like first frso then the psl and like why does this keep happening? like its either a trotskyite, pseudo trotskyite, nazbol, patsoc, or a maoist group(all have rape problems), a hoxhaist group(very hesitant on these groups asa i dont her much from them and theyre hoxhaists and jerk off to portraits of stalin. granted i do too but they do it in a revisionist way), cpusa(barely relevant lmao) and acp(self explanatory), or the dsa(socdems mostly) or green party(tf do they even do). atp im prolly jus gonna keep studying and when my life allows me to join a local queerlib/feminist/blacklib/general charity org in my area because holy shit party leaders need not more marxist theory but a book on consent.

Essentially, I was the attacker, I was going to a hill to deny it from the shogun's forces, found the reinforcements, crushed them, then when I went to the main army, their general charged at me for some reason, like alone, got engulfed, ate shit and died without doing anything, then the rest of the army imploded. shit lasted like 5 minutes tops

bear with me, allow me to enumerate how

first, dialectically, trumps dialectics are on par with mao's. The dialectical dialeticality of campaigning as an america first ultranationalist fascist yet simultaneously weakening the imperial core from within. How dialectically dialectical! How confradictory! This is exactly what Comrade Mao said would happen in On Contradiction! Those who disagree need to read Hegel.

second, materially, trump is materially materializing the material conditions(aka fucking up the economy and such) to allow us to VOTE in the 2028 and 2026 elections! Materially analyzing this, my position is infallible and obvious Carlos Marxos wouldve gotten to my exact beliefs.

thirdly, trump is clearly a follower of left hegellian-marxist-engelsist-lassallean-mussolinist-leninist-stalinist-bordigist-maoist-dengism. This is because he evidently has mastery over the dialectics, is creating the material conditions to allow us Lassalleans to vote our dearest party, the communist party of the united states of america(or as its formally known the democrats) into offic efor four years so they fan complete the transition to communism(but with commodities!) as comrade trump has already laid the socialist foundation by his socialist acts. For one, fighting bourgeois states using imperialism, a dialectical inversion. Originally, imperialism was capitalist, but our socialist society of america uses imperialism to fight off bourgeois capitalists in Iran and Gaza for example whilst protecting our fellow socialist allies of Israel. For two, his mastery of Dengism as is evident by the existence of commodities and billionaires and markets but in a national bourgeois form truly show his knowledge of theory. Those visits to Little Saint James were soley to engage in praxis for Dengist-Maoism, not anything else like the bourgeois media wants to tell you. And if you dont believe me, read Mao's book 'On New Democracy' page 57, he explicitly says says

 'Therefore, the proletariat, the peasantry, the intelligentsia and the other sections of the petty bourgeoisie undoubtedly constitute the basic forces determining China's fate. These classes, some already awakened and others in the process of awakening, will necessarily become the basic components of the state and governmental structure in the democratic republic of China, with the proletariat as the leading force. The Chinese democratic republic which we desire to establish now must be a democratic republic under the joint dictatorship of all anti-imperialist and anti-feudal people led by the proletariat, that is, a new-democratic republic, a republic of the genuinely revolutionary new Three People's Principles with their Three Great Policies.

This new-democratic republic will be different from the old European-American form of capitalist republic under bourgeois dictatorship, which is the old democratic form and already out of date. On the other hand, it will also be different from the socialist republic of the Soviet type under the dictatorship of the proletariat which is already flourishing in the U.S.S.R., and which, moreover, will be established in all the capitalist countries and will undoubtedly become the dominant form of state and governmental structure in all the industrially advanced countries. However, for a certain historical period, this form is not suitable for the revolutions in the colonial and semi-colonial countries. During this period, therefore, a third form of state must be adopted in the revolutions of all colonial and semi-colonial countries, namely, the new-democratic republic. This form suits a certain historical period and is therefore transitional; nevertheless, it is a form which is necessary and cannot be dispensed with.' 

Its often misunderstood that Mao included the USA when he said European-American, our dear Chairman forsaw the rise of Trump through dialectics and when he said that he meant every country besides the USA. Now, back to what I was saying, Comrade Trump actively promotes new democracy via facilitating class cooperation to build socialism with his program MAGA, another misunderstanding is that MAGA is reactionary. It isnt. It is reactionary-progressive. Its reactionary character is that it wants to revert America to the 1900s, however, the progressive character is the foundational new democracy, dengism, anti imperialism, democratic centralism, aim for communism, and its reversion of America to the mid 1900s is actually dialectically progressive as its more a coded message. Mao won in 1949 so to speak, and as Trump wants the 50s, which is only 1-10 years removed from 1949, thus, using materially dialectical analysis, if Trump's plan works out, in 1-10 years, we will get communism. Plus, as the USA is a semi colonial-colonial country as per my analysis, it aligns with Mao's wisdom perfectly!

Trumpism's dengist-lassallean characteristics comes into play as Comrade Trump believes labor is the source of all wealth as Lassalle did. Later, Marx confirmed this. '1. “Labor is the source of all wealth and all culture, and since useful labor

is possible only in society and through society, the proceeds of labor

belong undiminished with equal right to all members of society.”

First Part of the Paragraph: “Labor is the source of all wealth and all culture.”

Labor is [....] the source of all wealth.' as is evident in Marx's critique of Gotha.

Trump's Bordigist characteristics also appear in his rejection of what revisionists call AES. His aggression towards China shows this. You kay remember that I said America is AES. It is. However, Bordigists reject AES. You need to remember the dialectics at play here, so really its not contradictory.

Lastly, he won power by voting with the petit bourgeois(which are basically proles as Engels said one time) at his back. Plus, Mao said all power is derived from voting. Hes even more Maoist than I originally thought! He won with popular support! Dialectical!

Trumpism is a higher stage of Maoism! Which itself is the highest stage of Marxism Leninism!  All those who dare to disagree with my analysis need to read more Lassalle and Hegel. Only then will you grasp the dialectical brilliance Comrade Trump at play here. From his praxis, to his theory(the art of the deal), he is a true comrade. We need more critical support to our American Lenin!

Mostly asking since anytime marx starts bringing up empirical evidence when it snot a hypothetical or something I just skim that. Usually no annotations. Mostly since i justify myself as being here for the theory really and not conditions in england in the 1800s. For context im on page 831, int he chapter called the general law of capitalist accumualtion.

like i understand why you'd want to support iran against the US for example but unironically wtf is the point? i get it if we're actually running a country but we're not. leftists in general are too small a minority in western countries to do much, we're in the 1905-1916 stage the Bolsheviks were in as an equivalent. it unironically looks like evangelical thoughts and prayers while admitting the thing youre sending your thoughts and prayers to have flaws. plus the amount of arguments i see about who to and to not support(usually on russia) is far too many.

that being said we need more thoughts and prayers critical support to comrade putin /s.

i am 2 pages into the Old man and The Sea.

i hate hemmingway. his prose bores my eyes into my skull, my eyes driving themselves from my cranium after gaining sentence from just how horrific it was. 

I now burn effigies of hemmingway each night in a satantic ritual to the Blood God, in hopes that hemmingways soul is reaped from hell to be sent to more eternal suffering worse than hell! Super hell! Hell + 1! 

I have sacrificed dozens of animals and people in this task in demonic, forbidden black magic rituals! No cost too great to stop Hemmingway!

Oh Pynchon! Oh Joyce! I now understand that you werent trying to be hard but that you had a vision of hemmingway and tried to save humanity from that terrible fate!

I understand that Hitler, Epstein, Ted Bundy, and other murderers did what they did not out of any claimed reason but because they read Hemmingway!

Hemmingway came back from the dead and fucked my wife infront of me and made me swallow his cum too! Somehow I got pregnant! Im a man!

Hemmingway burned my house down and stole my airfryer!

Hemmingway sold my three young children to the league of satanic pedophiles!

We need to burn Hemmingway's books as theyre inherently evil!

Even one page can drive the sanest man crazy as has occurred to myself as I have developed every personality and psychotic and mood disorder in the DSM V as a result of Hemmingway! That fiendish devil! That evildoer ne'er do well! That Cassius!

I HATE HEMMINGWAY! I WONT EVEN GIVE HIM THE GIFT OF SPELLING!

Ive been using it sometimes and everytime I go ont here its tone just feels weird. I cant explain why but the entire site feels like its made by MLs who are simultaneously white saviors, yet also being trotskyists who made the site to make MLs look bad. Like you just have to read a few articles for yourself on other non ML ideologies and figures in contrast to the page on ML and marx and engels and such just to get the vibe. Very arbitrary pages on random things too. I dont even see it mentioned often by MLs despite the site being FOR them. Keep in kind im an ML and the entire site just feels offputting in a way. I didn't get this effect when I tried lemmygrad. So is prolewiki legit and why is it written that way?

on chap 16 of the penguin translation and like who was the target audience here? Cuz like bro was putting fucking ancient greek in the footnotes n shit then hes putting references toother prominent political economists and philosophers like Mill and Ricardo and like no damn worker was readin all those people. Plus its a yapfest overall until you learn to pick out the useful info and the first 4 chapters are notoriously hard so unironically and I mean this in good faith with marx and engels as my witness who was this written for?

this is an actual question. mostly asking cuz yall like the stv

Is it unavoidable? Its kinda annoying since like why dont they just eat food? They cant buy more? Or farm more? Was the environment collapsing or something? What're the preconditons to the hungry 40s?

Im a straight, heterosexual marxist but everytime I try to read any of Hegels work, my mind drifts to kissing and engaging in intimate activity with people of the same sex. Fantasing about unveiling the treasurses under the clothes, in the pants, in their mouth, kissing them passionately and licking them gently, exploring every inch of the body. Letting myself be explored. Learning stuff Ive never known about me or my partner beforehand. My genetalia feels really tingly whenever I read hegel too. I do not know why this happens. This doesnt happen when I read any marxists., However, everytime I engage with Hegel, I feel strange feeling I've never felt before. I keep fantasting and fanatsing, the fantasies growing lewder by the minute. I do not knopw why this keeps happening. Has this happened to anyone else? The only similar feeling is whenever I play New Vegas and really wanna change my character to a boy for some reason even though i started as a girl. I only read Hegel because lenin said I wont get Capital if I dont ger hegel. Was this Lenins plan all along? To turn me gay? Im so confused, a whirlwind of emotions are flowing through me justlike the whirlwind of lewd images I think of. How can I ever face my friends without thinking of kissing them? How queer of an experience this all is!

Curious about whats in it at all. I plan to join in a few years as I wanna finish other parts of my life first but I do still have time for theory. Ive already read and annotated the Manifesto, Utopian and Scientific, Principles, Gotha Programme, and am working through Kapital(300 pages ins o far. yay), Capitalism in Russia, and Reform or revolution. (for context I intend to continue reading until(in no probable order except i finish Marx and engels and lenin and Luxemburg before anything else)I finish all 3 parts of capital, grundrisee, orgin of family, 18th brumiaire, 1844 manuscripts, Wage-Labour and Capital and Value, Price, and Profit, what is to be done, state and revolution, mass strike, leninism vs marxism, some trotsky, mao's red books, some stalin, some guevera, prison notebooks, blackshirts and the reds, bordigas works, essential juche works, some ho chi minh, settlers, poverty of philosophy, feurbacht, german ideology, and also some non marxist works like hegel and mill and bentham and technocracy and kant and the greeks(actually reading republic now.) and machiavelli and actual history books on revolutions.) just wanted to know whats in the PSLs course and if i'd be better to just get my life together and join the PSL so I can take their programme over my self study. Also curious as to lenght, if it has a cost, typical lessons.

I just despise listening. None of the content I like is on level in french(TL), the stuff on level is uninteresting to me, and listening is just very boring when you comprehend not 100% of it. Reading is fine but Listening is just the hardest skill for me. Any advice on how to make listening less terrible outside of just pushing through and hoping something happens?

i feel my bones ripping my flesh from the inside each time i listening. its crying to be free. my body is a prison. my mind enslaved to listen. i crave relief, of any kind form the eternal hellhole. i am unable to cry out in agony as i live with others. i have no good ears, and i must listen.

My version lacks page numbers but the full text is "But if, upon this showing, division into classes has a certain historical justification, it has this only for a given period, only under given social conditions. It was based upon the insufficiency of production. It will be swept away by the complete development of modern productive forces. And, in fact, the abolition of classes in society presupposes a degree of historical evolution at which the existence, not simply of this or that particular ruling class, but of any ruling class at all, and, therefore, the existence of class distinction itself, has become a obsolete anachronism. It presupposes, therefore, the development of production carried out to a degree at which appropriation of the means of production and of the products, and, with this, of political domination, of the monopoly of culture, and of intellectual leadership by a particular class of society, has become not only superfluous but economically, politically, intellectually, a hindrance to development.". Been re reading this over and over and still cannot seem to parse what Engels is saying here. Is he in support of it? Opposed? Difficult to tell with how he writes.

reading utopian and scientific and got to the page where engels was dissing the failed societies of reason(my book has no page numbers so i cant say exactly where) and this line really confused me. The entire paragraph for context is "The number of crimes increased from year to year. Formerly, the feudal vices had openly stalked about in broad daylight; though not eradicated, they were now at any rate thrust into the background. In their stead, the bourgeoise vices, hitherto practiced in secret, began to blossom more luxuriantly. Trade became to a greater and greater extent cheating. The fraternity of the revolutionary motto was realized in the chicanery and rivalries of the battle of competition. Oppression by force was replaced by corruption; the sword, as the first social lever, by gold. The right of the first night was transferred from feudal lords to bourgeoise manufacturers." its been like three days and i cannot figure out for the life of me what this jolly, buff, handsome, sharp jawline having, masculine, bearded, intelligent, witty, heroic, beautiful, dreamy, and sociable german guy was saying in that trade line. i understood the 250 pages of Capital vol 1 ive read better than this line. So please, comrades, aid me because what was he tryna to say?
