New Afrika necessitates a co-operation with the indigenous people of the land in the Black Belt. White people need to seriously shut the fuck up about this if they haven't done proper research.

@THEAFR0PUNK All of these problems by building Soviets in every community in America and struggling for those Soviets to usurp political power from bourgeois institutions. It's counter-productive to build a Nation State against racism, the task at hand is to fight racism within workers mvmts

@aetherjsm @ChameleonCorona I have looked it up and I agree with the Marxist indigenous people and not the anarchists or nationalists. You can't essentialize many hundreds of diverse ethnic groups and conflate them all with a vague nothing-burger political project.

@TexanRedGuard In order to revive the black nation you'd need to have a black national bourgeoisie whose interests cannot be reconciled within the system of global finance capital. The era of nation states is waning due to finance capital's ability to absorb it's opposition.

@TexanRedGuard Nations are not fixed outside of history, they come into being under specific circumstances and disperse as those conditions fade away. The CIA and FBI spent the last century picking away at the black nation in order to prevent a colonial war of independence within US territory.

@uncannymannyyt Not at all what happened

@johnjamzx123 @Sinister_Sophia Nationalization ≠ Socialism. Still bourgeois. One of the most progressive movements in history, but that does not change is class character because progress is historically determined.

Nobody reads Value, Price and Profit. Marx explicitly lays out why, even as wages and the standard of living increases, the fall in the rate of profit means that workers will be subjected to longer hours and still be immiserated by a shrinking share of the wealth

@trashcanfire88 @YukongYishan1 @osamabishounen What did you find? A CIA document that says the CPC didn't engage in drug trafficking, but allowed some opium production near the southern border because they didn't have the power to stop it?

I have a mutual on TikTok who’s like a super early baby leftist. Like loves Thomas sankara and mamdani literally zero theory read but I can tell they mean well. I try not to be rude bc they don’t know much but holy hell the shit I see them say

[Nerdeen Kiswani @NerdeenKiswani]

So this performative nonsense is meant to distract from the fact that hundreds of NYPD vehicles escorted Netanyahu to the UN today, giving him a grander welcome than most, if not all, heads of state. Meanwhile the NYPD was arresting anti-genocide protesters in the streets.

A far cry from campaigning on arresting Netanyahu. Now he won’t arrest him, won’t protest him, and says he doesn’t even encourage New Yorkers to protest.

But peace & olive trees 🫒✌️

It isn’t a matter of disdain for workers. Individual workers are capable of developing revolutionary consciousness through their own activity. The issue is that spontaneous struggles do not develop into revolutionary politics and organization on their own in a reliable manner.

[Le Patriote Communard. @LePatrioteRouge]

qu’il croyait dans le communisme et le socialisme, lisait et admirait Marx, Engels et Lénine (dont il connaissait par coeur, et annotait chaque page de leurs œuvres complètes), justifiait toutes ses actions par l’idéologie marxiste, etc.Vraiment l’opportuniste natio n’existe pas.

Cet argument m’a toujours fasciné : Staline rejoint le Parti en 1898 (20 ans), les bolcheviks dès la scission de 1903, il est en prison et pourchassé, il mène des actions directes alors que le parti est ultra-minoritaire. Toutes les correspondances privées nous indiquent

The lesbian bar story is a writing masterclass in how to include details that don’t necessarily advance the plot but enhance the work. Case in point: clown school

[Monty @out2lunch__]

Always be more people who are less studied/experience/conscious than there are people who are militant marxists. It's not outside the movement, it's leadership from within the movement.

[Monty @out2lunch__]

This is a bad faith interpretation. It's not a lack of faith in the workers it's math. We create an organization made up of WORKERS who have gone beyond trade union consciousness to organize in the interest of the revolution because in a MASS democratic organization there will

[Omar @Omaradation]

My biggest problem with Leninism will always remain their disdain of workers and incapability of thinking that they can't go beyond what he calls "trade union consciousness" on their own.
