I never understood why leftists wants high taxes for everyone, like why make the poorest pay them too 🤔
Rather tax more the richer no
We already have a progressive tax code, so we can enact policies that increase tax burden at the top
Idk it seemed during Nazi Germany and USSR occupation we had lower taxes than now, our liberal europolitician JKM has called on that
it's rather easy to do.
I'm speaking of the US of course.
not enough boi
Wtf even is this server
Ok.......
So @Deleted User in what way do you think ML could be updated to fit a first world and modern day revolution? We're talking post ww2 here
@Deleted User It depends on the kind of revolution. It must resemble a total transfer of power which resembled in the past. This would would a little different in the modern context, especially since its just not factories and land, it is also infrastructure that is connected and dependant globally. I think too much isolationism in this context would be fatal, but also there would need to be a fine balance with engaging in imperialist culture but not becoming infected with it. I mean, in terms of subsequent state building.
Interesting
Creating a very strong ideological framework that can penetrate through all other imperialist tendencies would be key. Propaganda and the seizing of idea space will make or break the continued success of compliance of the proletariat. If you look at modern ideology examples like radical islam, you can see it is possible to create strong ideological context that can succeed in whatever adverse conditions it is exposed to.
Memes are modern day propaganda
It is a only one component. At the end of the day people have to life with the idea space that is created, and memes only get you so far. A total worldview is needed.
@Deleted User There were numerous updates, this may interests you.

Looks like M3W is the furthest xd.
It is a gigantic task to theorise ML into the modern context, which is why I ultimately abandoned it.
Maybe not something one person can do?
No, one person can lead it, and this even seems to be the way theory develops, with one person doing the majority of idea forming. Again, this is the pragmatism of authoritarianism shining through.
Be clear though, revolution is everything. This is the first started point. If it is unrealistic then nothing else can follow. It is the first domino, and the hardest to achieve. After that momentum takes over.
When leftypol gave Prachandism as one of the choices of political ideologies board believes in I was like wtf is this
Unfortunately they gave away power just like the Vietnamese puppets who succeeded Khmer Rouge
Best Chad meme out there tbh
^ Lmao
Well, one person doing most of it. So that means I can have help from others 🤔
You should know.
Don't take too much advice from an Anarchist.
Yea I take everything you say with a grain of salt
But if I work with other MLs could we possibly improve the idea with us all working together?
Of course, but in my experience the dynamic of theory development tends to find a gravity in one person or a small group of persons.
>small group of persons
That's what I said
I think I can do this
Just take it one topic at a time
See you in 10-20 years.
Haha well I have time then
Give me a couple months
