"Politics are the art of preventing people from meddling in what concerns them." -Valéry

Clever

it's not exactly apathy it's just debating the definition of fascism for the 100th time makes no sense. when people get spooked they form in groups around whatever shit. nation makes sense because it's been a thing recently. race makes sense because skin color is obvious. boom. i just feel like it's more evolutionary psych than "material conditions" phrased that way seems to me drawing to many distinctions

i mean left people do the in group thing too. hence i think it makes more sense to look at patterns that cut across political ideologies than to focus on defining the "bad" ones

I semi-agree on that statement

also i just hate how ppl are like "fascism is back!" it's like it's 90 years later, shit is all pomo and all, everything is recycled.

in my utopia people would still be fucking mean to each other it's just that it wouldn't inflict bodily harm and everyone would have "enough." but i mean when i think about humans going on for 1M years I feel like the goal is to find non-destructive ways for us to humiliate each other since we love it so much

It's probably just millenialls or SJWs

Overreacting and making a huge network of chain

That generally they try to spread these non-sense just so they can up their stance.

i mean shit makes sense. people grasp for the concepts that seem to match

Which they fail to do so miserably and is backfiring.

and neologisms are confusism

we just add neo- and post- to shit because history has just kept going from the relatively euclidean early 20th century

yeah and then people blame other people for the fact that the world doesn't fit their idealist box

Wouldn't you blame this affair because of post-modernisms?

With all these relativist shit that makes everything even more cluster and perplexed than ever?

for example many westerners were raised to think we had just won history and our place can never be challenged. like what that's retarded. now they get mad at others because they don't just get to be comfortable lambo

I don't believe in relativism because that implies people have their individual/group truth, which I would also deny them

comfy liberal post-modernists

I would be more with camus, the world is absurd and indifferent to us that's just how it is

Scientific socialism won't get big until economic conditions develop in the West

I mean everyone wishes for the good old days when people "knew what was what" but it led to war because people *have never agreed on that*

build co-ops in the west or move to socialist countries in the mean time

OR just instigate revolutions in third worlds

talking theory won't win folks over to socialism

Cause they're more ripe for one

Or you can help accelarate capitalism

by being a capitalist

That's why I kinda cheered when Trump was voted, because it is shown that liberalism is failing en masse with their attempts.

i mean there's no line between theory and culture

Yes. And help legitimiate People's Wars in the third world.

and politics for that matter

it's all narratives, and narratives rely on phantom concepts. but they stick because of something beyond words, the satisfaction you get from being a part

It is exciting to watch doofuses like Musk and Trump accelerate everything

But the Rate of Profit will continue to decline and the building of Socialism will continue in certain bastions around the world. It will happen with or without billionaires tinkering around.

Western liberals have always the tendency to acclaim themselves as radicals.

And yet they've divided the left even furtheuggle, with their emphasis on reformation or IDPOL > Class str

I think a big problem is that the rulers are afraid of letting go because they will be punished. I support Camus in calling for the global abolition of the death pentalty

life in prison is on the table obvi

but I fear nuclear war to prevent socialism when there's no need for that
