I think the problem here is defining what communism is supposed to be, or what constitutes these “political structures.”

For Marx the “political structure” stems from the mode of production, what we usually call the base. In a very shortened form, it’s the interacting between productive forces, means of production and the property regime (and all its consequences). As Capital tries to multiply itself, capitalism has shown a development of the complexity and productivity of the means of production, along with requiring workers that are able to deal with this complex production (specifically, this is dealt with by having multiple people act in unity towards a single product), in other words, developing the productive force. As capitalism develops, it accumulates property under a central command while simultaneously making it a collective tool. So, in capitalism’s specific case, we’re dealing with private property that is only used by a capacitated collective.

The developing self-consciousness and organization of this productive collective pressures the regime of private property, which will strike back violently to keep existing, in the specific form of blunting the collective organization at all costs, as well as pushing back against the superstructure reflexions of these changes (i.e. fascism). If the self-conscious productive collective is victorious, it has been through a period where: the means of production have been transformed; the productive forces have been transformed; the property regime has been transformed. Thus, we have a new mode of production, and a new “political structure.”

This is the tendency of capitalism. But notice that this assumes a more or less constant development of technology, for example. What if climate catastrophes hit too hard too fast in the coming years? Parts of civilization could be severed from eachother, and develop in different ways, depending on what exactly gets destroyed. Would an electricity-starved modern nation still develop factories as we know them? Or would property get fragmented again? What knowledge and techniques would be lost or gained? That we can’t predict.

I guess it’s because a polio breakout would spill over into Israel itself and neighbouring countries, putting huge pressure over the genocide

Let’s take a look at a comprehensive list of countries that have used nukes against others:

Based on this, we conclude that the US is less likely to use nukes against others. I’m very smart

The Zionist of Interest

There was some report a couple of years ago by some subdivision of a government agency about extremist hubs online that included this very site. It was posted here a few times back then, after work I’ll check if I saved it.

Imagine some intern getting stuck with having to parse through pits of trying to figure out what kind of terrorist activity it is encouraging

like ‘a commodity is a use-value’ or ‘a commodity is an exchange-value’

How are those contradictory? Or what other things do they contradict?

@XiJinping@hexbear.net good call

The DPRK almost got a bronze medal in gymnastics just now. Came in 4th place

Most top level federal officials get their info from our news mega, so taking hexbear down is a fundamental part of modern management of international conflicts

I’m working until late night, surely nothing interesting will happen while I’m not checking the thread

Left-wing candidates in all of Latin America have been accused of electoral fraud in the same way for the past what, decade? And people still fucking fall for it. Even fucking Biden got hit with that card. Give me a break, this shit is so obvious.

Is this finally the end point of liberal democracy? Capitalist-owned social media makes it so that a fascist international can promptly turn the tides on any more or less leftist candidate in any country, and claiming fraud is clearly their way forward. How the hell does anyone believe in liberal democracy when social media is a thing?

Our cool, smart regulatory framework, your bloated, predatory regulations

“unburdened by what has been” is fundamentally anti-marxist btw

Fascist states can have little a two front war, as a treat

I think these current wars will possibly expose the tendency of world economy going forward.

Since WWII, american capital has developed on the destruction of lesser economies so that land, resources and labor would be taken over by american companies. This has become the condition for the maintenance and perpetuation of this specific form of capital.

But nowadays, struggling economies tend to turn towards not american companies, but Chinese ones. This means that the precondition for american capital is turning into the precondition of Chinese capital. Every time america tries to expand, it expands China instead or along with it.

The interesting thing is that the Chinese strategy for growing further is way different: being an industrial economy, it depends on the other nation being able to acquire their industrial production. In other words, it depends on that nation developing a functioning industry and economy to absorb Chinese products into it, which not only strengthens China, but further weakens the misery-dependent american capital.

On the other hand, that means america will need increasingly devastating wars and coups to keep going.

It’s always just leftists who aren’t western brand “leftists”, i.e. completely averse to action and change.

Libs will demonize all forms of action and analysis of oppression and then wonder why things just keep getting worse despite them doing a lot of useless, performative things. In the lack of a correct theory, it always comes down to “it’s those damn Asians!!!”

It also takes much less time and effort to create content for a foum compared to a video platform, that might interfere when trying to build a community from the ground up
