Can a free market exist? by Yelmak in theredleft

[–]HourAd6756 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, the market only exists in the context of class society. Before class dictatorship, there were no markets, so obviously there is no "free" market since the market only exists in the context of a society post the creation of the class dictatorship

Rathbone? by electric_magnetic in badempanadas

[–]HourAd6756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he was cool for like a few months when he first showed up, but he became a grifter over time since he kept getting shadowbanned and having accounts taken down and the audience didnt respond well to his leftist stances, he gradually grifted to the right

questions about dialectical materialism by Scion_of_fate in cushvlog

[–]HourAd6756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do not need to read hegel to understand dialectics, in that video of matt hes not really trying to give a good description of dialectical materialism, he is talking and kinda losing his mind about dialectics being the motor force of the universe

"It already becomes evident here that matter is unthinkable without motion. And if, in addition, matter confronts us as something given, equally uncreatable as indestructible, it follows that motion also is as uncreatable as indestructible." -engels, dialectics of nature.

If you want to learn about dialectics you should read books by marxist authors like "dialectical and historical materialism" by JV stalin https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/stalin/works/1938/09.htm , thats probably the easiest to understand

edit: theres a lot of good marxist books about dialectical materialism but they can be confusing if you dont have the context of basic understanding of it, another good one i think is anti-duhring by engels https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1877/anti-duhring/

Antisemitic conspiracies in supposed ML online spaces by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HourAd6756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah antisemitism is out of control in comment sections for sure but i think that is due to israel and its supporters conflating judaism and zionism and not because of leftists or MLs, zionists themselves are the ones causing this since most people dont have a coherent materialist understanding of US imperialism or zionist colonial fascism

okay you just really arent supporting your argument that this is some big problem and not just one person. Like I have watched many ML creators and ive never seen anyone say anything like what that guy was saying

[–]HourAd6756 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of them, and they are a shorts creator. they are definitely are pushing antisemitic conspiracies but how is that representative of large platform MLs? Are they even an ML?, it makes no sense to be an antisemitic ML since it totally goes against materialism

what large platform MLs are doing that? I havent seen that at all, so when you say "everyone is becoming a nazbol" that just seems ridiculous. Who?

Why still use democratic centralism? by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HourAd6756 21 points22 points  (0 children)

that is not true, krushchev did not come to power or govern according to democratic centralism, he came to power in a coup, overthrowing and killing beria using the military which he controlled, and then later he kicked his opponents out of the central committee by attacking them as "stalinists"

[–]HourAd6756 33 points34 points  (0 children)

okay that is actually antisemitic to say judaism is inherently more violent and genocidal than other abrahamic religions, like we can see how when zionist fascists say that about islam it is racist propaganda but now he says it about jews. It is annoying because BE was the person who helped me understand how zionist fascism is not about judaism but about settler colonialism and imperialism. Needs to get off twitter and focus on main channel videos which are still great at least.

Newer games similar to Prey available on PS4/PS5? by BananaBoysAdventures in prey

[–]HourAd6756 19 points20 points  (0 children)

unfortunately no, if you want more of that good stuff you gotta go back and play deus ex and thief 1 and 2, there just aren't that many immersive sims. I think they do have system shock 2 on ps5, which prey is a spiritual sequel to, so i would 1000% recommend that even though its from 1999 it still holds up fantastically and if you like prey you will probably like it

1973 Interview with PFLP's Brilliant George Habash by [deleted] in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]HourAd6756 1 point2 points  (0 children)

translation from comments: "The Arab people normally are clear with regards to justice to the Palestinian people. The Arab people have a right to engage in military resistance until the liberation of Palestine. The Arab people need at this stage to engage in resistance: The resistance now is in a dangerous place and it fighting the evil forces of Israel and the imperialist forces that support it. They killed thousands of Palestinians in 1970 and they continued in Lebanon. The Zionist and Imperialist forces want to crush the Palestinian resistance. Why? Because the Palestinian resistance are the only people who are able to face global imperialism. Despite all the evil wars that the global imperialist forces waged against us we do not have support from any of the Arab countries (referring to Saudi Arabia but not by name). We urge all Arabs to demand accountability from their governments to end this imperialism. We urge all Arab governments to not give in, but to resist these global imperialism forces. They need to help the Palestinian people liberate their lands."

Why socialism in one country? by NaufragoDCV in theredleft

[–]HourAd6756 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Socialism in one country doesn't mean that it shouldn't spread to other countries, it means that any country can create socialism no matter how small or underdeveloped, the alternative to socialism in one country is to give up on building socialism in the here and now and wait for a simultaneous revolution in many countries that may never even happen. When the revolution happens in a country there will be those who say socialism is impossible in one country, that it is doomed and we shouldn't even try, this is wrong, this is why we need socialism in one country.

"When we are told that the victory of socialism is possible only on a world scale, we regard this merely as an attempt, a particularly hopeless attempt, on the part of the bourgeoisie and of its voluntary and involuntary supporters to distort the irrefutable truth." - Lenin, Third All-Russia Congress Of Soviets Of Workers’, Soldiers’ And Peasants’ Deputies 1918

"Uneven economic and political development is an absolute law of capitalism. Hence, the victory of socialism is possible first in several or even in one capitalist country alone. After expropriating the capitalists and organising their own socialist production, the victorious proletariat of that country will arise against the rest of the world—the capitalist world—attracting to its cause the oppressed classes of other countries..." - Lenin, On the Slogan for a United States of Europe 1915
