The term "leftcom" is meaningless in the modern day. There is no left faction of the comintern because there is no comintern, and with all other currents/parties capitulating to bourgeois tendencies, there's nothing to be left of. Just call yourself a communist if you're serious.
Leftists, please stop pretending that gangs are dual-power structures. None of you actually know how gangs operate. My father and uncle were both Rollin 60s members, and I can tell you, from the fucking inside, that the gangs are just interested in neighborhood domination.
"Queer people are existentially compelled towards revolution" might be the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard.
Sexual/gender minority status has never and will never constitute revolutionary agency.
Nothing organizes you scum like attacking the accurate suggestion that queer people are existentially compelled toward revolution. Nobody is saying Republicans *don't* pose a threat for queer people. She's saying that Democrats *ALSO* pose a threat to them.
Cooperation between the globe’s civilizations is vital for bringing growth, & thereby for ending poverty.
Our monopoly capitalist rulers want to keep the world’s peoples & nations divided. We must throw off their imperialist dictatorship so can get to history’s next stage!
@catgirl_beckett
Imagine a federal socialist democracy.
Some areas will lean toward market socialism, others communal planning, others central planning.
These all require shadow prices (or a similar mechanism) to function efficiently -- so they can interchange goods.
What's the problem?
Financial domination over the drug/arms trade in the neighborhood and organizational domination over the rest of the community. Gangs will never be an ally to working people. Please shut the fuck up.
The most annoying shit that people do on here is defer to these vague abstractions they ascribe negative connotations to to hide that they can't articulate any substantial criticism of a position
"Bordigism"
"Damenism"
"Bonpartism"
"Hitlerite"
Shut the fuck up, please
yeah tough shit and all but "after what fortnite trotsky said to me i genuinely wanted to kill myself" is one of the funniest things i've ever read holy shit
The funny thing about most self-professed "Bordigists" is that they religiously adhere to the idea of a highly centralized and bureaucratic DotP as a necessary form. They are, ironically, no different from your average councilist when it etching arbitrary forms into dogmas.
Teenagers will convert to Catholicism after getting groomed into it by the internet then post shit like this
And "the battles" always consist of shit like nofap lmao
Liberals are still trying to understand Andrew Tate's popularity. The fact is that excessive luxury, immunity to law, and a harem of shallow, plastic women, which you treat like the rest of your disposable property, are relatively normal bourgeois aspirations.
Nu liberals are utterly fucking incapable of dealing critiques which irk them without painting those putting forward the critiques as morally wrong.
Look at how this one immediately jumps to racialize criticism of religion.
When white people start talking about “reality” in their critiques of religion it’s a sign for me to bail. Some of our lifeworlds consist of metaphysical realities beyond the material and it doesn’t make us any less committed to materialism or anti-capitalism.
This side of Twitter is absolutely overcrowded with future intelligentsia that it makes it impossible to do so much as relate to them.
I'm a high school drop out with nothing but a GED and a lifetime of work ahead of me. I'd prefer community with people in similar situations-
You're just describing systemic issues that could be overcome by bourgeois fractionalism, not anything that requires revolutionary activity to undo, like the condition of proletarian life itself. Once again, you have no clue lol.
Got me there! I guess they'd have to like, privatize healthcare to make gender affirming care unaffordable to 99% of trans people, or systematically isolate LGBT people from economic opportunities, or allow a small clique of media capitalists to standardize homophobic canards.
You refuse to engage with the material of Chicano nationhood, historically constituted in a common land, language, culture, and economic life. You refuse to reconcile that Chicanos are an oppressed nation who face brutal occupation tactics from LASD gangs and deserve our support.
And before someone jumps down my throat over this: this isn't a condemnation of members. You come from where you come from and you gotta do what you gotta do, but the project of the whole gang unit is control.
I'm receiving word that after the failure of their discord server the ICP will be starting a rap group in order to disseminate revolutionary propaganda to the masses (they're also posting flyers in every trailer park in America to clarify they aren't the Insane Clown Posse)
@Platonotov
@WhiteMaoTseTung
I like how they invoke Islamophobia solely for the sake of scoring more brownie points.
White conservative Christians in America are worthy of the utmost scorn, but the Muslims throwing homosexuals off of buildings in the middle east get a pass because...because they just do!
It's also a term that lumps me in with dumb fucking councilists and people who unironically call themselves "Bordigists" so I would also just rather not
I miss when people would post pictures of the creases on the spines of their copies of Capital/various other works.
Like, damn, you read all that and you're still fucking retarded?
If all you're gonna do is point out that there are, for the time being, certain policies which negatively effect select LGBT individuals (not even the whole of them), then I see no reason to continue wasting my time. You don't know what revolutionary agency is.
That still doesn't constitute revolutionary agency lmao. No intrinsic element of bourgeois society would compel LGBT individuals towards anti-capitalist revolution. You're living in a fantasy.
Donald's grooming victims don't even understand the dead tendencies that they spend so much time whinging about.
The "leftcom" support of natlib has fuck all to do with "hurting empires." It's a necessary step in the development of a bourgeois nation.
To speak on the commonly stated leftcom idea that M&E only supported certain nationalisms because of its means of hurting empires (semi-correct) they also supported them because they understood that colonialism needs to be fought to allow socialism to thrive within the colonized.
The funny thing about most self-professed "Bordigists" is that they religiously adhere to the idea of a highly centralized and bureaucratic DotP as a necessary form. They are, ironically, no different from your average councilist when it etching arbitrary forms into dogmas.
Didn't ruin it, just enabled people to be even more insufferable. For someone who was on fuckin leftypol back in the day you'd have been around long enough to realize "the online left" is inherently worthless.
DSAoids just list off every niche radical leftist tendency that exists within their org when you call them a middle class org.
Newsflash: "trotskyism," "leninism," and any other -ism you can pull out of your ass, is just another bourgeois tendency.
I've voiced that I find it funny that people who adhere to very strict language hygiene could fancy themselves as violent revolutionaries several times, and every now and then I get met with the retort that "these things have nothing to do with each other." That's a load of shit.
Leftists on this platform think the class composition of a movement determines the class-character of its program. Couldn't distinguish between a genuine proletarian movement and one with support from proles with middle class aspirations if they wanted to.
Same guy who tried telling me that homosexuals are "existentially compelled towards revolution."
Apparently he's existentially compelled towards profiting off outsourced sweatshop labor as a PB lol
It really speaks to how impotent leftists are when instead of treating the flagrant anti-Semitism of the Houthi movement as a shortcoming that ought to be challenged they resolve to apologia
Imagine sitting in a room with a bunch of dimwitted, asocial, petit-bourgeois careerists and voyeurs, doing absolute nothing but drudging up one dead corpse after another to shortsightedly make a new proletarian hero out of. Imagine thinking this is the essence of communism.
@AAPD57596
people who still believe in propaganda of the deed are wild lol
bro thinks chopping off a Tory's head is gonna spontaneously organize the proletariat into a radicalized mass and incite a revolution
over being tied to a bunch of wannabe intellectuals who fawn over the nobility their perceive in the working class condition, having more interest in the proletariat as a fetish object rather than a revolutionary agent in desperate need of association.
You can’t and won’t meaningfully be a good leftist/communist/anarchist if you are fatphobic and refuse to seriously analyze fatphobia as a systemic axis of oppression
"The revolution isn't coming! Hate to break it to you!"
Leftists will tell you shit like this to justify their reformism without realizing that it only affirms that objectively revolutionary situations don't exist when the subjective element, the party, lacks development.
Settlers are extremely well armed, they have the backing of the state, they are the leading edge of the knife carving out Palestinian territory for Israel, they regularly attack and abuse Palestinians, and the very existence of the settlers is a war crime under international law.
Communism will abolish the concept of "beauty" and of being sexually desirable. This does not mean porn or sex will go away - all manner of societies, from the most primitive communitarian ones to the most advanced survelliance states have tried that, and they all failed. But...
People get shot over $25 dice games and this dude is upset about a guy getting whacked after walking in a store and pointing a loaded firearm at multiple people's heads
I don't know why it's so hard for some people to understand that the immediate interest of someone with enough money to sustain a cozy middle class existence is to either prolong that existence or go beyond it by following big bourgeois aspirations
Everyone saying how stupid this is but I think the more student leftists who throw their lives away behind symbolic support the better. Maybe they'll struggle enough in life to learn something.
To let y’all know, I was kicked out because today was my graduation. When I walked the stage, I held up my keffiyeh with “ALL EYES ON RAFAH CEASEFIRE NOW” painted in red on it. (I have no pics) My mom was so furious and immediately left.
My diploma was also withheld. 1/?
Also
"Some of our lifeworlds consist of metaphysical realities beyond the material"
Usually when people claim to be in communication with other worldly forces, they're thrown into psych wards, but when religiloids do it, you're supposed to be respectful of their delusions lol.
I remember when leftists used to at least put effort into cherry-picking quotes from M&E to support their agendas; now they just quote shit that outright contradicts their beliefs and expect you to be stupid enough to read their agenda into the text for them.
The conspiracy of the "leftcoms" who aren't actually leftcoms being one guy with a bunch of alts is finally back
We did it Reddit. We drove the libs mad again.
The moral grandstanding going on rn gets even sillier when you consider the fact that "critical support" for Palestinian nationalism just amounts to tweeting positive things about that side of the war, and condemning those who refuse to.
eternally trapped as a normal person caught between the left wing sex weirdo who wears every other pathology on their sleeve and the also left wing borderline-puirtan who thinks sex needs to be banned
Granted, those types might not even be as annoying as the people who *do* think objectively revolutionary situations exist in spite of a lack of a politically-mature proletariat. All the communizer and councilist dullards who think the Floyd protests could've snowballed 🙄
@lenivine
@Platonotov
"I'm ackshually NOT terminally online because I only use Twitter as much as this guy probably uses Discord"
In what world does this line of argument not just continue to make someone look like a delusional loser?
types of "leftcoms" you'll see on Twitter
- antagonistic guy who thinks he's an r/leftcommunism mod from 2018
- anime-obsessed teenager who really needs to fuck off and join their high school band already
- ICT guy who is occasionally insightful but still retweets anarcho-garbage
I've seen several people on Twitter with "TSSI" in their bio and it has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. Kliman is a modernizer on par with Richard Wolff. That such flagrant defanging goes unnoticed by his internet disciples just speaks to their middle class nature.
It's still funny to me that the Cosmonaut shitters praise that trust fund kid who got locked up for damaging a piece of random government property and subsequently compared himself to Martin Luther King Jr lmao
You could start an entire farms thread with this and the amount of stuff that was left out.
When Athenion was a minor, he openly voiced desires to be groomed by a "mommy GF." That's what proximity to Mickey does to your poor middle-class burnout children.
Middle-class Twitter users deny the revolutionary potential of *insert proletariat of "oppressor" nation here* because a large section of the class supports policies that they find morally wrong; more at 6.
An oil engineer would accrue a reserve that would enable them to keep themselves afloat if our of work, reinvest a portion of their income, acquire a home, etc. They're "weal and woe" doesn't hinge solely on their ability to sell their labor power.
Fun Mass Death Facts:
Stalin ruled for 29 years. His security services intentionally killed about 2.9 million people.
Hitler ruled for 12 years. His security services intentionally killed 11.4 to 20.3 million people. Under Generalplan Ost, he *planned* to kill 40 million more.
You've deluded yourself into thinking that empathy and civility are universally reciprocated, that such notions don't wane at the earliest convenience. Some people really should fuck off and die. Some people really are retarded. It is wrong not to acknowledge this.
@AAPD57596
The constant deference to the party center on this subreddit illustrates the point you're making better than anything else could. They treat it like the magic fucking conch whenever a basic question fries every neuron in their body, preventing them from thinking for themselves.
I always wonder what white people who tweet shit like this are trying to prove. It's like they assume that all minorities hate whites deep down and are trying to signal to them that they're the different, good white.
I blame this attitude on the great distance between your average western leftist and active combat zones. You can't convince me that someone who takes great offense to the wrong words could carry on after witnessing dead bodies, riddled with bullets and/or dismembered by bombs.
@SulFilo49
I think it's very unfortunate that a man who seemed to genuinely want to see an end to imperialist violence (impotent as his actions and ideals might have been) will have his legacy reduced to one act and serve as a symbol for the cheerleaders of the war to latch onto.
At some point meme communism will become so strong that we end up with a "leftcom" Ayn Rand who makes their own version of Atlas Shrugged where some Indian teenager spends 100 whole pages ranting to the world commisars about the commodity-form at the end
On a site full of deranged schizoid ideologues, sexual predators, rape apologists, grifters, religious intriguers, petit-bourgeois socialists, etc, if you demand that all these cretins be treated with courtesy, you're simply naive.
imagine a guy pointing across the street and saying "hmm yes look at all the black bodies out here today mmhmm yes"
like didn't the guy who used to own the Clippers get axed from the NBA for saying something like that 10 years ago
I utterly fucking detest decency. You're a fucking asshole if you're one to invoke "ruthless criticism" and then bite your tongue when someone you're amiable or even friendly with says something flagrantly wrong. You're delusional if you think everyone ought to be respected.
The public schools told children they could be whatever they wanted to be and then the children grew up to log onto Twitter dot com and call themselves "patriotic Marxists"
Porn ruined my life. It took a long time to undo expectations. I’ve had genuine convos with people who have been addicted to it and it literally rots your brain. Seeing porn at 12 was one of the worst things that happened to me. End porn.
The most annoying thing about the "everyone's a commie til they get their first paycheck" cliche is that the liberals who invoke it think they're revealing something that anyone worth their salt doesn't already know about the nature of most middle-class "communists."
A child could tell you that there's a world of difference between an offshore drilling engineer who makes $125k+ a year and a single mother working at McDonald's who forgoes eating to feed her children and would be out on the street should she be unemployed for too long.
Doing the former would still even be as simple as tweeting out the criticism, just as they only tweet out their support for the cause to begin with, but they can't even be bothered to do that. An iota of criticism is too much separation between them and the noble savages.
If the Chicano nation was really a thing, the best thing one could do for working Latin-Americans would be aiding them in the organization of the movement which frees them from it.
malnourished Walmart employee crawling on his hands and knees back to his government housing project in his crime-infeated neighborhood: is this all there is to life? won't anyone save me???
Twinkie RAC 🥞 on Twitter: PR0N will NOT exist under soshalizm 😏
Once again: interacting with a Trot has brought out the most crude form of "Marxist" I've seen on Twitter in a long time. I mean, are these the "future revolutionaries" that the IMT is creating? People who can't even distinguish between proles and middle class professionals?
You know someone is pathetic when they have one tweet that "does numbers" and they proceed to pin it to their profile as some badge of honor.
"Look at me! Look at all the people who clicked like on my tweet! Am I cool yet?"
