Luxembourg is listed as left deviationist on prolewiki for a reason. Russia is not imperialist as their capital isnt monopolized enough for it to push exporting itself afaik. They’re still capitalist but currently they are supporting the antiimperialist struggle from my pov.

Pretty sure that people in china will mostly be okay. Even if the us would start nuclear war, i bet china has some anti icbm measures in place nobody knows about. They are so many years ahead in basically everything, this seems like an obvious possibility to prepare for.

I might be wrong here but from the bourgois media i used to consume at the start of the conflict, the propaganda is what pushes people towards this. Its not inherent russophobia or bloodthirst, it is a trained response, same as “leftists” answering with a stream of one word responses like “weegurs!” “gulags!” “holodomor!”

They have zero idea what it means, have read zero history, have invested zero thought. What they have is been blasted over the airwaves with transmissions from the reichspropagandaministry and they salivate when the bell is rung.

Again, that is my personal impression on the ground. No idea if any theory or science disproves it. For me it sounds doable.

Its still hard to see him go full Adolf now. Its still surreal to see play out what most commies said will happen.

How do the comrades from the countries view this? Are there any words from communist parties in the respective places?

Purely from those three countries being capitalist, it doesnt read like the best idea but then i have zero information about reality on the ground.

From the article it reads very complex and without further knowledge, i cant see a definite outcome for this. I bet comrades from the regions have a better understanding of this.

Okay. What do you want to convey? I’m genuinely interested.

Yikes. You’re stepping over the line big time. You’re getting reported and going on the blocklist. I’m shocked you’re even allowed on here.

This is not the first time i am having this issue and we have had mods clear this up. Chauvinism against others is not ML, not marxist and disrespectful of comrades. Asking me to take disrespect and breaking of rule three is not an option.

I dont think you are open to having a respectful discussion in the first place so i will just disengage at this point. I made my point. I asked for a materialist discussion. Feel free to interpret into my comments whatever attack you want. And you’re conflating chauvinism and patriotism which is markedly wrong.

That is one occurence, yes. But it happens a lot because people keep trying to vilify people in countries that do horrific things. Of course these people - if they could have known - carry responsibility but its a different thing alltogether to deny them having any culture.

Fine.

I don’t think that’s a kind way to interpret what I’m saying.

I think it is an apt way to interpret what you are saying.

The romanticized history of Americans is an intentional propaganda push, and not related to some innate culture.

That is not a materialist way of looking at it imo. American people exist in their material circumstances and as humans they create culture. Their mere existence creates culture. It is fused from their own circumstances, their ancestors, their life story, etc.

The nature of the settler-colonial project necessitates giving up personal ethnic origins to become a settler.

So the black people in the us or the germans who have never understood the us settler situation did not bring any culture to the us? they dont speak a special type of german after 2 or 3 generations, same as the germans living in the rotfront village near bishkek?

Again, this is just thinly veiled chauvinism imo.

Americans have culture, same as germans have culture, same as all other people in the world. Culture is a human thing. There is not one or the other. People develop specific ways to do things, that can happen in a school, a neighborhood, a school or whatever. People create art and interact with the world around them. I cant help but see denying people their culture as chauvinist.

I think we dont disagree on the entirety of what to do. The US state needs to go, no question. I’m talking about something different. People grow up and learn a language, they develop culture. Same as people from the us or the balkans who live in germany have their own culture which is produced by their multiple different cultures and material circumstances. If someone grows up in a german neighborhood with a basketball court and plays there every day after school, develops their own groups, shares their stories. That is how humanity works. And both can be true: the colonialism, the imperialism and the lives of the people. It is chauvinist to say they dont matter. This means the black slaves and black communities building their own also need to be deleted. I think it is dogmatic to no end and just a continuation of imperialism but against different people. Again, of course the imperialist states need to go and the settler states need to be given back to the people who lived there and things need to restart but denying culture is imperialist in itself.

I dont think this is a meterialist view to be frank. The people living in a place are not their ancestors and stating that people have no culture is in itself fascist. Its one precursor to genocide so I think we should take a less chauvinist view on this.

I understand that especially in the perspective of the israely settler state, the pain runs deep and the footage from the ground is horrific to no end. This does not make it okay to for example condemn the four year old that was born in that shithole, the same is true for germany, usa and uk.

Dialectical materialism teaches us to work out the primary contradictions. The settlers in israel must be stopped but they have nuclear warheads, the remaining natives of the us settler state must be put into charge and they must decide how to destroy the imperialist us project, the same goes for the working class of germany, uk, france etc.

The us people do have a culture, i bet the israeli people in palestine do as well and as the contradictions in palestine are sharp, they must be stopped, the us settlers dont need to be stopped from taking native americans land atm but foreign land. So each situation is different and needs different solutions.

Depriving humans of their culture ist not the solution.

Those of us living in the core and main vassal states are in direct threat of death. I feel like a lot of people dont recognize it yet and are still in a denial phase of the liberal ego death mourning (becoming an actual communist imo).

Like, pretty normal germans like alina lipp would be starved to death here if she wasnt somewhere else afaik.

The bnd getting new capacities this year and being allowed to listen in on every german citizen will make it fucking dangerous. I for example have huge exposure due to posting here. I do realize it and i might take countermeasures or just emmigrate if possible as i dont think germany will fall without killing its communists first.

So we will have to talk about this soon. The more interesting convos should def happen on gzd, not openly.

Are there really zero theoretitians who have written about this? Sounds hard to believe.

As descendant of an american citizen I think there are a lot of contradictions that need explicit solving not implicit condemnation.

For example, the american colonial settlerstate is what, 250 years old? Of course, being based on genocide there is the ultimate question of what is the solution for the people born on that stolen land. On the other hand, what is their material reality? They have not decided to be born there nor can they alone cleanse the land of british settler descendants.

So what is their actual history and actual culture? That needs to be worked out and written down, then organize from there. If you strip the settler state of imperialism, mcdonalds and other usually american values, what remains? Stupid side question: was the later us full with people or are some of the stories of wagons through dusty landscapes real and did some of these people actually struggle against nature to build up something?

Because same as with some people here trying to reduce germans to their genocidal past, i feel like it is dogmatic to reduce the people who did actually leave their homes to seek a better future (even if it was erroneous) to the genocidal outcome.

Because if that were the case (please point out if i made a factual mistake) then the USians could unite on being the descendants of people seeking a better future and having to make good on that now, not by genocide but by stopping it.

Does that make sense?

I totally believe this but we are not doing enough to counter it.

Lets set up an anti wikipedia page on prolewiki where we serve these concrete proofs to people and then start spreading this information at large through leftist newspapers. We can make this bleed into rhe mainstream but we need to coordinate.

Thanks for getting back to me! :)

To be fair, the situation in germany is heating up too. There were a lot of protests after saturday, quite big ones too. And the earlies ones were only hammer and sichle flags.

The difference is, now i know that the earliest protests are the ones to go to and are the ones of the communist. The bourgois leftists are always tailist.

This is what praxis and theory teach together. Understanding such mechanics.

Yes, read the russia discussion pages. They have been given direct evidence that they are sharing misinformation and nobody did anything. That was 5 yrs ago.

Wonderful song. I still dont get why maoism is such an issue since mao himself is such a shining figure, in harsh contrast to leon nazicollaboratotski.

Does someone have a good resource on why maoism today is so dysfunctional apparently?
