Putnam Study debunking
From https://www.businessinsider.com/immigration-myths-open-us-borders-debunked-2018-8?op=1#myth-3-they-will-undermine-social-cohesion-3
It looked like a distinctly inconvenient truth, when the famous sociologist Robert Putnam conducted a study in 2000 which revealed that diversity undermines cohesion in communities. Specifically, he found that it makes people less trustful of each other and less inclined to form friendships or do voluntary work. Basically, as Putnam concluded on the basis of a staggering 30,000 interviews, it makes them "pull in like a turtle."

Shocked, he put off releasing his findings for years. When they were finally published in 2007, the effect was — predictably — akin to dropping a bombshell. Hailed as one of the most influential sociological studies of the century, Putnam's research was cited in countless newspapers and reports, and up until this very day he's the go­to source for politicians who doubt the benefits of a multicultural society.

There's only one problem. Putnam's findings were debunked years ago.

A later retrospective analysis of 90 studies found no correlation whatsoever between diversity and social cohesion. Not only that, as sociologists Maria Abascal at Princeton University and Delia Baldassarri at New York University discovered, Putnam had made a critical error. He hadn't taken account of the fact that African Americans and Latinos report lower levels of trust, regardless of where they live. When you adjust for this, Putnam's shocking discovery crumbles to dust.

So, if diversity isn't to blame for the lack of cohesion in modern­ day society, what is? The answer is simple: poverty, unemployment, and discrimination. "It is not the diversity of a community that undermines trust," conclude Abascaland Baldassarri, "but rather the disadvantages that people in diverse communities face."

> Ziller (2015) analyzed changes in trust in 22 European countries between the years 2002 and 2010. Cross-sectionally, nations with higher levels of ethnic diversity and non-Western immigrants had lower levels of trust. However, changes in these variables did not predict changes in trust over time.

>Longitudinal changes in general immigration levels did, suggesting an effect of immigrants qua immigrants, regardless of race. However, this effect was only negative when the economy was not growing. At levels of economic growth above zero, the effect of immigrants on trust was positive and statistically insignificant.

>Dincer (2011) calculated racial diversity based on 6 ancestry categories. Diversity was found to have a U shaped relationship with trust, with trust peaking when diversity equals .34.Other variables were found to have a linear relationship with trust. A 10% increase in the proportion of people with college degrees predicted a 10% increase in the proportion of people who have a high level of trust. A 10% decrease in income inequality predicted a 15% increase in trust. Etc.

So one of the main reasons /pol/tards are so resistant to Marxist ideas is the fact that they believe in race realism and similar "scientific" ideas. I will attempt to debunk three of the most crucial race realist tenets in this thread.

a. Ethnic diversity(With the same culture even) causes societal trust to decline.
b. Blacks are genetically predisposed to commit more crimes.
c. There is a genetic IQ gap between races.

A: There are two types of diversity
-Diversity of culture and language
-Diversity of race
>It is found that diversity of race when culture and language are the same does not effect trust significantly(2% difference at most) thus proving Civic nationalists correct.

>Diversity of culture and race causes a minor but significant decline in trust, however the effect is not seen in a good economy but a bad one. Also poverty still has a greater effect on trust than even this kind of diversity.

Source:https://leftypol.org/edu/res/5576.html#5579

B. Now it is true that in the USA race is a stronger predictor of criminality than poverty. However single motherhood is another factor which is stronger than race.
>Also the racial crime gap between Hispanics and whites seem to have closed" Declines in disparities were more pronounced when considering jail inmates of both sexes between 2005 and 2018 with the ratio of disparity per capita declining from 4.8 to 3.2 between blacks and non-Hispanic whites and 1.6 to 1.0 between Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites.[79] "
>Another factor is inequality which drives homicide rates.
>over a 20-year period, the American states that had the greatest inequality in visible expenditure—spending on items such as clothing, jewellery, cars, and eating out—also suffered the most from violent crime. So if you’ve got it, don’t flaunt it—especially if your neighbours don’t have it as well.

However let us look at other countries.
>In Brazil the Non-white homicide rate is double that of the white rate.
>But their poverty rate is also double that of whites.

Finally the UNDOC(UN department on drugs and crime) statistics completely dismantles this argument.
The Homicide rate of Africa as a whole is 13.5

>However if we look at poor countries without any inequality or active conflicts we see that the homicide rate is ridiculously low, Dirt poor countries like Malawi, Benin, Burkina Faso, Liberia, Sao tome and Principe, Guinea and Guinea-Bissau have rates between 1-3.


>The countries which have high homicide rates in Africa are horribly unequal like S.Africa and friends or have an active conflict going on like CAR or the DRC or Mali.


>Finally we have the middle countries with rates between 3-8? Good rates but still slightly uncomfortable, the Horn of Africa all seem to share maybe it's due to the low-intensity conflict that is there or maybe something else.

C. I've looked into this topic, and It's too complex for me to unravel, however I would like to point a few things out.

>The famous IQ map of the world I posted Is wrong.

>The famous IQ researcher Richard Lynn who made the map used the IQ of mentally retarded children in spain to come up with the numbers for E.Guinea, and many other such "mistakes"(Probably deliberate).
>Another famous IQ researcher Eysenck has had his papers retracted or accepting money from tobacco companies I think.
>But In the end this topic requires many more lines than what I'm capable of.

<A persons IQ can fluctuate by 13 points in a few months thanks to wealth and poverty.


>In a series of experiments, the researchers found that pressing financial concerns had an immediate impact on the ability of low-income individuals to perform on common cognitive and logic tests. On average, a person preoccupied with money problems exhibited a drop in cognitive function similar to a 13-point dip in IQ, or the loss of an entire night’s sleep.


>To better gauge the influence of poverty in natural contexts, between 2010 and 2011 the researchers also tested 464 sugarcane farmers in India who rely on the annual harvest for at least 60 percent of their income. Because sugarcane harvests occur once a year, these are farmers who find themselves rich after harvest and poor before it. Each farmer was given the same tests before and after the harvest, and performed better on both tests post-harvest compared to pre-harvest.

I'm a Socialist who was a right-winger once, and I would like to offer a powerful set of arguments against Ethnic nationalism grounded in historical materialism. Ethnic nationalism or fascism today is traditionalist, looking back to the past in a cowering fashion, as opposed to yesteryears fascists especially the Italian fascists who were modernist and futuristic and this age's communists who are futuristic and forward looking. This point will be crucial.
CRISPR: One of the fundamental principles undergirding ethnic nationalism is people with genetic affinity forming a close knit community. Ethnic nationalism stresses the role, importance and immutability of genetics. However here the liberal cliché wrong side of history holds true, with the advancement of gene editing technology ,Ethnic nationalism becomes Outdated as genetics become more fluid and less important.
Your enemy and Internationalism: Most people here are red pilled on the fact that International Capitalism is their enemy and it's least harmful effects(Yes least). But thus the conclusion should be reached that to destroy international capitalism an effort must be international. Even if the whole of Britain became an Ethnostate, it would be doomed if capitalism would be allowed to continue in the rest of the world, why?(for more info visit r/collapse)
The Fate of merry England: Even if England were to become a "Socialist" Ethnostate tomorrow it would be doomed in 80 years if capitalism in the whole earth did not stop and the whole of Europe turned into tundra and taiga thanks to the failure of the Gulf stream due to climate change. If England and Europe are to be saved action would have to be taken on an international scale.
An era of disturbance: This is an era of reaction, reaction to the ravages of neoliberal capitalism in Europe the Far-right might rise while in Latinoamerica the Left is rising, there is a Marxist-Leninist predicted to win the elections in Peru and in Chile Communist party won a victory and will take a prominent role in drafting it's constitution. In the USA it looks like there will be civil unrest between the emerging Left(Socialists and Communists) and the right(ethnic nationalists) in which the left will probably prevail .

Maybe because it's a bad fucking idea to make untested drugs globally enforced? Look up the CDC website and find the VAERS data base. Vaccine Adverse Effects Reporting System. It’s climbing over 6300 deaths as a result of the covid19 experimental vaccine. And it’s estimated that it only captures between 1 and 10% of adverse effects and deaths. So you could conservatively multiply that number by 10. To contrast with other approved vaccines…. that’s more deaths and adverse effects than all other vaccines combined in the last 30 years. The FDA and CDC themselves noted numerous extreme and fatal symptoms from the vaccine but were pressured by the government and corporations to accept the drugs.

These vaccines are not made to nor do they prevent transmission, as was repeatedly said by the manufacturers, the CDC, NHS and Dr. Fauci. They only reduce it somewhat but not enough (up to 30%), depending on circumstances. Not so much with new variants. UK and IL reports from last week have the same conclusions.
According last week's AAP report (p.20), over 18 months a total of 335 children deaths with Covid out of 4 million official cases (however the 4 million may actually be exaggerated givene that hospitals have economic incentive - insurance money - to label anyone dead as a covid victim rather than a less profitable cause of death).
Even taking the 4 million at face value, that's 1/2 the 600+ annual child deaths from influenza

Not permitting someone to work in your home country is coercion (that's kind of a big deal when pondering the most basic medical ethics) While risks are officially "low", it is already known they're far from zero, and long term effects are unknown. You are talking forcing someone take a new kind of drug for which there is absolutely no long term safety data, in animals or humans. All produced by companies with long histories of unethical medical practices, and who are protected on a federal (and now global) level from any and all attempts to sue them in court for injury and death caused by their products. I won't even go into how the US government repeatedly spread Syphilis and radiation poisoning to people by claiming mandatory vaccines - (Tuskegee anyone?).

As a side note I found this post while scrolling a user named https://www.reddit.com/user/swordsaintzero/ out of a morbid curiosity of his acidic and legitimately toxic posts.

Apparently this guy is a long-winded smart-ass who thinks being constantly condescending and writing lengthy diatribes makes him smart… unfortunately reddit mods seem to agree. I'd think he was a bot (because he posts nearly everywhere) but I have yet to see an A.I. pull off such a good impression of a snooty 1990s college professor. Something of note is that at least one of their posts is a long anecdotal rant about how farmers and city boys (workers) are all entitled retards and that liberalism is the best thing ever! - or something along those lines. The sheer nose-raised condescension and utter disregard for the knowledge and thoughts (and anecdotes) of others is ironic beyond belief, considering that this same user constantly berates people for stating their experiences and belittles and dismisses anyone's concerns or thoughts.

TL;DR: Don't be like this scunt; In the words of a good man, "Everyone you ever meet has a full life worth of experiences, teachings, and fears that are all different from yours. No one fears something for "no reason", but ignoring the reason for their fear is a sure-fire way to make sure they keep fearing it."

While I'm glad the mods appreciated by comment I've had the opportunity to talk with some more non-liberal trans people and read comments and social media of trans people.

A good comment from one of these people in regards to "transphobia" and other such things is the following:
>Most people don't hate women or minorities, they just hate the (overbearing) activists
>The majority of people don't hate the black family living in the South Side of Chicago just doing their part to try and get by, they hate the jerk activists who razed a bunch of small businesses to the ground because they could.*
>People don't hate the woman who was abused by her ex-husband and is trying to move forward with her life, people hate the rude activists who hate men and blame anything and everything wrong in their lives on some vague "patriarchy".
>People don't hate the 20-year-old transgender person who struggled with gender identity disorder and is now living a happy life with their new identity, people hate the militant transgender activists with crappy personalities and a screwed-up idea of social justice.
>Some people are jerks and are worthy of our rage. Just make sure that we are directing your rage at the right people.
Also in regards to 'trans kids'
>liberal idealogue: "Do you feel like you're a boy or a girl?"
<5 year old kid with little to no conception of sexuality: "I don't know"
>lib idealogue: "OK that means you're non binary and probably trans"
So-called activists forget that minority people are individuals, not voting blocks. You can’t lump gays in with Blacks and Muslims and say everything is hunky dory because “look at how marginalized they all are!” It’s this morbid fetish activists have of either simplifying groups or complicating individuals’ identities for the sake of power.

*As a comment on this comment, before people go batshit about it being action or whatnot - the burning of buildings during the BLM protests and the raiding of small businesses (not talking about Target here) were wholly uncalled for, it was just smashing shit for the sake of it, and then using a cry of "revolution" to justify themselves, this is an inherent part of any social movement and the more liberal and capitalist-funded a movement may be, the more likely this will occur. The Bolshevik communists despite their estrangement from capitalism did have groups and members engaging in pointless vandalism and banditry but the Communist movement did not leave these people uncriticized or unpunished for discrediting the name of the Revolution with their actions. This same principle is not applied by the movements in the USA.

>I mean it's highly unlikely that one could convince, say, a former SS officer to become a leftist
because it's literally logically impossible. There is only one truth. For example, if the sky was blue, then the truth would be that the sky is blue. The sky isn't grey or black, piss yellow or babyshit green. It's blue. Truth is a singular concept; there is no such thing as "multiple truths."
In that same vain, lets try to place various political beliefs - that being answers to the question of "How do we reduce human suffering in a society?" - on a left-to-right spectrum. Notice how there's no real acceptance that there's an "absolute" Socialism. There's no belief that's 100% Leftist, specifically. It becomes a fractal of beliefs at that point. Is Marxism more Left than Leninism? Is it more left to have a strong, central government or a communal decision making process? Etc. etc.
On the right, there's nothing further right than Fascism. Fascism has it's own distinct flavours, sure. But nobody questions their status as "the furthest of Far-Right." Is British Fascism more far right than Nazism or Italian Fascism? Even though Mosley's beliefs took a lot from Syndicalism, nobody ever has questioned the status of British Fascism as being equally right-winged as every other ideology. It's a subconscious recognizing of Fascism or Nazism or whatever as "The Truth." It's singular, there are no fractals of what's more right-wing, just a simple matter of the fine details.

How can a simple left to right spectrum encapsulate political thought? Nevermind that, how tf is whether the sky is blue in any way comparable to political thought? If anything, it's marxism that is "the sky is blue" of politics.
>Is Marxism more Left than Leninism?

>On the right, there's nothing further right than Fascism. Fascism has it's own distinct flavours, sure. But nobody questions their status as "the furthest of Far-Right." It's a subconscious recognizing of Fascism or Nazism or whatever as "The Truth."
Setting aside the ridiculous premise that whether something is considered left or right is in any way indicative of reality or any universal truth, how is that something exclusive to fascism? If you asked any random person, would they not correctly say that communism is as far left as you can go? Would not any communist consider themselves as such too? Even completely different tendencies, from Maoism to Leftcom to Anarchism, do they not all uphold Marxism as an universal truth? Is the far right itself not divided on multiple issues, from race to economics? It honestly scares me that a person wrote all that thinking he was saying something of worth. If you are a fascoid, then I can't say I'm surprised you have such a basic kindergarden understanding of politics and reality in general.

>there is no such thing as "multiple truths."
Not quite, there are singular objective truths (very hard to dinf in history and politics), but everyone has perspectives that are true to them.
>fascism is right wing's extreme
Well yes, and? A person isn't born a fascist, not Hitler, nor Himmler nor anyone. People are almost never born evil, or fascist, but we can condemn the behavior of an adult, but we can also understand that while it is extremely hard to to make someone change what they believe to be true, it is possible, just as it is possible for a communist or leftist to become a fascist or nazi, because people can change. A social experiment called Third Wave demonstrated that people can become caught up in monstrous ideologies or ideas or acts and only understand their wrong doing after being forced to consider the objective truth of their act. Otherwise, why would fascists dehumanize their victims? Because they try to justify this to themselves because most still have ethics and morals, and so they still have a chance to be saved from themselves, which is why the German Wehrmacht and people were not executed or attacked en masse for Nazi warcrimes. The Nazis and killers were punished, but many were rehabilitated. It's a complex ethical and moral question which most people frankly do not want to go into because it is so much easier to say "fascists are subhumans to be killed" rather than to try and stop and save these deluded people. The same applies to those who allow such dogmatism, because it is easier to believe such ideas as right and to let it occur than attempt to gainsay such ideologues and risk being a victim of theirs as well.

TL;DR: Nazis are victims of their own lack/suppression of empathy through dehumanization, and by rejecting the possibility that a reactionary may be rehabilitated and so saved, we engage in the same dehumanization by labeling them as sub-human monsters. A reactionary member of the working class is still a part of the working class, merely ones who are not class conscious or have lost faith in class consciousness. People rarely fight, kill or promote monstrous acts and ideologies out of sadistic desire, they usually do so because they want material benefits to live in peace and to gain betterment for themselves and their kin. After all, few people truly fight for or against an ideology, but for what that ideology represents for them. People wouldn't hate communism is they didn't think it would harm them and their family, just as they would hate capitalism is they truly understood how it does harm them and their family. At the same time, it's is the system one must hate not necessarily the non-class-conscious people who live in it, even if you must fight them to free them.

I think the point made is that you can't tell unless you make a sincere and significant effort. The USSR did execute and imprison anti-communists, but also tried to put some effort in rehabilitating people.

Nice strawman faggot, good job with your awful reading comprehension, since morality of fascism wasn't the point at all.

Historically fascism has only caused misery, stagnation and death for the majority of those who experience it - especially in the long-run - part-taking in unethical and criminal behavior in 'achieving' this.

Holy kek your understanding of WW-II is fucking middle-school tier.
Germany started WW-II and general expansionism because its economy was close to collapse and relied on pillaging others for resources because trade wasn't cutting it. As for "literally everyone" Germany had the economic resources and support of all of Western Europe with significant funding and support from companies like Ford, GM, General Electric, Rockafeller's Standard Oil Co (which continued to provide oil to German submarines until 1942), IBM and MANY more. The British Royal family literally gave away gold to the Nazi German economy to support it and promoted Hitler. The German economy on average was actually worse in Nazi Germany and relied on the War to keep it functioning at all, a literal military-industrial complex run on slave labor of Osterbeiters and workers paid worse wages than in the shitty Weimar Republic.

The USSR accounted for more than 50% of the patents of its time, and that was just registered ones.

>Muh iphone

KekI'll admit it's been a REALLY long time since that shit came up. Pic 2 and 3 related. Also since you want to use analogies - complaining about iphones is like a king telling a merchant-peasant revolt that they can't use the pitchforks and carts made under feudalism. in summaary there is no ethical consumption under capitalism because there is no way for you to actually feasibly ensure that, say the coffee you drink to stay up at work isn't being farmed by child slaves in South America or the cotton clothing or nylon clothing isn't woven in 3rd world sweatshops.

Now for iphones specifically
Capitalism did not, in fact, make the iPhone. Labor did. The ‘-ism’ merely determines who gets paid. Also, most of the technology present in the iPhone actually originated in the State sector, not the so-called ‘free market.’ The only capitalist part of the iphone, is its marketing. Its actual design, components etc. etc. are government funded and researched thus making the phone itself a product of the state. Making it a publicly sold item doesn't make it a capitalist creation, it is a capitalist use of a non-capitalist creation.

As Mariana Mazzucato writes in an article for New Scientist, “In [Apple’s] early stages the company received government cash support via a $500,000 small business investment company grant. And every technology that makes the iPhone a smartphone owes its vision and funding to the state: the internet, GPS, touchscreen displays and even the voice-activated smartphone assistant Siri all received state cash. The US Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) bankrolled the internet, and the CIA and the military funded GPS. So, although the US is sold to us as the model example of progress through private enterprise, innovation there has benefited from a very interventionist state.” It is not the case even in theory that capitalism or ‘the free market,’ made the iPhone. At least, not the sort of capitalism people who make this argument usually advocate for.
Steve Jobs, just like his contemporaries like Musk and Bezos and Gates was a trust-fund kid. Rich parents with rich corporate connections, so he had no trouble taking Steve Wozniak's creations and making them big,.

I would also like to mention that slave labor is used to mine cobalt in the Congo, which eventually makes its way into iPhone batteries. So you can claim (falsely) credit to capitalism for the iphones tech and take the L for its use of slave labor OR admit that it has nothing to do with capitalism and is just a product within a system and the most capitalist part of the phone is the various social media apps and it's planned obsolescence that promotes consumerism.

Oh and I don't use iphones and never have, they're garbage, like all Apple products have been since the 2010s.

Let's start with David Thorstad, a political activist born in 1941. Active in Trotskyist politics, even going so far to become a member of the Upper West Side branch of the Socialist Worker's Party, even becoming a staff writer for their newspaper, the Militant. In 1973 however, he left, citing the lack of action towards the gay liberation movement. He later became the president of the Gay Activists Alliance.
He later went on to found NAMBLA, a literal group of pedophiles.

>they happened in socialist nations to try to bridge themselves with the developed world
No shit? Both Russia and China and the entire eastern bloc were decades and decades behind the west when the revolutions happened, and yet they not only managed to catch up, but surpass them. In China's case, they not only ended famine in a country where they had 1800 famines in 2000 years, but they also raised their life expectancy faster than any other country in history. My country literally went from neo-feudalist agrarian state to fully industrialized in just a couple decades, meanwhile a couple decades of capitalism damn near fuckin de-industrialized us kek.

The government already assessed the idea of putting the technologies together but found little practical use for it and shelved it for later, and again this combination of things already existed repeatedly before the iphone but because the people who created them were trust-fund kids, they didn't have the marketing capital to make it big money, and that's ON TOP of the GOVERNMENT FUNDING AND SUPPORTING STEVE JOBS.

LOL, the USSR was literally under a Gold Blockade since the mid 1920s and could only export wood and grain to buy anything, they literally had medieval level agriculture, no industry and the country had just fought a Civil war with losses comparable to WW1, especially since The USA, Britain, France Japan and many more attempted a foreign intervention using guns, bombs, gas and more against people armed with old rifles and salvaged cannons as well as some other old equipment. And yet within a decade the standard of living jumped to a modern level and with fewer losses than during the 100+ years of the Western Industrial Revolution.

Key word capital, not capitalism. Obviously, a worker needs a factory, and a factory needs a worker, but the capitalist having private ownership of the factory doesn't fulfill any purpose except being a useless middleman. Using your fucked up broken analogy, imagine a guy owning your body, getting to dictate what you consume.
>The Soviet Union achieved 2.63 inventions per year. The United States, however, achieved 3.17 new inventions per year. Fucking retard, do your goddamn maths.
Does that math take in account that one of them was literally fucking demolished not just by two world wars, but also by being invaded by every imperial army on Earth, while the other could comfortably sit on its ass and count the money it made on the backs of the rest of the world? No shit the wealth capital of Earth could afford to do more than a country that was a backwater agrarian shithole just decades prior, and yet those numbers are very close, despite the comparison itself being completely dishonest. What would happen if you were to compare the USSR to countries similar stages of development, I wonder?

>I'm not even going into the fact that the USSR didn't join international patenting until later.

>Moreover that's American inventions over the entire history of the USA, which was around since the 18th century, so 2 centuries more with at least 1 extra century as an industrialized country.
Why do you think I adjusted the number for years? If anything, that doesn't help. The soviet union spent it's near whole history industrialized, and still pumped out less than the United States did while it had basically 2/3 years as a pre-industrial society. Fuck.

First table shows the estimated economic value, that means firstly the food and then all the production of things outside of it.
Ignoring the fact there are no, according to the studies, "Rich" Socialist countries which can imply that there's an issue with scaling the economic prosperity, it seems pretty sus that the study states that all of these things that aren't really obvious such as child mortality and education are higher than in capitalist countries. It could be possible that they're lying about it. It could be possible the standards of education are generally lower, meaning more people can pass education. It could be that said education has different policies around it. It could be education is used as a political tool, making attendance compulsory to an extreme. Etc. etc. Blah blah blah, bunch of shit here and there that says that these things need to be backed up with more measurable from outside sources.

A conspiracy theory, particularly nowadays, isn't to mean anything that says "___ politician is being a meenie bobinie and did a no-no!" It's a theory that uses usually circumstantial evidence, sometimes hard evidence, to state something that hasn't been admitted to.
MKUltra being something that happened is a fact. Not a conspiracy theory.
MKUltra being a thing that's still happening through various means is a conspiracy theory.

What year was the United States founded in? Let's say fuck it, and say that after the Civil War, the US *truly* started. So according to your little "THE USA WASN'T PER-INDUSTRIAL IT WAS 100% INDUSTRY" and then adjusting that for the likely dates when that "Industrial US" started, there was almost 5 new concepts developed in the US per year.

Socialist education is one of the only things even its biggest enemies admit is top tier, I don't see why you would choose to nitpick this of all things lmfao. In my country over half the people were illiterate peasants, then when communism came they not only eradicated illiteracy, but they established such an advanced polytechnic education that it didn't even take a generation for a country of unga bunga farmers to turn into a country of engineers, builders and architects.

1. Former elected leader of Iran in the 1950s who wanted to take control of the nation's oil instead of BP, Britain got our President to authorize CIA to take him out and install the Shah, a brutal dictator.

2. Elected leader of one the South American countries who was also kicked out by the CIA and then a dictator was installed in the 1950s.

3. Osama bin Laden, whom the USA funded against the Soviet Union (russia) in the 70s, 80s. He later created the attack on the twin towers.

4. Guy who revealed that the CIA was importing cocaine from South America to fund stuff that Congress and the American people would not agree to (dirty money under the table). Not surprisingly he ended up with a "suicide" bullet to the back of his head.

5. Colin Powell, who stated that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, letting US invade and destroy what was left of Iraq and thus created ISIS.

6. ISIS, which was created because the US invaded Iraq and Obama decided to fund Syrian "moderates" who wanted to take over Syria. They then turned out to be psychopaths.

A class is a group of people who share economic interests. For workers. who live by selling their labour, their interest lies in maximizing wages while minimizing work.

>"Stalin was a mass murderer!"
<"No he wasn't, he was a mass executioner, because murder implies a broken law against killing and all killings under him were absolutely legal under positive law."
<Holocaust was not legal
<There was actually an extensive debate whether the Holocaust was "legal" or not amongst German jurisprudence. The overall consensus is, no, it was not, because technically the Weimar constitution was still in effect and none of the "emergency laws" (Notstandsgesetz) that allowed Hitler to stay in power would have given cover to such a thing.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Nazism_and_Stalinism
> Australian historian and archival researcher Stephen G. Wheatcroft posits that "[t]he Stalinist regime was consequently responsible for about a million purposive killings, and through its criminal neglect and irresponsibility it was probably responsible for the premature deaths of about another two million more victims amongst the repressed population, i.e. in the camps, colonies, prisons, exile, in transit and in the POW camps for Germans. These are clearly much lower figures than those for whom Hitler's regime was responsible." Wheatcroft also says that, unlike Hitler, Stalin's "purposive killings" fit more closely into the category of "execution" than "murder", given he thought the accused were indeed guilty of crimes against the state and insisted on documentation, whereas Hitler simply wanted to kill Jews and communists because of who they were, and insisted on no documentation and was indifferent at even a pretence of legality for these actions.[158]

Soviet socialism had such a rough start with many casualties because they had to create defenses against imperial capitalists that were about to do a WW2. The people that died during the rushed buildup for the defensive war machine the Soviets needed to survive were also casualties of WW2. Most of the more repressive elements of the Soviet state were caused by contradictions of building socialism within a world that still had a capitalist superstructure. If all the capitalist countries would have been peaceful neighbors (like that would ever happen), there never would have been a need for "Stalinism"

The Soviet system has to be compared with capitalist states in the periphery, because that was the alternative for the Soviet region. They either went with Stalin to build a superpower, or they could have become capitalist vassals in the periphery. Considering that genocide was somewhat common and regular in the periphery even for liberal capitalist empires, going with Stalin was a no-brainer. Once the soviet system was fully established the repression that people faced was at least a magnitude lower than what exists in the capitalist periphery even to this day. If all countries in the periphery of capitalism would do a "Stalinism", the total sum of repression that people on earth are facing would go down, that's how bad it is.

For anybody willing to contest this, Stalinism for most soviet people meant that life expectancy almost doubled within one generation. You can put on ideological blenders of one kind or an other to justify or condemn the soviet system but you can't argue with those results.

>But muh Black Book 100 gorillion!

<The Black Book, Ryan writes, is in the style of a "recording angel." It is a relentless "criminal indictment" for the murder of 100 million people, "the body count of a colossal, wholly failed social, economic, political and psychological experiment." The total evil, unredeemed by even a hint of achievement anywhere, makes a mockery of "the observation that you can't make an omelette without broken eggs."
<Overcoming amnesia, suppose we now apply the methodology of the Black Book and its reviewers to the full story, not just the doctrinally acceptable half. We therefore conclude that in India the democratic capitalist "experiment" since 1947 has caused more deaths than in the entire history of the "colossal, wholly failed…experiment" of Communism everywhere since 1917: over 100 million deaths by 1979, tens of millions more since, in India alone. The "criminal indictment" of the "democratic capitalist experiment" becomes harsher still if we turn to its effects after the fall of Communism: millions of corpses in Russia, to take one case, as Russia followed the confident prescription of the World Bank that "Countries that liberalise rapidly and extensively turn around more quickly [than those that do not]," returning to something like what it had been before World War I, a picture familiar throughout the "third world." But "you can't make an omelette without broken eggs," as Stalin would have said. The indictment becomes far harsher if we consider these vast areas that remained under Western tutelage, yielding a truly "colossal" record of skeletons and "absolutely futile, pointless and inexplicable suffering" (Ryan). The indictment takes on further force when we add to the account the countries devastated by the direct assaults of Western power, and its clients, during the same years.

For one thing this sounds suspect as fuck. Secondly, as someone that experienced "High-Quality" American Schooling… it's a load of bullshit. There is 0 standardized learning, metric systems are covered only in science classes and even then only High-School. College Prep coursed do nothing to actually prepare you for college, and Honors are barely good enough. Teachers are only so good as what they teach and in the capitalist system you aren't learning shit. On top of that, schooling does nothing to help in home life, as people's material conditions mean that they're still going to underperform. On top of that the encouragement of ghetto gang "culture" also negatively reinforces a lack of education or pretending of such, meaning that people are unmotivated to become educated or act educated because they risk ostricization from their own folks. The reason Soviet Education is so famous in Europe is because it had a very strict grounding on not being race focused, and on children having equal opportunity to learn and reinforcement of motivation in culture. Even a criminal could be well read and cultured because there was no CIA encouraging a certain race to consider education as "uncool".

TL;DR: It's under capitalism, no shit its gonna probably fail; they're just changing some funding, not the direction of the education itself.

At the heart of all fascist delusion is the nonsense belief that they have claim to ‘homelands’, that they have territories which they can defend with borders. They fetishise these borders. The fact is, we’re not just dealing with reactionaries, we are exclusively dealing with white reactionaries. I don’t think they can be educated out of delusion.

But it doesn’t matter at all, America and Europe are more International than ever. Monolithic white voting blocs are no longer a thing. Demographically they are no longer a dominant force. So I find it hard to see why we need to ‘educate’ a people who are already effectively defeated.

The book this is from (Murray's Human Accomplishment) literally tried to explain why. From the ALA review:
"Murray carefully examines why. The greatest achievements of India, China, Japan, and Islam occurred well before the West took off during the Renaissance, and each of those cultures valued duty, family, and consensus, whereas the West prefers individualism, the sine qua non of scientific debate and discovery."

One of the other times someone cited this book (it's written by one of the Bell Curve guys) an anon pointed this out.
This review talked about flaws in the methodology:
https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/07/why-is-charles-murray-odious

One of the most notable flaws is that it excludes anything after 1950. Everything after 1950 is apparently not an objective human accomplishment by definition to Murray.
Quote from above review:
"Before 1950, black people had invented gospel, blues, jazz, R&B, samba, meringue, ragtime, zydeco, mento, calypso, and bomba. During the early 20th century, in the United States alone, the following composers and players were active: Ma Rainey, W.C. Handy, Scott Joplin, Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, James P. Johnson, Fats Waller, Count Basie, Cab Calloway, Art Tatum, Charlie Parker, Charles Mingus, Lil Hardin Armstrong, Bessie Smith, Billie Holliday, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson, J. Rosamond Johnson, Ella Fitzgerald, John Lee Hooker, Coleman Hawkins, Leadbelly, Earl Hines, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Fats Navarro, Roy Brown, Wynonie Harris, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie Johnson, Robert Johnson, Son House, Dinah Washington, Thelonious Monk, Muddy Waters, Art Blakey, Sarah Vaughan, Memphis Slim, Skip James, Louis Jordan, Ruth Brown, Big Jay McNeely, Paul Gayten, and Professor Longhair. (This list is partial.) When we talk about black American music of the early 20th century, we are talking about one of the most astonishing periods of cultural accomplishment in the history of civilization. We are talking about an unparalleled record of invention, the creation of some of the most transcendently moving and original artistic material that has yet emerged from the human mind. The significance of this achievement cannot be overstated… Yet in Charles Murray’s “objective” measure of the worth of Western musical creations, none of this appears. Instead, in addition to the usual heavyweights like Bach and Wagner, we get a slew of minor, forgotten English composers like John Jenkins, Nicholas Lanier, and Matthew Locke. This is (and I am not kidding) because Murray believes that their work better fits the Aristotelian standard for transcendent human feeling[.]"

Quality of education has quite a bit more to do with stability of family life rather than magnitude of education spending. Success of students is contingent on many factors but in America much of our social spending has to be funnelled through the education system rather than expanded outright. School functions less as education than public daycare assistance and this has to do with the rigid structure of the social safety net's to ability to be expanded where it is needed or public investment placed in areas other than education and basic infrastructure.
Major problem is that liberalism fetishizes education because of an erroneous belief in education as a Merit machine, but education success is much more about standard of living and life stability of the student than the quality or funding of schools. Public investment has to be well rounded and education results will improve, shoveling more money to education alone will not fix it since success therein is multifaceted.
A related text is Fredrik deBoer's The Cult of Smart, which talks about this issue of overemphasizing the efficacy of education in setting American social policy.

It benefits corporations. I was thinking about it for the past 3 months, and I've realized that communism - if implemented in a western nation - would be fore-fronted by current private interests. The only reason why you support socialism is because you're given false information to support it. Then, if you actually end up enacting it with your buddies, it'll then be taken over by private interests with either their private armies or a fat paycheck needed to stimulate any sort of economy as a complete restructuring of the power hierarchy ensues.

People being well armed, working councils/soviets being formed, and ocasional purges should keep private interests from taking over. Unless a Titoist/Dengist party is the one coming to power, which is incredibly unlikely to happen.

>do you really think that a "diverse" and polarized America would even think for half a second to try and pull their shit together?

Not a burger, you'll probably get a better answer from one. Regardless.

Do not underestimate the changes on zeitgeist required for such an event to happen. The most orthodox country in the world was blowing up its own churches when things got bad enough.

This in itself is a base-level retard sentance. So you're telling me the fucking Nazi German government walked up and said "yo chieftan, your salary is gonna b cut 50% fuck you"? That's retarded, and even if it was true - which I doubt it was - that would be more close to a Socialist economy, since it'd be a central figure, da gubment, trying to force the economy's hand without large over-arching changes to everyone.
But all of that shit isn't true. Them nazis didn't cut them salamis, you fucking ape. Or at least, they didn't cut the salaries in the way that would mirror the Neo-Liberal method. Neo-Liberal economies distinctly cut salaries through flooding the workforce with neo-slave immigrants, women, and outsourcing labour. All three of those things are distinctly opposed by both Nazis of 1930's/1940's Germany, and by Neo-Nazis of today.

 No.8770

>>8769
NTA, just chiming in
You're correct that they did not have neoliberalism, neolibs arose directly as a response to more traditional decaying capitalist methods like in Nazi Germany failing. They did undercut salaries, but hid it using price changes and other manipulations. I suggest reading Tooze's book on the Nazi economy that has a section going into this.
>Arm the unions
The Unions under the Nazis came under "management" and control of corporations and certainly got no arms. A main point of fascism is clas-collaboration using rhetoric of "greater good" and other crap to ssntially say, "bend your neck for now and the higher ups cna tell you the time that you'll get your good life"… except that didn't happen for many people and for those that did rise out of poverty, it came at the cost of the lives and living standards of others.
>encourage faith, tradition, and ethnonationalism
the latter just encourages shit like in 90s Russia and fSU. Tradition and faith for their own sake are also detrimental, BUT I also think (and so did the USSR) that you cannot just attack religion and traditional ideas for the sake of it, as these things arose over centuries for a reason.

Fascism is not needed for post-scarcity, that's an illusion mirroring and attempting to dissuade people from Marxism-Leninism. Link related is a video about IG-Farben and just how they pulled this porky scam offю

Here's a list I've compiled of popular anticommunist authors (plus some others) admitting there was no such thing as the Holodomor. Feel free to copypaste it.

Anne Applebaum, Red Famine:
>"In practice, ‘genocide’, as defined by the UN documents, came to mean the physical elimination of an entire ethnic group, in a manner similar to the Holocaust. The Holodomor does not meet that criterion. The Ukrainian famine was not an attempt to eliminate every single living Ukrainian; it was also halted, in the summer of 1933, well before it could devastate the entire nation"
Stephane Courtois/Nicolas Werth, The Black Book of Communism:
>"Should one see this famine as a genocide of the Ukrainian people, as a number of Ukrainian historians and researchers do today? It is undeniable that the Ukrainian peasantry were the principal victims in the famine of 1932-33 (…) But proportionally the famine was just as severe in the Cossack territories of the Kuban and the Don and in Kazakhstan"
Orlando Figes, Revolutionary Russia 1891-1991:
>"No hard evidence has so far come to light of the regime's intention to kill millions through famine, let alone of a genocide campaign against the Ukrainians. Many parts of Ukraine were ethnically mixed. There is no data to suggest that there was a policy of taking more grain from Ukrainian villages than from the Russians or other ethnic groups in the famine area. And Ukraine was not the only region to suffer terribly from the famine, which was almost as bad in Kazakhstan."
Robert Service, Stalin - A Biography:
>"Although Stalin did not seek the extermination of all Ukrainians and Kazakhs, he certainly aimed to extirpate all opposition real and potential from among them. The ultimate objective, though, was to turn Ukraine and Kazakhstan into economically efficient Soviet republics. He therefore allowed both peoples to retain their culture…"
Stephen Kotkin, Stalin - Waiting for Hitler 1929-1941:
>This becomes “genocide” when the authors include the executions of Ukrainian intellectuals, writers, poets, musicians, artists, church officials. They offer no evidence of intentional starvation or of ethnic targeting. They do not dwell on the ethnic Ukrainian agency in the alleged genocide against Ukrainians (in regions where lots of Russians lived and died). They do not include the Volga Valley, Kazakhstan, the Urals, Western Siberia, and other famine-wracked regions where Ukrainians did not form a large percentage of the population.
Alexander Solshenistyn:
>In 2008, he published an article on Izvestia calling the Holodomor a "provocatory cry about a 'genocide' that was started in the minds of Ukrainian chauvinists decades later" (Source: https://iz.ru/news/335020)
On Robert Conquest backpedaling:
>"In 2003, Dr. Conquest wrote to us explaining that he does not hold the view that Stalin purposely inflicted the 1933 famine. No. What I argue is that with resulting famine imminent, he could have prevented it, but put "Soviet interest" other than feeding the starving first thus consciously abetting it" (R.W. Davies & Stephen G. Wheatcroft. "Debate. Stalin and the Soviet Famine of 1932 - 33: A Reply to Ellman.")
>"In June 2006 a Ukrainian delegation of experts on the Holocaust and the Golodomor met Robert Conquest in Stanford University and enquired about his views, and were told directly by him that he preferred not to use the term genocide (Kul’chitskii (2007), 176)" (From R.W. Davies / Stephen Wheatcroft, The Years of Hunger - Soviet Agriculture 1931-1933)
Grover Furr on the reaction of other historians (From Blood Lies):
>"There is no evidence it was intentionally directed against Ukrainians," said Alexander Dallin of Stanford, the father of modern Sovietology. "That would be totally out of keeping with what we know — it makes no sense."
>"This is crap, rubbish," said Moshe Lewin of the University of Pennsylvania, whose 'Russian Peasants and Soviet Power' broke new ground in social history. "I am an anti-Stalinist, but I don't see how this [genocide] campaign adds to our knowledge. It's adding horrors, adding horrors, until it becomes a pathology.
>"I absolutely reject it," said Lynne Viola of SUNY-Binghamton, the first US historian to examine Moscow's Central State Archive on collectivization. "Why in god's name would this paranoid government consciously produce a famine when they were terrified of war [with Germany]?
>"He's terrible at doing research," said veteran Sovietologist Roberta Manning of Boston College. "He misuses sources, he twists everything."
>In a polite but firmly negative review of Conquest's book in the London Review of Books in 1987 American Soviet scholar J. Arch Getty wrote: Conquest's hypothesis, sources and evidence are not new. Indeed, he himself first put forward his view two years ago in a work sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute. The intentional famine story, however, has been an article of faith for Ukrainian émigrés in the West since the Cold War. Much of Conquest's most graphic description is taken from such period-pieces as The Golgoltha of the Ukraine (1953), The Black Deeds of the Kremlin (1953) and Communism the Enemy of Mankind (1955). Conquest's book will thus give a certain academic credibility to a theory which has not been generally accepted by non-partisan scholars outside the circles of exiled nationalities. In today's conservative political climate, with its 'evil empire' discourse, I am sure that the book will be very popular.
On the Russian release of archival documents:
>“In the archives of Russia, in the archives of the republics of the former USSR, millions of documents have been preserved [of] the famine in the USSR at the beginning of the 1930s of the last century in various regions of the large country. Not a single document has been found confirming the conception of a ‘Holodomor-genocide’ in Ukraine or even a hint in the documents about ethnic motives of what occurred, including in Ukraine.” (Source: V. P. Kozlov, Golod v SSSR 1930-1934; Famine in the USSR 1930­-1934 (2009)

Excellent post though they deemphasize the impact of liberals and their fascist counter-parts. It's not just rationalizing, but its also a formation of golden calves (in the form of vague but generally accepted concepts so that disagreeing makes you appear to be a bad person) that they use to gaslight anyone that attempts to criticize idpol from an objective standpoint. For example the liberal slogan of black lives matter". On a base, superficial level, yeah there's nothing incorrect, but the problem is that
A) focusing on a specific identity in your rhetoric for ethics, immediately attracts the porky rhetoric about "muh privleg" and other identarian, divisive nonsense
B) it ignores the subversive and often rightist context of these phrases and concepts and their inherent use as a justification for dumb idpol shit promoted by rainbow-capitalist ideologues; a gateway for literal fed propaganda
It goes without saying that this also applies to rightoid slogans about stuff like "de jooz"

what does that mean, that the women are doing the crime, or the criminal was raised by a single mother? anyone who is a single mother made bad choices, and the partner was a bad choice if he is the kind of scum who leaves his partner, so are you surprised an improperly raised kid born of two lowlifes turns criminal? not to mention they are probably poorer too without a breadwinner.

I'm interested in what you leftists think of The Bell Curve by Hernstein and Murray. Mostly the focus isn't specifically on race, but pretty much every single bad thing like single motherhood, low income, low education, low SES, is negeatively correlated with high IQ. Specifically, you should find the section on b/w test bias, in ch13, and in affirmative action in education (where they discuss how the situation looks from the ground) ch19, p252 in this pdf, interesting.

Lynn's IQ map has been replicated. There is also no real reason to assume Africa has an average IQ equivalent with Europe or Asia considering their lack of historic achievements.

Deboonked by the presence of sub-saharans who don't have this specific problem.
But sure, keep it up with the circular reasoning where everything is 100% inherent.
>Lynn's IQ map has been replicated
Did you forget the sentence below the one that you're responding to? Lynn's methodology was complete shit. On top of the fact that most non-Western figures were estimates and not based on tests, the few cases when it was the latter was sampled from unrepresentative subsets of a population.

Your position ultimatetly requires that humans living in Europe, Asia and Africa underwent the exact same selection pressures for thousands of years. The existance of divergent evolution practically guarantees that any trait frequency with a non-zero heritability differs between racial groups. Keep in mind that there was enough time for nature to create the racial variance in humans we see today so unless *somehow*, *for some reason* a trait like procilivity to single motherhood is immune to natural selection what you're saying is simply absurd.
>circular reasoning where everything is 100% inherent
Retard i literally said "and the culture shapes the race." Absolutetly fucking no one believes in your strawmen. Environment matters, just not as much as you'd like it to.
>Lynn's methodology was complete shit.
That's just a thing you say. Maybe it's true or maybe not, but either way it's still a fact of the matter that Lynn's numbers were replicated (https://isteve.blogspot.com/2013/12/overall-pisa-rankings-include-america.html).
>Inb4 "but that's not the same"
Every global metric you could think of that correlates with IQ also overlaps with Europe, Asia and Africa exactly in the way you'd expect if Lynn's IQ numbers were valid. You can take potshots at the methodology, but there is no practical reason to doubt the validity.

Your first paragraph misses the entire point, which is that the specific trait of single motherhood doesn't seem to be that genetically determined based on the fact that two genetically related groups have different rates of it.
Also, the highest rates of single parenthood are in the US, Russia and Western Europe. Are European-descended people genetically prone to single parenthood? No, because other European groups don't have that high of a rate.

Do you even know how genetic predispositions even work?
<"An increased chance or likelihood of developing a particular disease based on the presence of one or more genetic variants and/or a family history suggestive of an increased risk of the disease. Having a genetic predisposition does not mean an individual will develop the disease. Lifestyle and environmental factors can also affect an individual's risk of disease. Also called genetic susceptibility, hereditary predisposition, and inherited predisposition."
THe fact that technology or culture shapes a trait doesn't mean you can throw genetics out the window and everyone is equal. Fuck this is so dumb.

You don't actually know that. And the original point was that you can't just point to an environmental factor to disprove race as a cause if the environmental factor can be partially racial in origin.

But genetics tells us that in general societies are pretty much genetically equal.

Obviously if a group is more predisposed to single parenthood it doesn't mean that 100% of them will live under single parents, but the group should similar rates across different places and have it higher than other groups. We don't see that with single parenthood for any group and they all internally have wildly different rates of it.
>You don't actually know that
Uh, so whites/europeans are more prone to it? Wait, wasn't it blacks? Or is it both? You're acting more schizo right now.
I know Euros aren't genetically predisposed to it because even though western europe has a higher rate than sub-saharan Africa, in the US the situation is reversed with European-descended people having less rates of it than African-descended people. Therefore its cause is more environmental than genetic.
>And the original point was that you can't just point to an environmental factor to disprove race as a cause if the environmental factor can be partially racial in origin.
So why didn't Africans reproduce the same environment that African-Americans did that caused them to have a higher rate of single parenthood? Why did Europeans in Europe reproduce the environment that American blacks did but Europeans in America didn't? What you're doing right now is unfalsifiable ad-hoc shit where the evidence against what you're saying is hand-waved.

We share like 99.8% of our DNA with apes so i guess we are mostly the same with them also.

Your error is that you as a leftoid are physically incapable of just taking a statement at face value and must always read intentions and secret dogwhistles into everything. My stance is evolution doesn't care about equality. Whatever the genetic rate of single motherhood or crime is for Europens won't be exactly the same as that for Asia or Africa. Maybe it's lower, maybe it's higher, maybe it's roughly the same with different variance or whatever. Those are ultimatetly an empirical questions that have to be measured to be answered. In practice when you DO measure stuff like the results are usually Europe/Asia > Africa.
>So why didn't Africans reproduce the same environment that African-Americans did that caused them to have a higher rate of single parenthood?
>Why did Europeans in Europe reproduce the environment that American blacks did but Europeans in America didn't?
The environmental factor for single motherhood are things like access to modern technology, the welfare state or birth control. Western culture was historically dictates by Europeans so Africans had little to no influence of norms in the first place. Besides that i really have no clue what you're asking for.

Well in that case it's higher among whites in Europe and lower among blacks in Africa. But also lower among whites in America but higher among blacks in there. The point is that since the two races have different rates in 4 different environments then it's mostly environmental.
>The environmental factor for single motherhood are things like access to modern technology, the welfare state or birth control
So why do American whites suffer from less single motherhood than European whites even though both of the genetic and your personal environmental variables are in both places are the same?
>Name one thing i said that can't be falsified. 1.

I'd say the shithole conditions of Africa just pull things out of proportions. Look at the difference in single motherhood rates within countries and that will give you much better estimate.
>So why do American whites suffer from less single motherhood than European whites even though both of the genetic and your personal environmental variables are in both places are the same?
Do they? At any rate it doesn't matter because none of my core arguments are disproven either way.
>The fact that I pointed out that the rates are inconsistent across races
What answer are you even expecting here? First off there are ethnic differences between whites in America and whites in Europe so you can't simply equate the two, second i already listed environmental factors that impact single motherhood and third the world is complex. "You said race matters but why then can't i reduce everything in life down to this one variable, clearly race is totally 100% meaningless". That's retarded. Bottom line is nature doesn't care about equality and blacks are more predisposed towards criminality. Tough luck.
