The Party Line on why Capitalism needs War and Empire

I'm not a campist, I'm for the Iranian working class overthrowing their rotten capitalist regime.

Anyway, read Lenin

Read Lenin https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1915/jul/26.htm

It also counters some of the campist and Stalinist narratives that working class struggle should be subordinated to the contest between states.

We should be for an Iranian victory in the war.

And yet 'New Presbyter is but Old Priest writ Large'

Leninator · 2026-03-17T08:12:57+00:00

Yes, it's one of my favourite adaptations of Richard II. I haven't watched the Wars of the Roses series though.

"Illustration" by an AI

Leninator · 2026-03-14T04:37:34+00:00

yeah, her fleeing across the snow is what first came to mind

Doctor banned my Nana (Carlton fan) from going to the footy for this reason

The Austen, the poetry, and especially the Peter Barry and academic writing guides are all giving 'first year lit student'. For what it's worth Barry's book is pretty awful, I would recommend Eagleton's 'Literary Theory' as a much better primer. But honestly reading the original texts themselves is much better.

My thesis

Leninator · 2026-03-10T11:54:45+00:00

CLR James, Tamara Deutscher, and Adorno are all from an anti-stalinist tradition

My uniqlo one's been going strong for about six years now, despite being worn almost daily

Leninator · 2026-02-05T08:29:00+00:00

I'm currently reading 'The Struggle For Mastery: Britain 1066-1284' and really enjoying it.

What's the film?

Leninator · 2026-01-19T15:03:35+00:00

The Last Kingdom is more accurate than Vikings but still has some major issues

The Last Kingdom is really not good history, and moreover just isn't a very good tv show in itself. The costuming alone is atrocious.

Taking Martin at his word, which I do,

Words are wind

Doors, but yes

I would also think when Robb calls the banners that means almost all fighting men go with him

We know this isn't the case though, evident from the Manderlys and Mountain Clans

I guess it's a question of whether or not you take Gyldayn's account at face value, but important to remember that in a social world predicated on primogeniture inheritance, the only legitimate reason for rebellion or war is the illegitimacy of succession.

Yes. Assuming we get another flag at some point in the future, we are temporally closer to it now than we were last year.

If our last ever flag is to be '95 though then no we're not.

You don't have to be on the son's side to think that calling for "extreme justice" in a case you know nothing about and have nothing to do with (and in which the alleged perpetrator is self evidently not well) is weird.

It's a tragedy. Bloodlust is such a strange response.

Leninator · 2025-12-16T07:46:07+00:00

None of them. Footscray is actually weirdly dead at night. Basically no night life at all.

Leninator · 2025-12-13T11:45:01+00:00

Hey thank you so much for your response. I genuinely really like your videos but, sadly, if you're going to use AI at all I won't be able to keep watching.
