if rosa luxemburg were in charge of the soviet union in 1921, she would have responded to the krondstadt mutiny by having every single anarchist in russia publicly executed. the weird perception of her as a "softer" or "more palletable" choice than lenin is so far from the truth. rosa luxemburg was also significantly more "dogmatic" than bordiga was. she rejected things like natlib and trade unions far more thoroughly than he ever did. if she hadn't been murdered by fascists she'd be far more hated by both mls and anarchists for sure. and to be clear, i like her and say none of this in an attempt to bury her

Lenin makes it Solidarność style, trade unions are thought to be strike comitees and provide own elections, forming parliament of its own

This is the inly part of fascism that I ever liked. The no bullshit expression of anger and hatred. In leftism everything is about having a theory an analysis and following "conditions" lile a machine. Don't get me wrong ill always be a leftist but the mainstream left just doesn't have this collectivist yet individualist zeitgeist.

Thats why "working class" or "the poor" or "the people" captures the socialist spirit more authentically, and this has coincidentally been where rightists have been successful populists, and where leftists likr you scramble for a scientific socialist definition.

So what? Leftist social and welfare policies (that rightists often steal) do work precisely because it comes from a scientific socialist framework.

>So it is apples to oranges then.
Dialectically, the "being" of a thing is in its qualitative distinction from common quantitative conditions. Apples and oranges are both fruit, but in themselves, they are totally different.
I see subway and see an irrelevant and useless mode of production, while you see the economy in your materialist perspective as something inherently rational, where everything is about profit and efficiency (this is another link between liberals and communists).
>Leftist social and welfare policies (that rightists often steal) do work precisely because it comes from a scientific socialist framework.

>working class, exclusively by its own effort, is able to develop only trade union consciousness, i.e., the conviction that it is necessary to combine in unions, fight the employers, and strive to compel the government to pass necessary labour legislation, etc.
In my opinion what he really means is that when they know there is no opposition leader (representative of the radical wing in media so that everybody knows it's a real person and not a single militant schizo, and he will satisfy demands when come to power) they are less tend to think revolutionary way as sole rebels can't really change anything.

Modern day proletariat are retail workers as they are the majority of labourers and are harshly expoitated. But it is silly to say they would seize means of production meaning they will hold actual groceries.
After the Industrial Revolution (1750–1850), by the mid-19th century the great expansion of the bourgeoisie social class caused its stratification – by business activity and by economic function – into the haute bourgeoisie (bankers and industrialists) and the petite bourgeoisie (tradesmen and white-collar workers).[2] Moreover, by the end of the 19th century, the capitalists (the original bourgeoisie) had ascended to the upper class, while the developments of technology and technical occupations allowed the rise of working-class men and women to the lower strata of the bourgeoisie; yet the social progress was incidental.
So it's bankers and industrialists who run the society and revolution target, but it's inevitable that the poor will try to seize the riches' (middle class) property and wealth either.

the only reason fascists were able to ever get away with that shit is because those angry mobs were deputized by the bourgeois and their police lackeys. the idea of some populist fascist uprising is a fucking myth, its a part of the legitimizing ideology of fascist movements sure, but without having elements of a divided ruling class on your side that kind of mob violence is swiftly crushed by cops. childish fantasy from people who want to pretend they dont kowtow to power whenever it matters, even though their entire ideology is about finding permission to indulge infantile sadism

Workers movement lacks civilian protest (due to the belief it is a bernsteinian thing) and civilian protest (an actual one), usually organised by an interest group, is basically seen by this group as a "performance", not a poilitical action.

It's not some mere coincidence they are the way they are. It's their own explicit doctrine of being antisocial and transgressive. And this expands beyond O9A and even esoteric hitlerist movements. The neo-Nazi movement openly glorifies sadistic destruction and horror, so it's going to continue attracting those people.
