YPG is also a Marxist-Leninist group, though how much they believe in that is up for debate.

For whatever it's worth, David Harvey has a new lecture series entitled,"Marx and Capital: The Concept, The Book, The History." They're actually quite good. I was particularly intrigued by the concept of anti-value. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MceeO4Ulrs Lecture 1: Capital as Value in Motion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Exuvac8Fcc Lecture 2: Value and Anti-Value https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oemxH2dYYRw Lecture 3: Value and Its Monetary Expression https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQsAOn5JfPA Lecture 4: The Space and Time of Value https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFlaic4t4Z4 Lecture 5 | Use Values: The Production of Wants, Needs and Desires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cehxlTrzDiA Lecture 6: Bad Infinity and the Madness of Economic Reason Edit: Fixed links.

I'm trying to unpack a lot of the negative stigmas that have been pressed upon my impressionable mind by the American bourgeois, and while I am currently struggling to separate Stalin from much of the negative stigmas I have to admit that I like much of Lenin's writings.

The fact that Russian nationalists can have a big hardon for Stalin alongside Tsar Nicholas says it all imo. E: The literal isolation of late capitalism https://twitter.com/jeff_kaye/status/813319497817976832 Pener Kropoopkin fucked around with this message at 14:44 on Dec 26, 2016 |

zen death robot posted:Stalin was basically the reason the government was so paranoid and corrupt that by the time Gorbachev tried to stop the bullshit it ended up accidentally ending the country (Chernobyl and Afghanistan didn't do them any favors either) Yeah, kind of a huge bummer that the guy who was able to get them through one of the most perilous parts of the Soviet Union's history turned around and took a hammer to anything which might have paved the way for socialism.

I mean the inherent flaw in it is that someone does have to be in charge so it becomes Everyone Is Equal Except This One Guy Who's Better and that someone is usually crazy or an rear end in a top hat it works well when that's not the case though

You realize we, in Obama's America, live in a more encompassing surveillance state than anything that was in the Eastern Bloc, with police that are less accountable than those of the Eastern Bloc, with an entire undercaste of people who can be detained indefinitely on a whim... right??? With a percentage of people in prison or detention or state supervision that is a hair under that of the GULAG period right??? President Trump is about to inherit a state security apparatus that lets him surveil, black bag, or murder anyone in the world without even a fig leaf of due process or oversight, bro.

Libertarian socialism is hot with the lefty kids these days, so who knows what a socialist state would look like now. I'm not sure how you solve the problem of squashing counterrevolutionaries without insane amounts of political repression though.

You win people over with positive results and you're always going to have a fringe that hates everything but whatever. honestly a benevolent surveillance state with no censorship is probably the best we could hope for that's pretty close to what our liberal democracy is like already
