Last Notes npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I don't give a fuck. None of this shit matters. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I haven't spread any misinformation. I said the mercenaries are made up of the working class, not that all workers are these mercenaries, but that these mercenaries are mostly or entirely made up of workers, which statistically must be the case since workers make up the majority of any society, and it's not likely that capitalists are out fighting their own battles. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ It's kind of hard to not lose faith in humanity when the mercenaries who insist that there's no other way than #capitalism not only make up many humans, but which is made up of the working class, the ones who suffer the most from capitalism, yet are the ones who defend it with their lives. If not humanity, then at the very least, I lack any faith or hope in human intelligence and common sense. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ And you must have memory loss so I'll say this again: I'm not saying people shouldn't learn from the past or make up who they are from scratch, only that when they're doing so they should try to be original instead of just copying people exactly. 2/2 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ You were the one putting words into my mouth by suggesting that I was saying that people shouldn't learn from the past when I never said that, so you're in no position to start falsely accusing me of the same thing. People being exactly like other people who are different from the status quo is still then being unoriginal; the people they're copying being different from most people doesn't make it not being original; they're still copying their personality, i.e., being unoriginal. 1/2 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Being like someone else, whether they're from the past or present, is not being original, so you were recommending that people not be original, and for the last time, I never said people shouldn't learn from the past. All I suggested is that people should be original and not try to be like other people, whether from the past or present, not that they shouldn't learn from others. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Did I say a single thing about not learning from the past? No, I didn't. All I said is that people should try and not be like other people and should instead be original. I have no idea how you interpreted "be original" into "don't learn from the past." npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Just don't try to be like other people, as if it already wasn't obvious what I meant. That's as specific as it gets. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ In a world of a bunch of politicians and dead political activists, be original. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I believe you're right. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #immigration #protest #deportation #iceraids #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #immigration #protest #deportation #iceraids #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #immigration #protest #deportation #iceraids #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I think this version of the meme makes much more sense. Blaming the climate crisis solely on white people isn't correct or useful. Most white people aren't in any position of authority to directly do anything about the climate crisis on their own. It's the rich capitalists who are solely responsible for the climate crisis. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Yeah, we're animals, and like all animals, we don't act the same in every environment because different environments elicit a different response in actions and behaviors. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Also, the Stanford Prison Experiment actually proves that human nature is determined by material conditions because once the material reality of the participants acting as the guards changes (i.e., once they went from being regular citizens to guards) their human nature changed from relatively normal to abusive and sadistic. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ No offense, but I'm going to trust the hundreds of years of scientific analysis and evidence of psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, and a variety of other scientists over your personal limited experience and one single experiment. 1/2 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Yeah, that isn't true, and it goes against everything humans know about human psychology and sociology. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Human nature isn't static. It's determined by material conditions. Change the material conditions that people reside in, and, in turn, you'll change people's human nature. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ All communist don't want a vanguardist dictatorship like the Soviet Union. The dictatorship of the proletariat is clearly (to anyone who's read Marx) class supremacy of the proletarian class, who is the vast majority of capitalist society. The DotP is majority supremacy, not autocratic rule. And yes, communist support the suppression of the exploiting bourgeois class just as any oppressed people want the suppression of their oppressors. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I fixed this npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics #climatechange #globalwarming npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ https://leftvalues.github.io/ npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ What do you think of my Left Value results?

The capitalist provisional government was established after the February Revolution, made up of liberals and moderate socialists who wanted to keep Russia in WW1, and the Bolsheviks took advantage of the instability of the government to overthrow it and establish a proletarian dictatorship. Abolishing capitalism to create socialism is the opposite of counter-revolution. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #zionism #bds #palestine #gaza #imperialism #genocide #AntiImperialism #anticolonialism #colonialism npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics #aoc #alexandriaocasiocortez npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ 3. This third point is just a tautology fallacy. It is true that if they didn't believe Jesus was God then there would be no benefit for their belief, confessions, and martyrdom. So what? That doesn't mean what they believed was true. They could have just genuinely believed in something that was untrue. https://wiki.c2.com/?TautologicalDefinitionFallacy npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ 2. People, regardless of how many there are, believing something and being willing to die for that belief, doesn't make it true. This argument could be made for any religion with martyrs, like Islam, for example. Also, this is an argumentum ad crumenam, or appeal to belief, fallacy. https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Appeal-to-Common-Belief npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ My doubts in Jesus's words about his God status lie in the absence of evidence for the claim. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ You are correct that if one were to take the words of Jesus seriously, the inevitable destination would be to believe that he's God. It's the taking his words (about his divine status) seriously part that I'm against. Yes, Jesus claimed he was God, but so have hundreds of people throughout history and even today. How do we tell which one's telling the truth, if any? npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ 80 years ago today... npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ I can buy Jesus being born a human at birth since I know that humans exist and are born; there's nothing outlandish about that claim, but him being born as a God is something that has yet to be proven, yet Christians claim it to be an absolute fact with the most confidence. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ #socialism #communism #capitalism #anarchism #anarchy #marxism #anticapitalism #revolution #classwar #politics npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ What is Marxism-Leninism-Maoism Basic Course: Part 1 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ If you don't know who Thomas Sankara is, then fix that. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ "Speech in Defense of the Tactics of the Communist International" (1921) by Vladimir Lenin.

It frees the native from his inferiority complex and from his despair and inaction; it makes him fearless and restores his self-respect." β Franz FanonΒ (1925 -1961), FromΒ "THE WRETCHED OF THE EARTH"Β (1961) npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Part 1 of Karl Marx's "Critique of the Gotha Programme" npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ That's irrelevant. They're all members of the proletarian class because they have to sell their labor to capitalists for wages. That's all being a member of the proletarian class means. It doesn't mean they all have the exact same intrests and identities. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ A doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, and a factory worker are all different kind of workers who preform different functions in society, so in that way they're different, but they all also have to sell their labor to capitalists to earn wages to survive, making them all members of the same class, the proletarian class. There. I just meaningfully distinguished all those different kinds of workers while still acknowledging them as all being a part of the same class. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ "On the Significance of Militant Materialism" (1922) by Vladimir Lenin.

Explained in 11 minutes. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Don't be surprised by the #MahmoudKhalil incident. As #capitalism goes further into its late stage phase, it will shed its liberal and democratic facade and take on a more authoritarian and violent character that more reflects its actual nature, all to preserve its existence. It's only going to get worse from here, so you'd better get organized with other working-class people to prepare to fight back. Join an existing leftist party (suggestion: https://www2.pslweb.org/join) or create your own group. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Social Democrats (Bernie Sanders, AOC) are NOT on the side of the workers. The moment the workers can overthrow capitalism, they will betray them in favor of the capitalists and even the fascists. History proves it. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ You're gonna have to clarify what you mean by "tankies" being "too stupid." npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Whatever time you've spent in a Leninist organization doesn't seem to have done anything for your understanding of democratic centeralism if you're this mistaken on what it is, unless you're either intentionally obfuscating the definition to make it seem bad or if you were in a Leninist org that didn't practice democratic centeralism. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ ...I had only used expulsion as one of many potential examples of what repercussions a person may face, which is why I used the word "potential," once again, usually very obvious to people without this much explanation). In a democratic centeralist system, it's exactly the same, except all decisions are made democraticly. Once again, you have a lot to learn. Maybe learn about a topic before criticizing it. 3/3 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ It combines the functions of both democracy and centralism (hence the name, which is usually obvious to anyone who reads it without this much explanation). In a typical centeralist system, like an autocracy for example, decisions are not made democratically and all people can not object against the decisions or act out against them or they'll face repercussions (such as expulsion;... 2/3 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Do you not understand what centeralism is? What you described wasn't even technically democracy exactly, but just a basic and vague definition of decision-making that could be applied to literally any decision-making system. Democratic Centralism isn't just a bunch of people making decisions. It isn't just when people vote on things and then work together. 1/3 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Within democratic centeralism, once a decision is voted on, everyone within the party must adhere to the decision completely until the next time the matter at hand is voted on, and refusal to do so would be met with potential expulsion from the party. No, every political party most certainly does not do this. You have a lot to learn about Leninism and democratic centeralism, my friend. 2/2 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Every political party doesn't do democratic centeralism. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ If you live in America, print out copies of this image and give them out to people in your community, put them up on street poles, and leave them in places for people to take.

The state can't be abolished with any lasting success until class and class distinctions are abolished, and that won't happen just by abolishing the state. Abolishing the state doesn't make the class beliefs of people spontaneously dissappear. People's class beliefs will still exist, and unless they're repressed with force, with a state, capitalism will be restored. 2/3 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ First off, democracy doesn't inevitably lead to fascism. Capitalism inevitably leads to fascism. Fascism is capitalism desperately trying to maintain its power through non-democratic and authoritarian means. You've completely conflated capitalism and democracy and erroneously concluded that it's democracy that leads to fascism when it's capitalism that causes fascism because fascism is just the end-stage of capitalism. 1/3 npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ βThe opportunist, by his very nature, tends to avoid a definite and final solution of a question; he is always seeking for alternatives; he writhes like an eel between mutually exclusive points of view; he tries to βbe in agreementβ with all sides, but expresses his disagreements in amendments, doubts, pious and innocent wishes, etc. etc.β npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Money speaks! npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ This comic reminded me of a Karl Marx quote: npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ 66%+ of companies listed on Chinese stock exchanges are state-owned.

I'm not talking about the fake portrayal of North Korea that Western media presents. I'm talking about the real North Korea, the one with free housing, free education, free healthcare, and no homelessness, and all of this despite everything the country's gone through, while America, a far wealthier country, has the exact opposite. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ We beat fascists before.

All of this inevitably leads to oligarchy, authoritarian capitalism, whatever you want to call it. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Replace "authoritarian capitalism" with just "capitalism." Capitalism is inherently authoritarian. There's no need to reiterate. Plus, saying "authoritarian capitalism" sort of implies that there is some version of capitalism that doesn't ultimately lead to oligarchy, which isn't true. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ "Revolutionaries didn't choose armed struggle as the best path.

On REDnote, people tend to focus more on educating people on communist and socialist culture and theory, whereas on Mastodon, people seem to most focus more on criticizing capitalism. Both are obviously important, but I found this difference interesting. npub17j8qhr2t8y3d3cf9vr8uf80zm0yukf0p2m89kzmhdhpjp9l4ad5qm2r89d π π π§ Marx warned us nearly 200 years ago.
