  • Fair enough. I mean - it fell out of fashion and is largely unused outside of Germany and a few Scandinavian countries. It remains an interesting system, though. For example, in the German system B is referred to as ‘H’ and Bb as ‘B’. Which means the german note system is actually very much modal going (in ‘normal’ not German names) A, Bb, C, D, E, F, G, B (for a scale on A), giving an interesting chromatic turnover (G, B, A, Bb, C) in the middle of scales. Chromatically, it is C, Cis/Des, D, Dis/Es(s), E, F, Fis/Ges, G, Gis/As, A/Bes, Ais/Hes/B, H/Bis, C. This quirk of naming allowed both Bach and Schostakovich to create their BACH and DSCH motifs which they used throughout their compositions.







  • Not at all. Fascism has a specific goal as an extension of bourgeois democracy. It is self destructing but with it used as an immediate last resort “cure” to kill off worker’s movements when they grow too powerful. Bourgeois democracy does so over time coincidentally in its drive to extract resources. Fascism does so targetedly, more quickly. It is designed as soon as it has done so to destroy itself again to make room for the reinstatement of bourgeois democracy. But it remains still a method by which to destroy the left in the most effective manner possible, more so than bourgeois democracy which does not destroy the left but merely suppresses it. Between suppression and destriction especially in this early nascent period for the western left I would choose suppression. Even Stalin deigned to fight with bourgeois democracy against fascism. To do anything else is pure ideology with little regard for possible material outcomes.


  • That does not stand. You have completely ignored my previous point. Muad’dibbers is the only point that bears any wait and that is because he actually engages in the comparative at hand, that is between fascism and bourgeois dictatorship. If you object to the we, then I will tell this account expresses my own opinions, and sometimes - as in the case above - the opinions of myself and a group of friends in accordance with democratic centralism. If it should help you, I have changed it back to “I”.


  • Not so. Fascism is bourgeois democracy’s response to the worker’s gaining power. It is a defence mechanism. What that means, however, is that it is tailored to suppressing the workers and the progressive cause. While capitalist-imperialism also does this, it is a secondary feature. Its primary role is to extract value. Fascism is made to kill progress. This is why it is so much more damaging - not measured in body count, brutality… but in its harmfulness to our cause.

    It is likely they do have links to ukronazis. The shooter wore a swastika for crying out loud. That said any story other than one of how the shooter is a symptom of the projected “”“Russian nazi problem”“” will be suppressed in Western media.



  • Nonsense. The democracy is a democracy - albeit one that listens only to the bourgeoisie. A thing is not in its entirety wholly bad nor wholly good. Such an outlook is a idealistic one. Bourgeois democracy is good in comparison to fascist authoritarianism. We support it against such an alternative. It is unacceptable next to a proletarian dictatorship. In such a contradiction we will always support the latter option. The present issue however is not between a proletarian dictatorship and a bourgeois democracy. It is between a bourgeois democracy and a fascist dictatorship. In such a contradiction as we have here I support the imperfect democracy.
