>>17917>we don'tEveryday there is some faggot telling us we need to "build the productive forces" and repeat the Bible quote about "thou shall not work, shall not eat" here. That's why communists are so fucking useless, you just want to be better managers of capital than capitalists and nothing else. Even fucking Stalin envisioned a 5-hour work day by the mid 20th-century, and here we have morons like Leninhat (Phil Greaves) who say "you will work at gunpoint because communism is when le ebin workers do epic shit dude lmao", and you all silently agree. You are fucking useless, that's why most NEETs think you are a joke, and nobody cares about anything you have to say. Keep discussing some obscure historical trivia and geopolitics as if you had any real weight on the matter, maybe Lenin will ressurect from his mausoleum one day, keep praying.

>>17914Is it that difficult to comprehend how come many nihilistic consoomers, who are often lumpen-petty-bourgeois, just sufficiently financially endowed to be able to go become hikkiNEETs, or prone to the fetishization of Japanese imperialism and the encouragement of misogyny, aren't very receptive to communist ideologies?
>>17919Yes indeed, and, like, basically every explicitly socialist state had historically the obligation to work for all who are able written into their constitutions.
Also, Marx himself remarked similarly that, to paraphrase, the aim of Communist society is to make it such that to labor is considered nigh sacred. Labor, that power to transform the world, is a special, perhaps divine, gift of humanity and should be celebrated and joyful under Communism. It shouldn't have to be work that is all drudgery, obviously. But even the gradual extension of humanity's time for leisure, as one goal that Communists have supported, is ultimately for the sake of the replacement of the domination of the burdensome necessary labor, which is what toil is necessary work for merely human survival, with the primacy of labor that is done for the sake of fulfillment for each and every, the realization of the felicitous and blessed destiny of humanity and the realization of justice and salvation; as Communists, for our goals' sake the productive forces, yes, must be developed, so that the burdens of necessity are no more the yokes which upon the masses cruelly weigh.

>>10550"Social Credit", contrary to the hysteria and slander, is largely about business regulation. The claims of sinister social psyops or social manipulation are yet once more the projection of Western societies. The irony is that now, as the system is under genuine trouble, policies of liberal governments outright clamp down on the counter-liberal and counterhegemonic positions more harshly and skillfully than their opponents, despite all the talk of openness.

An issue that rarely gets talked about in relation to /jp/ is Toyoko Kids. It seems to be a replacement for Delinquent and Sukeban subculture (
>>7655 ), although much less flashy and 'cool' looking. I think it's a reflection of Japan's repressive capitalism that seeks to hide everything that appears bad while refusing to fix endemic issues.

>>23957>Several things mark out the Toyoko Kids as being different to the homeless people who have historically occupied the area. For one, they’re much younger. And secondly, contrary to popular belief, they’re not all homeless — while some are, others who are from Tokyo, Chiba or Saitama prefectures go back home after staying in the area for a long time to escape their home environment.>>Then there is the fashion: For girls, there is the “dark kawaii” aesthetic of frilly blouses and short skirts or oversized hoodies with anime-style makeup, and for boys an emo-influenced look of black, baggy clothes with dangling chains. The overall style has been dubbed “jirai-kei” (literally “landmine type”).>>Toyoko Kids have also become influencers and fashion icons on TikTok, X and other social media platforms, further drawing neglected youths to the area — for example, those being abused at home or bullied at school. Hierarchies partially linked to social media clout exist within the community, with individuals given titles like “God,” “King” and “Empress” depending on their popularity and influence in the area.Wait,
that's where jirai-kei allegedly (hadn't bothered to research yet) comes from???
Also:
>“Someone will offer them a place to stay, with one person booking a single bedroom[…] and smuggling around six people in one room,[…]But[…], they would eventually have to pay for their share too and so they have to go ‘work’ — as in street prostitution.”Yooo what the fuck? And society is okay with this?!?
That's like the-real-shit sort of lumpenproletarian activity, not merely delinquent/sukeban behavior, which is much more petty with its orientation and is fairly tempered in the actual level of "criminal" activity involved.
