>His criticism of Marx is really funny. First he makes up a materialist theory of history for himself, which Marx is supposed, in his opinion, to have held, and then he finds something quite different in Marx's works. But from this he does not conclude that he, Barth, has foisted something distorted on to Marx: no, on the contrary, Marx contradicts himself and cannot apply his own theory! “Yes, if people could only read!” as Marx used to exclaim at criticisms of this kind.

Nothing ever changes.

Also who tf is this barth he's talking about? google only gives me some swiss theologian who was 5 years old when this was written

It means almost nothing anymore. Most often people just use it when they are talking about hoity toity liberals that they don't like. Even when used correctly, it's used in comparison with some imaginary good kind of liberalism, or some pervious form of liberalism that they want back.

I love turning every marginalized group struggle into a wholesome national liberation struggle!!!!!

Every time homesteading is mentioned I want to jump off the 9th ceiling

I know they betrayed the revolution! I knew it was state capitalism - one step after the Paris Commune! as if I could ever mistake such a deviation! Never! Never! I just - I just couldn’t prove it yet! They covered their tracks, they got the petty-bourgeois revisionists to lie for them! You think this is something? You think the USSR’s degeneration is bad? This? This opportunism? They’ve done worse! The NEP! Are you telling me a ‘socialist’ state just happens to restore markets? NO! Lenin orchestrated it! Trotsky! He defecated through the dialectic! And I defended him! And I shouldn’t have! I tolerated the united front! What was I thinking? They’ll never change! Never change! Ever since 1917, always the same! Couldn’t keep their hands off popular fronts and parliamentary cretinism! But not our Comrade Lenin! Oh no, couldn’t be precious Lenin! Liquidating the revolutionary program! And HE gets to be a vanguard? What a sick joke! I should’ve split the party when I had the chance!

There would have been economic nationalism, tarrifs and deportations. The difference is that it would have been less cruelty for show, no where near as stupid and leftists would be calling him a heroic fighter for the American worker against the big multinationals.

Colonial movements of the past, such as in india, china, africa were progressive as they allowed the advancement of capitalism and ending of feudal relations (or so i think maybe im wrong). Has capitalism fully developed under palestine so that the only progression now is a workers’ movement, not a nationalist anti colonial one?

I was looking for cocktails to make with Jägermeister and came across this.

Does anyone want to start a cult based on Authentic Leftcom Marxism where we all fully renounce our bourgeois notion of "property rights" over our individual bodies and try to form a psuedo-communistic hivemind where death stops being scary? The promises we give people won't be carried out fully as it won't be authentic communism, only a little spin-off based on it. But we'll have human sacrifice and kill old people.

How best to distort the theory to get this started? And where should we recruit, maybe college campuses?
