https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68526972is materialism a crude form of idealism?
marx's metaphysics have always struck me as fairly contrived. he's extremely adamant that he's not an idealist, that he's reaching towards the 'truth' of what matter is like, and yet he seems to ignore totally that his interpretation of dialectical materialism is a transcendental model and therefore a cognitive rendition of material. AKA he has to use idealism to represent his view of materialism. I don't really think this is evidence that his views on economics are wrong, but why doesn't he simply say he's 'applying dialectics to the forces of production' instead of pretending to have unmediated knowledge of material reality? materialism indeed seems to be just a crude form of idealism and history is really seeking the truth and freedom of self-consciousnessCommunist critique of Buddhism

Why don't we, as socialists, give up on trying to achieve communism?

the manufacturing processes whereby whole foods are converted into junk foods is not a "value added" process like most manufacturing processes. This processing actually destroys nutrients and renders the food less healthy. Therefore it is a "value subtracted" process and the labor used to process these foods into junk food has negative value. It is only the cultural superstructure of respecting junk food and finding it to be subjectively "tasty" that allows this to happen. The creation of junk food destroys the use value of nutrition during manufacturing, and yet the bourgeois corporations charge a higher price for the junk food than its constituent whole foods. Aside from cigarettes and alcohol, I can think of no other area in the economy that functions this way.On the Militia Question
Not trying to be an enlightened centrist here, but it has always seemed odd to me how people on the right and left fetishize the concept of a militia taking down a conventional army, when reality has shown the opposite result every time, I come from a shitty third world nation that is barely held together most of the time, and my country has experienced numerous rebellions by Islamists, ethnic nationalists, and communists, and every time they have failed. This is because a "well-armed and well-funded militia" is no match for a well-armed, better-trained army with superior logistics and structure. Of course, in the event of a total collapse, a militia could potentially become the only proper authority for a region or if faced with an entirely incompetent and corrupt army. However, in most cases, a real army always prevails over militias. I don't know how people fell for this meme really, Eve Marx bought into this up and advocated for workers' militias, which ultimately proved to be a massive waste of time and loss of life for everyone involved, the Spanish Republicans insisted on using them in the Spanish civil war and they were a massive hinderance that lost way too many battles, and thoughts of forming an actual army was "Stalinism" and a betrayal of the revolution.Palestine vs The Zionist Entity #77: Not a Trap an Ambush Edition

From what I can tell, they've actually fixed many of their cringe tendencies after the 2004 merger. I know Mao didn't like them and criticized Majumdar for the "China's president is our president" line, but he is long dead and Ganapathy isn't really a Chinaboo. They have actually defended marginalized communities from landlord militias and fascists. And given the horrible conditions of minority communities in India and many neighbouring countries who got caught off guard is, is it really a bad thing that they picked up arms?

If your political ideology doesn't provide benefits to those with children or try to be of appeal to those with families and children, don't be surprised if your politics fail to haul in much popularity. Parenthood mandates that the parents must believe in the future, and that they must make the world sufficiently decent for those who come after. Is this group not the natural ally of the progressive revolutionary Communists? And what does it say about your ideology's goals, if people abandon it once they have families and people that they must provide for? The revolution always requires the consent of the masses, so don't delude your thoughts into the foolish idea that needed are only small numbers of fanatical fascists and anarchists, because the movies are very often fictional and idealistly, and the history bears out the constant failure of isolated lone wolf tools."repressing fascism gives it a victim narrative"

>For Reagan not only saw communists as parricides, but also as extremely active sexually-completely in contrast to the actual sexual code in most communist countries. For instance, when he ran for Governor of California, one of the central themes of his campaign was “the mess at Berkeley,” a place where, he said, they held “sexual orgies so vile I can-not describe them to you,” promising if elected to “investigate the charges of communism and blatant sexual misbehavior on the Berkeley campus.” A good part of the reason why he was elected was that, as one biographer put it, “hidden away in the hearts of parents was the fear that their own children might one day go away to college, grow beards and march against authority.”… Reagan promised these voters that his first targets as Governor would be the students at Berkeley, “advocates of sexual orgies, drug usage, and filthy speech,” who wanted only to “disrupt the academic community” and who therefore must be brought under control immediately. The situation at Berkeley, he told a woman’s club in April of 1966, was now so bad that their “morality gap is so great that we can no longer ignore it.” He had proof, he said, that the Alameda County District Attorney had just investigated a student dance which had turned into “an orgy,” where they had displayed on a giant screen “pictures of men and women, nude, in sensuous poses, provocative, fondling.” Since Reagan had waved a piece of paper in the air during the speech, saying that he had the report of the DA’s investigation “in his hand,” curious reporters later asked the DA for a copy, only to be told that “my office made no investigations of the college dance.” - Lloyd deMause, "REAGAN’S AMERICA"/webm/ Thread 6

Unlike past generations, no amount of suffering or poverty can make modern normies change, they are fundamentally different from the labor movement of the previous century, normies cannot rebel, mentally or emotionally, if you try critiquing capitalism, even subtly, they will call you a filthy Marxist communist and reject whatever you have to say.I want to infiltrate a right wing militia

Hezbollah launches rocket barrage after Israeli strikes on Lebanon kill 7A Very Happy 125th Birthday to the Terror of Trotskyites, Lavrentiy Beria!
A thread celebrating the birthday of the steadfast defender of the Bolshevik revolution, Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria! Rising to prominence in his expert managing of the Cheka when the workers and peasants of Georgia were revolting against the Menshevik servants of the British Empire, Beria rose through the ranks to squash the terrorist counter-revolutionary Trotskyite organizations after the heinous sabotage of Yagoda and Yezhov left the Soviet state fledgling without experienced managers of Police affairs. It was Beria who stepped to the occasion during this crucial hour and stopped the murderous Yezhov as soon as he could. With extensive thoroughness, Beria reviewed and released over 100,000 wrongfully imprisoned by the Yezhov gang, such as the heroic Konstantin Rokossovsky, allowing him to play his pivotal role in the Great Patriotic War.IMT Sweden founds Revolutionary Communist Party

I hate religion and believe it should be prohibited, although it should still be preserved for historical purposes. However, we have encountered what is termed as "Reddit atheism," a type of atheism that is so off-putting that it makes you hesitant to even identify as an atheist. It embodies a sort of delusion of the South Park fan, where individuals with objectively mediocre intelligence believe they are superior to large segments of the population simply because they do not believe in God (or anything else, for that matter). Many on the political left are also coming to this realization. It has become increasingly difficult to disagree with a religious person without receiving a condescending "you dropped your fedora" remark and having others rally behind them. Even Stalin recognized the significance of faith and religion, and what it meant for the peopleCapitalism was no progress at all
Class societies have always been the same, people are pushed to do stupid things which keep the society going with majority of people living miserable lives. Capitalism has been no progress at all in terms of productive forces or otherwise. What capitalism does is that it creates tons of garbage on mass scale, which gives semblance that people have access to much more and much better but it is more of shit. Let us take the example of food, yeah the capacity to produce food has expanded but it is just shit food and that too is not available to all. The mass produced food is giving everyone and their mum cancer and at the end of it all what do we have? We have same everything in capitalism as we did in any other form of class society earlier.News 3/23/24

As socialists, how do we effectively utilize modern media methods to organize and to influence the working class to meet our aims? The popularity of Bolshevik newspapers amongst soldiers and workers was instrumental in the 1917 revolution but it's obvious that shitty Trotskyist print newspapers written in larpy, off-putting prose are less than useless at this task today. Given the fact that a huge amount of political organizing simply revolves around trying to find an effective way to attract attention to influence people's activities (all protests? most terrorism, even?) this question seems incredibly pertinent if we want to have any hope of attracting mass support and recruiting in the areas where it counts. The reason most people hold the false consciousness that they do is because of the opinions they repeat from bourgeois media and people under its influence. While there are a few somewhat-decent leftist media outlets I don't see why every single leftist political organization isn't laser focused on efforts to solve this question given that it's foundational to any kind of political organizing at any level. Obviously this especially includes social media and the manipulation of algorithms for online content. How do we resolve the media question?News 3/20/24

>Critics, attacking Marxism, accuse it of maintaining that development is performed according to Hegelian triads. According to them, development takesplace in the following way. At the beginning of the development of any process, it appears as a thesis, as something positive. This thing generates its own particular opposite – its antithesis. Further development unifies, in a way, the thesis and antithesis, that is, comes out as a synthesis. Thus development of any object takes places in three stages which form a “triad”: thesis, antithesis, synthesis. By these positions Hegel wanted to confirm the law of development through the struggle of opposites, transition of one phenomenon into another, its opposite, and transition of the former into such opposite, in which is included both preceding stages of development. Hegel’s positions contain profound thinking, which was grasped and developed by Marx and Engels. Engels wrote that the negation of the negation – “a very simple procedure, performed everywhere every day, which every child can understand as soon as the mysterious junk in which the old idealistic philosophy wrapped itself is stripped off […].”2the iranian monarchy is still alive, unfortunatly
