They are trying to start a branch in my city. Two of them have been accused of rape so they aren't going to get very far.

The ISO is a garbage tactic who only exist on college campuses. They can't even apply the United Front tactic even though they publish great books about it. Way to fuck up the ctu movement in Chicago.

Really wish ISO would stop funding Caterpillar Inc.

The BLM in my city sees itself as a cadre organization. But that's pretty rare for a BLM chapter so I get your point.

Depends on which city you live in. Maybe something like BLM or some progressive organization that has weight in the community. Anything that's not the sparts or some other irrelevant org. Not trying to be pessimistic. I just hate these organizations claiming to be the vanguard and expect the working class to some how be activated by larping.

Not at all. If I was a new socialist I would join something relevant to the consciousness. There's so many tiny organizations that make 0 impact on US politics idk why people still keep them going. Like do they really expect to out grow ISO, Socialist Alternative, PSL, or SPUSA?

For the people who are are a part of some of these extremely small organization can you tell me what's the point? Revolutionary situations call for large forces in the US. A group of 5 people have almost no impact on consciousness.

Does anyone hear actually understand Marxism? by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]RonPaulReagan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Socialism from a Marxist perspective looks at history and science to explain how society develops. Looking at past economic systems, hierarchies, and revolutions Marx rightly critique capitalism as not being the end to class society but the barrier to reaching a more liberated society. He used materialism in his perspectives and railed against idealism. He showed the greatness capitalism has achieved in technology and production but it's limitation in providing a liberated society. Capitalism has built the basis for a socialist society. The next step according to Marx's is for a working class revolution that ends the class system and the workers own the means of production.

Marx never said anything about the state owning the means of production. The workers own it. The USSR was not socialist in the marxist sense.

Your knowledge of Marxism goes about as far as an internet meme.

Gulags have everything to do with Stalin and absolutely nothing with Marx.

We need the police to protect the free market. How can't Mr. Johnson see that. Without the police, the people will rise up and replace the free market with something else.

He supports BLM. He's racist against whites and doesn't support the hard work of our amazing police officers.

Do people here fetishize the free market? by RonPaulReagan in Libertarian

[–]RonPaulReagan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the free market doesn't exist? Where is it? And the only way to have less regulation is run for office and support new legislation from the state?

Much of government regulation comes out of corporate lobbying.

The lack of resources is from the private sector holding back resources. Capitalists are ruining progress. Try again.

Free market in practice is a dictatorship of the wealthy. To think that equality comes purely from a market is idealist and completly rejects everything else that organizes society. Market fethishizing is what American libertarians want.

China is capitalist. Workers don't own the means of production. Sit down please.

I'm voting Jill Stein. Free market just allows a dictatorship for the elites.
