its real simple bro. we're all sober and dedicated doctrinaire marxist-leninists, but because that's pretty boring, we all pretend to be other things, such as millennial christian socialists, australians, aestheto-fascists, degenerate id-monsters, schopenhauerian pessimists, asexuals, deleuzian schizoanalysts, people who wear baggy jeans and weird sunglasses, post-zionists, crack smokers, markov chain generators producing pages of vaguely lacanian nonsense, white supremacists, liberal trolls, adult converts to islam, radical misogynists, and tpaine. however we pretended to be those things for so long that we've actually turned into them. what does it even mean to 'be' something anyway

Good question. I just haven't intellectually advanced to that point yet.

if this is the vanguard of the modern left then given that we're all either liberals, fascists, people with a purely cultic-totemic attachment to 20th century dictators, or some combination of the three, that is one vanguard you DON'T want to seize the apparatus of the state

. they post the hitler-cathected posts you think but aren't brave enough to post. that forum's a wrecking crew full of bad mamma-jammas you DONT wanna mess with

Who mentioned that McCain article. There's some interesting stuff but this:

It may well be true that the working class is the only vehicle for achieving this, and that it must do so itself, as Marx and Engels also emphasized. While their arguments for this are not wholly conclusive, being largely an argument by elimination, it is certainly made plausible by the status of working people globally as the growing, concentrated, exploited force upholding the class system under capitalism. Under such conditions, it is certainly true that an emancipation of the working class would almost certainly require an abolition of the class and property relations that underpin global capitalism. But it also means that if socialism as a form of society could be achieved in some other way, then that would, to me, be equally desirable. The question is what works. Therefore, while it is certainly in most cases likely and plausible that the cause of the working class and the cause of socialism overlap, this is not an a priori necessity: it cannot be known beforehand, but must be examined in each case.

is scary. i fear our poor friend is degenerating into his bourgeois-academic marxist shell.

why? the labour aristocracy is still working class
