Let's not kid ourselves, there already is chaos, the difference between now and after a complete pull out is that right now there is an illusion of hope. As it seems with most US foreign operations, the grass is rarely greener on the other side.

How do you think would automation increase the likelihood of revolution? I agree that it can play a keyrole in reducing unpleasant work post-rev, but how exactly would it bring about revolution?
I've read somewhere that 70% of all work currently done by humans could be automated. Now I'm very skeptical of that number, but the statement offers an undeniable truth, also mentioned by the above posters: In most cases, human labor is still cheaper than automation, and as long as it stays that way, wage slavery will continue to exist in a capitalist system.
A possible, but IMO very far away, scenario would be the (inevitable) collapse of capitalism, once unemployment has risen so high that corporations can't sell their products anymore, which could follow from automation. But I'd think some sort of uprising would start way before we hit critical numbers. It should be noted though, that those uprisings aren't necessarily a good thing, as they can tend towards fascism and far right ideas just as well.

If the problem is the difference in attitude toward female sexuality and male sexuality why not instead demonise male sexuality. In other words instead of trying to make 'slut' a good thing to be, why not make 'player', 'stud' or hwatever an equally bad thing to be. Just my tupence worth.

I'm Q-collective (as you already have figured from my nick :P ) and I live in the Netherlands.
I'm a member of Offensief which is part of the Comittee for a Workers International.
I'm 21 and study social works.
I already became politcally counsiouss at a very early age, when I was 12 I already liked the idea of equality and power to the people, only to get disappointed by the fact that the Soviet Union was a despotic dictatorship...
At the age of 16 I got interested in politics again and soon after got interested in the Socialist Party, which is the most left wing party in the Netherlands of any size. I became a member at the age of 18 but after three years my feelings that the SP wasn't "it" become too strong and I went on looking for something else. That's how I came into contact with Offensief.
Offensief is working within the Socialist Party and thus uses entryism. This is because the SP is the most viable alternative for the lesser counsiouss parts of the working class and Offensief tries to reach them, using the SP as a platform.
I hope I'll post a lot in the future, but for now: Hi!

Apparently this monster of text was my first post (28 July 2009):
I read Empire a couple years back, and Multitude twice. I only recently "got" the argument, after getting acquainted with the likes of Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze.
There are way too many incoherent summaries floating around, so I'll just give a brief one before moving on to my criticisms:
Hardt and Negri propose that in place of the old Empires such as Britain and France, we have moved to a deterritorialized Empire composed of a global sovereign (the US, the G8), aristocracy (the IMF, World Bank) and people (NGOs). This is really a theory of what has mistakenly been called "globalization," and it's obvious Hardt and Negri are yet another set of contributors to the topic of "neoliberalism" and in particular the social and economic upheaval of the late 1960s and early 1970s which has led to such things as IMF structural adjustment programmes and Harvey-esque "flexible accumulation."
Hardt and Negri are proposing that their darstellung, method of presentation, begins with Empire, but in fact their forschung, object of research, is the new subject of resistance, the Multitude. The Multitude is all the people all over the world resisting capitalist globalization, who despite their differences come together and produce a common consisting in immaterial knowledge. Hardt and Negri refer to this as "singularity-commonality." The common is in fact exploited by Empire, and Hardt and Negri refer to this as a regime of biopower (see Foucault), or the control over life itself. Hardt and Negri are unsatisfied with orthodox Marxist accounts of center-periphery and world systems analysis, and thus they give their own postmodern spin to the "diffusion of power" through various social capillaries.
I think many criticisms of Hardt and Negri have been quite lazy. For example, the claim that they were proven "wrong" when Bush invaded Iraq, signalling perhaps the return to good old-fashioned imperialism (versus Empire's imperial, ie. deterritorialized, nature). The US has obviously crash landed in the Middle East, as Immanuel Wallerstein put it. More importantly, this criticism does not deal at a significant theoretical level with Hardt and Negri's argument.
My concern with them really lies with their abandoment of the theory of surplus value. While the Multitude is being "exploited" for its immaterial knowledge, and certainly we ought to move beyond archaic industrial working-class unionism, we still produce material commodities. I admire Negri's previous work before Hardt, especially Marx Beyond Marx, because he offers a penetrating analysis into the concealment of the exploitation of surplus value by the money form, specifically the wage. I thought his call to build proletarian institutions very useful. Now, however, his "real subsumption" claim, that all time is capitalist time, has driven him towards a new idealism with Hardt that doesn't account for the continuing active conflict between the proletariat and capital. The Multitude is not an effective substitute for the proletariat, and Marx is still completely relevant in this regard.
My other main concern with Hardt and Negri is their heavy-handed emphasis on Deleuzian ontology. Anyone who does not philosophically agree with Deleuze, in particular his "vitalism" that I perceive to be an inheritance from Bergson and Nietzsche, will be wholly unconvinced by Hardt and Negri. There is too much piecemeal subsitution in Empire and Multitude, rather than continuing with Negri's careful Marxian analysis. I have read and enjoyed Deleuze, but I am wary of an unabashed Deleuzianism. In particular, Black and Third World scholars have been able to show that this Deleuzianism conceals, for example, the colonial topology of "Universal Being" (see Nelson Maldonado-Torres' critique).
In sum, before anyone reads Empire or Multitude, I highly recommend they look into Negri's earlier work, especially Marx Beyond Marx to witness the true potential of what has now become a watered-down, and dare I say, fashionable treatise.

That post is actually very helpful...I read Empire and was like "WTF?" for a good 2/3rds of it...basically anything related to Spinoza or Deleuze or anyone else that they bring up, as I have only the barest of understandings regarding their thought. Multitude was a bit more accessible.

17th of juli 2007:
twas inderdaad een groep turken/koerden (weet niet precies welke groep, volgens mij defsol of hoe die tegenwoordig ook mogen heten). ze reipen het merendeel van hun leuzen in het (naar ik aanneem) turks, maar ze gingen regelmatig een lijstje af met marx, lenin, stalin en dan een aantal turkse namen.
wel grappig die commie reflex van de nazi's, ik denk dat van de 250 mensen op de demo 4/5e anarcho/syndicalist was maar ze zien 1 hamer en sikkel en ze zijn er heilig van overtuigd dat we allemaal stalinisten zijn.
de IS is ook altijd een enorme bliksemafleider als het om fascho aandacht gaat.
denk ook niet dat je groepen moet verbieden om op antifa acties te komen (behalve misschien de grijzewolven) maar dat je wel kan vragen om je te beperken tot leuzen die over het onderwerp gaan. (tenslotte mogen de ALF'rs ook niet een mcdonalds gaan punken vanuit een afa demo)
discussion about an AFA counterdemo and the fact that some kurds/leftwing turks joined the demo but kept on chanting the names of glorious leaders, i think it took me almost an full year before i started posting outside the dutch section.

Not a bad post at all, compared to all the dumb bullshit I probably posted around that time. But now that I've gone back and read some of those, they're not half bad either. I do recall posting loads of dumb bullshit in some period or another, but maybe that was the year after. I also remembered making whiny threads in the Members' Forum about the evils of the Commie Club and about being flamed by NoXion, but I couldn't find those back either.
Another thing that I remember from that time was that the atmosphere in the Dutch forum was really negative and hateful, and the fact that I and other people in my organisation began posting there only made matters worse. Before that, the forum was basically divided between hardcore anarchists and reformist SP wimps. When we came in, it turned into a three-way fight, and just about every thread there would turn into a flame war at some point. It got much better later on though. The reformist kids went inactive and lots of newer users joined.

We were the only commies in ROOD, so our lone papersales and trying to convince people to a more activist and anti-capitalist attitude was the frequent target of mocking by rightwing ROOD members (often leadership figures or careerists buzzing around them).
I believe you might be refering to Revolutionary Mad Red Dog who got expelled from ROOD in October 2008 for trying to mobilize other ROOD members to an antifascist demonstration in Cologne (oh noes!). I never got expelled from ROOD specifically, but from the SP (and thus from ROOD) last year September, basically for being a commie.

Yeah, I know. I just don't get why they got rid of you guys. I mean, with all due respect, I don't think you posed any long-term threat to all the little bureaucrats and careerists.

My first post was my introduction. My second was this:
After a few more posts in that thread I admitted I was talking out of my arse. I had such twatty opinions back then, though.
I actually largely agree with the sentiment. Let us demonise all sexuality.
Anyhow, my first post seems to be this:
Firstly, the rich control the media, which has a huge influence on the elections. However, what then prevents a candidate from sucking up to business interests during the elections, then implementing strongly populist tactics, or even some promises that he ran on? Nothing much. So, let's say Obama did it, then what? As Chomsky said, when "popular reform candidates . . . get elected . . . you get [a] capital strike -- investment capital flows out of the country, there's a lowering of investment, and the economy grinds to a halt . . . The reason is quite simple. In our society, real power does not happen to lie in the political system, it lies in the private economy; that's were the decisions are made about what's produced, how much is produced, what's consumed, where investment takes place, who has jobs, who controls the resources, and so on and so forth. And as long as that remains the case, changes inside the political system can make some difference -- I don't want to say it's zero -- but the differences are going to be very slight."
Also, to quote Doug Henwood, "[p]ublic debt is a powerful way of assuring that the state remains safely in capital's hands. The higher a government's debt, the more it must please its bankers. Should bankers grow displeased, they will refuse to roll over old debts or to extend new financing on any but the most punishing terms (if at all). The explosion of [US] federal debt in the 1980s vastly increased the power of creditors to demand austere fiscal and monetary policies to dampen the US economy as it recovered . . . from the 1989-92 slowdown."
Nothing particularly awful, although my analysis wasn't particularly developed at the time and I was basically regurgitating the Anarchist FAQ to some degree, although I had also referred to it at around the same time as, "a great resource on anything except Marx." Still, the quotes aren't particularly bad, and it's actually quite useful to be reminded of their existence.
On the other hand, I was also going around quoting Marx's conspectus of Bakunin, so not entirely removed from my current self. Also, my taste in music seems to have remained somewhat regular, including making fun of 'St. Anger' from time to time, except that back then I didn't know of much techno-thrash, and thought that Operation Mindcrime was a great album.
Also, it seems that I had noticed Jacob Richter (Die Neue Zeit) fairly early.
Never heard the word "spoilsport". Here we say "party pooper". Over here we use 'Social spoilsportocrat who is a rejectist of bourgeois partymentarism'.

The main reason I'm an anarchist is because I'm skeptical of a socialist party ever taking power since to do that they'd have to appeal to the middle classes to gain votes and thus lose their revolutionary ardour as evidenced by the development of the British Labour Party. If the option was given to me though I'd gladly put my name next to a socialist party with a chance of victory on the condition that they were at least moderate civil libertarians.

It will be interesting to see how this goes.
I hope that racist doesn't get up to high..I suppose it doesn't make any difference. Howard, Hanson, Debnam, are all fucking racist.
Gem.
Also, this is for Jazzratt:
'm a vegan.
Sorry, but I find alot of these "justifications" for eating meat kind of ...ridiculous.
The most common one being "I like the taste...".
You know, that' spretty pathetic.
And it's no different to an arguement like "I like being rich because I love living in luxury".
The difference being, it's an a non human animal.
It's still exploitation; you're still merely using them as a product, not as a living thing; and you still don't have any fucking right to do it.
I mean, you can't find a justifaction for exploiting something because it "tastes nice". That's fucking bullshit. Nothing short of it.
And on another point! Why is that the arguement that "all other animals do it, go tell them not to eat meat" is constantly brought up!?? Don't you realise that that arguement is moronic??
Other animals do not farm other animals. None. No animal but humans do it.
If you want to use that arguement, then go out and hunt animals with your bare hands, then it might hold some ground; but until then, you're arguement is worthless.
Humans do not need to eat meat, it is far from a necessity.
-----
And also, to the person who said it makes no difference if you eat meat or vegetables some CEO is going to profiting from it; that's bullshit too.
That completely rules out any organic farms; growing vegetables at home, or anything of that nature. Those things do exist.
And another difference is, yeah, there's a huge fuckign difference anyway. Eating meat = The senseless slaughter and rape of another creature purely to suit your desires.
Vegetables = A necessity.
Animal liberation is human liberation.
When every cage is broken, and every chain is broken, we will be free.

Hahaha, what a wonderful idea to browse through your posts. Mine is not that embarrassing when it comes to my ideology, but I was such a newbie to the whole internet forum grrrrr world. I didn't even know the difference between a thread and a post. :blushing:
Kako je prosla tribina?
p.s.
ovo je moj prvi post,reply,thread ili kako god vec da se zove u zivotu....tako da imajte razumevanja ako nesto budem brljao.
Roughly translated:
How did it go?
By the way, this is my first post,reply,thread or whatever that is that you call this in my life... so be understanding if I mess a few things up

I believe Wiebe (a rabid anti-communist in ROOD at the time, but particularly hateful of CWI-members) got restricted which got a huge troll here out of the way which in turn indeed did improve the climate a lot :)
Why was some reformist, anti-communist shit from ROOD posting (or allowed to) on RevLeft in the first place? :confused:

My first one isn't that impressive.
Here's one I've heard a lot and I still can't believe how ignorant and brainwashed you'd have to be to believe this: "Socialists want everyone to be slaves in state owned farms and factories." This myth seems to have spread like wildfire around my area.
That was November 14, 2009.

It's a little hard to find nowadays, but Sam Dolgoff's "The anarchist collectives; workers’ self-management in the Spanish Revolution, 1936-1939" put out by Free Life Editions takes a pretty neat view on things.
I wonder what happened to all our apostrophes.

Seeing and then remembering some of the more prominent posters of that time has been the most enjoyable part of this memory lane thing for me.
It's almost like it was a different forum. Fucking weird.
