  • I mean I only care about people’s feelings insofar as they affect material results. I don’t think there will be a revolution any time soon but the obsession with moral atonement like “”“”““leftism””“”“” is a religion is entirely counterproductive. The demand for self-flagellation among former troops is part of a broader trend on the western left, which in it’s impotence has latched onto moralizing as it’s primary focus. I don’t think that spending years investing time in disparaging and admonishing troops is going to end well when the time comes. We don’t live in a place and time where angry masses with semi auto rifles can take on the largest and most technologically advanced military in the world. It wouldn’t be like Vietnam or Afghanistan, it would be a conflict of life and death for the Imperialist forces and they would treat it as such. Revolution in the imperial core would necessitate major defections from Imperialist security forces, most likely from those that are colonized people themselves.





  • Communism is when you declare individual moral culpability for their role as cogs in an oppressive machine and the more you declare it the more communister it is. In fact, Marxism is 100% about the moral veracity of individual actions. That’s why Engels was an evil counterrevolutionary for continuing to manage a factory his father owned despite claiming to be a “”“Communist”“” and Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai were reactionaries since they are products of the exploitative Chinese landowning class.



  • The dumbest thing about stupidpol is they think they’re materialist marxists that aren’t tainted by liberal identity politics but in reality they’re just fucking socdems who get uncomfy talking about anything that doesn’t benefit them personally. They all worship Adolph Reed who does have some good critiques of the Western left but is generally a bad Marxist and not a Leninist in any way. These people don’t believe in the concept of the labor aristocracy presumably because it sounds “radlib”. They think you will be able to get a bunch of chud plumbers who make $80k/year and own their own property and a big fancy truck to be socialists through AFL-CIO union membership lmao.
