I think acting like Noah Berlatsky. Which means idpol above all and ostracization of those who don’t agree or especially offer mild criticism kind of sums it up. Look at all the people who in this thread literally compare criticism to nazism. I mean. I think we have very good examples of the pathetic specimens in this thread.

Yeah, you're calling Prince Myshkin, a genuine Marxist Leninist, a loving radlib and it's dumb. But then I've also seen anarchists called radlib so its almost as if the term has no real definition.

Funny how he acts like radlib. You can call yourself many things. But what matters is how you act. If you seek to silence mild criticism of idpol from Old School Socialists you’re no ML. Note how Noah Berlatsky also says he’s a socialist all the while slandering those on the left. Actions matter. And when actions are to silence mild criticism of ideas that are at best a minor part of the of workers liberation. And often used by reactionaries to silence forces seeking to advance the goals. You at best need to reassess your actions. If not reassess if you ever were as much a revolutionary you claim.

AFAIK when people call communists radlibs, it's because if you're the kind of communist who only sits on the sidelines and criticizes everybody else for being impure, that's functionally identical to being a woke Twitter lib. I'm not saying that applies to anyone ITT because I don't give a gently caress about your thirst trap wars.

Anyway. I can't stop having nightmares about civilizational collapse, and I still don't give a gently caress about Red Scare. Stop quoting Crowsbeak. The ignore function only works if we have herd immunity

I do. What matters is what ensures workers liberation. What doesn’t matter is whatever soothes the egos of people like you. As it requires ideas that are used to silence the left by forces of reaction. Right now it is racist to oppose Biden because older blacks voted for him. It is homophobic to oppose Buttigiegas he is gay. Unnasailable idpolis now being used to silence the left. Hellaccusations of “antisemitism “ were used to screw Corby . Concepts of “voices of the marginalized “ have to be critically looked at as they are now used to silence the workers movement. And just declaring critical standpoints are nazism or fascism or strasserism are at best showing a lack of critical thinking. At worse it shows a infantilism that needs to be expunged.

They are definitely truer revolutionaries then the people here who think mild criticism of idpol is nazism. I will say. At the end it’s revolution or barbarism and the barbarics would love to see more idpol to ensure the revolution never comes due to egotistical mentally unwell people crying over someone saying the r word.

Marxism is about seizing the means of production for the masses. Marx also had those who thought socialism should be about free love and should focus solely on bringing up minorities expelled from his movement.

I mean. We need a discourse. Even if it means beating it into the brains of the mentally unfit.

Marx talked about Alienation. Speaking of alienation. It is alienating to refer to Joe Rogan and his fans as sexist. It is alienating to describe any and all white males as “privileged”. It is alienating to describe mild criticism of idpol as “nazism”. Hmmm.

We probably will. As at the moment there is a far too large section of the left at priorities ego over actual goals. I hope Trumps victory at the end of the year makes some begin to reevaluate their thought.

The roles of genuinely radical women like Kollontai pushing ideas like free love did get written out of history pretty quickly (like when the Central Committee made her get married). Can't blame someone who thinks podcasting is praxis for being ignorant of that sort if thing

The idpol over everything scolds are a tiny online clique. They are annoying, but they're not the problem. The problem is the idea that making discourse more progressive is an end in and of itself, and that it reflects any meaningful change. That's what results in Bernie expending all his political capital on "moving the conversation left". The DNC, and libs in general are perfectly willing and capable of adopting woke or left talking points without actually delivering on any of it, and Capital always corrupts or outpaces this type of nice guy progress.

There are lots of people out there who admire Bernie for sticking to his principles and never going low, but the reality is that he's the only one playing by the rules, and he's getting demonized either way. Bernie likely ending his political career head held high is doing his cause a massive disservice; he should have tried appealing to the atavistic heart of America like Trump did, after all, Trump won.

Hey. The central committee knew how to keep power. Thank God they did so СССР was there to crush nazism. Rather then allowing those who only dealt on their passions and policing all speech run it. Also Kolkontai ensures she didn’t meet the end many of those who put ego first did tragically in 37.

the lenin/luxemburg polemics on the national question really bear a frightening amount of relevance to present anxieties re: racial isses. it meshes much less neatly onto sexual minorities and women, though

really the big problem with the identitarian paradigm is its privileging of the subjective experience of oppression as effectively irrefutable - this helps a lot as a rule of thumb to prevent dudes like me from trying to say 'uh excuse me x is clearly not racist' to various concerns, but the focus on lived experience is pretty obviously detrimental to any sort of generalised analysis, and demands for intersectional solidarity absolutely need that or it'll quickly turn into eternal quibbles about the give and take, because there's no good way of weighing concerns against each other. tbh it really does feel to me that marxism was the obvious answer to a question begged by intersectionalism, and suddenly we're back in the sixties and marxist-feminists are getting agitated at the bourgeois neo-feminists...

I actually did. It is about alienation. And as I said if your response to alienation is to alienate potential allies who also outnumber you., and also could be picked up by the forces of barbarism. You are doing it wrong.

Thank God the CC knew the way to keep power was removing all power from the Soviets, effectively disenfranchising the workers, crushing the peasantry and having anyone who disagreed on even the smallest tactical issue killed while allowing for a new class of comfortable bureaucrats to emerge. Proper job.

Imagine concluding the purges of almost all the Old Bolsheviks was the right thing to do because hey, at least they beat the Nazis as if. Killing socialists is bad.

Being fair, being a Stalin apologist checks with being socially regressive.

Good thing this is a dishonorable defeat. Due to dnc rigging. Best of all the dnc will run on being the wokes possible. So the one section of the left left holding the bag? The woke scolds. Some will definitely begin a re-evaluation after this. Those who don’t? Well. Might be necessary to push certain orgs that claim to be against dem centralism to adapt it so as to ensure such people no longer are allowed to speak for socialism.
