I agree completely about the determined aspect of our being, but that also doesnt denote "materialism" as an ontology. "Materialism" is overstated today; its an old concept that is only revived by marxists. To me, materialism begins and ends with the enlightenment, which is due to the legacy of german idealism, which marx borrows from in hegel too.
"Dialectical materialism" was not something formalised in marx and engels' works, and only became known from the state philosophy of the soviet union under stalin, the same way "leninism" was also defined as a doctrine by stalin.
The dialectical process of marx is still ideal in structure; of history fulfilling its own idea, which is the same to hegel. Marx's inversion of hegel only comes in the scientific analysis of agency, where he puts emphasis in the mass, and where hegel puts agency in an enlightened minority.
Also, the "matter" of materialism is very different in concept than what we see today, and so it is literally outdated, i would even say, with einstein's relativity (where the newtonian absolutism is the model of matter as a uniform structure).
The scientific idea of cosmic evolution to me gives Idea to its dialectical process, where we begin with physics, which turns to chemistry and ends in biology. Like hegel, i find the completeness of nature in its phenomena, and so find the fullness of "matter" in this self-movement towards life.
Neo-darwinists would say this is also true, in that life expresses the chaos of the universe, but i also think there is "idea" to the very meaning of reality in this way. To me, biology is the meaning of physics, the same way man is the meaning of nature.
politically and socially, materialism occupies the discourse of "neutrality" where it attempts to supersede our kantian subjectivity by positing the notion of an "objective" perspective that you are only allowed to argue with on the terms set by materialists. This is the strategy of both liberals and communists alike [the children of leftism] since it debases the primacy of the qualitative [by dialectical self-reference, or concrete totality] into the quantitative, "objective" gaze of "facts and logic" or "reason" or "science". Reason thus is set as an epistemology from which the neutral party speaks and all others are irrational. This is the basis of the parliaPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Good points. Ancient Rome was always an oligarchic system. Full stop. End of. The republican period was only "republican" because the two consuls - the officials acting as heads of state and government - were elected and stayed in office for a term of one year and they were barred from being re-elected straight away, while the mythological kings ruled for life and they were properly a monarchic - i.e. rule of one - kind of figure, but it has to be said that them too were elected. And btw, elective monarchies or other lifelong chieftainships in some eras and some places could be more common then hereditary ones, but that's another topic.
Also, "republican" institutions, conventions and traditions survived the institution of the "principality" - what we call the empire as having an emperor in power - with Augustus until the remaining western part of the empire was finally liquidated in the 5th century, but for the most part they only served ceremonial and symbolic functions. The real power struggle was between the Senate - and sometimes there were different senatorial factions fighting each other - and the emperors. Popular masses were for the most part manipulated by one or the other for their ends.
Getting back to the republican period, the Senate and the actual ruling classes always did whatever they could to stop consuls or other officials that showed excessive favour toward the poor and the dispossessed. Everyone know the story of the Gracchi brothers - both assassinated, one about a decade after the other - but other figures were relatively luckier: sometimes auspices just read some really nasty omen on the day a certain official had to be sworn in, so the guy got wind of the thing and renounced to get in office straight away.

Fun fact the Senate survived the 5th century collapse of the western empire. Odoacer was a short lived king who was quickly deposed by Theoderic. Theoderic ruled Italy with a consent of an eastern emperor and as a vassal of him (on paper, he was defacto autonomous). Because of that he kept the Roman institutions around. They were still around when Belisarius invaded Italy in 6th century. And I don't actually know when they were dissolved, probably by Longobards.

rightoids always suck off the police because they believe the police prevent crime, and leftoids argue against this using a bunch of metrics and statistics showing that cops don't prevent crime and are in fact just the protectors of the wealthy. But this conclusion can be arrived at entirely through reason alone, without even needing a bunch of boring long term studies. one need only ask oneself a series of questions:

>what would happen if everyone stopped committing crimes? would the state disband the police?

<No! You can't just fire thousands of armed and dangerous people just because they aren't needed anymore. They will fuck your shit up. They're here to collect a check, whether they do real work or just engage in rent seeking thuggery.
>if society stopped committing crime and the state did somehow "disband the police" how would police respond?
<by throwing a shit fit, becoming violent criminals, and basically creating the demand for the police to return through their own violent actions, creating a paradox. if crime disappears, the police become the criminals, meaning crime cannot disappear.
>if the police would not disband if everyone stopped committing crimes, because they are in fact a group of armed people who are monopolizing violence, then can it really be said their job is to prevent crime?
<No. because if crime disappeared they would stick around, inducing the demand for their services by sowing chaos.
>If the police cannot be said to be stopping crime, then what is their real job?
<their real job must be the protection of the ruing class propagandists who claim that the police are stopping crime.

Can someone explain to me Marx's labor theory of value??? Was he off his mark when he proposed this, or am I misunderstanding something? If I labor 50 hours polishing a turd versus 5 hours, how does that make my turd more valuable?

Marx's labor theory of value is derived from Adam Smith and Ricardo. It states that the value of a commodity is more or less equivalent to the average hours of labor it takes to produce it. It can explain why you will never be able to exchange a pencil for a fancy car.
You can find the core of it in the first chapter of Capital, beginning with considerations about utility and market exchange. It's a dense text, but it's a valuable thing to read, several times even, to be more knowledgeable about economics.

I would also agree that austrian "economics" is primarily moral in nature, with its transcendental critiques like "praxeology" and its rationalistic discourse of "human action" taking precedence over empirical reality.

Ben Barka Was a Lost Leader of the International Left
Mehdi Ben Barka was a leading figure in the Moroccan nationalist movement against French colonialism. After independence, he became the focal point for opposition to the autocratic rule of King Hassan II and a driving force behind the alliance of national liberation movements that came together at the 1966 Tricontinental Conference in Havana. However, Ben Barka never made it to the conference. On October 29, 1965, he was approached by two police officers on his way to a well-known brasserie in central Paris. They led him to a car and then he was driven to a villa on the outskirts of Paris. He was never seen again. It is likely that Ben Barka’s assassination was ordered by King Hassan II and carried out by his interior minister Mohamed Oufkir, who was convicted of the murder in absentia by a French court in 1967. Supporting roles were played by President Charles de Gaulle’s secret services, a network spanning parallel police forces and the criminal underworld, masterminded by his dirty-tricks fixer, Jacques Foccart, and by Israel’s national intelligence agency, Mossad. The full truth behind the murder has never come to light. Successive French presidents from De Gaulle to Emmanuel Macron have persistently obstructed justice in the name of secret défense, a perfectly legal and very effective means of covering up state crimes.

What could happen if harassment of Nazis became normalized?
What case studies are relevant, and what are their limitations?

In many places in the West, we see neo-fash orgs performing both unannounced 'flash-mob' marches, and police-protected protests. As dorky as they look, these still make a statement - we're publicly fascist and not being hurt. It's ok.
But sometimes, these don't go as planned. Antifascist groups frequently infiltrate their communications or have a local network ready to quickly react and counterprotest. And sure, on a regular good day they'll embarrass the fash more than they're doing themselves, deal financial damage by smashing their vehicles, maybe even get an assault in, but this requires organization and dedication. Ideally, this could be complimented by normalized, casual antifascism, creating an environment where it's not safe to be a Nazi outside.

But that's not easy when police will protect them, and make no mistake, that is not an inevitability. Take the example of when the British Union of Fascists went to Brighton, where police weren't sympathetic and basically just sent one cop, letting antifascists like the 43 Group throw bricks at them and beat them up. Or take examples where there are enough aggressive counter-protesters to make police aggression futile - you can only arrest so many people (safety in numbers is a real tactic used in known illegal actions like blockades). Furthermore, there are examples where nazis appear before police do (take the NSN arriving to a demonstration early in an attempt to avoid antifascists) or where they act as individuals performing stunts or wolfwhistling.
In these cases, nazis can be mobbed not just by antifascist activists but by normal citizens, with legal consequence being the only real chilling factor.

Some of them call it "everyday antifascism" where the idea to expand antifascism to more people who are given the initiative to stand up to fascists themselves and make their own decisions while overcoming fear, isolation, and intellectual detachment.

>As dorky as they look, these still make a statement - we're publicly fascist and not being hurt. It's ok.

Fascists rely on "terror" to make an impression. They intend to use flash mobs, symbols and uniforms (along with aggressive, synchronized shouting: "blood and soil" etc.) combined with an element of surprise as a kind of psychological weapon to create anxiety and intimidate people. They sort of dazzle and shock people. They'll use light (at night), torches, stuff like that – like certain deep-sea creatures which use light to hypnotize their prey.

It works as a kind of force multiplier to make themselves seem bigger and more powerful than they are in reality. One of the shortcomings of this strategy is that over time it tends to unleash forces that will come to clash with them down the road.

Even the forests of rural america are "no trespassing" but every square mile of the eastern half of the country is dotted with boomer suburban housing development which prevents poor americans from being able to even walk through the woods without potentially being shot for "looking suspicious". This isnt a problem in europe because they have a concept called "the right to travel" which puts the rights of people to walk wherever they want above the rights of private property owners. It's a simple contradiction of priorities, nothing more.

Marxism has traditionally had a close alliance with the feminist movement, and human development for women in Communist states is far higher than in the capitalist West.

If it's okay with the mods, can we maintain an exception for Marxist feminists to the general anti-idpol line?

Based on the genestealer thread, I think what we really need are a lot more Marxist women. That is to say, while we can't literally fuck for revolution, we can have women in good physical shape and with nice makeup help promote Marxism and other left-wing ideologies.

Feminism is a bourgeois movement, that is why Kollontai and other Marxist "feminists" refused to call themselves that. Feminism believes in patriarchy while Marxism knows capitalism is the core of society. In fact what feminists call "patriarchy" are inseperable parts capitalist society. Even thinking that "patriarchy and capitalism go hand in hand" is just another way to somehow look at "patriarchy" without capitalism or capitalism without "patriarchy". This is kind of like saying that a Covid-infection and coughing "go hand in hand". Obviously that is the case but the actual underlying problem is the infection, and the solution is to cure the infection. Meanwhile the feminists see "the cough" as the problem, as if it had an existence on its own, which is merely "entangled" with the infection.

Another thing to consider, is that in the theory of "patriarchy", the male is seen as the oppressor. In this way feminism not only sees the wrong reason for the female-specific forms of oppression, but also serves to divide the working class. In this, it actually furthers bourgeois interests. In reality only man and woman together can free themselves of capitalist oppression, which then leads to the emancipation of women as part of emancipation of every human being.

Marxism-Leninism and communism are the way forward for women, not feminism.

>Feminism believes in patriarchy while Marxism knows capitalism is the core of society.
Marx "believed in patriarchy" he just understood it as a particular social system and not a general term for sexism. According to Marx, capitalism was the historical movement that overcomes patriarchal rule in a final sense, so to be a Marxist and take patriarchy in concrete terms is to consider the struggle against patriarchy a principally bourgeois struggle in the last analysis. That doesn't mean, however, that the triuimph over the remnants of the patriarchy is necessarily completed within capitalism before a transition to socialism begins, but it does certainly relegate it to a secondary consideration both for its dependence on the material base and for most of the struggle (probably) already being completed.

Additionally, even self-identified Marxist feminists tend to agree that women's "liberation" under capitalism is somewhat of a double-edged sword. Principally of course, the great majority of women are working class and face the associated oppression thereof. Secondarily, many of the effects of women's entrance into the common labor force (proletarianization per se) has had various negative consequences. These include but are not limited to: a swelling of the labor force (lowering worker bargaining power), new responsibilities as expenses as employees, and a freeing from attachment to a husband to a new attachment to one or (often) more employers who are in a position to take advantage socially and sexually. None of this is patriarchy so much as it is a new, capitalism-based form of oppression that is only partially different in character from what their male peers experience. Therefore, the resolution to these issues is the overthrow of capitalism, and with men and women positioned much more as peers than at most other points in (recorded) history, the prospect of cross-gender solidarity is far greater than it ever has been.

That said, there is no excuse for socialism to backslide one millimeter on the matter of overcoming sexism, and indeed it must be the task of socialism to overcome new or sublated forms of discrimination which took shape under capitalism.

Seeing this, the Turkish state is determined to divert Iraq from its political course, converting the country into a partner of its own policies of genocide and annihilation, digressing it to the customs of more than a century ago.

Pharma-Backed Democrats Are Fighting To Keep Drugs Expensive
While President Joe Biden is using Medicare to lower the cost of a handful of overpriced drugs and wants to expand the practice to hundreds more, some of Big Pharma’s favorite Democrats are working to do the opposite. After the pharmaceutical industry unleashed a $1.5 million bipartisan donation blitz, members of Biden’s own party have joined with Republican lawmakers to try to limit the number of drugs regulators can cut prices for in the future — an initiative Donald Trump is actively campaigning on in the lead-up to the 2024 presidential elections. Democratic Reps. Scott Peters (CA), Wiley Nickel (NC), Josh Gottheimer (NJ) and Donald Davis (NC) are each cosponsoring at least one of several proposed bills that would limit regulators’ ability to negotiate down prices of drugs covered by the Medicare government insurance program. The legislation would erode the drug-pricing reforms included in the Democrats’ 2022 Inflation Reduction Act — efforts that Peters, Nickel, and Gottheimer supported. (Davis had not yet been elected to Congress.) The four, who all hail from states with a major biotech or drug-industry presence, have together raked in more than $300,000 from pharmaceutical and health-products interests during the 2023–2024 congressional session.

>The International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust was a two-day conference in Tehran, Iran that opened on December 11, 2006. Iranian foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki said the conference sought "neither to deny nor prove the Holocaust… [but] to provide an appropriate scientific atmosphere for scholars to offer their opinions in freedom about a historical issue".
>Participants included American David Duke, a former Louisiana State Representative and ex-Ku Klux Klan leader, attended the conference.[11] Politician Georges Theil, a member of the French National Front who was convicted under France's Holocaust denial laws, attended,[11] as did the German-Australian Fredrick Töben, founder and head of the Adelaide Institute who had been imprisoned in Germany for three months in 1999 for Holocaust denial.[10][12] Robert Faurisson, a convicted Holocaust denier from France also attended,[13] as well as Ahmed Rami, a Swedish-Moroccan Holocaust denier who was imprisoned in Sweden for inciting racial hatred.[14] Psychologist Bendikt Frings, a leading member of the German National Democratic Party (NPD), was invited by Iranian Deputy Minister of Islamic Guidance Mohammad-Ali Ramin; Frings said that he had waited for such a conference "all my childhood".[15][16] The NPD is often considered the most significant Neo-Nazi party in Germany.[17][18]

what the fuck did Iran mean by this?

Dengism is a right-wing pragmatist deviation from orthodox Maoism, but then again, orthodox Maoism was a pragmatist deviation from orthodox Marxist-Leninism.

Deng was correct in MANY points, but the problem is that the society he and his successors built is lacking in ideological purity and ideological strength; its basis is a strong Party-State that can navigate the shoals of global capitalism and imperialism, but expressing itself, it degenerates the strength of the Party-State with capitalist corruption.

This is why Xi-ism is anti-Dengist; i.e, the Dengist program has been tried, and it's been shown to fail in its effects on society at large.

Thesis, Anti-Thesis, Synthesis. Hegelian dialectic, what's not to get?
