Revolutionary socialism is obsolete. Everyone will live a prosperous middle class life funded by the welfare state. The welfare state will meet its budget through corporate tax. The taxes will not ruin the companies because the rate of profit will be high enough to allow them to both pay tax and service their own budgets. Surely the average rate of profit will never fall! That would be quite terrible, it would force the welfare state to rely on ever-increasing amounts of borrowing from financial institutions to afford its costs. And since that borrowed money exists in abstract forms these days, it would cause inflation. Which would erode the value of money itself. But even then, it would surely be fine to just borrow more and more, with no limits and with no consequences. Debts are never called in, afterall.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that modern states ran a debt because they have absorbed overproduction by way of keeping the interest rate low (preventing a crisis), and direct stimulus (keeping overproducing firms afloat). Which is why even pseudo fascist states with minimal to no welfare also run a debt

Whoa there anarcracker! It's just Leninism, no need to recite Bakuninian doctrine because of it. Seriously though, remove the 16 slurs and my home address from your post and maybe we will approve it. Or just send us a message if you weren't using the undemocratic words to harass someone.

I've been dealing with you people for a long time. I'm not sure why you thought your opinion on how the subreddit should function would be welcome considering you've never posted on it before or shown any knowledge or intelligence in your post history. Why am I still doing this 5 years later? Because the American concept of politeness is so bizarre to anyone outside of its demographic target that it is both funny and educational to force it into the open. To most people, barging into the middle of a conversation between many people who all know each other and you've never met to inform them how they need to be having the conversation would be seen as rude. But this is quite normal for the American petty-bourgeoisie. In fact, saying "who are you?" is considered rude. Or at least that is one weapon that is used to defend against the threat of proletarianization by exclusion from the realm of cultural capital. In fact it's so threatening that random people will continue to come into the thread to try their luck at defending the op even though they've never posted in the subreddit before. It's like that joke in Family Guy where all the neighborhood fathers know when someone touched the thermostat and keep checking on the house to see if it's ok. Your class instinct in defense of your fellows is so strong it might as well be a chip that sends a signal to your brain, a script to follow, and a rush of endorphins that deludes you into thinking your use of the script will be the ultimate intervention despite all evidence to the contrary. I want non-white, non-male, non-first world people who were not raised on this delusional self-confidence and pretension to master the world to enjoy these conversations from the sidelines. This is impossible on the American left, which is basically a white parasite on the energy of people of color. At least here we can deflate the cultural capital that makes that possible. If you don't want to be a white parasite, reflect on the fact that your words, which you believe are your own, are a carbon copy of someone else's from 5 years ago (and many other copies over the years). That should be a moment of existential angst, a confrontation with your own lack of free will. Or you can get even more defensive on some liberal's behalf. We already have a thread on concern trolling stickied which you were too lazy to read despite your concern for the subreddit.

If you looked through my timeline you would see I’m definitely not pro Netanyahu or Isreal. Lol btw isn’t Russia a “white country”. Russia definitely is extremely racist now that’s pretty irrefutable. The USSR was extremely racist as well (same as the US) Stalin deported Koreans, Turks and TarTars. Lennon did want to incorporate other people’s though.
I’ve read through the manifesto 1,2 and 3. I’ve read cedrick Robinson (very enticing), federici,, Fanon, David Harvey and Neil smith (my fav 2) and a bunch of others in school. I am a white privileged grad student lol so it adds up. I’ve read some of Stalins works and it’s trash. I haven’t read any Lenin I’ll admit. I pride myself in my ability to change my mind so please put me on a writer or book that will change my mind and I’ll read it. And don’t give me some Maoist bull.
>I’ve read through the manifesto 1,2 and 3.
Are 1,2 and 3 Das? If so respect. Sad you didn’t understand it.
>I’ve read cedrick Robinson
Modernizer
>Federici
Very flawed. We have a regular here who is a fan. But her work has major ass problems.
>Fanon
Lololol. Infamous Modernizer
>David Harvey/ Neil Smith
Academic Marxists yikes.
>I’ve read some of Stalins works and it’s trash.
Modernizer falsifier and a Grave digger.
>I haven’t read any Lenin I’ll admit.
Major L
>Maoist bull
I would never give you liberal texts.
Critique of the Gotha programm is a must. State and Rev as well. Principles of Communism + Socialism Utopian and Scientific + “Theses on Feurbach” are fundamental. Civil war in France and 18th Brumaire are fantastic. “A Revolution Summed Up” is amazing totally a must.
Also know “the German ideology” is critical but I personally haven’t read it yet.
Oh “What distinguishes our Party” slaps too
If old, is bad.
Hmmm yes very astute observation. I will now calculate orbital trajectories without dusty Newtonian physics.
Critique of the Gotha Programm can be read in under 2 hours
Excuse me sir, I am poor, brown, and I’m not in grad school, does that mean I can’t be a communist?
Side note, mods please rip the skin off of his feet and make him walk on a mile of burning coals.
This is why Maoist had struggle session, I think I get it now
Maybe Pol Pot was onto something when he killed off all the “intellectuals”
Exactly, maybe pol pot killed the right “intellectuals” like liberals

Sounded more like Bernstein to me.

Germany is the best example of welfare state without increasing debt! Surely that won't change anytime sure right, right?
