what's the context of the picture of macron with those handsome shirtless gentlemen
#1211
he was visiting saint martin and stopped for photo ops with the poors. there was another similar photo in which one of the shirtless men is giving the finger to the camera and le pen and her ilk held it up as evidence macron isn't fit for office, lol

an amerikkkan vet falling for petit bougie reaction is as surprising as the amerikkkan "left" falling for it as well

Unsure about English, I would earnestly recommend scouring the Wiki citations.

This guy founded the National Bolshevik party in '93, and only apologises for Stalin insofar as pan-Slavism and right-Hegelian political tendencies are concerned.

thx. this is a p deep rabbithole. wish we had a halloween themed "putin's brain" emoticon

a fun fact about dugin is that back in like the 80s he had a corny acoustic guitar musical project, sort of analogous to the right wing dudes who would go on to create neofolk even though there was no direct connection between them.

how the hell does the world's most misguidedly nice man manage to get himself banned from twitter. did they finally make him snap when we couldn't or someth? amazing



the odyssey of Communist Fl☭nders is a microcosm of the secret origin story of the post-Laissez's Faire online left. every English-speaking "leftist" on Twitter had turned into DSA-style LF-lite over the years after original LF was shut down, then they encountered an offsite-LF Diet Mustang refugee after we IFAP'd him, and in a few months he managed to piss off every single one of them just by being a completely sincere Protestant Strasserite. meanwhile, mustang himself languishes in multiple-re-reg obscurity on the same platform. this outcome is not Marxist and consistently erases class.

#1219
I think it's kind of adorable though, given the swift rise and fall of Strasserism on the online right in previous years, how many right-wing NEET failsons you can still find on Twitter who preach "unity" between the "authoritarian right" and the "authoritarian left" by pointing out that on America's Sweetheart The Political Compass, those totally real political camps are right next to each other. I guess that sort of philosophy comes from the same sort of combination of 1) irony poisoning, and 2) not understanding anything you read, that used to afflict a few people on older versions of LF, but you'd think just a steady diet of getfiscal's memes would make those kids understand that Leninists don't even have the option of transferring the motive power of history from the revolutionary struggle of the workers to Jayden D. Deficiency in Sioux Falls.

i remember watching this live, while posting in LF or D&D, and when he said this there was just 3 pages of people just posting INTERNETS. this was a formative political experience in my life.

d&d always exhibited the muscular power of putting themselves preemptively behind the curve. like, their brightest shining star was nobody until somebody killed him
#1223
Slightly tangential but I'm not sure we've seen the "fall" portion of online Strasserism yet. I think it is rather dangerously on the rise--right now there's a minor DSA debate on about a 1500 member Reddit of irony bro dipshits who were too anti-idpol for Chapo circles and I know nothing will be done to purge this type of person from the largest "socialist" organization in the US. That this crowd makes up a large portion of the DSA was never a secret and of course they are really only marginally involved in politics but it's still a big drain on any potential organizing in the US. Like I just came across this horrible article today that I could only stumble through a few paragraphs of: https://www.thecut.com/2018/10/profile-red-scare-podcast.html. We've been taught that socialism is when the government does stuff, but now people are also saying that socialism is when you call people "gay retards".I'm becoming increasingly skeptical that the new interest in socialism in the US is just going to turn into nihilism or people like Commie Flanders who want free college and healthcare but also a return to "traditional values". If only Flanders had been able to improve his writing he would've gotten a WaPo column.

that's like, a brooklyn podcast featuring a bunch of The Last Psychiatrist trauma cases. it has nothing to do with anything else, really, and it's just your normal DSA social-fash content, people only know what it is because one of the hosts trolled an awkward Alex Jones interviewer.

#1228
that anna woman is literally a strasserite.

in other news i saw someone pos tthis on SA's new fake lf

Now I'm just a combination hoxhaist and strasserist because Trump proved anything is possible, but I have no hope anyone listens to me since my friends and family who held elected office are all out of said office and just do lobbying that goes nowhere

the fail portion of online strasserism
#1230
Well I guess I’m overreacting but if overt fascism is on the rise then it stands to reason that Strasserism as a branch of this will keep cropping up in these types of forms. The military is in one aspect a social democratic program for sociopathic settlers and Trump made cynical references to health care programs—do you really think it’s thar much of a stretch that some Jordan peterson knockoff wont start calling for free college and Medicare for all? Using another fringe ideology, you can say that ancaps are not connected to reality and that’s true but at the same time there’s thugs with black and gold Pinochet shirts beating the shit out of people at rallies

Not sure what she calls herself but she's a TLP fanatic who didn't call everything gay until people got mad at her for it. I don't think she has a political line and in any case she doesn't represent any sort of grouping or movement at all besides DSA Brooklyn pod kid.

#1235
Like... it's hard to overstate the gap between what I'm talking about, the sharp rise and fall of 4chan failson flyover-country Strasserism a few years back, and a small group of edge-squatter Bernie Sanders voters centered in NYC whose pseudo-platform is We Want Significant Discounts On Dental You Faggots. In large part because the second group includes a lot of irony-poisoned women striving toward yuppiehood. I imagine a few of the former have ended up silently following the latter, but I feel like only certain DSA members themselves would see the latter as meaningfully distinct from the DSA rank-and-file.
#1236
These people aren't something limited to NYC. Maybe their exact brand is but there's lots of Bernie supporters and squishy 'leftists' (read: white men 20somethings) who are getting increasingly pissed about identity politics and organizations putting the oppressed first. This was Caleb Maupin's stated reason for leaving WWP and creating his cracker left org. But its also the reason I've had 'anarchists' spit in my face at rallies while wearing t-shirts with assads face on it while justifying egoism. These people aren't going away, they just look different in different locales.
#1237
Is his cracker org the Worker's League or something like that? I know some folks who might be plunging headfirst into getting a branch off the ground.

Communist Workers League? That's the Detroit/Rockford trot split from WWP. Best of luck, Detroit is tearing itself apart cuz the MLs there have had a trot in their ear for years and only just now realized hes a trot. Expulsions abound, less than a dozen there now.
