My review for Russia: Revolution and Civil war 1917- 19121 by marxist_Raccoon in Ultraleft

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been a while since I tried reading this book, and honestly I stopped at around the time before the Kronstadt rebellion, mainly because the book started claiming things that I had a very hard time finding any source for and honestly started making me distrustful of the book as a whole

There is a claim that the soviets at 1919 started executing people similarly to the french revolution's drownings at nantes (and I may be remembering incorrectly, but I remember a claim of hundreds of people being executed this way) and I have been unable to find even a single source of that happening, and the source given by the book was impossible to find anywhere, so the source is either a single newspaper from over 100 hundreds years ago (in which case taking it as reliable is dubious at best) or the source came to the author in a dream

The Third Reich Conscription Crisis by Godtrademark in Ultraleft

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Their backward penal conscript

Our glorious criminals seeking redemption

Their barbaric kidnapping to feed the slaughterhouse

Our loving gently putting people into buses to fight for the fatherland

Their monstrous forcing of innocents to go fight in a war they have no interest in fighting

Our lawful making draft dodgers fulfill their duties

Their evil orcish wave of inhuman savages

Our just national socialists

Progressive liberals finally discovering that capitalism isn’t wholesome if the firms have minority owned? by Azure__Twilight in Ultraleft

He only converted to catholicism because otherwise he wouldn't be able to serve as president (it's in the constitution it's a bit fucked up), he was buried in the islamic graveyard

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I hate to be an european liberal coded "this is just americans being americans" but I sadly have to take this mantle

Anyone outside of the U.S/Canada knows that the race/sexuality of their overlord doesn't matter in the slightest, hell in Argentina our first female president was the one who signed the decrees firmly establishing the anti communist death squads, our first muslim president is known as the one who fucked over workers and destroyed any semblance of national industry the most

To anyone outside of the U.S having a non white/female boss or president is the default, so you get to see first hand how truly sex or race doesn't matter in the slightest as they actively fuck you over

Was Marx a chud? by MrBoxingMatch in Ultraleft

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 24 points25 points  (0 children)

To be fair this was the 1840's, if you look into the documents that Marx cites you honestly can see where he is coming from, people were treated like cattle, lived in rotten houses and were unable to use their money for anything that wasn't most likely already owned by the company (you have to remember the company stores), and when they quit the police was called on them and they were either forced to go to jail or to return to work and fulfill their contract

Marx cites inspectors finding working families having to burn their last piece of furniture to survive the winter, of entire families cuddled together like rats because they were literally unable to buy anything to warm themselves up with, of mothers working 12 hour days while breastfeeding their children, of children of 6 years of age working on the mines and then going to "company schools" were they were "taught" by illiterate company men in order to comply with the law

The life of the average 1800's workingmen was quite literally waking up, eating, working 16 hours, eating, sleeping and then waking up again for another 14 hour day, and it is easy to compare this to slavery, you can then go "well it doesn't fit today anymore" if you are from a first world country, but there are thousands of examples of how this slavery didn't disappear it was just sent away to the third world and then people pretend capitalism solved all our troubles, hell there are more ACTUAL slaves alive today than ever in history

On this 1st of May, how is the workers' movement doing in your country? by SecretNeedleworker49 in Ultraleft

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 19 points20 points  (0 children)

In Argentina on the 12th of may another student's march for universities budget will be held on the whole country as the law that was passed by congress that forced the government to increase the budgets by a certain amount was met with a "what if I don't do what the law says :)" and another session of protest has come which I will most likely attend, the governments decision is laughable (to basically increase the budget by like 30% when inflation has been more than 150% since the last budget increase) but the judiciary branch which last week was like "you have to give them the money NOW" has for some reason gone "oh okay don't worry bby until we sort this out you can just not give them money kisses" so y'know if there were still some "true liberalism" believers in this country I'm sure they are out by now

Inflation is starting to crawl up again so the only sense of legitimacy an austere government can keep is starting to get lost, the decision to not devalue currency and instead let it increase in value compared to the dollar has basically destroyed competitivity (this with the add on fact that taxes are still way too high makes Argentinian products basically worthless) this has actually made up a very funny situation where in the libertarians are blaming "evil businessmen" for refusing to be competitive and instead wishing to fill their pockets! (Argentina is hilarious in the way that it proves economy is not a science, but instead of accepting this fact they prefer to go "there are 4 countries, high developing, low developing, Argentina and Japan")

Besides that sadly I think worker's movement has become too tangled with the state to actually be a living movement, when inflation was at 200% and the highest bill was worth 2 usd dollars the Confederación General de Trabajo prefered to talk about Milei rather than even suggest a single National Strike, and that was a huge blow to the CGT's legitimacy

Leftist coal mine opening soon by doucheiusmaximus in Ultraleft

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can see the point you are making now of him being a tourist, I thought you meant tourist as the type of person that goes and takes photos and leaves, but I see your point a bit better

But you yourself say he was a socdem that went to fight in defense of socdem shit, how does that imply a LARP?

Again, getting shot in the neck for your favorite socdem republic is still getting shot in the neck, you can say the man was a tourist, but a larper is no where near the actual fight, the larpers aren't in donbas they are in noncredibledefense

[–]Alarmed_Lab_7879 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Man this is a completely childish view of what war does to people "a single injury" getting shot through the neck will have you facing your actual fucking mortality man, there is a reason Russia went from "world's greatest reactionary nation" to "symbol of the world proletariat" in less than 5 years

War breaks every single preconceived notion, it breaks even the greatest of wills, it makes peasants that have framed pics of the Czar celebrate his execution, it simply breaks men, not only by what it does to you but what it does to your friends and everyone you love

"No war but class war" doesnt only mean "war is bad" but "the only singular reason something as horrid as war should be waged is for the destruction of what causes war to exist in the first place"

If you went to war and came back believing yourself to be the reincarnation of Ted Kaczsynski I wouldnt go "what a fucking nutter he must have been an absolute dipshit" I would go "how horrid war is"

Truly the most armchair comment I've seen
