India renamed to Bharat Anonymous 2023-09-07 (Thu) 18:44:29 No.473096 [Reply]

India renamed it self, a bit like Turkey recently was renamed into Türkiye. However unlike Türkiye which makes a nice sound, Bharat sounds harsh like somebody burping during speech. They're undoing the colonial naming legacy and have been renaming their cities for some time, but they could have picked a nicer name for their country. Oh well.

I wonder if BRICS for Brazil, Russia, India, China and South-Africa , now has to be spelled BRBCS. 'Brubkess' def. is a downgrade from 'Bricks' too.

Yes the organized farmers in India have that, however if they take over they would need the help of the Chinese to survive the geopolitical environment in the immediate aftermath.

But the Chinese will not participate in anything that looks like regime change.

That equation only changes if the Indian ruling class declared war against China, and a alternative revolutionary government declared peace. Then the Chinese could say that they recognize which ever government offers them peaceful coexistence. Nobody could accuse them off exporting the revolution if they just choose peace over war.

The Indian Ruling class is not stupid, they're not going to pick a fight with China. So unless something else shakes loose an opportunity, the farmers are kinda stuck.

What's the deal with the French?

So they form some big "left" coalition to push back against Macron and overwhelm le Pen's party in the recent election… and then they immediately nominate another neoliberal technocrat for prime minister who went to same schools as Macron? How could this do anything but discredit themselves and open a wide lane for more support for the hard right? I don't understand how France can have all these ostensibly left formations and still end up serving the status quo.

Maybe there is a reshuffling of who is favored, different privileges doled out in the top echelons of society and dribbled down. It's very easy to feed slop to the lower orders and they'll think they received a gift from God. Every time you do the performative politics ideology, you feed that. I don't know why you faggots keep doing it.

Eugene 2024-08-13 (Tue) 06:52:46 No.483456

Politics after 2000 is entirely an interest of the top echelons - and really this is how it always is. Mass politics was always a delusion when it was done in this abstracted way, divorced from anything a mass political base does. There is this strange and infantile belief that politics is ruled by "me wantee" and empty sentiments, and it's always faggotry. In the past, there were more crumbs handed down, and less ability to really impose will on the lower orders. It was easier for us to keep our head down and let the rulers do their thing, and there was enough self-interest to keep this functional enough. After 1970, it was open season. The favored interests of the middle clamored for blood far more than the rulers themselves - just as they were trained. Every time you encourage that, you're only becoming a greater and deeper fag.

Why did the Western far-left become the 2SLGBTQRPGMMO+++ rainbow mafia?
It genuinely is perplexing to me that Western leftists seem to hold even the most absurd AGP sex fetish shit and BPD tumblr furry xenogender larping as the most ultimate leftist purity test, yet then will accept literal fucking Capitalists into the movement wihtout hesitation.
I used to think this shit was exaggerated, but it's honestly not, most western leftist spaces are just rainbow mafia/idpol obsessed and you can't push back on even the most absurd, eye rolling narratives, without getting asked to leave, or if online, copping a ban, this includes communities like leftypol(dot)org.
Even holding the same policy positions, as most Communist Parties in the Global South, will get you banned from basically any Westoid "Leftist" space. Leftypol lets you claim Xi is based or whatever, but if you actually espouse his policies, enjoy your ban because it doesn't align with Western Idpol shit.
Why is the Western left like this? Don't they realise that this shit makes them look like absolute pozzed student larping retards to the majority of the working class?
Would most Western "leftists" even want to live in a Working Class led society? They do realise the Working Class is largely soft-Socially Conservative right?

I would say that fundamentally this kind of idpol stems from narcissism. I put forth a theory a while back that it's a reflection of the politics of dominant class in society. In post-industrial financialized economies, that class is finance capitalists. What are the psychological characteristics of finance capitalists? Always there is an obsession with image and presentation, advertising yourself to investors to a point where it becomes utterly phony and narcissistic. The ruling class then creates institutions that valorize and propagate these traits, in order to reproduce their class, until those traits start to trickle down into the rest of society. I never looked further into this, but it would be confirmatory if a place like Singapore had similar narcissist-driven politics and culture.

If this theory is correct, it highlight's Michael Hudson's frequent point about strategy: we may have to first win the war against finance capitalists. We may then be able to bring the class struggle back to workers vs industrial capitalists after the finance narcissists are no longer able to infect movements with this class-cracking bullshit.

https://www.britannica.com/story/why-did-the-soviet-union-collapse
>By some measures, the Soviet economy was the world’s second largest in 1990, but shortages of consumer goods were routine and hoarding was commonplace. It was estimated that the Soviet black market economy was the equivalent of more than 10 percent of the country’s official GDP. Economic stagnation had hobbled the country for years, and the perestroika reforms only served to exacerbate the problem. Wage hikes were supported by printing money, fueling an inflationary spiral. Mismanagement of fiscal policy made the country vulnerable to external factors, and a sharp drop in the price of oil sent the Soviet economy into a tailspin.

>Are you going to ignore all the achievements they made, like beating the Nazis, going to space, pulling everyone out of poverty and giving them education and healthcare?
All of which happened much sooner in countries outside the USSR. Except maybe the space thing which was a waste of time. You shouldn't be celebrating weapons research while your people are starving to death. Japan got fucking nuked twice and still came out ahead of Russia.

The customs of the Jews are base and abominable and owe their persistence to their depravity. Jews are extremely loyal to one another, always ready to show compassion, but towards every other people they feel only hate and enimity. As a race (the Jews are not a race, because they have mingled with the other races to the point that they are only a people, not a race), they are prone to lust; among themselves nothing is unlawful.

A cult works by making fake rules and regulations regarding who is good and who is bad. So, if you eat food A you are scum! If you wear your hair like style B you are scum! If you didn't learn ABC, you are scum!

That allows the cult members to judge outsiders as scum. So, Bagels were actually made by Polish people, but they were scum with unclean hands, etc so jews made a smaller version so they wouldn't have to buy from the Polish scum.

That's how that works.

So, the plan of bigoted jews is to make society into what they believe about people.

If our society is filled with nice families, educated people, men and women will good morals and values, etc then that means the jews are WRONG. If people are naturally good, then it invalidates their hate group religion.

So, jews make it so that people can't get money, get frustrated, they spread anti-family values, spread porn to pervert people, spread abortion, feminism to make men and women hate each other, and so on. The Jewish politics in the US are not about social improvement, they are about hate and division.

That turns society into a ghetto. So, that confirms their bias that people are infidel scum.

There was an actual recession 4 years ago circa COVID, essentially a simultaneous COVID-related recession & gas-related recession, but it was conveniently contained through the COVID procedures. Tbh that itself was sort of an economic blessing, as there was already a recession on the way, and they'd probably have struggled much more to shorten a more 'normal' recession. That sudden wave of massive, rapid, temporary unemployment could well have interrupted the natural course of capitalist bedshitting and delayed the inevitable by a few years.

Recessions are caused by investment strikes, most of the time.
The neo-liberal period is one of reduced investment into the productive forces. So if you really stretch the definition, you could maybe say neo-liberalism is a long recession.

So basically you're saying they blamed, the recession that was already happening, on covid.

Not exactly.
There was a recession which was (probably) already happening, but the massive hits to the hospitality industry, hits to travel, massive deaths, changes to procedure which slowed production, and massive labor shutdowns were all things specific to COVID. Even if the stuff with Saudi Arabian & Russian petrol had snowballed, it wouldn't be likely to be that dramatic, but there would still have been at least some downturn that year even without COVID, and it's possible that worse would have come that year or shortly after if COVID hadn't had such a rapid, dramatic effect.

Cockshott is probably the best Socialist theorist of our age, he's completely BTFO'ed all arguments against Marx's Law of Value, he's empirically proven that Economic Planning is 100% possible with current data sets and modern computation, he's shown that current economic theory is based on complete woo that doesn't hold up to basic mathematical scrutiny or even basic logic.
The thing is, because all his online content is extremely complex, technical post-grad level university lectures, it's hard to get his idea's out there. Which I think why as Socialists, we should try present his arguments, theories and evidence in a far more presentable, digestable, ELI5 fashion for Normies.
What made classic Leftypol good is that we were able to present Socialist content for normies that would be shared by Zoomers and such. So I think a good project for us on this board, would be to work How the World Works (https://libgen.rocks/ads.php?md5=0f775aef8cbe24a8978e115669bfcdfb) into a decent Youtube series that explains how we can build a new economic order in the not too distant future.
