Commiebros, how do we cope with the fact that our system of government rose from obscurity to planetary dominion and then disgracefully collapsed into a pile of rubble, all within a 100 years? Its entire life cycle lasted less than it takes Catholic church to complete a single reform. It's like we are a fruit fly while they are a mighty oak. How do we become the K-strategist?
Read Marx, Lenin, hell even Mao, Trotsky, Castro and Stalin about their experiences in their respective revolutions.There is literally nothing stopping the people right now from rising up en masse liquidating and the capitalist parasites and their guard dogs. The only thing that's stopping them is concessions, being bought off and ideology. The revolution always starts from a minority and then slowly spreads. Once it starts it is unstoppable. The problem is most Marxists today think communism is a religion and if you tinker it you "ptolemize" the system against inevitable capitalist reaction or reform/fascism. No, its just a tool at getting towards a revolution. Not all revolutions are the same and not all have the same results, but the history of humanity is a series of revolutions, this is an iron law of history Marx discovered, that history has contradictions and they are expressed in class struggle. Communism is *not* state building, it is the antithesis of capitalist labor relations and accumulation of profit and at some critical juncture the contradiction explodes into class struggle.There is no final goal, that there is a final goal is a Fukuyamaist liberal progressivist ideology.
>>18364134external factors + inability to find a suitable economic system that could overcome capitalism.It's a bit like democracy : prior to the late 19th century, most democratic project had been failures who had backslided into authoritarian projects. There were many reasons for this, but most of them essentially boiled to an inability to find a balanced system that didn't rely on spontaneous democratic revolutionary spirit and to fend off outside coups.The same thing happened with socialism. Lenin and other """true""" commies were never able to find a functionning economic model, which meant that they had to rely on authoritarian repression to get people to do things. Ironically enough, perhaps if the prague springs and the hungarian revolts had worked we could have had some working democratic socialist countries.>>18364144>its just a tool at getting towards a revolution. [...] the history of humanity is a series of revolutions>Communism is *not* state building, it is the antithesis of capitalist labor relations and accumulation of profit and at some critical juncture the contradiction explodes into class struggle.This. People don't understand Marx because he is much simpler to understand than they expect. Marx's thought is essentially discovering that major change in society occurs when multiple social group's existence/needs can't be reconciled with other's existence/needs. His economic theories are more or less focused on proving how capitalism antagonizes the proles and the bourgeoisie and creates conditions in which both can't be reconciled.Most people don't understand this simple fact because they either interpret society uniquely through liberal lens and posit everything through the individual, or because they try to explain the deviance in socialist movements from the 20th century iterations through Marx's works.
>>18364144Marx was an idiot who didn’t know what he was talking about. “Capitalism is oppressive” is a conspiracy theory no less bullshit than flat earth.“Dialectical materialism” and “historical materialism” are mythology.
That wasnt real communism, real communism hasnt been tried.We just need to give it another chance, it will work this time.
