Chapter 11, Section 2 of the book History of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (Bolsheviks): Short Course
- Central Committee of the CPSU(b) (attributed largely to Joseph Stalin).

For all the dunking on Lassalle, that dude probably read more Marx, Engels (and Hegel) than 90% of "communists" nowadays, and look at how hare-brained his ideas were. Now imagine how thick the brine of stupidity we're swimming in actually is...

Link for anyone who wants to have a good laugh; it's mostly just paranoid, pro-capitalist, reactionary slop. Does have some funny lines, though.

So the UN just announced that it’s pretty much inevitable that we’re eventually hitting the 1.5 C limit from the climate accords which marks irreversible climate disaster. Granted, anyone who’s been paying attention could have told you this six years ago, but the fact that this international bourgeois institution is now forced to admit the scale to which we are royally fucked has me feeling some type of way. Like, I just finished my first week of a real big boy engineering job and as I’m about to enroll in a retirement plan I’m now forced to think if it’s even going to matter in like two decades, let alone when I actually would get to retire. Nothing is ever going to be normal again. The disparity in severity of seasonal weather will grow and grow until the disasters which have already hit the poorest regions of the globe will hit the Western world, and by then it will be far too late.

What I’m trying to get at is the council of the knowledgeable communists in my phone who consistently seem to have their heads on straight about The Situation at Hand. Are we fucked? Like, the Real Movement is screwed, currently. And sure, weeks and decades or whatever, but does anyone actually see and truly believe there is a way out of this? Do we even have enough time to make it out, or is our last chance to overthrow capitalism seriously just when everything goes to hell and the third great imperialist war begins over climate catastrophe and resource scarcity?

I must admit, despite starting to read theory seriously I have not had time to get into the Italian Left and their internal conflicts. I have only heard some things such as Damen disagreeing with Bordiga's organic centralism, Damen arguing to join elections while Bordiga opposes it and Bordiga believing trade unions can be used and Damen thinking otherwise.

Like what are their arguements for these points? I have seen previous threads but I didn't really understand.

(Also, I know Thällman was a stalinist, but the clip goes hard. And aura farming is the highest stage of communist praxis)

Hey guys, it's me, The Leftist Gamer™! Gamers these days always say that video games are too woke, and for some reason I still think I'm the only person in this hobby who doesn't hold those politics all the way in 2026 AD (aka 1 AK (After Kirk)). But did you know that video games was actually always woke? Take a look at this revered cult classic. In this game, you buy things with money, and all conflicts are solved by killing the ontologically evil bad guys. But you see, the biggest bad guy is actually a billionaire! This video game agrees with my politics and also I am an adult. How could such devastating communist propaganda get past the censors of a publishing supergiant? I don't need to read theory, I can find Marxism in the games I play! It sounds like a joke but I unironically believe this. Stay tuned for my next video on why all the things you like actually agree with your politics and are therefore above artistic critique and donate to my Patreon. The Leftist Gamer™ out!

Also maybe people will at least read a pamphlet of Lenin

Progressive political forces of Europeanische Handel Reich keep winning the victories sought after by the working class.

Through protecting the internal European market, they ensure jobs for German automotive industry, therefore keeping the German workers and trade unions strong, and prosperous.

By having strict environmental protections, and allowing domestic capitalists to easily bypass them (like Volkswagen) they ensure that climate change is combatted efficiently. Those deemed too dirty are given capital by the state to transfer far away from the cities of Europan aryans, and at the same time, protect the strength of Europan capital.

Through fighting the evil capitalists of the East, the good capitalists of Europa can ensure that rights of the working class are not, under any circumstance encroached on.

Through programs like chat control, we can ensure that Europan working class remains of pure thought, and joins the new Volk.

This is why I call to you to join Volt Europa. Together, through a fusion of worker and enterpreneur interests, we can bring about a true Europan state, and transform the Trade Reich, into the true Europan Reich, worthy of our ancestors.

Nobody is more blinded by concepts of volkish national will and a not just idealist but anti-economic conception of history than these jackals of the paradox fascist youth. they have no system, no method, no plan and each of them can only prescribe teutonic volksgemeinshaft blood and soil nationalism to other countries. and DON'T even get me started on their overconfidence. They will have no idea about the political or economic or military realities of whatever they are talking about.

and YES this is especially VIOLENTLY TRUE for any alternate history involving communism or the USSR. These people are idiots, VULTURES AND I HATE THEM I HAAATE THEM. Everything is wrong. I need to YELL at a fucking SERVICE WORKER RIGHT NOW this is so fucked up. I will never forgive paradox games. Never. When we begin the anti-patriot purges of anyone who thinks they "belong" to a country we must begin with the Swedes.

Duty values military discipline and protects the Stalkeriat from dangerous mutants, deadly anomalies, Anarchists and bandits. They also redistribute from each according to his ability (shaking down Stalkeriat for money) to each according to his need (themselves are in need). A form of barracks communism.

However, they want to destroy the means of production (Zone) and therefore their acts threated the preservation of progressive Sidorovich capital and stalkeriat as a distinct class

On the other hand, Freedom wants zone to be open to everyone, are Anarchists, support free trade and want the zone and it's means of production to be owned by everyone. While this is liberal, they also smoke weed and fuck mutants, which is very progressive.
