Didn’t Orwell get shot trying to kill fascists during the Spanish civil war?

Poniard posted:I tried to read (first mistake) and I don't really "get" anarchism unless it includes illegalism which is imo a dumb word. if you're being revolutionary why aren't you breaking the law constantly Yeah I admit a certain emotional pull to the insurrectionist strain of anarchism, but afaic the main criticism is that it centers individual decisions over collective action. How this intersects with adventurism or volunteerism, I don’t know. There’s so much to read.

I’m not a scientist but it’s probably hard to maintain a socialist revolution when the US is out there wantonly killing millions to stop it

Terrorist Fistbump posted:I feel like a thread dedicated to teaching Marxism would be useful, maybe a readalong with an introductory text on philosophy since that's the big departure from liberalism. I've been meaning to read more intro level stuff to be able to reach out to people more easily anyway. I used the RevLeft spinoff Red Menace to finally start doing the reading. There’s so much poo poo to read though.

Terrorist Fistbump posted:I appreciate Politzer for the way he hammers a few key points about dialectical philosophy over and over again until the reader is forced to have a breakthrough. I have some criticisms of the book but they don't really matter because he does that one thing extremely well. Anyone has tried and failed to grasp dialectics at a basic level needs to read him. Looks like that’s only available as a PDF but having almost any text available in ePub format from that site has helped my reading considerably.

apropos to nothing posted:most of what is to be done focuses on the question of building a revolutionary socialist party. there's more contemporary and shorter essays and pamphlets that help summarize the ideas and give historical examples. This was helpful. Heavy on the Trotsky hagiography and war metaphors but useful.

dex_sda posted:That's for sure, but it pays to notice that in information tech there recently has been a sort of a revolution. IT started as computers doing calculations, but now, they're networks linked together with decentralization and redundancy. Of course one must be careful of applying those abstract lessons to human society, but it's the way the world appears to be going currently. It may very well be that orthodox industry is simply lagging with the implementation of these new tools that could enhance it - and part of it might be due to capitalism preventing the processes that are necessary in a cooperative economy. (e; this might be why the zapatistas are successful: they unshackled from capitalism while embracing the way tech allows them to communicate between each other and with the wider world). I think you also understand my point of view about this. I think it’s a vast oversimplification to call the capitalist internet of google and facebook and aws “decentralized,” but that’s as far as I can take it. cool discussion :-)

Atrocious Joe posted:After 2008. Tiabbi was one of the few journalists I can think of who gained a large audience by reporting on the crimes of the financial sectors and their government accomplices. Him doubling down on "cancel culture" debates right as the Fed is again using the money printer to give billions (at this point it might be trillions?) to bailout their friends is either incredibly stupid or suspicious. Maybe he just realizes bullshit culture war writing is an easier day job than picking fights with the entire banking sector. i think he’s saying it wouldn’t take much to turn cancel culture on the left, which isn’t exactly unprecedented in history

GalacticAcid posted:it really saddens me that The Discourse has moved on from what looked at moments like a world-historically critical uprising against police impunity and its white supremacist ideological underpinnings, all unfolding as the social & economic structure of global empire’s seat proves uniquely unable to respond to a devastating pandemic. I hear ya, but we all knew this was how it had to be. The uprisings to me have always been a completely unexpected win and should put to bed the annoying canard that "there is no left in America." If anything, the past few months should show that there is actually quite a large American left, in almost every city of every state. It's just poorly unorganized and unprepared to seize power.
