PermaculturalMarxist [they/them]

the real result of MKULTRA was that they basically perfected torture

can’t see it because it was hosted on the site :sadness: hopefully it’ll come back when images are re-enabled

chapo lore iceberg when?

I don’t think we even have to go to moral “oughts” if you just genuinely don’t feel like working with veterans. I see it how some therapists don’t want to work with children or something; it’s just a segment of the population you personally don’t want to work with. If you can get around it and it makes your time at work better then why not.

I hold the petite bourgeois to still be part of the proletariat. Then again, I’m a propertarian communalist… so my opinion is not representative.

words don’t mean anything I guess

“I was unbanned. I apparently only have one downvote left that Im allowed to use. Thank you benevolent moderators of Chapo.Chat. I promise to never downvote again.”

so does this mean the purge didn’t go far enough? :stalin-shining:

Eh, if anything more pro-worker and anti-sex abuse measures could be taken. I personally don’t consider the enjoyment and utility of a porn website to it’s users to weigh anywhere near as much as the safety and material benefit to the people that work for it.

Wasn’t this because there was a bunch of stolen content, revenge porn, and cp being posted and barely anything was done about it? I would say this is probably a good thing, even though the damage has mostly been done and MindGeek’s monopoly status has been more or less completely consolidated.

How can someone recommend Bernstein and Rosa in the same breath? Reform or Revolution is basically just debunking Bernstein and saying revolution is necessary lol

It’s not a moral argument, it is an empirical one. Individual people choosing not to have kids will not solve anything if capitalism, the real source of waste and pollution, is not challenged. Individual people subsisting is not the source of pollution, it is the econmic system.

Just the general dislike for capitalism

plenty of reactionary folks that also dislike capitalism. I honestly don’t see anything leftist about anti-natalism unless you really stretch that definition

I literally spent dozens of hours in college studying “theories of social change” trying to find a comprehensive, interdisciplinary account of how qualitative changes in society occur and every librarian I went to told me I was out of luck and all theories that were easy to find were narrowly focused on some specific feature of change (e.g. “resource mobilization theory”). Then I find Marxism and I realised bourgeois social science must be intentionally keeping students in the stone ages.

tl;dr I was literally going to go to grad school unknowingly trying to re-discover Marxism but after I actually read Marx I’m glad I don’t have to

this is always a good retort when for when the non-communists say that we just want violence or that violence is ideologically enshrined into communism. To that last one, I’d also add that every political system uses violence, either overt violence or the threat of it, to mantain itself, what changes is who the violence is directed at and to what end. Under liberalism, it is overwhelmingly towards the workers and oppressed in service of mantaining hegemony of monopoly capital.

utopian legends/narratives

damn even the feds think we’re libs

I have a reading group going on so I haven’t been able to get started with these, but I read the syllabus and this seems like a great series. Saving for later, great work comrade
