Australian and Oceania politics general thread.Apologize
>As soon as the slogan “soviet régime” begins to function as a pseudonym under the cover of which the Jacobin and Blanquist idea of a minority dictatorship is reborn in the ranks of the proletariat, then the soviet régime acquires a universal acceptation and is said to be adaptable to any kind of revolutionary overturn. In this new sense, the “soviet form” is necessarily devoid of the specific substance that bound it to a definite phase of capitalist development. It now becomes a universal form, which is supposed to be suitable to any revolution accomplished in a situation of political confusion, when the popular masses are not united, while the bases of the old régime have been eaten away in the process of historical evolution.Sexual promiscuity is a bourgeois perversion
>Promiscuity in sexual matters is bourgeois. It is a sign of degeneration. The proletariat is a rising class. It does not need an intoxicant to stupefy or stimulate it, neither the intoxicant of sexual laxity or of alcohol. It should and will not forget the vileness, the filth and the barbarity of capitalism. It derives its strongest inspiration to fight from its class position, from the communist ideal. What it needs is clarity, clarity, and more clarity. Therefore, I repeat, there must be no weakening, no waste and no dissipation of energy Self-control and self-discipline are not slavery; not in matters of love either. But excuse me, Clara, I have strayed far from the point which we set out to discuss. Why have you not called me to order? Worry has set me talking. I take the future of our youth very close to heart. It is part and parcel of the revolution. Whenever harmful elements appear, which creep from bourgeois society to the world of the revolution and spread like the roots of prolific weeds, it is better to take action against them quickly.

There's something incredibly eerie about Judaism that I can't seem to point my finger on. All religions induce strange mental disorders. But Judaism indices a particular kind of disorder I don't know what to call. It always looked like Jews seemed to live in a parallel reality where every non jew is potentially a dangerous aggressor regardless of his ethnic origins, political motivation, country etc… which is an incredibly paranoid reality. It's almost akin to a mental disorder where no one can be truly trusted except Jews. They live in a state of perpetual victimhood where something benign like a joke at their expense can quickly escalate to harassment and persecution and eventually genocide. So to them any means of persecuting non Jews in a preventive manner is justified, like how IDF soldiers would shoot a child because he can potentially become a terrorist in the future. Which is a retarded way of viewing things since these types of behavior only increase antisemitism which increases their paranoia and aggressiveness. It's almost like a self designed feedback loop of oppression. And it's so obvious to non Jews it only makes us laugh how they're completely unable to see this.March 15th, Belgrade Serbia

As time goes on and the tasks of the industry undergo automatization, most jobs are left to the part-time workers. Hasn't anyone else noticed this trend? We call them petite-bourgeoisie and yes variably but mostly tend to be since the nature of their work is not collectivist and is akin to the statuses of small business owners (individual entrepreneurs), shopkeepers (of small businesses), small-scale merchants (without a proper shop), semi-autonomous peasants (now just semi-autonomous poor entrepreneurs), and artisans. I feel that class relations have changed and nobody has bothered to do a concise analysis of it, instead clinging to the same labels, looking back and trying to reapply or justify the changed situation with outdated concepts. For example the "peasantry" Marx described is not the same as the poor jobless homeless, they were literally farmers with limited land-ownership and yet I see people calling hobos and the general poor as peasants. I am lead to believe the term proletariat barely applies anymore, the industrial proletariat is being scaled down and once society no longer relies on its labor then nothing makes it a revolutionary subject since it cannot bring about change through strikes or anything - it will just disappear once its no longer needed anywhere. My thesis is that the majority of the current workers are in the sphere of services and that the revolutionary subject may be IT workers, programmers, generally technicians and scientists which can understand the machinery and affect it. Machinery has already enveloped most of society, so any change that comes upon it will affect it and whoever can affect it can take control of the social order.Update on the fallout of the South Korean coup attempt

Not trolling or trying to be /pol/ here, but I've seen this happening to a lot of leftists since the start of the Gaza Genocide. Can we really blame low autism score chuds for hating Jews when Jewish soldiers fighting in the army of the self-proclaimed Jewish state are committing the most depraved crimes against humanity in recent memory on livestream? When it came to the ordinary German's complicity in the Holocaust, left-leaning intellectuals like Thomas Mann supported placing a collective burden of guilt on the German people. Should the same be applied to the Jewish people (or at least Israeli Jews)? Going full Ye and doing actual antisemitism definitely isn't the answer, but the wounds are so raw.

Title says it all. Martov's hysteria and swampification of the menshevik wing pushed it into an opportunistic alliance with the counterrevolutionary forces. But this does not invalidate menshevik tactics. These are informed by the pre-2nd Int'l German SPD. The kernel of menshevik policy really is in the membership rules. Leninism/bolshevism opts out for professional revolutionaries, financial and organizational support while menshevism opts for financial or organizational support. But bolshevik tactics were suited for a, say, Russian autocracy or Yugoslavian monarchofascism, or Mongolia even; not in 'democratic' western European states. The Brussels/London congress demarcated the tactics for the 'west' (democracies) and 'east' (autocracies)./USApol/ 🇺🇸

IMO supporting Polish national self-determination was a big mistake on Lenin's part. Think about it- the early-mid 20th century was a liberal fetishisation of 'national self-determination'. The ethno-nationalist rise of fascism in Germany would have been offset dramatically if Poland never existed and frustrated the nazi effort to gain power. Moreover, the focus on national politics was used as a distraction from class warfare and the nationalist poles crushed communists. I can't really see Lenin being vindicated in this case.News 7/19/25

I SUPPORT re education camps for all religious minorities and majorities in the People's Republic of China and wish for world domination by China and an export of its superb secularism which is distinct from liberal secularism and multicultural menace. The monocultural society of the PRC oriented towards the scientific outlook on development is the precise model that should be adhered to worldwide. The politics of gender identarian, new age spirituals, overly sexual and promiscuous perversions of western secularism and the multicultural contradiction that allows for freedom of religions which are in essence feudal superstitions and doctrines of reaction are demonstrative of the insufficiency of western style secular governance. The sexual revolution is completely at odds with thousand year old archaic feudal beliefs and its byproduct of attempted synthesis is an insult not only to the victims of religious regressive reactionary attitudes but also an abomination and amalgamation of those who cannot give up their feudal views and adopt Stockholm syndrome at compromise with the doctrine which no longer can be claimed to be adhering to divine dogma and only serves to appease the modernizer's contradictory lifestyle. China's model of governance reigns supreme and is ultimately the most progressive, but it can be even better if it doubles down on the penalization of all archaic views and adherent philosophies.What did Bordiga mean by this?

People will seemingly do anything to not engage in analysis of structures of class, labor, and political economy a la basic Marxism.wtf sorel
"The critique of Marxist economics was the real starting point of Sorelian revisionism and the criterion of all of revolutionary revisionism. As a good Marxist, Sorel made a considerable effort to understand his master’s economic conceptions. In 1897 he set out to study “the Marxist theory of value,” and he immediately discovered a “major deficiency”—that to treat this theory as something universal was an error. He agreed with Pareto that one cannot treat “economic problems, as provided by experience, in a strictly scientific manner.”36 Three years later, in the midst of the Bernstein debate, whose main lines he summarized for the benefit of the French public, the future author of La Décomposition du marxisme very clearly questioned the main principle of Marxist economics. “The Marxist theory of value,” he wrote, “no longer has any scientific usefulness and . . . gives rise to a great many misunderstandings.”37 GEORGES SOREL 43 We should also draw attention to another point, which does not seem to have been sufficiently noticed. Although Sorel rejected the theories of value and surplus value, he also rejected the idea of the socialization of property. In an article in La Revue socialiste published in March 1901, he praised rural cooperation and then came to the conclusion that “socialization could not be accepted by the peasants if it were not given a new form. . . . One must therefore necessarily revise the doctrine.” Sorel attacked the subject by going straight to the point. “For a very long time,” he wrote, “the schools of socialism failed to pay attention to the great differences that exist between the socialization of production and the socialization of commerce.”Deep Dark Truth

But I am unsure of how the working class may fight the professional strata who design the means of production.SEIZE THE MEANS OF REPRODUCTION
Economic conditions of the modern world are making it increasingly difficult for people to produce children. Men struggle to find wives. Those that do then find it difficult to sustain a family on a single wage, resulting in both parents having to work, resulting in less children. This is not a cultural/economic issue restricted to the Western world, as some claim, but a global issue of urbanised post-industrial societies. Both economic incentive programs and reactionary cultural movements attempting to bring back the traditional family have failed to significantly raise birthrates (see Korea, Russia, Hungary, China, etc.). Western states have attempted to use their comparatively higher wages to attract foreign workforce thus putting a bandaid over this issue but this solution has in turn caused many more problems, mainly due to cultural friction between the imported foreigners and natives. We can thus say that no solution to the depopulation crisis, that is both satisfactory and effective, currently exists.Is weed destructive to society ?

So what is it? I see this phrase spammed from time to time in modern times in the style of"but what about X under communism"
do you not find that this question is kind misguided? for one, communism is only the phase of human development that comes from the proletarian dictatorship and only through it. it makes sense to talk about X under the proletarian dictatorship since that one grows out of capitalist society and production, and communism comes from the worker's dictatorship. so we can kinda sketch how X (if at all) would look under the proletarian dictatorship (as lenin does often). but talking about X under communism is retarded, because it assumes X exists under communism. here are some examplesElon Musk's Party
Will he be the one to break the Demopublican party's grasp on bourgeois elections and continue a new reign of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or will he crumble as he pours his money into a failed campaign?

It's 2025. We are now closer to 2050 than 2000. What has the left achieved this century? As far as I can tell the Western left has achieved nothing. Neoliberalism continues to get worse. It has successfully created a fake opposition on the right. You can call it populism, nativism, racism, MAGA et cetera, but it is really just a controlled opposition that does whatever capitalists want. In the East we see China. China has become the world's largest car manufacturer in the last five years. This change happened post-COVID and with heavy tariffs from the West. China has also lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty within its own borders and it has become the number one trading partner of most of the word's nations, including most American nations./USApol/ 🇺🇸

China is fasbol gang.Working towards socialism is a leap of faith
Let me begin by saying that I’m a socialist myself, more specifically an anarcho-communist. That said, I always back to the same matter: the society we can create must be created within the constraints of human nature and material reality. The problem is, human nature is unknown. We do know humans have a tendency towards well-being, as most want socialist solutions to their problems. Yet if we judge humanity based on its history, it’s discouraging. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is an example of it. We must accept that under the right conditions, humans are capable of atrocities. Power relations seem to be intrinsic to humans, as it is a curse and self-preserving.Ethics in the Luxury Communist World

They just had their yearly conference yesterday. New board for the next year.What's the strategy?
If building popular support and organizing the masses gets you killed (Fred Hampton, MLK, Salvadorian and Guatemalan peasants, etc.) and a violent insurrection against the state is impossible, then what's plan? Due to climate change time is limited. And the possibility of a nuclear war keeps increasing (although seemingly unlikely for now).It's time to rehabilitate Idi Amin
Today is the anniversary of the Entebbe Airport Operation in which the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and the Revolutionary Cells (Germany) killed Yonatan Netanyahu, brother of Benjamin Netanyahu. This brave undertaking, despite its failure, was made possible by General Idi Amin Dada's staunch pro-Palestine, anti-Zionist, and anti-imperialist stance. Though he was only in power a few years, it's clear that Idi Amin could have been another Ghaddafi had he not been ousted from power. I highly recommend the documentary Général Idi Amin Dada: Autoportrait for more details. His proposals for African sovereignty and self-reliance were so radical that it scared the shit out of the neighboring comprador countries. Amin came to power ousting British puppet Milton Obote, and it was none other than Obote the coalition put back in power after Amin's ouster. Julius Nyerere, the self-proclaimed socialist president of Tanzania, led the charge against Amin, only to sell out against socialism in the 1980s. I also recommend following Amin's son, Mr. Lumumba Amin, for more truth nukes on his dad, and some daily denunciations of the Zionist entity: https://www.facebook.com/HusseinLumumbaAminCooperatives

>Thesis and Antithesis - A study in contradictions…Anarchism or Socialism?
Socialism today splits into reformists, anarchists and Marxists. Reformists give up on breaking with capitalism and settle for minor adjustments and class cooperation. Anarchists start with the individual, believing free communities will emerge naturally. Marxists put the organized working class at the center. They argue that only a united proletariat taking control of production can end exploitation. The real divide is between building from isolated individuals or from the collective strength of workers./USApol/

Know thy enemy. Know how the glow operates, how it plans, how it thinks, how it manipulates.Why Are They All Tailist Opportunists?
Every experience I've ever had with a major American org, be it PSL, DSA, SALT, CPUSA has left a profoundly disappointing impression. They uniformly have no militancy, no coherent program for building power, and no pattern of success. Often, their strategy invariably finds itself expresses in mindlessly tailing the activist cause du jour, recruiting from liberal protests, then creating their own nonviolent liberal protests and book clubs to fundraise off of ad infinitum. Usually their electoral strategy involves endorsing the Democrats or trying to launch a presidential run for some figure with no national profile who receives 0.015% of the vote. At best they'll make a mild contribution to local tenant organizing on a micro scale. At worst, they're fed-filled cults run by sex pests. Anarchists, who lack the political organizing capabilities to accomplish anything of note, usually somehow lap these orgs in actual militant activity. At least they're capable of creating some minor property damage./USApol/ 🇺🇸

🗽UNITED STATES POLITICS 🦅Zionism is the end result of "Read Settlers!" discourse
Read Settlers/Land Back discourse will ultimately lead to Zionism if taken to its logical extreme. Zionists justify their occupation of Palestine by saying they are the indigenous people of "Judea". I know this is meme history, but if you go back far enough, everyone is a settler. There's a difference between being indigenous and having indigenity. The latter is based on one's continuous connection to the land over a course of centuries, whereas the former is just where a group of people are originally from. When the USSR fell apart, Russia went through a period of "competing sovereignties" where a bunch of the ethnic republics tried to declare independence under the banner of indigenous self-determination, which undermined and weakened Russian sovereignty and its place on the global stage as a whole. Kurds are attempting to create a second Israel under the same premise. There are even scenarios I support in theory, like Armenia reclaiming its lost territory, but in practicality would lead to more conflict and strife.Anti-Kahanist General #1
