Machiavellian Communist

@arctotherium42 @willsolfiac This is an incorrect reading. Engels wanted to abolish the bourgeois family—the cartel—rather than the nuclear family structure. He wanted to abolish the inheritance and property structure that allowed corporate families (like the Waltons today, for example) to exist.

@willsolfiac You could conceptualize it that way, but you would be very wrong - Engels himself wanted to abolish the family, and the early USSR as well as kibbutzes both pioneered doing so.

I'm reading Engels' Condition of the Working Class in England, and it's remarkable how socially conservative he is. - He thinks Irish immigration to English industrial towns drives down wages and degrades the economic and moral condition of the native workers - He is concerned about how factory work inverts traditional gender roles, in that there are more jobs available for women and children than men - He identifies how women working in factories leads to neglect of their children - He identifies how young men and women working together in factories leads to sexual immorality - He notes how English factory workers are almost entirely irreligious and never go to church. It made me think that you could conceptualise socialism as it existed up until the 1970s or so as basically a socially conservative movement to preserve traditional family life in the face of capitalism. E.g. the demand for a male 'family wage' that a husband could support a whole family on.

@DavidKrae You forgot to add the gigachad

@RedPill_Marxism Communists don't have conversations -- they speak propaganda.

@miltonappl3 What do think of the Geneva Bible? It was the version quoted by Shakespeare in his works. And the KJV was created—atleast partly—in response to it.

It's important to read Shakespeare as if in every utterance he means the opposite. If you do so on faith, you'll often find the facts perfectly undergirding this assumption elsewhere. Why? Is he a psycho nihilist? It can't be ruled out, but the likelihood diminishes intensely after studying the question for a while. First, it's a vestige of the Chiasmus, his favorite rhetorical device at the Air and Fire level of his texts, in other words in a way, the organizational level. It's an attempt to transcend the dialectic of the Waters from the Waters. In other words, a way to beat philosophy with philosophy, or philosophy undoing itself. It's not the Air transcending the Waters, that's sacrilegious. More on that in a minute. Secondly, the Chiasmus is favored by ancient scribes and even the Bible when attempting something along the lines of library sciences. You don't call a librarian a schizo nihilist if she walks you past both "the audacity of hope" and "the art of the deal." Ok she's definitely a schizo nihilist, bad example. Thirdly, I contend that the King James Bible was the Jamesian project meant to relay the Air and Fire, and the best scribes in world history came together for it. They couldn't make another Bible for the sacrilege, so they tag teamed a folio--of a startlingly similar size to the KJV, by the way, the folio is exactly one play shorter-- of Earth and Water to undergird the KJV and complete the Grecian Global System (Globe Theater? anyone?). The Earth and Water layer of this Greek cosmology is all about appearances vs reality and the dialectical negation (both-sidedness) of every topic. This is precisely Shakespeare's obsession. Or is it Shakespeare? Or is his personality a product of chiastic library sciences and the Earth Water axioms? Well anyways, I'm having a very fun time.

@DouglasSpaeder Go full Zizek and roll all four options into one

What type of content do you want to see from me?

@underdejahvu @zulways @Waycross84 Israel, obviously, you dumb fucking broad. Get ready to deal with the fact that all of the heads of Marxism-Leninism upheld the American Revolution as based and good and progressive for reasons you’re too stupid to begin to fathom.

@zulways @Waycross84 paid by whom? the “founding fathers” owned people and raped them so yeah

No they werent and no they couldnt. You are an idealist retard who is arguing vibes now and ignoring the realities of 18th Century Planter Virginia. Leave me alone, interacting with retards like you too much is detrimental to my health.

@Jb51014 @zulways Then you’re a stupid bitch. Mao wanted to make Washington an honorary member of the Communist Party.

@zulways ive never read gerald horne in my life, this is just basic deductions from reading marx and lenin and my knowledge of US history

No it wasnt stop reading Gerald Horne and declaring him Gospell

@underdejahvu @zulways Have you tried not being a f@g

@zulways “1776 was a people’s war” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 😭😭😭😭😭😭

This person isnt a tankie. This person is a moralist.

It's time for the world to admit it. Karl Marx was right about everything.

>all socialist states so far have been dictatorships

@MechaOrvo Dih bih tuh

I’m opening a kool aid pineapple factory as an ACP business

@HarrierMagnus They were correct. We have Homer, and it only proved the medievals right. And we in the modern world will naturally agree with Virgil, because Dante and his legacy exceeds them all.

It's fascinating how Western Europe losing access to Homer for almost a thousand years shaped Medieval perceptions of the Trojan War. As late as the English Renaissance, the Trojans were regarded as the clearly heroic faction, simply because Europeans had Virgil, but not Homer.

@mcmansionhell “For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” -Matt. 16:25-26

what's super humiliating is that the old ways of "finding oneself" such as spirituality, art, philosophy, meditation, psychoanalysis, etc still work really well. and yet we dig in the garbage of pop-psych like dogs

@miltonappl3 Sit in the shade of a plant you didn’t grow, and then get mad at God when it dies. Be a man.

Great similitude to the infantile nature of social gatherings. A real man sits in a desert alone under the shade of a single plant.

@nikostrov @GagarinGorilla For your country and for mine, there is no post-revolution period. So why root around in sex and sex theories? It is pointless and serves reaction.

@CommonCommunion @GagarinGorilla komünist hareket; batılılar tarafından pasifize edildi ve evet, dediklerin doğru, büyük bir acımasızlık gerekiyor ancak konuştuğumuz konu devrim sonrasını ele alıyor.

Wonder why you dont allow comments. Coward

@nikostrov @GagarinGorilla And in the 21st century, the lumpen are larger than ever: bankers, service workers, content creators, vagrants, and all sorts of criminals. Now is the time for ruthlessness. The Communist movement has been led astray by this degeneracy for too long. No more.

@CommonCommunion @GagarinGorilla “lümpenlerin” çıkarlarını değil, onların “lümpen” olmamalarını ve toplumda kolektif bir yerleri olması gerektiğini savunuyoruz. anlaşılır bir durum. proletarya, onları ortadan mı kaldıracak yoksa toplumdan mı dışlayacak? 21. yüzyılda yaşıyoruz. lenin’in politikalarını bilmelisin.

@nikostrov @GagarinGorilla “But what about, what about, what about…” So? Am I supposed to advocate for the interests of the lumpen and the rest of the dregs? No. I ruthlessly support the interests of the actual proletariat. Their dictatorship will abolish prostitution and a thousand other social evils.

@CommonCommunion @GagarinGorilla her yıl binlerce LGBT bireyi; geçimini sağlayabilmek için ücretli sex yapmak zorunda kalıyor ve toplumdan ötekileştirilerek yozlaşmış bir sistemin içine dahil ediliyor. onları dışlayarak neyi elde edebilirsin? kapitalizm, kendi çıkarlarına yarayan bu durumu elbette destekler.

@nikostrov @GagarinGorilla In short, stop being a f@g.

@nikostrov @GagarinGorilla By centering these reactionary and irrelevant identities to the proletarian struggle, you do the imperialist bidding.
