When the hammer of reaction came down nationwide, they stood alone amidst the wonders they had made, unable to rally a fight against it

This right here is the crux of the issue, what actually were they Supposed to do while that very big hammer was coming down, what were the concrete steps they should've taken that wouldn't have seen them lined up and shot by the empire?

The formula for this kind of left article pamphleting seems to be a habitual habit of misidentifying a military defeat with intrinsic failure and then hiding behind vagueness when the time for useful prescriptions comes around; No plan, only critique only-throw

spoiler

We, on the contrary, are urging them to change course.

Are we gonna outline what the new course is? Nope, we'll just abruptly end the paragraph without any elaboration

It is in this spirit that rank-and-file DSA members should reorient their organization away from the reformist strategy condemned by history. With the Far Right emboldened and normalized, now is not the time for timidity.

Will we detail what this new orientation will look like and how it will be organized? NOPE, we'll just pivot immediately and put on our Captain Obvious costume and point out the far right is emboldened, damn who knew

A revolutionary perspective, on the other hand, observes an opening to raise real, substantive demands. We can look to elected leaders like Myriam Bregman from the PTS in Argentina, who fulfill their electoral responsibilities without legitimizing the right-wing extremist presidency of Javier Milei

Ok, now we're getting somewhere, a figure who can provide us with replicable strategy to combat the raise of modern fascism......

More importantly, Bregman presents the world with a model for using elected office to strengthen a revolutionary movement

Never mind, we'll just allude to the "Model" without relaying any of its achievements or it's organizational structure and the theory that underlays it

The specific timeline of recent events is shocking, and it shows the political fragility of the moment through which the Far Right can continue to consolidate without real opposition. Mamdani won the election on an affordability agenda, which, while not a socialist campaign and to the right of DSA’s program, massively strengthened that organization. That sent the wrong message to the working class that is interested in changing the status quo, telling them that they can use the Democratic Party to win. The Democratic Party followed this by massively fumbling the government shutdown, showing a stunning lack of leadership in a fight that was seriously jeopardizing a struggling Trump administration. They then scoffed at the apparent sympathies of the people by voting with Republicans to symbolically condemn socialism, a gesture as pointless as it is foolish. This is all happening at the same time as saber rattling against the Maduro government, and as a massive military escalation in the region seems poised to unleash a devastating conflict there.

A decent critique, shame we had to bury it under 8 paragraphs of vague nonsense to get to something that should've just been a twitter post

CyborgMarx ,

Is that the whole answer? I'd just call that rhetoric, and unless the left wants to end up with its own version of "Just don't be Trump" then we're gonna need something more substantial

I remember a while back on a writing forum when I mentioned that in a story I was writing that a captain quit his position because he was ordered to commit a war crime, posters got upset

I was writing a fantasy novel and in it, the captain and his troops were ordered to massacre a village (of fictional creatures); after the massacre the captain quit his position in anger and disgust; the captain had also smuggled a child out of the village. ...

CyborgMarx ,

What a bunch of fascist freaks, the soldier who's disgusted by their orders and becomes a rebel is a common trope throughout fiction that touches on war

"it takes a long time and a lot of effort" yeah almost like there are consequences for disobeying immoral orders, as if there should be stakes for characters and the choices they make, god forbid we have a plot

CyborgMarx ,

Why in the world should we wait till he has power to judge things he’s doing now?

Maybe because rhetoric isn't a direct one-to-one with policies and the power to enact them

Otherwise when dems activate their rhetorical faux-progressive mode once every decade, we should just believe them right?

CyborgMarx ,

If a branch of "Marxism" ignores imperialism, then it's neither empirical nor Marxist

For fuck's sake there are schools of liberal thought that grapple with imperialism, there's literally no excuse

Geography, the Baltic-Russian border is heavily forested and hilly and in the case of Estonia there's two giant lakes that make up 80% of the borderhttps://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/1a302718-12db-4a88-95e5-f8aab2035c06.png

Meanwhile, the wide open plains of eastern Ukraine north of Donbass lead right into the heart of Russia

These same voices overuse the phrase “AI slop” to disparage the remarkable images, documents, videos, and code that AI models produce at the touch of a button.

Yeah remarkably shit, spits

MAGA is barking up the wrong tree, young conservatives absolutely love the aesthetics of Catholicism, even if they're estranged from the formal institution

These dipshit zionist protestent dominionists are making a crucial error that will leave them further isolated, the Fuentes style fash movement doesn't want to destroy Catholicism, they want to hijack it, and even tho they don't like the Pope, going after the Pope still signals you're a RINO in service of the "Globalist Jewish Conspiracy"

It’s been a talking point for like, almost two hundred years.

https://alexanderwales.tumblr.com/post/792702088154120192/i-was-talking-to-a-friend-and-he-was-complaining ...

Screenshot of a text post by Tumblr user Alexanderwales: I was talking to a friend, and he was complaining about his job. He had this whole thing about how he’s so divorced from the work that he does, so disconnected from anything tangible, estranged from the products that he felt only tangentially involved in making. He has a boring office job and dicks around a lot, I guess. And this feeling was something that he’d been carrying with him for a long time, and he felt like no one talks about it, and it was, to him, one of the chief ills of society, the way that we have no connection to the work that we do. And he wished so much that we had a word for it, that people would talk about it. “Oh, yeah,” I said. “Marx called that alienation of labor.” “What?” he asked. “You can google that phrase, ‘alienation of labor’ and you’ll get a ton of people talking about it,” I said. “It’s been a talking point for like, almost two hundred years.” “They’re Marxists though?” he asked. “Most of them, yeah,” I said. He looked off into the distance, thinking about that. I was waiting for him to ask some questions, or for him to talk more about what he was feeling. “Well,” he said. “I guess I’ll get over it.” 5,878 notes. Posted Aug 23rd, 2025

I think that Tumblr post is fake, it smells too much like something deliberately designed to trigger online marxists

"It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on?" - Lemmy.World ( lemmy.world )

I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the ...

Lemmy has become such a racist nazi loving shithole, the reason I can't in good conscience recommend even Hexbear to anyone anymore due to proximity and association, let alone the rest of lemmy

At this point to call libertarians "utopians" is an insult to proper utopians, they're just blind lotus eaters

There's a reason Martin Luther is number three on my list of 'time travel assassinaition targets'

CyborgMarx ,

I largely subscribe to Patrick Wyman's theory that Luther was an indispensable element between the interactions of a latent reformist tendency and the printing press

Luther's decision to write in colloquial German, his doubling down at any challenge, his genuine skill at fiery rhetoric and sense of popular humor, his protection by the Prince-elector of Saxony, these are just too contingent and situational for us to make a claim of a locked-in historical outcome

The Printing Press absolutely made Luther, but he gave the reformation it's absolutist and totalizing nature and while a religious rupture in early modern Europe was inevitable, the shape, scale and nature it took definitely was not

CyborgMarx ,

He's the first dominoe that triggered the European Wars of Religion and birthed the disastrous proto-capitalist ideologies of the various early protestant sects, which form the social bedrock of many pro-capitalist ideologies later down the line

CyborgMarx ,

Even AES friendly leftists routinely ignore or seemingly never learned the specifics of the calamitous horror that was Operation Barbarossa and the subsequent Nazi occupation

Not only did Soviet Union have to rebuild and repopulate millions of square kms from scratch, but they also had to reconstruct civilization throughout Eastern Europe and beyond, all while dealing with a never-ending siege by the most powerful empire in history

This is why I've always described the Cold War as a struggle between literal post-apocalyptic societies attempting to rebuild civilization and apocalyptic empires desperate to manifest the end times

What was the point of getting rid of dunk tank if we just created another dunk tank? Didn't we have a big struggle session about that a year ago? I feel like I'm operating on outdated info

CyborgMarx OP ,

So that's what it was about? It's weird I remember these highly upvoted posts about the "toxicity" of dunk_tank and that it was better to just a have general comm for internet stuff good and bad, I guess I assumed those posts represented the bulk of the struggle session

What do chuds think they're saying when they say they have no pronouns?

I know there's probably no understanding it, but it's keeping me up at night. When prompted with "what are your pronouns?" chuds will often reply with that they have no pronouns. But then if asked if they can be referred to as he/him, they're fine with it. Plus being fine with using me/you/I etc. I've even heard them say they ...

It's not a dichotomy, it's the implication and expectation the anti-Hasan battalion keeps alluding to everytime you trash Hasan over bullshit, obviously when someone just says the take out loud it sounds real goofy af doesn't it

Meanwhile I'm back on planet earth happy there's at least one prominent leftist voice normalizing Palestinian liberation, wild how realistic expectations saves you from taking embarrassing ass takes seriously

CyborgMarx , (edited )

Trivalizing pro-Palestinian activism and for what, cause of your personnel crusade against the dipshit, cracker, maybe-a-nazi/maybe not idiot marine from Maine? Trashing leftists over sideshow flyover state election bullshit

And all that despite the fact Hasan passed your test when he the spent the whole week of that controversy bashing Platner, calling him a "unacceptable dipshit" and "incredible dumbass" and stating he wouldn't offer a kind word in his direction until Platber clarifies without doubt his position on American imperialism

No that's not good enough, cause we all have to subscribe to your idiosyncratic conspiracy theory about Manchurian candinate neo nazis and if we end up bashing AIPAC's number one media enemy then so be it right? Cause we got our priorities straight

Dutifully performing his role of sheepdogging people into the Democratic Party

Dude spends most of his streams bashing the dnc and calling the dems controlled opposition, but he's "sheepdogging" right?

and tricking people like yourself into having the shortest possible idea of where the political horizon could be

You're not looking at any poltical horizons, you're staring off into space screaming at a constellation that resembles Hasan's face

CyborgMarx ,

lmao that is like the fifth time people from your clique have spat that line out, did you all workshop that bit in a discord or something?

I read the man, I don't worship him and I definitely don't remember sectarian utopian navel gazing being among his prescriptions

CyborgMarx ,

I have issues with a liberal political commentator being held up as the beyond reproach saviour and sole hope of socialism in America.

He's not beyond reproach, just don't lie about his takes or downplay his role and reach in radicalizing millions of Americans

He's stupidly too charitable with his reactionary enemies and he relies on liberal sources for his Ukraine takes despite having the correct take about NATO in general, it's contradictory

Wow how easy was that, I didn't need to make shit up or insult other leftists over them stanning his leading role in normalizing pro-Palestinian activism

You seem confused that I am some sort of Hasan obsessive. I just don’t like opportunism (which is also why you and I keep getting into disagreements)

None of you have ever demonstrated or proved this supposed "opportunism" you all just make shit up, misrepresent his real takes or worst of all promote Destiny smear campaigns (which is the real reason I will always come down on your heads when it comes to Hasan bashing)

Every time I point this shit out you all end up having the wildest crash outs and throwing out bizarre accusations or dumb lines like "Marx is rolling in his grave"

Sorry, but when it comes to Hasan, you guys are simply delusional and negatively primed in weird parasocial ways

Hasan is an effective radicalizer, not toward liberalism, but toward socialism and his next two weeks in China is gonna demonstrate that fact for you doomers

CyborgMarx ,

Radicalizing Americans to the idea of Palestinian liberation and the Chinese century is "American liberalism", good take

But yeah your ultra larp will definitely bear fruit any day now

CyborgMarx ,

lmao I'm the one taking it too seriously?

I simply noticed a recurring pattern when it comes to certain people in certain threads repeatedly insulting me, end of story

You doofus larpers on the otherhand are the one's trashing real world praxis and pretending you're infinitely more genuine as commies because you post on a niche ML forum, like be for real

CyborgMarx ,

Disagreement is fine, but five different people who keep showing up in similar threads insulting me in the same way, because I dared to point out they're making shit up about prominent leftists, is not only the definition of people taking themselves too seriously, but also just trash behavior in general
