Marxist Observations

@EYEBROWSAFK @AntonioTweets2 It’s a dialectic. You can’t have a community without individuals, and therefore, you can’t have individuals without community.

Different branding, same totalitarian core: the individual is nothing, the collective is everything. Fascism said it. Nazism enforced it with even greater brutality. Different banners, same anti-liberal core: the individual is subordinate to the collective, politics overrides civil society, and the State becomes the instrument of salvation. No, they weren’t literally the same ideology. But they all shared the anti-liberal premise that the individual must be subordinated to a collective mission enforced by political power.

Just a reminder 🇨🇦👇

@KG6783 @Heccles94 All wages are exploitation, since the full value of labor is not payed. If a worker earned 100% of the value they produced, a capitalist could not profit. Some places pay more than others, doesn’t change the fact that all wage labor is exploitation.

@MarxistObs @Heccles94 I assume that you consider a job at WalMart to be exploitation. Explain how WalMart offering to pay someone more than they can make anywhere else or more than they can make on their own is exploiting them? Because the person's labor isn't worth as much as you assume it should be?

Capitalism is slavery

@TWilsonOttawa Capitalism was established by forcing peasants into wage labor in the cities.

@HMBohemond Saying the quiet part out loud lol

You can tell this is bullshit because it lists a notable British leftist and an unironic communist as "right wing."

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt The lack of direct democracy is one key aspect that allows to you identify a worker state as being a degenerated worker state. This doesn’t mean I don’t support the Russian and Chinese revolutions, I do and I also support the progress they made with their systems.

@MarxistObs @aleksthgrt then you can't call the CCCP or any other states "socialist" because they lacked direct democracy

Kursk has always been a graveyard for Nazis.🇷🇺⚔️💯

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt Moreover, 60% of China’s GDP is private capitalist enterprise….

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt Economic planning has nothing to do with socialism. Monopolies do central planning all the time. Socialism is about the democratic control over such plans. As of right now, there is no direct democracy in the state owned enterprises….

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt Apart from that I can’t know for sure how the bottom of Chinese society is organized, I can’t only infer based on international trends

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt The rise of international communist movements and class struggle, like the struggle for Palestine and orgs like the RCI. These are forces that China has to contend with. If it gets in the way, it will affirm a spot as reactionary and face backlash when crisis hits western capital

Unpopular Opinion: X has actually become a right wing echo chamber. Between US paid shills and foreigners pretending to care about right wing politics, I almost never see left wing opinions anymore.

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt There is, part of it is from state demonstrated by hardliners, but most is brewing beneath the surface, internationally.

@MarxistObs @aleksthgrt there is no "struggle" to reestablish socialism in china

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt This is not a knock on the CCP as much as an acknowledgment that once you let capitalism free, it has a mind of its own. The struggle now for China is reestablishing socialism.

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt China is investing in other countries, which is not Philanthropy, it is the export of capital. The export of capital is a significant attribute of capitalism “rising” into imperialism. China hasn’t shown the same aggression as the USA because it is still a rising imperial state.

@gascoenterprise @aleksthgrt Thoughts on what about China?

@MarxistObs @aleksthgrt quick litmus test, thoughts on china?
