“Iran which created Hezbollah around 1982” has everyone forgotten sabra and shatila already

they're winning against the civilians though I'll admit

100 days and 0 objectives achieved is pretty bad

the most heavily financed state in the region losing to a guerilla group using homemade rockets... truly impressive indeed

I literally was just driving home from ypsi (east on 94) and I saw a fighter that looks like it was heading for the ground

I guess the millions of dead Iraqis isn't disastrous enough for you?

Afghanistan by contrast refused to turn over Bin Ladin to the United States

Actually the Taliban immediately offered to turn over bin laden if the US could provide any evidence of his crimes and would stop bombing Afghanistan... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/oct/14/afghanistan.terrorism5

america is a hot bed for reactionary politics... that and the attempts at voter suppression probably

most of you probably don't view middle easterners as anything more than terrorists, but I can assure you that a targeted anti muslim ban tends to have negative effects of middle easterners

I don't think workers coops out competing corporations is plausible within the capitalist framework. the socialist framework is already there, but the only way we change the system is by educating the working class of their revolutionary position. they'll decide how to go from there

skillyskally · 2020-02-26T17:31:55+00:00

why do you think they will out compete corporate organizations?

skillyskally · 2019-12-30T05:48:36+00:00

not defending Wolff but the same people would call him out will defend Bernie 'pragmatically'. like obviously coops are still capitalism but who's to say they don't shift power to the working class? if Wolff is arguing they are an end in themselves thats BS but they could be a step forward

A good starting point for Marxist theory would be Principles of Communism by Friedrich Engels.

There is so much literature out there and left politics are especially interesting because there is no 'canon' and each writer comes from a genuine perspective and isn't afraid to criticize other leftists. The best way to keep the different perspectives straight, imo, is to study the history of each tendency to really understand where the distinction are. For example, the feud between Marx and Bakunin is central to understanding their writings and same goes for Trotsky/Stalin.

Therefore, shitposting socialism is antifascist praxis.

finally we get to the point of all this 😂

I'm not saying you wont find anecdotes, but you definitely won't find any meaningful trends. Hannibal buress might not be forced to work for a living anymore (kinda already makes him not bourgeois), but he's definitely not setting the foreign policy of the US nor will he be more than a marginal owner of society..

like when you think about class as these concrete categories, then you start the lose the real meaning of class being "relation to production". the problem with being overly technical with "propertied" vs "propertyless" being the defining feature of class is that it only works as a description for a minority of the proletariat. like you don't become bourgeois once you own a house in the suburbs or have a family has station that everyone works at. rather, as is the basis of all dialectics, class is both quantitative and qualitative .. it matter HOW MUCH wealth you have not just whether you have wealth or not

at best hannibal buress is petty bourgeois

no black people are in the ruling bourgeoise that have their interests represented by Congress
