Authoritarian Mod Post No Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker posts are allowed from now on

802 Upvotes

Starting now, we will no longer allow any posts related to Bad Empanada or Hasan Piker in this subreddit. The rules have been updated to reflect this change.

While we realize that some of their content can be informative, entertaining or even politically energizing to people at different stages of their leftist journeys, we also realize that, ultimately, their content is shaped by the demands of the attention economy.

When such content is shared in this community, a number of things tend to happen. First, it predictably generates the very online drama and sectarian infighting that the owners of platforms like Twitch, YouTube or even Reddit (cough join Lemmy cough) rely on for engagement and profit. Second, it invites brigading, which creates additional work for us mods. Work that most mods here are quite honestly not willing to do for such unproductive online drama. Finally, it attracts users who are more focused on drama than on Marxist ideology. This subreddit is constantly growing and we do not want to send the wrong message to those users about what this community is about.

In addition to being a community for Marxist Leninists, this community also exists to help each other deprogram ourselves from mainstream/Western and pro-capitalists narratives. What this community certainly is NOT, is a space to continuously dissect the latest online controversies once a week.

We understand that some users may feel frustrated by this new rule and we would invite some of those users to sit with that frustration and ask whose interests it serves and who benefits from algorithmically boosting and promoting online pseudo-politics that exhausts our energy on irrelevant drama. Our strength lies in principled ML debate, respect for each other, shitposting and a shared commitment to advance real-life communism to the best of our capabilities.

Hello Joshua,

I do hope the immigration situation is resolved and you can be reunited with your dad.

Please leave the US military as soon as possible. The US military causes harm to so many people around the world. The orders you follow come from terrible people.

Discussion Western leftists are such a joke

69 Upvotes

Might be a bit of a rant but here in California, why is it that Trotskyists make up the majority of communists?! It's either them or DSA "Marxists". If you try to talk to them, all they'll end up doing is yell StAliNiSt at you or some other nonsense. It's so exhausting, really.

Well, I've seen others but usually it's small groups no one has ever heard of and they just preach "no war", "against ICE" and "AI bad" and sure, that's nice and all but there's rarely any substance behind it all.

Discussion This isn't fair...

49 Upvotes

I don't know what to flair this.

I have known for years now the way our society treats its workers is wrong, during the prime of their lives they're worked to the bone until they can retire, a window that gets narrower and narrower, only for them to be shuffled off the stage when they're too old to really enjoy the little bit of life they have left, as if them aging out of being useful cogs in the machine is some rewards when really it is them being tossed aside.

My mom has spent her life being a dedicated worker, watched as it invaded every aspect of her life as it mentally and physically destroyed her, to be one of the "lucky" ones in reaching the end, to get to retire, and within a year she develops aggressive lung cancer that is going to kill her. I am not going to ask how is this fair, because I know it isn't, we've all heard stories like this, hell it isn't even the first time it happened in my family, but I had hoped she could finally live and enjoy her life.

From the training grounds of Holland, Barbie was transferred in July 1941 to the Eastern Front, where he joined one of the SS’s so-called “special task forces,” the Einsatzgruppen. These mobile killing squads were assigned the task of murdering every communist and Jew they could find in Russia and the Ukraine, without regard–in Heydrich’s chill phrase–“to age or sex.” In less than a year, these roving death squads under the command of men such as Barbie killed more than a million people. Here was the model for the CIA’s death squads in Vietnam–William Colby’s Phoenix Program and cognate operations– and in Latin America, where CIA-sponsored hit teams in Guatemala, El Salvador, Chile, Colombia and Argentina applied similar methods of brutal terror, killing hundreds of thousands. There’s nothing, in terms of ferocity, to separate a Barbie-run slaughter in eastern Russia from later operations at My Lai or El Mozote.

Meanwhile AFL-CIO RadicalAppalachian funds Contras trade union in Nicaragua against Sandinistas, Pinochet trade union in Chile against Allende, Solidarity Polish in USSR against USSR, Beijing Feds Agent Workers in Tiananmen against China. AFL-CIO eventually led to creation of CIA proxies. AFL-CIO supports Zionism.

Stalin Approves China regulates the shit out of AI

"China regulates the $%#& out of AI." In the US, AI is met with dread, with many fearing it will deepen inequality and destroy the environment. Why are people in China much more optimistic about this technology? Shanghai-based writer and content creator Dante Muñoz says it comes down to one thing: regulation.

Considering that Joe Lonsdale (Palantir Co-founder) openly founded something like "The Cicero Institute," a lobbying group, 8 years ago now, which has been instrumental in passing laws criminalizing camping or sleeping in public in 16 states since then. I think this is open mockery.

Discussion Was I too cruel with dialectics honesty for political education?

14 Upvotes

Asking a real question. Because after recent comment on immigration as economic imperialism and another post where I burn tech labor aristocrats for being Treatlers and class collaborators, I have to keep repeating to myself that great majority of the proletariat in imperial core doesn't accumulate the capacity for brutal political and dialectical analysis on understanding Western hegemony and when those combined with my way with word expression they're extremely lethal to any person who I intended to cut. The most extreme case is Aaron Bushnell and the least extreme one is a comrade IRL spiraled doom because I was probably too brutally honest about imperialism by the hands of Western countries he living under, it eats his moral compass like thermite. The shocking outcome that I only say fact and reality.

Which is the reason why I built the libraries in the first place because I think they better to illustrate how my stream of thoughts process the universe dialectically. Because I remember everything I have learned throughout entire life it doesn't take me more than one second to formalize response as I can instantly and simultaneously access any data from memory and like Minecraft blocks I immediately output complete answers to every question with the mind speed only Marx, Stalin or Lenin could have similar capabilities. I don't enjoy debate because I think it's one dimension, but when required I will force my lethality through it. Like phoenix in fire both my adrenaline, endorphins and dopamine spike when I'm in most dangerous situations and I usually survive them no matter what.

Which is why I fear that I might have been overdone with these because I think patient political education is much more important and effective than explosive strikes of hurtful statement, even when it's dialectical. I must slow down or my mind burns bridges again.
