on Holla Forums became almost impossible. Thus, it became the biggest left-wing imageboard community, attracting people not only from Holla Forums, but also cuckchan and a myriad of smaller imageboards.
Many non-chan lefties also come here because a) moderation is lazy as shit, so you won't get banned for having a dissenting opinion b) this place has certain unusual views in comparison with other left-wing hangouts, notably dislike towards identity politics of any kind, attracting people with similar views..

Ah, so my suspicious are confirmed. Most people here didn't come around during the first exodus (that name is a bit of a misnomer, there were others before that, but it was the first big one).
You see, what you're talking about happened in December of 2014, while the first major exodus happened several months beforehand when mass bannings occurred on halfchan's Holla Forums over the whole GamerGate controversy. The Holla Forums on Holla Forums has technically been around longer than either Holla Forums or Holla Forums.

Communist must overtake the United States before anywhere else. The capitalist of the United States incessantly ruin leftist countries.

tbh I came here to 8ch via the /civ/ board and server, before re-remembering how autistic mineycrafta was
this was just barely a month or so before the 2014 mass emigration

Obviously.
stats.4ch.net/Holla Forums/displaytable.php?file=leftypol#year2016
It was founded on September, so we can actually count it as a first exodus board, but I've already said what factors contributed to its increase.

Judging from all the plebbit talk in the American Politics thread and all the newfags who expose their inability to cross-thread/board link lately, I'm guessing a huge amount come from r/politics.

That, and the fact they act as if they had something to gain by nourishing to the worst and weakest of trolls.

Don't mind me, just czeching em

Can we get a Rosa Luxemburg head flag?

Hey I am not from Holla Forums but used to browse /new/.

I am looking for resources/information on leftist stuff. I have checked this sticky to see if there's anything in here, and there really isn't fuck all.

I highly recommend you use 8ch.net's board pages feature and then create links in the board announcement and you put up an FAQ and so in there, just like on >>>/fringe/

I want to learn what I can from leftism and take from it everything of value for my own political enlightenment while discarding the rest.

No, sorry. You'll just have to remember the best you can.

A KPD flag would be cool too.

I got banned from Holla Forums for literally just disagreeing with them.

What is the ban time? It said that the ban doesn't expire but I can't believe that.

Identity politics at work. Are you surprised a fascist board has nazi mods?

That means three months IIRC. Permanent bans on Holla Forums aren't permanent.

How come nobody uses the Rizon chat here anymore? I was thinking, it would be a great place to talk tactics without Holla Forums over-hearing. With some proper organization, we can win the meme war.

There are plenty of people in the Rizon channel, and Holla Forumsacks (not annoying at all, though), too

We do. Everyone is on bunkerchans IRC :^)

How far left is this board? Is it open to those of us who are not quite socialist/anarchist but lean left nonetheless?

Hey BO

Okay what is the Rizon channel? As it says in the OP?

#bunkerchan on Rizon

Very far left. As long as you're not trying to censor people, you're probably fine, but expect to be insulted and thrown ad hominems at. I mean, we allow autistic Nazis to post in here (even though they're not part of our community), so…

It's an imageboard, of course there will be insUlts and ad hominem, that's part of the format.

What did she mean by this?

Why does this board love saging so much?

Many of us are oldies who know sage isn't inherently negative but merely a tool to not move a thread to the top.

Could someone explain the bourgeoisie to me? I understand that they're the 1% and horde all of the resources, but don't people eventually reach a point where even money alone can't satisfy their current or future desires? Are they bad or good? What's some testable evidence or things that make their actions questionable? My questions are really general, but I don't know where to really start as I just know the bourgeoise as rich people that can control the means of production.

Right now I'm struggling to comprehend whether the bourgeoise are a plague to society or whether they have the potential to help society.

Well, probably, but the idea here is that we don't criticize capitalism due to the bourgeoise being bad people or anything, unlike Holla Forums our criticism does not end at the individual, we aim to advance the transition of capitalism to whatever economic system follows, prefferable a socialist/anarchist one, different theorists have different ideas on how to get there

simply "being rich" doesn't necessarily means you are bourgeoise, as a poor champagne socialists and a roich champagne socialists have no revolutionary potential, despite their wealth inequalities

the bourgeoise the, is more of a idea, an entity which seeks to mantain the current economic order, even if he is just another cog of the machine, as in the case of petty bourgies

basically all the criticism towards the capitalism mode of production, you migth agree with central planners or you might agree with stalinism, there is no unique theory

well yeah, but perhaps if a bourgy understand dialetical he might be able to help the revolutionary

The bourgeoisie are not only the 1%. You have the bourgeoisie, 1% to Fortune 500 and down, and then you have the petty or petit (small) bourgeoisie, who own small enterprises and often work alongside their hired labor. You also have landlords and bankers – truly the scum of the earth – who, while not exploiting labor, extract revenue from things like interest and rent. In general, landlords own physical property while banks deal in finance, both necessary components to the functioning of capitalism. Landlords and bankers, while distasteful in the extreme, are not the main problem.

The bourgeoisie are exploiters and expropriators who can only maintain their position by the existence of their opposite: the proletariat – the working class – who produce all value in society. In this sense, they're bad. Not evil – usually – but definitely a drag and a drain on humanity. Also, you misunderstand: they don't "horde" for the sake of their ego, though some would take pleasure in it, they do it because of how capitalism functions. Capitalism's reason for being is profit-making, capital accumulation, and it facilitates this very well; not much else, though.

The bourgeoisie exist to increase world capital by pursuing profit. So how is that questionable? For one, it's not that they can control the means of production, it's that they do so at all; in fact, the bourgeoisie control so much property that they operate an effective monopoly on the means of production. Workers' cooperatives and single owner-operator businesses aside, it's impossible for the proletariat to become both the majority class and own the majority of productive property. This is nothing less than a minority dictatorship. The bourgeoisie dictate what is produced, where, how, and for what purpose (profit); they overwhelmingly dictate government policy via lobbying, private donations, and sheer corruption; and they keep their position in society via lawful repression and ideological manipulation.

As for testable evidence, there's plenty. Prominent Marxian economists have analyzed the current economic malaise as being rooted in the tendency of the rate of profit to fall. This is one of the famous contradictions of capitalism. Perhaps the ultimate contradiction. But that's outside the scope of this answer. Have a read below if you're curious.

Is a revolution not a rotation of 360 degrees, so you are back where you started?

wow… will leftypol ever recover…?

Why is the entire site bleeding users? End of US elections?

Possibly. Let's hope Holla Forums will also lose some retards in the process

holidays

I wonder if anyone around here would be interested in a Leftypol Board Reading Club™ of sorts. I think that it would be great if we could actually raise the amount of people who actually know anything about leftism here.

I was thinking maybe Wage Labor and Capital or maybe Value, Price, and Profit?

I don't think that a lot of people read these things on their own because they think that the information in there has already been covered through leftypol shitposting, which it hasn't.

Would actually like an answer to this myself.

I would personally say that yes, there would be. If one group of people don't appreciate the way that the current big organization of people who makes things does it, then they can create their own organization to make the same thing differently.

An example would be a publishing organization who just doesn't give a proper binding to their books, or doesn't appreciate design enough. A new organization could do the same exact thing they do, just under a different brand, with better binding and better design.

Now that I think about it, the rise of crowd funding in the past century or so could give insight into this. The reason they need the funding at all is so that they can support themselves while they work on projects of passion as well as to raise money to gain the production ability and resources needed to complete the project. With socialist economics in place, it should take care of at least part of that already and people putting support behind a project allowing it to be put into consideration for public supply.

I suppose the trouble area would be determining how to balance resources between redundant suppliers (say if one group was making a new apple (technological equivalent) phone while the other was making a new samsung (technological equivalent) phone (note that these groups would likely not be the same companies but simply groups given a resource allowance to produce the items in demand with those specifications))

We would also have to consider if the older group's product is worth producing anymore and if the new object should be discontinued to save resources or allowed to continue production due to there still being a demand.

ESSR fag here.
Was communist for a while, Trump changed my view, now a part of me wants to come back into this again.
I might need some facts that will help me get into that ideology again.

What exactly did Trump change in your worldview that made you a non-gommie?

Going to admit, I had to pick a side since everyone was at each other's necks.
I was brainwashed by the media, add some Alex Jones to that mix and there you go, a standard Americuck.

Forgot all the reasons about this and/pol/ wasn't make it better at all. I just want a ideology that we can all work for something and be proud of it. And to make it worse, not giving retards more money then people who are struggling middle wage.

.t Autistic sperglord

I'm pretty sure the ideal of bringing a communist society is definitely counts under that.
"To each according to his contribution" falls under that, doesn't it?

Yeah.
Jesus I was blinded by the dark truth of it.
Also the reason why I said about the retard, is that they put no effort into nothing and paid paid like 500 a fucking week

I guess we agree. So what exactly holds you back from becoming a pinko at the moment? You said
But what kind of facts are you talking about?

How Capitalism fails in many ways or something like that.
I just keep getting the simple it never works replies..

From the economic perspective? The most basic argument is that extraction of surplus value causes cyclical breakdowns like the one in 2008, since workers do not receive the full pay from what they create and therefore are not able to afford shit that gets produced on the market. The natural trend of capitalism is driving the wages down to ensure the maximum profitability for the capitalists, which also explains why jobs are shipped overseas and why has economic immigration to first world countries become so massive.
I'm sure we could get more depending what interests you.

Excellent point there.

Is there some particular critique of current economy or society you want to hear?

Well equal pay.
That really is on my mind now.
I just don't like when people have more then others.

Point three is the one that might interest you.

Whadayaknow?
I may be home.

But you guys arent Holla Forums.

Just a pale, insiginificant shadow of a speck of Holla Forums. Why do leftists always copy us?

Holla Forums is fucking trash now. they failed to man the gates. so fucking retarded there right now, and .net/pol/ is an insane asylum
I fucking loathe Democrats, left the Rs in 2007 because bailouts, loath Demorcats so much, but already like the discussion here better.

Leave your posting habits at the door.

This board still aims at a moving target for posting quality. It will not be your hug|box 2.0

board quality*

...

No it does not. Holla Forums is a torture chamber, but for rightists. In fact, I was banned not long ago for "defending Jews". They are literally banning you for disagreeing with their world view. I was not insulting, not rude, and was clear I was there with the intention to learn about their views.

Holla Forums is a hug box, a safe space, an echo chamber, a hivemind or whatever else you want to call it. Is Holla Forums the same? I don't know, I've never been banned from here, nor do I hear stories of people being banned simply for espousing their view.

Holla Forums has become an echo chamber for bluepilled faggots. It's compromised. That's why all the aut rightists are going here.

complete newfag here.
Can anyone explain to me how do i get one of those pretty flags?

faggot new-speak child*

Maybe not the best thread to ask this in, but I didn't want to make a new one.

I am having trouble understanding why authoritarian leftists only physically target right wing "fascists". I'm not saying it is or isn't okay to assault people, that is not what I am getting at. If capitalism and the bourgeoisie are to blame for exploiting people and making their lives hell then why not target them? I never hear of lefties physically assaulting bankers, CEOs, and investors, it's always fascists with a small following of people who nobody takes seriously or it's people who are non-fascist right wingers.

Why?

Nazis are always an acceptable target, and since they're generally ignorant lumpens, nobody with power really gives a shit if you beat on them. There's a lot of ignorant children who turn to antifa only because it lets them feel like they're making a difference and will somehow inspire revolution through their acts of violence.

If they went after bankers or CEOs the security apparatus of the state would just outright crush them, but I suspect a lot of them don't really want to face facts and admit to their complete powerlessness in the face of capitalism yet to decline.

Mind you, I understand antifa as a form of self-defense when facsist goons and hooligans target left-wing activists & politicians, but beyond that it's the revolutionary equivalent of jacking off in your room.

ANTI-FA only target fascists because the capitalists fear them more than they do communists. Most communist organisations are controlled opposition and ANTI-FA is made up of low testosterone cowards who are only there to feel good by beating up people. The even fail to do that if they don't outnumber fascists 30 to 1 and that might not even turn out well for them. See that Golden Dawn MP who held his own against ANTI-FA who tried to murder him.

Red this and still do not know what is Holla Forums

why are shitposting threads bumplocked and not deleted? rangeban those fags and erase their filth

Relatively new to being someone who actively discusses their political views. I find myself agreeing with a lot of the ideas on this board but I've yet to truly identify what I should "identify" as. Hoping you guys can help me out here.

Many small local governments (let's call them counties since I imagine them to be only a little bigger than the average US county which can vary in size and can be extremely small or big depending on population density but obviously only the fraction of the size of a state) elect reps for a series of technical branches (2 per "county" per branch). The branches cover "Logistics", "defense", "education" and "Law management". Each candidate is elected based on party representation using the "STV" process. youtu.be/l8XOZJkozfI

Counties are run by regularly elected officials, 3 for each branch on the local level which are interviewed publicly on their background and technical qualifications. All elected officials locally are reelected (or not, depending on the citizens) each year using "STV" again

Logistics handles resource production, land managment, resource distribution, and currency exchange.

Defense covered military training doctrine, placement of armed forces and installations, international intelligence, and handles military specific RnD.

Education handles public education and civilian research ranging from official civil projects to requisitioning research space and materials for independent studies.

Law management handles law making, law enforcement (including both catching and trial) as well as correctional measures to counter illegal acts.

Public area cameras, police cameras (vehicular and personal), but active monitoring of personal homes is illegal without consent or county order. Internet surveillance is an issue I don't have fleshed out yet but generally, if it's publicly available then it's all good, if it requires you to access a system without permission from the owner then fuck off without a court order.

Necessary for allowing fair exchange of excess materials and tracking those who contribute to society and those who don't but is ultimately just a management tool and no amount of money is worth compromising the sustainability of the nation. Interest does not exist on a county level and is only allowed on loans to foreign entities at a federal bank level and is handled on a case by case basis to ensure it will not cause issues within the nation. It may be paid back using materials in demand within the nation as actual resources we can use are always priority over money. All excess state resources are priced to manage and limit inflation.

Age, race, sex, place of origin and other things that are not in your control should not deny you human rights, jobs, or other advantages if you can still perform the required tasks for them in an objectively better way. Since there are no tasks required for things like basic human rights as defined by the law management council, it's kind of a default that you get them…

Beliefs and belief systems should only be only protected in this manner if they do not actively encourage or require you to discriminate against other discrimination protections or actively encourage or require you to physically harm or act with explicit intent to harm another person or to explicitly cause suffering to any living thing. (better figure out which parts you're going to keep in that holy book of yours because violent, bigoted zealots need to gtfo.)

Self defense is a basic human right. This extends to most types of weapons designed to instantly stop an attacker. That said, once the attacker is stopped, you need to stop and get a short distance away before waiting for attempting to contact law enforcement. Further use of a weapon on a noncombatant is illegal, however justifiable you might find it to be at the time.

Citizens should also attend basic training for a brief period of time to learn basic discipline, fitness, and self defense including with firearms as a part of their public education.

If you have any more questions I didnt cover, let me know.

we use the Holla Forums discord

I'LL SAY IT AGAIN: DISCORD IS PROPRIETARY AND THAT IS ULTRAPORKY

too bad there is no leftypol irc anymore.

Other places were already taken by collectivists.

yep that's a Holla Forumsack alright, nothing to see here

Aren't you special

They're at least going to team-up after the obligatory first meeting fight.

I suppose this is a pretty basic politic question but from my understanding, Right wing is kind of pro "elite leading the many" and left wing is pro "everyone decides for themselves" or am I looking at the stances wrong. It's hard to get a good read because people seem to use "left" and "right" to describe so many different aspects of government and the words themselves don't seem to offer context clues. (like social in socialism or commune in communism)

that dichotomy is a false one, the dichotomy between the left and the right is the dichotomy of idealism vs materialism

es.scribd.com/document/308584781/Elementary-Principles-of-Philosophy-by-Georges-Politzer

link because can't find .pdf

So, then the left is based on idealism and the right on materialism? Those don't seem like mutually exclusive things but perhaps that is rooted in my perceived definition of the two.

For example, my thoughts of what materialism is that it is a way of thinking putting physical gains and loses as the way of defining success and my thoughts of what idealism is that it is a way of thinking that seeks to prevent undue suffering and being everyone to a state of mutual morality and fairness.

So by that logic, I could declare myself a far… centerist(?)… by supporting strictly policies that made sure everyone had at least enough resources to not suffer with a little extra reward for those who contribute to society more as would be "morally fair" so I would be a "material idealist". Sounds a bit like socialism in it's base form to me as materialism defines the measure of success and the idealism defines how that success should be distributed.

Beyond that, this ebook link looks like Scientologist propaganda using Marxism as a lead in and then going off into meta physics and eventually dialectics which I've only heard shady as fuck things about from anyone who isn't a Scientologist shill and even then it sounds like typical brainwashing and hypnosis.

I'm impressed that despite being handed a very easy source you've still managed to get everything wrong.

Questions

It's the season of consumerism and it's getting to me. Especially where I live. It's almost like a cancerous thought that's been installed into everyone's psyche.
Would communism destroy this capitalist notion?
I assume it would. People may value spending time with family and enjoying their work rather than chasing material objects.
I'm also interested in learning how a communist views the united nations, and whether they find the group valuable.

Thanks in advance

Yes, in all probability. Christmas as a concept would be reduced to a few traditions carried on by those who wish to keep them alive.

It's a relic, the result of two world wars and the Cold War. It remains because it helps, to a degree, the five permanent members of the security council manage their antagonisms. It also serves to legitimize whatever bullshit they're up to, though as we've seen with the US and Russia, for example, they really don't give a shit. It's nice to have but it's not going to stop them otherwise. Everyone outside the security council better watch their step. That's the UN in a nutshell.

simply epic

Posting in parts because fuck codemonkey

Traditionally social conservatism and economic liberalism has been identified with the right, social and economic liberalism with the centre and lastly, anti-capitalism and social liberalism with the left. The placement of newer ideologies with different positions than those above has been usually based on the similarity or at least affinity with these traditional positions.
And so, social democracy usually stands for centre-left, as they are more left than centrist liberals, but they opt for capitalism with welfare rather than getting rid of capitalism, which means they cannot be strictly classified as the left. They can be also tolerated by both centre and left, which is another argument for such placement.
Christian democrats are sightly less conservative and even get some regulatory("left-wing" for the sake of simplicity) economic policies, additionally they are bearable for both trad right and trad centre, which is why they are classified as centre-right.

This division starts fucking up when you get heavily conservative people who prefer heavily regulated capitalism or even socialism, with most famous example being fascists. Nevertheless, they are still usually seen as right(and far right in case of fascism) merely because they share greatest affinity with regular right-wingers despite not being economically liberal. Even so, they are full-blown nationalist socialist ideologies like National Bolshevism or Asserism who without a doubt are nigh-impossible to place on the conventional spectrum.
Similarly lolberts and ancaps are also hard to place, since they have strong opinions and other configurations have been already taken. They are without a doubt "radical", but far-centre sounds silly and far-right is already taken by groups with almost completely different policies(statism, anti-liberalism, anti-individualism).

thanks for this

so not guarding against internationalism is somehow pro-worker?

I belong to an international union. People look at me like I'm insane when I point out that foreign workers drive down our wages.

Then those foreign workers should unionize to demand higher wages

I'm new to chans and am still lurking but would you guys recommend a proxy while posting?

And a few questions about socialism.

1) How would healthcare work? Specifically, if I take care to be healthy and active my entire life while someone else does not, is there any benefit of needing less healthcare? Say they need several heart surgeries as early as 30 and continual treatment/surgeries while I don't need any.

I understand "to each according to their needs" but what if the needs of one are significantly higher than the needs of another?

2) If I develop a really useful software in my free time, what do I do with that software? Do I turn it over to be distributed among the workers? Is there any reward for developing such a software?

3) How are luxuries handled in communism? Say I want an in-ground pool in my yard. How do I get it?

I understand that I could not get my in-ground pool unless the needs of others were fulfilled first. But if the needs are fulfilled, how would luxury be distributed?

In a communist society, most people would be workers therefore the actual time needed for work from the individual would be lowered. Say 3 day work weeks. What is there to do on the other 4 days of the week if there are no luxury items? No pools to swim in and so on.

Do you think that your variant of socialism can work today without any modifications in a globalized world? What books show the way to build a socialism for the 21st century?

The whole point of my variant of Socialism is that it had to be modified to existing circumstances, not applied willy-nilly.

That's not how any of this works

why are so many lefties prone to infighting? Holla Forums and Holla Forums can majority cconcentrate into their own autistic hivemind of whats considered proper opinion, but why not here?

Believe the word here is torture chamber, without different opinions in a group that's what a group becomes. Thing with Holla Forums is at one time going back to the days of 4chan before moot got cucked it was not filled with just one mindset but over time the board was consumed and anyone that didn't agree with this main mindset was automatically just called a "kike/JIDF".

And the case with Holla Forums as far as I remember it's been like that a while but I rarely browse Holla Forums.

Can you please ban all those shitty Holla Forums tier bait threads? I get this is a SAFE SPACE for all kinds of Holla Forums but when they leave their shit everywhere it gets kind of annoying. Or at least contain all the Trump protest posts in one megathread. This is what happens if you don't - it's either a Holla Forums trickster or even worse a regular who fell for Holla Forums LARPing yesterday.

could do with a french election cyclical tbh

kek thats a good one

the basic ethical question is what is to be done, and this only matters when we have agency.

And that's why I'm not a liberal.

FUCKING LIBRUHS!!!

How can people here unironically pretend that liberalism, Obama and Hillary are worse than Trump even though Trump is the definition of rich CEO who will abuse his place for profit directly and might even move towards fascism with his "only trust me guys" attitude and the fact there are people who unironically do trust him and believe him.
The media might be lying and influenced but he is way worse with his lies

I guess some of the reasoning is that he won't put much effort into hiding what a scumbag he is, whereas Obama and Hillary does it constantly and even pretty well at times. Also, and related to the first point: he's easy to hate and it's easy to point out the shit he does. TL;DR: He is Darth Sidious, Hillary and Obama are Senator Palpatine (two facets of the same characters, if you don't get the reference, where Trump is obvious evil while Obama and Hillary are the two-faced schemers).

Also, there's the accelerationist perspective.

But many people outright celebrate or support him which makes people think this is just as bad as Holla Forums, like i could understand that you feel good about him ruining shit for the right image wise but there is a difference between saying "i am happy this terrible person is in charge because it will cause x" and "trump is great, leftypol loves trump" which is what you get anytime says something bad for Trump as if we were on fucking Holla Forums who suck his dick daily.

Also that is still a risk to a degree, lets just hope he doesnt fuck shit up too much that it wont be able to be saved

I honestly don't share that impression of leftypol. Maybe the defense we see here of Trump is because of the hypocritical outrage, and you see kneejerk reactions to that?

There is a risk, and I don't think anyone has a good estimation of how big that risk is. Still, I guess that even though he is likely the worst choice when human suffering is concerned he has an element of unpredictability which the others lacked. They were an already opened present and everyone could see it was shit, while Trump is still a wrapped present that just reeks.

IDK, I'm just speculating here. I'm not American and would have voted blank if I was.

You also have to remember that like 1/3 of the users on this board come from Holla Forums.

Trump's plan is simple, and it is far worse than hillary or Obama because you morons dont even see it now.

-Spam autistic tweets and do retarded things causing the media and the world to spend all their day talking about you and nothing else
-Do some things you promised like the TPP to look like you are doing shit to your supporters since you dont lost profit from it(mainly it was big tech companies, pharmaceutics industry etc who used that, and Trump isnt big on that)
The russia cocksucking could either be because of point A but because he so desperately defends Putin it means he must have some big profit behind it and that is why he wants to remove sunctions
-And now that everyone is busy, most of the people with your autism and most of your retarded supporters with "lol he is doing it" use your totally qualified and not corrupt billionaire cabinet to fuck things up for your personal profit and the profit of the rich people who support you. But unlike Obama and Hillary that wont be seen because he is hiding behid the 1st and 2nd layer of autism.

As if that wasnt enough Trump is a fascist, simple as that
He is using the anti media and anti establishment anger as a way to consolidate his power by telling how everyone is lying and he is the only Trust worthy person
He is obsessed over military and even said he wants to "parade" in coincidentally 2 cities that voted overwhelmingly against him
He is appealing to nationalistic emotion more than any other candidate, he wants the worthless poorfags to feel "good" and "pride" for voting for him and being American which is A grade fascism and capitalism since who cares if you are poor and have nothing, you should feel better cuz your emotions

So it looks far less worse than it isnt and that is his plan, both Obama and Hillary wouldnt have done anything like this

Liberal shills getting more unhinged by the day.

I think most users here know Trump is porkiest face of capitalism so far.

idk. Trump supporters on this board are the exception, imho…
But, Trump supporters happen to be a very vocal bunch of folk though, in general… I dont quite believe there are many as trump supporters on this board so much as there are just some very outspoken Trump supporters on this board.

Holla Forums does have its own special brand of autism which is hard to resist

Voting blank is the only true American vote on ballots without Ron Paul's name on them.

I think this might be the cause, along with

Dunno if I should make a thread for this or post here but here goes: can we please have something in the FAQ saying we are pro-gun? It might reduce the number of 'how do you expect worker revolution if your liberal candidates keep disarming the workers lol chexmoot, loftypool in spermicide wash lel triggered lel XD' threads we keep having. They don't produce good debates or OC or really much of anything else, just 3d6 responses of 'we're not liberal and we're against disarmament' per thread. Seems like a lot of wasted effort to me.

I read few books on the subjects and it's so messy and misty, pretty much the only reason I found is that some human descriptions of natural processes appear to work slightly dialectically

I torrented that big Marxism torrent, it's like a 1GB of books about marx. But stil

big marxism torrent?

also this. Why do "people" on reddit keep using this word? The way I understand Marx(could be wrong) it's all about economics right? So isnt the only right way of doing things is to focus just on economics? All these little "oppressions" are absolutely dwarfed by the economic oppression.
All these little inequalities such as racial or gender inequality absolutely pale in comparison to the economic inequality. So essentially they shouldn't be taken seriously because if you do take them seriously and "fix" them, all you did is waste time and resources on stupid shit that would have been fixed once you fixed the big problem.

I see it as a way to splinter the leftist movement into million these subgroups that you can pit against each other. If marx came back to life and saw Emma Watson calling herself a leftist because she's oppressed by being a woman because she gets 9$ million from speaking into the camera when her male co-star gets 10$ million, I think at that point marx would just shoot himself in the head and go back to sleep

Thanks! I appreciate it.

The whole brocialism/identity politics thread is a tangled one. My understanding is that it partially evolved out of Maoist-Third Worldism, which if I understand it right is the theory that the developed Western world lacks revolutionary potential due to the cushy lifestyle provided by capitalism, and intersectionality, which is a method of analyzing "vectors of oppression," you know, that a Bangladeshi woman faces different sorts of oppression from her society than a Zulu male living in the Bronx, etc.

They've both been kind of divorced from their Marxist roots and almost entirely co-opted by bourgeois Liberals into a vulgar sort of racialism/genderism (if that's a word). White people are inherently bad because they've benefited from Capitalism more than others, while everyone else is unironically lumped into the "People of Color" group. It should be obvious how ridiculous this is for a number of reasons.

So yeah, you're right in that economics/class is or should be the dominant issue, but this tends to be dismissed as "class essentialism" or more vulgarly "brocialism." "Because white men have it so well they only have to worry about their class/bank accounts/whatever." Again, the irony of using a gendered pejorative seems completely lost on them.

That isn't necessarily to say either that issues affecting particular groups are unimportant or should be ignored. What matters are the nature of the oppression they're facing and what their manner of dealing with it is. Much of identity politics now deals with integrating discrete identities more fully into bourgeois society, such as the effort for "gay marriage," or the summer before last iirc when there were all those demonstrations at bourgeois Ivy League schools complaining about bathroom graffiti and wanting more black/female deans/department chairs/etc. The class struggle isn't materially affected by the color of the person sitting in the throne, you know? More black professors at Harvard and Yale isn't going to do anything to end black poverty or diminish incarceration. More female executives won't do anything to end the exploitation of the millions of working females those executives employ. Through the magic of identity politics however these things don't matter, because the problem isn't capitalism or bourgeois society, it's evil white men.

While well meaning, the majority of these people are the epitome of Useful Idiots. Like you said, the logic of identity politics atomizes people into essentially infinite numbers of groups based on the similarity or dissimilarity of lived experience. Aside from lived experience being ultimately reactionary in nature, if you follow it to its logical conclusion then these groups disintegrate as the boundary between one and another is completely arbitrary. The lived experiences of every individual are going to be necessarily different, so how far do you take it? Identity works fine as a cultural shorthand for groups of people that possess certain similarities, but treating it like an objective fact is absolutely nonsensical. As you wheedle through every possible difference, you pare a group down into increasingly smaller and increasingly ineffective segments.

Identity politics have many bourgeois uses, most of which involve obfuscating the historical sources of oppression as well as their contemporary realities, but this post is already rather long.

I mean outside Bernie Sandals, when was the last time you heard someone on the left mention workers or money?

The real political issues according to the modern leftist movement are gay cakes, tranny bathrooms and black criminals being shot for attacking black police. It's mind blowing really…

No, it's no really all that mind blowing that bourgeois movements are portrayed as revolutionary, especially when their whole point is to actively distract people from actual revolutionary politics.

Is there any way to contact BO-san through some more private way like email?
