tokin opposition posted:The move from a structuralist account in which capital is understood to structure social relations in relatively homologous ways to a view of hegemony in which power relations are subject to repetition, convergence, and rearticulation brought the question of temporality into the thinking of structure, and marked a shift from a form of Althusserian theory that takes structural totalities as theoretical objects to one in which the insights into the contingent possibility of structure inaugurate a renewed conception of hegemony as bound up with the contingent sites and strategies of the rearticulation of power. source ur quotes

The Voice of Labor posted:pacifica radio, pot growers and environmental activists represent a substantial part of the american left for, like most of the 80's and 90's. if anyone in the u.s. knew or cared about what was going on in south america, or asia or even within the united states it was because they were hippies or hippy adjacent. so broaden that, make it so that anti-interventionism/anti-imperialism is considered the normal position rather than the extreme far left position. why does this notion trouble you so much? don't harsh my mellow man

yeah lumpen are people who would ostensibly be working-class but work against the interests of the proletarian project: mafia, petty thieves, methheads who strip copper piping

dead gay comedy forums posted:Mao argued that the lumpen vacillated between revolution and reaction, thus it is a vanguard matter to proletarianize them, to seize their declassed condition for the benefit of all. Personally, I think that it is here where we get a shift towards a new categorical problem, more closer and relevant to our present-day economies. A good bunch of people nowadays could be seen as lumpen in the 19th century (especially in the service sector), but wouldn't be actually so because they were proletarianized either by discourse, organic intellectual effort, education or simply emerging class consciousness. really good post, and this part is something i hadn't really put much thought into before. would this be someone like a liquor store employee on a poor side of town? or a debt collector, or someone that hawks reverse mortgages?

is it worth your time and safety to organize in an all-volunteer army?

i see volunteers as being okay with the basic idea of a state, as well as being an agent of it, as opposed to conscripts. i could also see a volunteer troop used to enact various...actions as part of a revolutionary group, but at arm's length. i could also see veterans incorporated, but an active-duty member in good standing is either a deep mole or will get you all arrested

if active-duty volunteer troops are ripe for organizing, does that also mean that it's a good strategy to infiltrate the army, i.e. sign up with intent? i know that was a thing in 1916, but conscript-free it just feels ripe with danger and counterproductive outcomes. there's no true critical mass to success in the 2024 US army imo you can pick up the disaffected, yes, but discharged vets are a different thing altogether

Raskolnikov38 posted:I think creating propaganda aimed at converting soldiers would be more productive than enlisting to organize cadres within it. what you'd want in a revolutionary situation is for the rank-and-file to side with the revolution or at least lay down their arms. trying to convert from within just seems like asking for a very long stay at leavenworth yeah i think this is what i was getting at

i just think there's a fundamental difference with a predominantly-conscript army because the communists are already there because they were forced to be. propaganda is much more effective from this position, but also more effective at whom it goes toward

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:Yeah at best you’re going to get like Robert Evans types of radlibs among even the most “leftist” officers. Literally every exception I can think of in American history since the 1880s who was an ex military officer either got kicked out deliberately or only came around after they had been out of the military for some time. an officer will inititiate revolution based on personal grievances or at the end of a bayonet, that's about it chapo likes to be coy about an officers' coup which yes may actually be the most direct path to an anti-imperialist government but they definitely mean captains and majors instead of colonels

Son of Thunderbeast posted:Depends how granular you wanna get, because I bet you'd find significant differences between specialties within the same branch. e.g. in the Air Force enlisted ranks a lot of your combat specialties are gonna be extremely hoorah and about as revolutionary as marine infantry, and MPs are cops, but the further you get from that the better your chances are going to be. They're still not gonna be great but the odds are much better in places like sheet metal shops and chow halls than say the pararescue barracks those chow halls used to be a lot more revolutionary when it was the military feeding the military instead of neoliberalized to contractors

thechosenone posted:Skull.gif in the DoomEcon thread made me think of the comparative wealth inequality of France vs now. Given how much money has to go into an American worker, how would we manage that level of inequality? Is it even possible in the west without basically having to return to similar levels of tech or basically turning into a pure extraction economy that just buys everything from places like China to sidestep the lack of willingness to invest in the production of the tools themselves? yeah i mean that basically tracks. people that would be on an assembly line with stable hours, benefits, social life, community, are instead dragged into the ubersphere to serve their betters that hollowing-out is pretty much why we'll be conquered, eventually
