I think Google's search engine is declining due to SEO botfarm garbage. After websites started figuring out how to manipulate Google search more, the accuracy of searches has gone way down, especially in the past 2-3 years.
Calling Marxism a science like physics not only fails to understand the way Wissenschaft was being used, but also does a disservice to Marxism as a hermeneutics of suspicion. Its positive moment is nothing like science because it does not believe itself to be sufficient
The revolutionary is in the contradictory position of service. They are simultaneously the "doomed man," a nameless face tied only to the revolution for the masses, and the lover, who is tethered to the revolution by the masses. They are above attachment and detachment.
@levthotsky
Cultural relativism has been a bane in the objective analysis, and subsequent critique, of culture. It is a bourgeois epistemology unable to account for change in culture by the volition of its constituents
@donaldp1917
What does language abolitionism even mean? Also, calling language restrictive is just untrue when language is productive and regularly changes lmao

The author of the Idaho bill banning medical intervention for trans youth said this:
“The ability to procreate is a fundamental right that must be protected for these children"
They are pretty naked about it. It's very unnerving.
@primarycatdad
He hands over the phone. The prosecutor is stricken dead, as if by god. The judge immediately rules in favor of the defense. The jury erupts in uproarious laughter and clapping, appalled by the pure basedness. Communism wins again, liberal.
@KieHirako9700
I would say it's a cold take among anyone who actually organizes and desires favorable conditions to do so. Hastening the rate that we hurl towards fascism isn't productive, it's reactionary.
It's very cool that society has collectively decided to kill people like me due to a minor inconvenience for them. I am never going to have a normal life again because people want their "normalcy" back
This account is pro...
• Marx
• Freud
• brutal, unending oppression of all reactionaries
• immediate, severe rationing of energy resources
• 26 consecutive cultural revolutions
• televised mass destruction of Funko pops
• gay sex
@primarycatdad
What people say is often reflective of their class position and general propensity for revolution. They give themselves away in statements like these
The task of the revolutionary is to liberate the proletariat, to sublate all existing relations; it is the job of upheaving the whole of society. It is an impossible task of the mind dragged into the possible by the will. They are above pessimism and optimism
@dialecticious
Their concept of communism is based in bourgeois instrumentalism and ignores subjectivity entirely. It's an eternal defense of "building the productive forces" because they refuse to examine the way production and exchange have been conditioned
If you're cis and find the current transition "joke" floating around funny, you're transphobic. Our experiences are not yours to make humor out of. Our experiences are not yours to trivialize.
@RedPrecariat
As am I. It seems that many are forgetting that even if no economic or military retaliation is to occur, quantitative shifts have. Without close observation, we are blind to anything but the qualitative. This has definitely changed the timeline for reunification.
@becomingidea
And if your materialism cannot account for the ideal or subjectivity beyond regarding them as unscientific or irrelevant, it's just another fetishistic ideology
It is really depressing to see how dogmatic and right opportunistic a lot of western ML currents are. Stop clinging to decrepit organizations and stop beating down genuine criticism with the words of dead men. You are alienating what little potential base we have, you sycophants.
@PunjabiMarxist
From what I've seen, it's mostly the same as Maoism i.e. primarily concerned with anti-revisionism. Unlike Maoism, I have seen literally zero organizations or work centered around the tendency.
The lie of /tttt/ style cynicism is that it has more fidelity to reality than its antimony, hugbox cheuginess. In actuality most trans people are looking at you confusedly and ashamedly because you do phrenology in place of realizing you look fine
@primarycatdad
One of the most important aspects of Marxist psychology and disability politics has to be the acknowledgement that mental illnesses are only defined as such because they are seen as negatives from the perspective of capitalist profitability
The continual question of whether or not communism is love or a hammer is settled. The revolutionary is composed of both, yet transcends them. The revolutionary is all things to all people. They are pragmatic and romantic, survivor and martyr, soldier and philosopher.
we need to take the phrases “media literacy” and “anti-intellectualism” away from you all until you learn how to use them correctly. shorty made an “I” statement about how she personally consumes film and here y’all go
@uranianmenace
Worth talking about its depictions as a source of mockery, like in Glee, which has the added layer of the actress actually being a lesbian
Design a party:
Name: Party of American Communists America (ML)
Ideology:
Revisionism
Reformism
Settlerism
Transphobia
Racism
Motto: "Baristas need not apply!"
(timeline where Mao learned English from a passing Kentucky gentleman) mistah kissinger I have heard much talk of yuh firm opposition, shall we say, to Soviet social-imperialism and whatnot,
@primarycatdad
It's fucking horrendous, but at the end of the day you're just one guy standing against a system that readily devours decades. It's not your fault
@heshidicjudaism
It's falsely acting like polyamory isn't constrained by the exact same material base and social relations that gave rise to monogamy! We should point to Cuba as an actual rupture
@PunjabiMarxist
I don't know any MLs who uphold the Khrushchevite elements of the USSR. Most MLs acknowledge the faults of the USSR that stretch back to its formation and praise it in spite of them. There's not some clear point at which the USSR became "revisionist." Bad diagram
"Oh, well not the people who sell weed, just the people who sell x worse drug". You are moralizing. Please talk to a drug addict! Just once! You are alienating our fucking allies because you'd rather be a reactionary than try to genuinely end the harms of capitalism
The concept of gun control in the abstract does not get to the fact that guns are already unevenly distributed. As we have seen, gun control laws primarily target the marginalized and leave loopholes for settler men who can afford to make use of them.
I wish it were possible to have genuine community with other transfems, but it's a category so divided by transmisogyny, class, race, disability, weight, beauty, and neurosis that it's fucking impossible
These gender ideologists are getting to me. First they turned me from a man to a woman, then from a woman to nonbinary, and now they're turning me into a maoist
