Protracted People’s War until Communism!!!

And now I’m seeing a bunch of videos of them getting absolutely whooped by the locals. Football hooligans sometimes do good things!

Next time I won’t miss

Chatgeepeetee please solve the halting problem for me.

Its a book-length series of articles but it certainly covers that subject here: https://kites-journal.org/2023/03/13/introduction/

Theres an appendix at the end too for further references.

In terms of proper theory/practice I have some bad news and perhaps a suggestion for you. Unfortunately both revisionism and a broad anti-intellectual attituide are hegemonic today. From my experience theory, if it is even studied at all, is done in an ecltic, unfocused manner based purely off of personal interest rather than directed at understanding / strategizing about a particular problem–theory and practice are entirely separated.

PSL kind of indirectly enforces this by overemphasizing capital P Party (actually Procedural really) discipline among its members. With every comcievable task officially delegated, for instance, if there’s an event a such-and-such person will be told they are responsible for bringing water, the other fliers, etc. Such explicit, granular control is fitting more of a boot-camp than a Communist Party in the sense that there is no way creative applications, or avant-garde developments can occur in such an environment. Not to mention the problem of dissent & censorship endemic among Trotskyite groups.

I’m being too detailed for what I want to get across in this comment. Although I don’t necessarily agree with them 100% the Unity Prospectus by USU covers the lay of the land of the US left quite well:

I guess the advice I have for you is that while you should get involved in whatever is available, you should do so with a critical eye–never lose persoective on the ultimate goal of a Communist revolution; understand the difference between tactics-as-plan and tactics-as-process & don’t get lost in the weeds. With that in mind, always strive to criticize incorrect ideas, no matter how unwelcome it may be; claim no false-unity either, divide what can be divided into two sides. Have a sense of separation and think of it as an investigation.

Can confirm it works on Linux

So i guess you can bypass the censorship by getting the telegram apk from outside of the google play store (F-Droid for example)

So you think it’s an invalid concept because of a moral judgement of the Bourgeois state’s legal system? Does not your invokation of the ‘black market’ belie your point? That the criminal has an objectively different relation to production than the proletariate?

Also you know what concept could only be thought up by some educated German theorist? That the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle. What postmodern nonsense!

Beyond the particulars I think you need to go back to the very basics. What’s class? Proletariate? What makes the proletariate a revolutionary class? What’s meant by it having ‘radical chains’? Finally, what’s Marxism? Is it just a perscriptive lens?

Anemia of theory will be the death of us all…

“CR, LF, CRLF? Why can’t we just have a universal line ending character? ”

Those are hashed passwords. None of this is really immediately useful information as far as I can tell… The bulk of the data is automated stuff from WP plugins like spam filtering and such.

No. My criteria for for things happening is if everyone knows about it regardless of news reporting. A chatgpt generated headline summarizing a supreme court decision is not.

Isn’t that the sentiment behind ‘weeks where decades happen?’ The momentous weeks that come out of nowhere, changing everything, and their seemingly innocuous build-up over the decades prior?

I’ve wholeheartedly become one of those ‘boycott the elections!’ people recently. Obviously getting progressives elected isn’t the goal–I would hope this is a starting point most would agree with here–, but neither is it good strategy to say we’ll win reforms by creating powerful working-class organizations. I’ll go even further and say that the shame-faced agnosticism of saying that election are wholly irrelevant misses the point in that the farcical nature of Bourgeois democracy behooves us to put this fact forward as primary. We don’t ignore elections because everybody knows politics is a shame, a rich mans game, and so on, as although this may be true we understand our ‘democracy’ itself is a tool of class oppression by the Bourgeoisie. Therefore, we dont posit more working-class representation in government, we posit the dictatorship of the proletariate instead. We understand that all consessions, and reforms won through popular struggle are meant to bury the contradiction driving class-struggle, to quash popular discontent by channeling it through safe, legal avenues. The state legalized unions because the alternative was killing your boss. The state became ‘democratic’ because the alternative was overthrowing your government.

That’s exactly what liberals are going to do if Biden gets couped by the DNC. They are going to pin everything on him.

Ole genocide joe did a genocide, but not us! We quitely resisted, untill we had to take such drastic actions after all else failed–we’re heros really. Oh, you think [bad policy] is bad? Well that was all Biden actually. We wash our blood-soaked hands clean with the Great Man theory rag.

It’s an interesting piece, and yesh while their position is basically that FRSO is a cut above the rest they do have some criticisms (correct IMO) of how they operate.

With that said the program they lay out meant to address the issues they see as primary in the Communist movement, nnamely theoretical backwardsness and amateurism, strikes me as odd in that this has all basically happened before with the attempts at empire-wide party building during the New Communist Movement in the 80s. There is so much that has gone with even an attempt at summation that it all feels a bit preemptive: why did it fail to cohere in the 80s? Why is it different now?

Gotcha. Yeah in my opinion philosophy should be taught with a focus on historicaly situating thinkers, and going through their works so as to understand not only why they came to the positions they do but also why, on a deeper level, did their concerns lead them down the path that it did.

Kant as reacting to the French Revolution, or doggedly trying to place God amidst skepticism and reason itself. Nietzsche can be read as reacting against the angst of the precarious petty-Beourgeois intelligensia of the German State, etc.

It’s unfortunate really as Kant is a remarkably systamtic thinker, and most of the claims / positions extracted into some lecture are in principal explainable with the text themselves. It’s just that a lot gets lost when hurrying from topic to topic as I’ve experienced.

Uh… If you haven’t used https://plato.stanford.edu/ I highly recommend it. Good luck lmao
