You mean to tell me that the species that has since before its own existence lived in large social groups of at least 30 individuals can't function in small family units of 5 exclusively????
Meanwhile we debate the definition of man and woman. You cannot convince me Gender Ideology is anything less than bourgeois psy-op designed to keep the Western Left impotent.

Also the whole point is that's ridiculous to see it so mechanically, the whole point is that it's one of the many contradictions in our society. Women are both expected to be and punished for being "attractive"
Seeing this tweet get so much pushback has lowkey reignited my hope in communist twitter a little, especially considering the second tweet that is essentially just great man theory
God I'm so tired of communists falling for the anti trans culture war sentiments. Evolution, gravity and the existence of atoms is also backed by every bourgeois institution, it does not mean they are bourgeois inventions
"the working class is stronger than ever"
Is it though?
"LGBTQ people are targeted by bigoted politicians" are they though?
"We always take the side of the oppressed?" Who decides who is oppressed?

insane to me that someone with a PhD can't see past the nuance of a colony not being *legally* controlled by a country but in every practical sense of the word being controlled by said country lol
The LGBT movement needs to ask itself WHY it isn’t liked globally. Most Russians I know are convinced that LGBT isn’t a legitimate social movement but rather a liberal political movement funded by hostile powers that wouldn’t exist otherwise.
Sauron had a lot of problems, but he knew how to manage a wetland. The Dead Marshes were one of the environmental gems of Mordor, and an impressive nature-based solution to help remediate the environmental damage caused by the corpse issue after the Battle of Dagorlad

and what did they do with it afterwards? forced labour was rampant, insane levels of resource extraction and not even an ounce of democratic rights for indigenous Congolese. Why are you trying so hard to minimise one of the most well known genocides in history?
I'm not saying engels is alluding to trans people here btw. I'm saying it should be very clear that what constitues as "man" and "woman" cannot be divorced from the social context these categories are used in
I'm firmly of the opinion that all serious marxist organisations should band together in their collective criticisms of this group. Guys like hinkle and haz genuinely remind me of straight up national socialists and under no circumstances should we tolerate these ppl
It’s really simple: all I asked Noah from
@MidwesternMarx
was “Do you agree with Jackson Hinkle’s statement that Claudia and Karina should be deported?” All he had to do was say: “No, I don’t agree with that.” It’s really that simple.
But the guy no longer has any principles.
I rlly hate the attitude of "feudalism took hundreds of years to overthrow so so will capitalism". if you look at how modes of production were revolutionised over time you notice a trend of this process being faster with each successive mode
The cpgb wondering "where does the money come from" while they have such worthwhile expenditures like twitter verification so they can go on their paranoia filled, sectarian rants on twitter

And that we should, generally, not give a shit about what people choose to do in their personal lives. That people have the right to be who they wish to be and deserve utmost support in their endeavour to be happier with themselves and those around them
Btw, this isn't purely a moralistic analysis. Any marxist worth their salt knows that the proletariat can only liberate itself when it's working together. It is a requirement of the revolution, not just a nice additional goal on the side
Was Lenin disconnected from the masses when he condemned their antisemitism and marginalized the majority peasant population in favor of the proletariat?

proper antifascism would include removing the material conditions that have led to the development. You might notice I haven't even mentioned the nazis because I think it's quite obviously implied that they represent one of the most evil and contradictory time in human history

Stop with these frankly ridiculous conspiracy theories. Antisemitism or any other form of discrimination is and has been on the rise because of continuous culture war after culture war by conservatives and impotent "antifascist" actions by libs

This question itself doesn't allow for the entire nuance necessary within this conversation. Do you mean the biological phenomena of sex as a vector for reproduction or the way those categories are expressed within human society? Clearly those 2 are different
I find this an incredibly telling video because it's quite literally how the reformist sees everything. Everything in economics is a simple supply and demand issue, that's all! Ofc the rhetoric often becomes eerily close to a bourgeois understanding of matters.
Open borders is solely about the unrestricted flow of workers, exploited by capitalists at low prices.
This is why, despite rhetoric from Tories or 'Reform', they ultimately serve the interests of capital and cannot secure our borders.

Plenty of comrades have already tried to show you the very real legislation that has been passed in the US and the UK. the fact that trans people face direct discrimination in employment and in their day to day lives. Rejecting this fact is part of the anti trans sentiment here

I think it's absolutely absurd to try and "weigh" any genocide against another one, especially ones up to the scale of the holocaust and in colonised Congo. It's equally insane to suggest the number of deaths in colonised Congo is "exaggerated". That's what i took issue with
I genuinely, down to my core, hate these people and their reactionary and destructive rhetoric. You are not a communist or a marxist, you're a helpful idiot to the ruling class
People are making fun of this but it's actually true. To this day trotsky's ghost is so strong he comes to visit me every night to tell me to start taking estrogen
In the end, it was the glorious Soviet union who won the war against Germany while Trotsky was cowering to the West and trying everything to teat down what Lenin built ( because he actually never agreed with Lenin) and trying to incite antagonisms in Ukraine.

This whole discourse exemplifies everything that's wrong w online marxist discourse. 1) It's based on a vulgar misunderstanding of the words marxsits use. 2) it's an irrelevant theoretical discussion about a part of capitalisms development that is and was inevitable
saying stupid shit like “imperialism was historically progressive” is proof that the left in the imperial core remains horribly Eurocentric. How was imperialism “historically progressive” in Africa, Asia and Latin America? Hundreds of millions of people died. As long as you think

99% sure this is to keep people from just getting a foster cat to post it on the Internet and not actually care for it. Not everything needs to have malicious intent behind it
Spent an hour arguing w this so-called "Marxist" only to find out they just straight up deny the most foundational essence of histomat. The idea that the mode of production affects the development of the means of production. Fascinating.
This is a typical fundamental misunderstanding of what marxists mean w the word "contradiction", contradictions for a dialectical understanding of the world are a fundamental part of everything, they are a key thing driving the development of matter
This is probably super fucking classist and bourgeois of me to say so I apologize, but when it comes to politics (ESPECIALLY on the left) I feel people should still formalwear in order to dispel the average person’s no shower kinda deadbeat stereotype on leftists
I'm gonna be completely honest, the "batman is just a billionaire beating up poor people" conclusion that a lot of people make comes from an undeveloped but still existing understanding of the fundamental contradictions of capitalist society.
Fun fact: As child Vladimir Lenin idolized Abraham Lincoln’s Union Army & its struggle against slavery. His favorite book was Uncle Tom’s Cabin by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, which tells the story of a runaway slave fleeing the American South, & preaches values of
You know what fucking sucks about this whole situation? The inevitability of all this. Sooner of later one prominent trans person was gonna end up being a bad person (because statistics). But the way the blatant transphobia in posts like these can be "justified" now is sickening

this is an incredibly odd thing to say to someone who seems happily married, why would you ever say this to anyone in the first place?
but like on a real note, if doing this agitates people into taking that last step into joining a communist org I don't rlly see the harm. Potentially annoyed metro commuters aren't gonna be straw that breaks the camels back in terms of public support for communism
The advancement of science is something that can take place under capitalism. Is it often inefficient, reaffirm pre existing notions in class society and make false conclusions? Absolutely. A total rejection of these advancements however is reactionary dribble

A tiny, neutral country got invaded by a fascist regime and an economic powerhouse killing 70% of the Jewish population and this is how you formulate that? Have some respect
Anti communists project their own selfishness onto communists. Part of the reason I'm never going to move to a country like Cuba is because I want to help in changing the system that is haunting the people closest to me. I want it to get better here and internationally too
Lowkey I've been thinking marxists should stop engaging in this discourse in the first place. This was a collective marvel in science and engineering from the time, something to be appreciated and bewonder. Not some petty argument about national pride lol

I saw the original tweet, noticed "centuries", and like any normal person decided it is absolutely insanity to pull a "well akshually🤓☝️" because I'm not a pedantic asshole constantly trying to prove my theoretical superiority over other communists
Some people rlly have this strange obsession w a revolution being a necessarily bloody affair while one of the best examples of a successful revolution was a (mostly) peaceful one (at least when talking about overthrowing the ruling class). Its just very strange
every communist should aim for a peaceful transition to socialism btw, if you take that to mean electoralism then that just means you have shit reading comprehension.

My entire point is that the second isn't a fixed definition applicable to all human societies. A large portion of origin of the family is about how the position of women has changed throughout human history, if their position in society isn't a part of the definition then what is

I genuinely hate gamers so fucking much. They spend hours playing multiple beautifully handcrafted pieces of art and all their undeveloped pea sized prefrontal cortex can muster is some "anti-woke" bs. No idea about the greater contradictions in how games are developed
“Liberals will side with fascists over socialists because fascism doesn’t threaten capital” is the stupidest somewhat popular sentence among leftists because fascism absolutely DOES threaten capital
Every region of earth has good food of some kind because cooking is one of the primary material conditions applicable to all humans, to claim otherwise is reactionary
There's no marxist analysis here, there's no fundamental questioning of the economic fabric this imported labour is used in. It devolves into the wrong assumption that the conclusion of the problem should be dealt with as opposed to the problem itself (capitalism)

Also this is such a dogshit nonsense take btw. 99% of marxists just look and dress like regular people. This is a literal non issue and you're letting your view on reality get skewed by reactionary stereotypes
Its frustrating and this is why we talk about the international proletariat. Every migrant labourer is another comrade to invite and organise into the party, another gravedigger of capitalism. Higher wages are achieved when the worker fights for it, not when there are less of him

yes but like many other things, none on the scale of humans right. I think that's whats so unique here. bees *technically* have some sort of language but it's nowhere near the complexity of even the earliest human languages
There's a fascinating study on this. In some parts of the US they reintroduced wolves and noticed an increase in bison populations resulting from this. Nature hangs on by a very fine and delicate balance and by selectively reintroducing certain parts of it we can recreate this
wolves don't decimate deer populations, you dumbfuck, they keep them healthy and even increase riparian health by discouraging them from spending time near streams. Their presence ensures more biodiversity.
That is the wolf's *habitat*, not a job site
When you put it into that context suddenly these maga com types stop being a silly little grouping. They expose their true background. A clear antirevolutionary movement that seeks to pacify and confuse the working class. This isn't a coincidence, it's a conscious effort

Especially considering that, during revolutionary periods these networks establish themselves (see Bangladesh atm). These are valid areas of intervention ofc, it's a strategy that depends on circumstances
