Yesterday at 2pm, CNBC acts as the only mainstream news outlet to upload a release over a new lawsuit claiming evidence of the Federal government and top US banks colluding to launder 43 trillion dollars, enough to pay off the entire US debt almost 3 times over.
The orginal CNBC article was pulled but here is the WSJ
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/major-banks-governmental-officials-and-their-comrade-capitalists-targets-of-spire-law-group-llps-racketeering-and-money-laundering-lawsuit-seeking-return-of-43-trillion-to-the-united-states-treasury-2012-10-25

3 and a half hours later that same day (reported on today), the daughters of the executive of CNBC’s digital division (read: their website) are both killed by the family's nanny who was supposedly “a very nice woman”, “very religious”, and “has always been very, very stable”.

No one will give a fuck about this and wright it off as a coincidence. Fuck the people of America, you deserve every bit of the economic hell that is coming.
No one will be punished, there will be not protest, no out cry, not nothing. Fuck America, fuck the banks.

My oh my, well isn't this cute, a third worldist is spewing all sorts of moralist garbage attacks on American proletarians because they're not as "aware" or "enlightened" as he/she is. And if we're going to morally attack people on this sort of level, we may as well blame them for their social being, after all, to idealists, consciousness determines social being, and not the other way around! Makes you wonder why you'd even call yourself a communist, if you'd ever adhere to such nonsense. Sorry, milkmiku, on behalf of the American proletariat, I'm sorry that they are incapable of fully intellectually repelling bourgeois-state propaganda that is shoved up their asses on a consistent basis, I'm sorry that within the capitalist mode of production, false consciousness is an actual social component of production, I'm oh so very sorry, you're right, it's the fault of the workers themselves on an individual level that they haven't reached even an elementary form of class consciousness.
Even sadder, your rhetoric about the "American people". It's funny because Third worldists are completely incapable of formulating even the most basic and elementary form of a class analysis, instead, they have to categorize states by their "people", and as a result formulating an obscure geopolitical conception of our world, that it's "X people" vs. "X. people" (First world, vs Third world, etc.). Really, I can't say I blame third worldists, their beliefs are not really just misunderstandings in themselves, they are a direct reflection of their own stupidity. So, milkmiku, who are the "American people" and why do they, of a sudden, share a homogeneous interest? Yes, let's throw away over a hundred years of Marxism in light of this prospect, something which I'm sure no one has ever addressed, previously in the history of our existence.

In the first place, a lawsuit is not a finding of fact. It's just an allegation or cluster of allegations. Anyone can sue anybody for anything, and they often do. I can file a lawsuit tomorrow alleging that you are mentally disturbed (due to that water supply issue) and that you need to be committed to a psychiatric hospital. Will I win?
Let's see if these plaintiffs prove some part of this lawsuit before we go smashing the windows of Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan. Since the entire money supply of the entire world is certainly less than $100 trillion, the whole claim sounds preposterous on its face. Maybe I'm wrong. That's what trials are meant to sort out.
What I fear will happen is that the courts will eventually dismiss the suit as crackpot, which will make you think that capitalist judges are in on the big conspiracy, too.
Sorry, milkmiku, on behalf of the American proletariat, I'm sorry that they are incapable of fully intellectually repelling bourgeois-state propaganda
Did you look at the list of defendants? A lawsuit claiming money laundering by the Chairman of Citigroup and the Attorney General of the USA is not "bourgeois-state propaganda." You are far more mis-informed than milkmiku.

I agree with all this, but to be fair, I feel the OP's frustration in a way. As an American myself, I see the anti-socialist and Marxist rhetoric around me everyday, and I can't help but think that these people live in one big giant bubble of Stockholm Syndrome. I remind myself though that this is the fault of capitalist hegemony, and not because they are American or any particular nationality. This reactionary tripe isn't unique to America of course, but when you live in a certain place and see it all the time day after day, that tends to be the first thing you lash out at.

I blame the constant pro-capitalist propaganda.
Don't know about the US, but here in the Netherlands, i'd say about 70% only knows the bad-communism, 20% knows the true story but still thinks capitalism is best, 9.5% likes communism but doesn't think it will ever happen and about 0.5% probably visits this site...
A very rough estimate by me. (no official figures, but it sure feels this way)

Although the op is wrong in targeting workers of one particular nation, he is right in a general sense that workers are essentially ignorant, violent, and reactionary. No amount of denial will change that. Lenin and Trotsky recognized this, hence the idea of vanguard. Workers cannot be trusted to do anything right - they need a guiding hand from the enlightened class among them, namely the class-conscious vanguard.

Are you denying that most workers the world over aren't given to reactionary thoughts and ideals? Are you saying most of them are class-conscious? If you are, consider this. Who is racist toward immigrant workers? Other workers ... which is why the bourgeois' anti immigrant policies are often successful. The same goes for sexism, homophobia, pretty much everything. It is easy to blame the ruling class, but the truth is that workers actively rather than reluctantly participate in this system.

OP, the condition of the US public getting obviously screwed, and yet being oblivious to said screwing, is really a condition of people the world over. Some say that it's just the way the human race is: a majority of people get screwed, and then there's a much smaller class of people who are doin' the screwin'. I think it's a little more complicated than that, but you get the idea.
So really there's nothing to single out America for in this particular regard...

I fully disagree with the badly misprogrammed and misguided so called communists who are unable to correctly blame a large section of the US populace namely every registered and voting Democrat and Republican. That large group of people endorse the crimes of murderous wars and capital conquest carried out by their government.
I have little doubt that the most vociferous people in this thread and on this board saying don't blame the people are registered and/or voting Republicans and Democrats. People call cry reactionary all day, that slur is meaningless in the face of reality.

That's a pretty vast oversimplification of what the vanguard is. It is not the 'most intellectually advanced heroes of socialist thought that will lead the ape-like working people to revolution', as comrade Beeth, the 'Green Socialist' pigs of the middle-east and many other autocrats will tell you. It is a mass movement composed of the working class in it's near entirety. An empowering force that expands to all political, economic and social levels, it is the ultimate form of proletarian organisation.
The stuff about 'enlightened intelligentsia' is a disgusting abberation of what is supposed to happen at the beginnings of the class consciousness' spread: a minority of communist proles who try their best to educate and agitate the working class around them so as to add said working class to their make. This is naturally the case with every organisation on the planet, and is in no way, shape or form anything like the petit-bourgious crap that this 'trot' is unloading.
Also, could the folks in this topic continue your argument about positions on the above in another thread? It's sad that threads with interesting potential like this get trashed because of an emotional comment at the beginning that everybody pounces on, and we should try to stop it as best we can.

Well, to be honest, the definitions aren't necessarily separate at all. As a mass proletarian movement, the vanguard would be led by that same class alone. All provisional members in charge of regulative positions (some could call them leaders) would not only be put in said positions by the proletariat themselves, but would also be subject to the decision of the remaining members.

If this lawsuit is going somewhere, and the deaths of the two children do have something to do with it, this is important. We have enough threads about the vanguard system, go talk about it there.

Are you fucking joking? He wrote "the Americans deserve the economic hell that is coming to them." Whether or not he calls himself a thrid-worldist or not he sure thinks like one dividing different workers into "peoples" or throwing everything out as a piss from America. In America we are literally taught in school that communism could never work, that communist leaders were worse than Hitler and books like Animal Farm are part of the curriculum with an anti-communist nterpretation of it enforced by the English teachers. And then even if you do go out and independently learn about socialism nearly every available source accepts anti-communists as fact so worry that the idiot Americans maliciously choose to be ignorant.

All human behavior and action is learned comrade. It is a reflection of current economic, political, and social conditions. If people grow up in a socialist society, they are going to be cooperative, respectful and understanding of one another, and just happier in general.

Back to the topic at hand, Still no big news outlet has talked about this, It'll be swept under the rug in a week or tow, just like the Icelandic Revolution, and be called a "hoax" or "error of judgment".
I truly feel bad for the mans family who had to suffer because of this. Goes to show how far the power that be will go and that the will kill you and get away wit it if they need to.

You are right that environment shapes behavior. But we shouldn't on this account slip into some sort of determinism - we are not helpless machines programmed by the environment. We are free, thinking individuals who are being influenced by economic conditions and such - which means we do have the capacity to change our thinking patterns, to break free. Else, there would be no commies, since most of them were raised in reactionary homes, anti communist countries.

Whether or not he calls himself a thrid-worldist or not he sure thinks like one dividing different workers into "peoples" or throwing everything out as a piss from America. In America we are literally taught in school that communism could never work, that communist leaders were worse than Hitler and books like Animal Farm are part of the curriculum with an anti-communist nterpretation of it enforced by the English teachers. And then even if you do go out and independently learn about socialism nearly every available source accepts anti-communists as fact so worry that the idiot Americans maliciously choose to be ignorant. Fuck off.
I frankly don't care where his or your political alignment lies. This thread is about suspicion of a carer murdering a rich couple's kids for economic interests, not about how many reactionaries (protip: there's only one, and they're restricted for being....reactionary!) you can shove on your pike. If you want to have that conversation, have it with him and in another thread.

I truly feel bad for the mans family who had to suffer because of this. Goes to show how far the power that be will go and that the will kill you and get away wit it if they need to.
Who had to suffer because of what? The money laundering, the story, the "cover up", or the nutty-sounding lawsuit?
The link between the killings and any of these four is not apparent.

So you believe in free will and biological human nature? Sounds pretty un-Marxist to me. In fact, its beyond that - it is simply wrong, both historically and anthropologically.
All human behavior and action is learned comrade. It is a reflection of current economic, political, and social conditions. If people grow up in a socialist society, they are going to be cooperative, respectful and understanding of one another, and just happier in general. Put them in a capitalist society, they are going to be competitive, greedy, individualistic, and murderous towards one another. This is basic Marxist knowledge man, you should know this stuff.
When you use the words all and always you are wrong almost all the time. You are speaking in too absolutist of terms and saying that only behaviorism determines what a person does this is simply untrue. You are stuck in A or B thinking on this one. Corruption, greed and murder are human realities that will not disappear under socialism. Building a better system is what is needed, yes socialism is needed but it alone will not change negative human behavior.

What is in the water out there in Florida that makes you write like this?
All the fluoride the Illuminati puts in the water system to keep the sheeple contented, duh.

What the hell are you rambling about I wasn't saying anything about restrictions or reactionaires or any of that, I was defending Rafiq's accusation of third worldism aginst milkmiku as relevant because of the divisions he drew and commenting that the manner in which he handled the op was both offenisve and worthy of the scorn it recieved regardless of whether or not the topic is important.
o well this is ok I guess

Although the op is wrong in targeting workers of one particular nation, he is right in a general sense that workers are essentially ignorant, violent, and reactionary. No amount of denial will change that. Lenin and Trotsky recognized this, hence the idea of vanguard. Workers cannot be trusted to do anything right - they need a guiding hand from the enlightened class among them, namely the class-conscious vanguard. yo wassup Keynes
