Deicide

Oh Undercover I see,
I like your new avatar

Looks like we're becoming famous or something. Fuck knows why anyone would want to defend Maoism-Third-Worlidsm..

In addition, it's important to note that from the Marxist view, this is not the same crisis. There was the crisis of '08, and the results of that fed back and created another crisis. That's generally how capitalism works.. it weakens itself so long as it doesn't have new markets to expand into, BUT this goes back into what I was telling you via PM.

We should not become complacent; this isn't an excuse to sit around doing nothing like the anarchists do. We need to actively organize and work to bring down the beast as soon as we can. If we remain passive, Capital will be able to buy itself more time. This happened in the 1920's in the form of Fascism, which was essentially a reaction against the upswell of class struggle and revolutionary sentiment.

So I'm confident that if we don't see revolution in our lifetime, we will certainly be seeing the death throes.. but personally I think we will live to see some kind of revolution on the level of the Russian Revolution.

Africa's potential as a market to exploit is far less than Asia's ever was. In addition, the capitalist system is starting to run into other problems, like the diminishing amount of fossil fuels. These problems are actually quite easily solved by modern science, but the problem is under capitalism potential solutions are discouraged.

Certainly not Zizek! lol

You don't really need to be a genius to figure out what's happening. Capital is running out of untapped markets to exploit, and the crises are growing more acute. Lenin figured out something essential to the process of Capital in my opinion. People had started to wonder, if Capitalism weakens itself through its own contradictions, then why is it still around?

Lenin provided the answer with the theory of imperialism. By exploiting untapped markets, industrialized economy can use the spoils to feed their own proletariat and stave off disaster for a time. What we are no starting to see is all the untapped markets drying up. Even China is becoming so industrialized that they're starting to outsource the work the United States outsourced to them. There is really only one partially untapped market left, which is Africa.

Haha, I knew you'd enjoy that.

The answer to that question is simple. Haven't you been paying attention to the kind of people that are drawn to Stalinism to begin with?

so basically, no big stalinist parties here, unless you count the RCP.

There are no big Trotskyist parties, just a bunch of tiny, irrelevant ones. the WWP like to think of themselves as Trotskyists, but they're really just Brezhnevites.

The infamous Communist Party USA was also Brezhnevist until about 20 years ago. Their line was whatever the Soviet Union wanted it to be. Now they are just ordinary liberals who worship obama. The CPUSA was so right wing that even Stalin was criticizing them back in the 1920's!

Then there s the Hoxhaist party, APL, which is really small, but they love Hoxha, Stalin, and Lenin.

Then we have those cesspits of the WWP and PSL, they are Breznhevites, which means if they had a red flag, then the PSL and WWP will support them no matter what. You see them here on revleft a lot, they're the ones who argue the invasion of Afghanistan was cool and that Cuba is a socialist paradise.
