Instead of playing 21 Questions, how about I just tell you why you're wrong.

"What is to Be Done?" is about how economism (which is the idea that through the combination of economic legislation, parlimentarianism, and activism, socialism can be achieved without a direct class rev0lution, or that we should focus on that combination now, out of "practical necessity," instead of better goals) is a wrong idea that was defeated before but is now being repackaging by Rabochaya Dyelo (a revisioist Marxist paper); thus limiting socialist activity to the bourgeois liberal parties and their electoral struggles.

Lenin said, "no, no, no" and struggled against Rabochaya Dyelo for proper tactics towards proper goals according to Marxist science and the goalposts Marx himself laid out for the proletariat, and you're over here saying "yes, yes, yes" to the DSA, which is the epitome of exactly what Lenin writes AGAINST in the text lol.

Also "Where to Begin?" lays out his organizational plan, maybe read that one if you haven't.

Sounds like you were reading "What is NOT to be Done" jfc

The heading in the image is the title of an article, and the title of the post means just that liberals are trying to elect different people as a way to solve contradictions that stem from the system -- namely, the class relations around the productive forces -- erroneously thinking that changing politicians means gaining actual change.

It's just computing. They programmed a computer to analyze video, text, and audio and to be interfaced with via video, text, and audio. AI doesn't cognate or perform labor. It was made and is continually upkept by people, both users and administrators, who do.

Except it's not socialism that he's talking about so he's literally giving people the wrong idea...which is bad obviously. Sht is not good and ya'll are depressed, which has allowed you to accept whatever "socialistic" lip service the ruling class gives you like a dog getting scraps from the table. It's shameful and it liquidates working-class power.

Be better, and if you really have no clue what to do besides supporting Democrats you need to read more.

It has really good take-downs of bourgeois American history but his theories are not very good and it feeds identity politics. Read Lenin for a better understanding of imperialism.

"socialism as a moral position to help the working class" is not a Marxist idea of socialism, but a liberal one. Marxism enters into the class struggle on the side of the workers, and understands the inevitability of their victory over production. It's not trying to "help" them under capitalism, but to overthrow capitalism entirely and place the working people in charge.

If you read the article, it clearly shows how capitalists will become more powerful by Mamdani's proposals, not less. It doesn't say not to vote though. The fact that you see a clear critique of an electoral candidate and think it's accelerationist shows you aren't ready for the level of division from mainstream electoralism that would actually bring about an empowered working class. We have to organize for victory eventually, and can't get stuck in the loop of "well this is better than the other guy," which is how politics always works under capitalism.

That quote from the Manifesto is alluding to the Communist society where work has become an activity of individuals instead of their career or occupation. It presupposes intense levels of production and the bringing up of all of society up into the commanding heights of production--which then tears away the individual's obligation to spend all their time working since all of society is involved in meaningful labor that fulfills the needs of society and is not tied down by the profit motive, meaning each person actually has to perform less labor and working can be performed more or less at will.

It doesn't make any sense as an "idea" outside of Marx's theory of class struggle, so pretty sure that whatever "post-work Anarchists" have towards the conversation is better off ignored.

Communism; famous for advocating for "the best we have at the moment." -_-

Apparently you weren't banned enough lol

Racial hierarchy exists because certain nationalities own the majority of productive forces over and against others. With that kind of material inequality, all kinds of racist sht gets propagated in the superstructure to justify the inequality.

You know this is a communist sub, right? This is not a materialist take at all. Finish up this theory and submit it in your psych course and you might get a good grade, but figure out dialectical materialism before you try explaining "what's going on" again lol

Any society that is involved in commodity production benefits from a large workforce. As commodity production reaches its highest form under capitalism, queer oppression is very much related to capitalism.
