Capital - The means of which bourgoisie levels command over economies usually represented by “the amount of money” they possess but also includes rent seeking, owning of assets, owning of the means of production, resources, and distribution lines, and financing; typically.

Capital accumulates classically by owning the means of production and paying labor less than the value of said labor. That surplus is profit. It is also modernly accumulated through rent, debt collection, super profits from the global south, unequal exchange between an imperialist core and a colonized area, expansion of markets outward, and monopolizing sectors of the economy into private hands.

The structures that reinforce it are states that represent the interests of capital and level the monopoly of violence, legal deeds, and courts, and military expeditions to protect the rights of private property and the opening up and monopolizing of markets and resources.

The base is our material conditions. These can be work conditions, living conditions, the means at which we transport people and resources. The base informs the superstructure. And through superstructure, the base can be altered.

Superstructure is usually cultural things, religion, arts, and labor relations and how we explain the material contradictions of capital and how we negotiate those contradictions.

And example is we live in a base material condition of abundance and yet we have a superstructural discussion of why we “live in a state of scarcity” and of course those of us who are arguing against that in hopes to change the relationship to the means of production. The base informs our superstructure, but it isnt absolute because it also informs the negation of bourgoisie thought and class consciousness.

A vanguard is a party of professional revolutionaries whose job it is to help guide one class to realize their material interests over another class; in this sense a vanguard class that helps working masses realize their material interests and seizing that moment at the expense of the idle, passive, and parasitic capitalist class.

You havent answered my questions. But I answered yours.

But that doesnt change the fact that you came off like a tactless, insensitive prick and calling the violence of culture war as a nothing burger street fight. As if those who are having the violence done to them are somehow equally responsible for what you called… “A street fight”.

Calling reactionary terrorism and right wing agitprop a culture war is a misnomer. It’s terrorism pure and simple. It’s stochastic terrorism pure and simple.

The existence of Black Wall Street wasnt terrorism or even an equal participant in a “street fight”. The existence of Stonewall wasnt a terrorism and those people werent rolling out brutalizing breeders on the weekend cause “damn the straights”.

But the actions of those angry white workers and petite bourgoisie crackers that firebombed Black Wall Street was terrorism. The cops that raided Stonewall and… Picked a fight with those patrons was a terrorism and a self defense against that terror.

Whatever though.

I mean this in good faith, you’re the one who began levying personal insults against DoubleK because they care about fascistic violence happening.
