/mlpol/ - My Little Politics

>>397601
I've read the communist manifesto, and I have concluded that communism is not for me.
Anyway, I will continue to believe what I will. Organized labor in service of nationalism is the way to go. I have already convinced three quarters of my workplace that H1B jeets deserve to be eradicated.

>>397604
I don't even believe you've read any Fascist books, much less Marxist. You just sound like the typical parasocial eceleb fan with a bunch of incoherent ideas based on memes instead of actual theory.

>>397610
>I don't even believe you've read any Fascist books, much less Marxist
I was a PoliSci major before I switched to engineering. I read the Manifesto. I read the Doctrine.
>eceleb fan
Ew, no.
Eceleb threads used to be banned on this site for a reason.
>with a bunch of incoherent ideas based on memes instead of actual theory
Well, on principle of staying humble, I won't deny that.
I believe what I believe. People like you call me a fascist and a Nazi, so I call myself a fascist and a Nazi. I don't really care about labels.

>>397613
>People like you call me a fascist and a Nazi
Let us call them for what they really are: anti-Whites.

>>397613
So there's nothing to discussion here, your ideas are not internally coherent or integrated into any comprehensive worldview, it's just ad hoc personal grievance with extremist reactions. And if you're advocating for Holocaust politics then it's irrelevant that you also want to be vegetarian and save puppies and become an Austrian painter. Nobody cares if you ideologically understand the fascism you support at that point.

>>397617
That goes without saying.
>>397619
>So there's nothing to discussion here
This is kind of a garbage thread anyway, so I don't care.
>your ideas are not internally coherent or integrated into any comprehensive worldview
No, I know that I am an ethnonationalist. My nationalism supercedes all other political opinions. My ethnonationalism informs the rest of my political beliefs.
I am open to the idea of fascist organizational tactics, particularly with organized labor.
>it's just ad hoc personal grievance with extremist reactions
That's just a bunch of buzzwords strung together.
>And if you're advocating for Holocaust politics then it's irrelevant that you also want to be vegetarian and save puppies and become an Austrian painter.
I don't really want any of those things. I could be persuaded to consider the first one though.
>Nobody cares if you ideologically understand the fascism you support at that point.
This is a chansite, bro. Did you think that I believed for even a second that anybody values my opinion here? Lmao.

Have some umas

>>397617
Do you actually wanna get into the discussion on Whiteness, what exactly is white because it's definitely not a stable and consistent definition and is a very recent social construct related more to proximity to power than anything about biology - a muslim converted son of two white parents is no longer considered white so it can't be purely genetics. Or how about the time they decided Syrians were white because they were so afraid of the consequences of saying Jesus could have been non-white. It's all fake cross-class solidarity politics to make you think you're on the same side as Jeff Bezos. White being considered default means it is the not-thing, the lack of being ethnic, a void of extra identity, which is why people say it doesn't exist.

People considered White exist.
Whiteness as a social construct is a non-existence, or put another way Whiteness does not positively exist, or to put it short: Whiteness does not exist.

>>397623
>what exactly is white because it's definitely not a stable and consistent definition
Ah, do not worry about it, we Whites perfectly know our folk.

>>397621
>>397619
Oh wait, the puppies, yes I am in fact pro puppy.
Been trying a lot of vegetarian food lately too, since I've been taking care of my sick aunt who became vegan for health reasons (anti inflammation diet).
I be haven't painted in years. I should really get back into it.
>>397623
I can usually tell a white person when I see one.
Jews are a bit slippery on that matter, but the nose knows.

>>397624
You mean like the mexican white nationalists at the forefront of advocating white supremacy right now? Of course you don't want to define it, it's essential to the tactic NOT to define it because then it would reveal the whole game.

>>397626
Fuentes can go fuck himself.

>>397627
Define white then in a way that doesn't include Fuentes.

>>397626
>white supremacy
KYS.
Whites have an inherent right to self determination and their own homeland.

>>397628
1. Not being mestizo like Fuentes
2. Not being directly descended from any other nonwhite groups (niggers, jeets, Arabs, mongoloids, island cannibals, etc).

You can argue the technicalities in fringe cases, but most people have a clear picture of what whiteness is.
Whiteness is a red herring anyway. White people deserve to not only live in white countries, but be surrounded by people of their own particular tribe and ethnicity, such a Prussians, Celts, Basque, Saxons, etc.

>>397630
>(admits whiteness is arbitrary to exclude whoever you don't like, and has to negatively define it by what it isn't instead of positively define it by what it IS)
>Whiteness is a red herring anyway
>Here's why we need Whiteness
This is so stupid. I hope you realize how stupid any of this white supremacy conversation is from root to branch. It's just a fake cross-class solidarity to dupe you into thinking you're on the same side as the capitalist oppressing you just because they can point to people in society they oppress more than you - that you should be grateful for the PRIVILEGE of being considered white by the elites until you become inconvenient and they need to restrict who is white even more to always keep a second-class.

>>397635
>admits whiteness is arbitrary to exclude whoever you don't like, and has to negatively define it by what it isn't instead of positively define it by what it IS
Okay, and?
>white supremacy
*White nationalism.
White supremacy implies the presence of nonwhite people.
>bla bla bla
Interesting take. I'll bring it up it to the bros at work. They'll have a laugh.

>>397637
If you're just going to "Okay, and?" forfeit your entire position, there's nothing left to say. Bold move admitting it's just invalid bullshit and not even attempting to recover from that, I guess.

>>397629
-People- have a right to self determination. "Whiteness" has no positive definition of what it includes, only a grab-bag of things it conditionally and arbitrarily excludes as it's convenient for the capitalist class. And your ancestral homeland isn't in the Western Hemisphere, dumbass.

>>397639
>it's just invalid bullshit
You may deny reality but the experiment of a multi-racial society as failed, then the question how to proceed with minimal violence comes forward. Will be peaceful segregation and then secession, or will be ethnic massacres as a repetition of history around the world when different nations share a plot of land?

>>397644
What you're saying is unreality, it's not just not true, it's the opposite of true. The phrase you've been programmed like Pavlov's Dog to react negatively to - "Diversity is our strength" - is true by every objective metric. Crime is down year over year, every year. The problem is economic, not demographic. And if you had standards that ensured all workers had rights, they wouldn't be keeping an illegal slave class and visa workers in perpetual limbo on purpose at dirt wages to extract the maximum amount of profit.

Your framework of reference is of a merchant, marxist one. And it doesn't apply at all to race.

The National Socialist economic plan as designed by NSDAP. You really think you are facing an ignoramus pleb like yourself and other serfs?

>>397656
Usury has no meaning when you're property of the State, like I said this is the grenade for a headache slight-of-hand that fascism promises.

What's going on in America is not a leader'd set of events, all the leaders oppose and disavow because they're on the chopping block regardless of their side. What's going on is vigilante violence directed at decapitating leadership, people taking matters into their own hands regardless of what any figureheads say because the ratio is a million to one. That's radically more dangerous and unstoppable so long as it has momentum, and since they're targeting the leaders instead of the rank-and-file there's a lot greater impact on influence than the standard street-brawl protest where no-names get run over or whatever.

>>397657
>property of the State
Your cartoonish Disney supervillain depiction of fascism is not the fascism people believe here.
The state is property of the people, not the other way around. That's why nationalist syndicalism begins with organized labor movements.
>>397659
You won't say that when it's right wing vigilantes gunning you down in the streets. You will cry fascism, when it's just a taste of your own medicine.

>>397602
I care how rich a man is because money is power and I don't trust humans with too much power. Look how bezos uses his power fuck over his workers or how bill gates used his power to force compliance during covid. Money is a form of power. When you understand that you understand ancap is a shit meme.

>>397602
>ban lobbying and bribes
In what world do you live where politicians wouldn't take a large bribe? I would like to live in that world. Unfortunately I live in the real world. You are ignoring human nature.

>>397686
>I care how rich a man is because money is power and I don't trust humans with too much power.
This is why fascists use unions to prevent businesses from having too much power.
>bezos
Hang him.
>>397687
Through fascist syndicalism, the working can can purge corrupt politicians. The point of fascism is that everyone keeps everyone else in check for the benefit of fellow countrymen, including the politicians.

>Through fascist syndicalism, the working can can purge corrupt politicians. The point of fascism is that everyone keeps everyone else in check for the benefit of fellow countrymen, including the politicians.
I believe the same thing could be achieved through distributism and a neoguild system while keeping more human rights in tact.

>>397689
I used to believe that distributism was socialist garbage, but I have been increasingly open to the idea of it since watching Blackrock buy up all of the land. It's in everyone's interest for farmland and housing to not be consolidated.
>neoguild system
That's what fascism is, bro. A trade union led by nationalist party members occupies the same niche as a guild.

>>397690
Distributism is the older, less successful brother of fascism. But I believe in separation of powers so I am a distributist. I also believe the wage system to be an affront to human dignity and I want to bring more cottage style industries back into the hands of families.
(Sorry for flag change on a VPN and the other board I post on is weird with my VPN)

>>397650
Here's a genuine question:
In the absence of ethnonationalism, how to Socialists content with the capitalist bourgeoisie class undermining organized labor movements by replacing the local working class with low-wage foreign migrant laborers? Globalist capitalists replace local farm labor with migrants from Latin America on work visas, or illegal immigrants paid under the table. They replace tech laborers with H1B migrants from India. This undermines organized labor movements because in the absence of nationalism, capitalists can just replace any organized laborers with more desperate migrant workers who would not dare unionize. This suppresses wages for local workers and disempowere unions because entire populations of working class people become fungible with third world labor.
What is the non-nationalist socialist response to this? Genuinely curious. One of my biggest issue with socialist labor movements is that they do nothing to address the migrant labor problem, which is arguably why they keep losing in a global economy.
>if you had standards that ensured all workers had rights, they wouldn't be keeping an illegal slave class and visa workers in perpetual limbo on purpose at dirt wages to extract the maximum amount of profit
Except what enforces those standards? Labor movements are enforced by the threat of strikes on behalf of class conscious workers, not legislation. Even if you had laws enforcing fair wages and safe working conditions, that would not stop capitalist business owners from hiring illegal immigrants; if anything, that would encourage them to use more illegal labor, since that would let them evade workplace standards: illegal immigrants never go on strike.
Legislation is slow and often impotent when it comes to workers rights, which is why unions are important in the first place. The law passing labor standards would do nothing without workers enforcing those standards themselves.

As far as I can see it, it's much easier, simpler and more effective to solve the problem but stemming the flow of immigration, so that I'm the absence of third world competition local workers would be empowered to form their own local labor movements and raise workplace standards.
>>397653
We could execute Bezos too after we purge his illegal/jeet workers. That would make his net worth $0. Capitalists like Bezos are responsible for bringing the brown hordes here, so they go on the chopping block too.
>>397657
>Usury has no meaning when you're property of the State
Pretty sure usury is bad in any context. There is no problem in society that cannot be drastically exacerbated by usury getting involved.
>>397659
I agree partly, but not to the conclusion you're thinking of.

>>397706
Christian nationalism and an understanding that the family unit is the most fundamental unit of society could be an alternative to ethnonationalism. Check out some of the philosophy threads on alogs.space/robowaifu. Techno distributism is the dominant ideology there. Some of them are national distributists

>>397707
>Christian nationalism and an understanding that the family unit is the most fundamental unit of society could be an alternative to ethnonationalism
Family is important, but a single family is not powerful enough to maintain an entire nation's territorial integrity. Humans will always value their families first, but human society is tribal: families must work together.
>national distributists
I will look into this.

>>397706

Profit is considered theft from the worker in Marxist theory because it comes from surplus value, which is the difference between what a worker is paid and the value they produce. Capitalists pay workers only a portion of the value their labor creates, keeping the rest as profit. Since the worker did all the productive labor, this unpaid portion is viewed as exploitation.

>how to Socialists content with the capitalist bourgeoisie class undermining organized labor movements
The answer to Bourgeois Democracy is the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Bourgeois Democracy
Definition: A political system that appears democratic but ultimately serves the interests of the capitalist class.
Key Idea: While it includes elections and civil rights, real power is held by those who control economic resources, protecting private property and capitalist interests over the working class.

Dictatorship of the Proletariat
Definition: A transitional state between capitalism and communism where the working class holds political power.
Key Idea: Not a dictatorship over the proletariat, but by it—suppressing the bourgeoisie and reorganizing society along socialist lines.

>They replace tech laborers with H1B migrants from India
Under socialism, cheap foreign H1B workers would not be an issue because the economy would not be driven by profit or competition. All workers would be covered by the same labor laws, wages, and protections. This removes any incentive to hire foreign workers for lower pay or to outsource jobs.

Class Struggle
Definition: The ongoing conflict between social classes, primarily between the bourgeoisie (capitalist class) and the proletariat (working class).
Key Idea: History progresses through class conflict, and socialism emerges from the victory of the working class.

Proletariat
Definition: The working class that does not own the means of production and must sell their labor to survive.
Role in Socialism: The revolutionary class destined to overthrow capitalism and build socialism.

Bourgeoisie
Definition: The capitalist class that owns the means of production and exploits labor.
Marxist View: Their domination is ended in socialism through expropriation and collectivization.

Means of Production
Definition: The physical and institutional infrastructure used to produce goods (e.g., factories, land, tools).
In Socialism: Taken from private ownership and made collective or state-owned.

Relations of Production
Definition: The social relationships people enter into as they acquire and use the means of production.
Under Socialism: Shift from exploitative (capitalist) to cooperative (socialist) relations.

Surplus Value
Definition: The value produced by labor beyond what is paid in wages—appropriated by capitalists as profit.
Marxist Critique: This is the core of capitalist exploitation, which socialism seeks to abolish.

Alienation
Definition: The estrangement of workers from the product of their labor, their own humanity, and others under capitalism.
In Socialism: Workers regain control over their labor and its products, overcoming alienation.

Base and Superstructure
Definition: The "base" (economic system) shapes the "superstructure" (politics, culture, ideology).
Marxist View: Socialism changes the base, leading to a transformation of society’s entire superstructure.

Historical Materialism
Definition: Marx's theory that history progresses through material economic forces and class struggle.
In Context: Socialism is a historically necessary stage after capitalism.

Withering Away of the State
Definition: In full communism, the state becomes unnecessary and disappears as class antagonisms vanish.
Socialist Phase: The state exists but is a workers’ state—not permanent.

Communism
Definition: The classless, stateless, moneyless society that follows socialism.
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."

Expropriation of the Expropriators
Definition: The process of taking the means of production from capitalists and placing them under public or collective control.

Vanguard Party
Leninist Term: A revolutionary party of professional revolutionaries leading the working class to socialism.
Controversial in broader Marxism: Not present in Marx’s early writings but central in Leninism.

False Consciousness
Definition: When workers adopt the ideology of the ruling class, obscuring their real interests.
Socialism's Goal: Raise class consciousness to break false beliefs and organize the working class.

Commodity Fetishism
Definition: Viewing social relationships through the lens of market exchange, where commodities seem to have intrinsic value.

Labor Theory of Value
Definition: The idea that labor is the source of all value.

Revolutionary Praxis
Definition: The combination of theory and action in revolutionary struggle.

>The answer to Bourgeois Democracy is the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.
But how do you establish that it the Bourgeois can just replace the proletariat with foreign labor? If working class people can just be replaced with foreigners?
>because the economy would not be driven by profit or competition
But it is now. How do you start a worker's revolution if the workers are easily replaced?
>All workers would be covered by the same labor laws, wages, and protections.
How can you enforce this if the company has the opportunity to subvert unions by replacing workers?

The power of unions comes from their ability to refuse work through strikes. The competition from foreign labor eliminates the power of unions because it causes an international race to the bottom for labor standards.
>A bunch of definitions
All of this is barely relevant to the questions.

This is why distributism proposes a return to the guild system.

>>397718
>Bourgeois Democracy
>Definition: A political system that appears democratic but ultimately serves the interests of the capitalist class.
>Key Idea: While it includes elections and civil rights, real power is held by those who control economic resources, protecting private property and capitalist interests over the working class.
This is one of the major criticisms that Fascists have of democracy, because elections can be swayed by (((interest groups))) who own the media and/or buy the most ads on TV.
>Vanguard Party
>Leninist Term: A revolutionary party of professional revolutionaries leading the working class to socialism.
>Controversial in broader Marxism: Not present in Marx’s early writings but central in Leninism.
Interesting, Fascists employ similar concepts. Unions led by vanguard party members can keep the business in check.
>Expropriation of the Expropriators
>Definition: The process of taking the means of production from capitalists and placing them under public or collective control.
Another place where fascists agree. Companies who abuse their workers and/or subvert the goals of the people can have their businesses confiscated. The threat of imminent expropriation is part of what keeps the private sector controlled under fascism.
>>397724
You didn't really answer the question though.
I asked how you are able to lead a union led w,orkers revolution if the capitalists can just replace union workers with foreigners. Would that not prevent the worker's revolution from occurring? You need strong unions to have a workers revolution, but you can't have strong labor movements if the capitalists can just replace laborers with third worlders.
What is the common Socialist response to this dilemma? I'm sure at least some of you have considered it. Even my liberal friends have been increasingly vocal about how increases in migrant labor run contrary to the goals of labor movements.

>>397725
Cool. This would make it compatible with fascism. Guilds and party-led unions aren't that different from one another.

>>397732
The primary difference between fascism and distributism would be that fascism places more emphasis on the state or race and distributism places more emphasis on the family and clan.

>>397730
You're still just repeating questions based in the misunderstandings I've already explained. When you stop asking me to theorize about stupid things in situations that presume your backwards fascist idea of what socialism should be, or just blatantly skipping over the answers to the questions you've already asked, let me know.

>>397718
Thr dictatorship of the proletariat is where Marxism fails. Suppressing the people who ran society so you can re-engineer it to utopia while giving a hand full of people absolute control is the most retarded idea in the history of humanity.

>>397734
What was your answer to the question?
The closest you came to answering it was the vague suggestion of raising labor standards here:
>Under socialism, cheap foreign H1B workers would not be an issue because the economy would not be driven by profit or competition. All workers would be covered by the same labor laws, wages, and protections. This removes any incentive to hire foreign workers for lower pay or to outsource jobs.
- but how do you get better labor standards when foreign labor undermines your labor movement by replacing the proletariat?
You you expect the same Bourgeois Democracy to just have you better labor standards, without a union led national labor movement?

>>397735
Capitalist is a class, it's not a demographic of individuals, the capitalist just have to give up their position as exploiters at the top of an unjust hierarchy of wage theft. There's nothing utopian about workers getting the value of the labor they themselves produced, and there's nothing normal about submitting yourself to slavery to a class of people who produce not value and only monopolized the necessary instruments of production. "The People" are already fully represented in the Dictatorship of the Proletariat, the only thing that's not represented is the permission to enact injustice of wage slavery.

>>397738
I literally greentexted your half-answer. I asked you for specifics on the matter, because the answer you gave is vague. I was genuinely curious if Socialists have an actual solution to this problem, because it is an issue that I care about and would be open to hearing the Socialist position on the topic. Is that really all you have to say about the problem of foreign labor undermining labor movements? Even my liberal friends have been increasingly vocal about how exploitative migrant labor is threat to domestic labor movements.
Even the distributist guy is making a better case for his fringe economic system than you are. Learn to debate in good faith.
>>397735
No, the most retarded idea is the withering of that state. It's nonsensical idealism to imagine an institution that commands all the world's resources would just voluntarily dismantle itself, instead of the shitheads running the show jealously clinging to power like they always have in human history. The fact that communism doesn't provide for any political mechanism to force the withering of the state is a major flaw in the plan.
>>397737
>there's nothing normal about
You say it's not normal, but it's been the status quo for the past 12k years of human civilization. That's the definition of normal.
That doesn't mean it's not bad, but it is normal.

>>397739
You're continuing to misuse the terms I've already provided definitions for and you're owed no response. Now everyone else can see why the list of relevant definitions was necessary, because all you've done so far is deliberately misrepresent what each of those terms means.

>>397737
You could get the value of your labor and more if you produce goods with your family and clan and also not get fucked by the intelligencia

>>397739

>>397591

>>397743

You're fundamentally not understanding what "The State" is, or how it functions. You could read The State and Revolution by Lenin if you actually wanted to criticize the concept but you'd rather snark at a shallow misunderstanding of terms you intentionally refuse to understand - even as they're spoon-fed to you.

>>397740
>you're owed no response
Then I see I'm wasting my time with you.
I would have hoped that socialists had a solution to the problem, but I guess I'll go check out the links the Distributist provided instead.

Btw, notice how the farm labor movements in the 1970s didn't go anywhere? Notice how those unions don't exist anymore? They're all dead. The farm labor movement is dead. The reason those unions are gone is because the rich kikes who bought up all of the farmland realized that they could just replace American workers with migrants, and once they did that they killed the farm labor movement.
If you fucks don't seriously consider how to address the issue of migrant labor undermining local proletariats movements, all of your labor movements will end in failure.
>>397742
The influence of the intelligencia is probably stronger than ever before, since the tech-reliant economy means that technocracy grows ever closer. Now it's going to become a battle over who runs the everything-machines, and who controls the data that goes into the LLMs.
>>397744
H1B pajeets and illegal spics replacing local workers to undermine labor movements was not an issue that Lenin faced in his time, which is why 20th century Socialists have very few solutions on the matter.
But sure, go ahead watch the union for your workplace slowly either away as the company that owns it realizes that they can replace you with third world shitskins. You're totally making great progress /s.

by the way this is also why debates with fascists aren't prioritized, not because people are afraid of the ideas but because truth is not found in validating nonsense with equal time. they have every incentive to pretend not to understand what you're saying and to misrepresent you simply to keep the debate going when we already know the correct solutions to issues. it's the same tactic used by flat-earthers who just want a platform, any platform, even when they know they'll lose on every point. their success lies in simply getting airtime and presenting the issue as a both sides equally valid topic of discussion. as long as the subject requires any deeper understanding whether in science economics or anything else it has the effect of creating doubt and legitimizing nonsense with dishonest rhetoric.

>>397747
>because truth is not found in validating nonsense with equal time
Then why did you spend so much time posting here?
>they have every incentive to pretend not to understand what you're saying
What incentives?
>it's the same tactic used by flat-earthers
You are exaggerating. I wasted hours debating with the flat earther in that abysmal thread, and flattie tactics are worse than you can even imagine. Go check it in /vx/ if you care.
>their success lies in simply getting airtime and presenting the issue as a both sides equally valid topic of discussion
If fascists are so bad at debating, why would they succeed from simply getting airtime?
>legitimizing nonsense with dishonest rhetoric
The issue of migrant labor undermining local labor movements is a very real issue with severe consequences, and you continue to ignore it with non-answers.

What do you do if a stadium full of bright-eyed, trusting working class farmers came to you and honestly asked them what your solution to migrants taking their jobs was? Would you have them watch a 4 hour video?

You refuse to give direct answers, and you wonder why the working class continues to move away from the left.

>>397748
>Then why did you spend so much time posting here?
I'm in enemy territory. Disrupting the flat-earthers on their own forums is a different prospect than platforming them on a national stage to "just ask questions" about the Firmament.

>>397748
>If fascists are so bad at debating, why would they succeed from simply getting airtime?
When your strategy relies on inflaming biases people already have, it's a Scopes Monkey Trial moment. They're not worried about the facts, they're playing on the indoctrination and bigotry society already has against science and facts because it conflicts with their "Mystical Truth", which is why the foundation of Marxism is Dialectical Materialism - a method rooted in material reality and constant change, not a fixed dogma.

See: Base and Superstructure definitions above.

>>397750
>I'm in enemy territory.
Sad of you to think that way. Maybe it you had been more open to debating in good faith we might have been able to see eye to eye on some things, like the importance of unions and class consciousness. Too bad you had no interest in being a member of the community in the first place. Maybe Bluesky might be more to your liking.
>flat-earthers on their own forums
There's only one flat earther here (he is annoying). This is not a flat earth forum. It's a free speech forum, where all opinions are welcome, including retards like those of flat earthers and homicidal communists like you.
Come back anytime. Diversity of viewpoints is important for a forum's health, even the bad ones.
>bigotry society already has
Are you suggesting that people have a natural inclination towards fascism because it connects to intuitive tribal dispositions and social habits?
Because I agree.

>>397748
>The issue of migrant labor undermining
I want you to explain how an illegal immigrant laborer having the same workers rights and equal pay would retain the capitalist incentive to import foreign labor - much less if there was no capitalist and it was entirely worker owned. You're asking questions that scoff at changing critical pieces of a machine, and then not understanding that changes how the entire machine works. And your only actual objection to any of this is that minorities exist, and you just want to kill minorities and that's why you don't like socialism, because they don't validate your False Consciousness (see term list above).

>>397754
>an illegal immigrant laborer having the same workers rights and equal pay
You're missing the point. How do we even get better labor standards if the migrants can be used to undermine the labor movements before they even start? How do you impose those standards without a strong labor movement. If you try to unionize, they would just replace you with migrants, like they have been for the past 50+ years. Half a century and the farm labor movement is even worse off than it was in the 60s. You know how that happened? Migrant labor.
>bigotry society already has
But how do you GET to that point? So long as workers are replaceable, they have no power.
>objection to any of this is that minorities exist
In part, yes, I despise the presence of the brownoids flooding in, for completely separate reasons, but my criticism of how they diminish the power is rooted in material pragmatism.
> you don't like socialism, because they don't validate your False Consciousness
You can call it whatever you want, but I won't see the appeal in an ideology that does nothing to address the values important to me.
Nationalism isn't just an issue for me, it's a cause.

Continued debate on "What is 2+2" does not mean more people will be convinced of the right answer, especially not if their whole false cultural identity and material privilege is based in acting as if they believe it's 5. Debate requires a common ground in getting to the Truth, but Fascists necessarily do not believe in Truth at all, the core of it is the Mystical Truth that is in violation of facts and material reality - it is a cult, not a science.

>if their whole false cultural identity
Cultural identity is a thing that I value. People's priorities are based on their values. It's a matter of opinion.
>Debate requires a common ground
I began the discussion by pointing out the importance of trade unions. If that's not common ground between fascism and socialism, idk what would be.

Also, fascism is just an administrative ideology, rooted in materialism as well. The "Mystical Truth" you're referring to is moreso related to National Socialism, which is admittedly very esoteric.

There is an additional component to illegals that make them much more desireable workers than citizens, and that is compliance. From their perspective, they came penniless and nameless, and thus are willing to make any amount of money to scrape by cuz 4 bucks is still more than 0 bucks. In addition, they'll never complain about pesky things like insurance and worker's comp cuz they are literally one phone call away from getting ICE on their ass. Even if I felt cute and gave them a real wage they'll still be cheaper than a citizen simply cuz they know their place in the company: expendable and submissive. An American? Oh, what a high maintenance piece of work! Demanding all sorts of shit, and god forbid, they come in asking for a raise!

>>397762
You cannot even find a job picking tomatoes as an American citizen. They don't even advertise those jobs to Americans at all. They're not interested in local labor, and they don't want citizens to see the horrible ways they treat the migrants.
That's what killed the farm labor movement in America. American wage farmers were completely replaced by migrants, and now they can't even unionize to fix it because they're not even part of the picture anymore.

>>397757
>How do you impose those standards
You're still just objecting to the means, not the end. And not understanding that Scabs are not a new or insurmountable issue, you're just grasping at straws to reject what I'm saying.

>>397765
>You're still just objecting to the means, not the end.
If you don't have a means, your end is just fanfiction.
What progress has the labor movement in America made in the past 30 years? Were you socialists able to sustain your unions in the presence of migrants replacing you? No, you weren't. That is the reality of the labor situation in America.

>>397761
I'm so fucking sick of fascists in this thread not understanding their own ideology. No the fuck it isn't Materialist, it's Idealist, those are fundamentally different base conceptions of reality. No the fuck there isn't common ground between fascists and socialists, fascists appropriate the labels of things from Marxists to do literally the opposite of what they're based on. You're just a god damn idiot talking out of your ass because your whole ideology is meme bullshit. The only thing you can do to improve the discourse is shut the fuck up.

>>397767
>No the fuck there isn't common ground between fascists and socialists
Unions? Expropriation? Healthcare? Vanguard parties?
>fascists appropriate the labels of things from Marxists
That's because 20th century founders of Fascist parties included former members of socialist parties.
Fascism is a syncretic ideology. It was meant to be presented as a third option between capitalism and socialism. That's why it appropriates elements of both.
>You're just a god damn idiot talking out of your ass because your whole ideology is meme bullshit.
I consider it an evolving ideology. Memes are ideological DNA afterall.
>The only thing you can do to improve the discourse is shut the fuck up.
I have been posting to this site every day for the past 8 years. I'm not about to stop.

>>397767
On the topic of common ground, what's your take on Strasserism? Uncle Adolf didn't like them, but I consider their existence to be blip in history that showed that Nationalism and Socialism are not mutually exclusive ideologies.

>>397764
There's also a little thing called "minimum wage" and a jolly group called "labor unions" that hamper labor movements. Even if a company wants to be by the books, they have to contend with citizens who are legally obligated to basically be nannyed by the company like parent and child.

Look I get it, job's hard, probably dangerous. Turnover's gonna be high, accidents will happen no matter what. But after all that, there is only so much money that can be made and distributed. Me, I take path of least resistance: either bare minimum number of fully compensated citizens, or infinitely cycling meat that will never bitch, never complain, and impossible to fleece cuz they would literally work for evening supermarket food scraps for the metaphorical meatgrinder that is the factory floor or hundred-acre crop. Either way, it's the citizen that's getting fucked, and the illegal doesn't fucking care cuz he's content with being alive at all.

>>397771
Well put.

>>397771
If more people owned productive assets this becomes less of a problem because then there is less competition for those dangerous jobs and the wages would be more respectable. #DistributismGang

I just want to point out that only on mlpol can a Marxist, an ancap, a fascist, and a distributist have a four way debate. You won't find this anywhere else on the internet. Very entertaining and interesting.

Distributist ponies

Anarcho capitalism is the ideology of class cucks. You will never be a real billionaire.

I just wanna make my money and keep it. Is that so hard.

>>400763
Yeah it is. Especially if you enable the billionaire class to take your shit.

>>400764
Is your solution to let the government take it instead?
For the record, the "billionaire class" is only able to exist because of the government which backs their IP laws and defends other properties that they could not feasibly defend themselves.

>>400786
The state is always going to exist. It is part of the nature of civilization. We might as well use its power against our enemies and start building a better system.

>>400788
See, I agree. I was just questioning if Anon was about to pitch socialism as the alternative. The reason why I bring up that the billionaire class is given its power by the state is because that is one of the principle arguments behind fascism: by withholding or leveraging the power that allows corporations to amass wealth and power in the first place, the state can functionally incorporate private sector corporations for the benefit of the public.

>>400790
I'm not a fascist, I am the distributist anon.

>>400788
the states power comes oppression. oppression of others and of its residents. fuck that dude, im done getting oppressed. ancap is the only form of freedom and thats why we should fight

>>403383
>>400788
why do you think we all flock to these boards instead of using the state controlled facebook or whatever else is owned by them. we all crave freedom, that is the most human ideology

>>403387
hey, aint nothing wrong with anything they said. if thats how they want to live their life, our freedom lets them

>>403387
God bless the NAP!

Today, Murray Newton Rothbard would have turned 100.

Rothbard was one of the most prolific intellectuals of the 20th century and paramount not solely to libertarianism but political thought in general.

Rothbard founded anarcho-capitalism and formulated libertarianism proper. He wrote extensively on Austrian economics, being a sharp critic of the central banking system. He mentored several students, some of whom have shaped libertarianism to this day.

Rothbard was not limited to theory, he was also an activist. He campaigned against the Vietnam War, worked with leftists, allied with rightists, and was not afraid to throw his weight behind controversial individuals, like David Duke and Pat Buchanan. He joined several organizations, worked actively inside the Libertarian Party, co-founded the Cato Institute, and supported the Mises Institute in its infancy. Whatever mistakes he may have made, he made them because he was doing a lot.

Rothbard was not afraid to destroy idols. He relentlessly attacked the Cato Institute, the Libertarian Party, Ayn Rand's cult, and even the libertarian movement itself, letting go of sentimental attachments to the circles he once belonged. He was one of the biggest enemies of the warmongering neoconservatives as William F. Buckley Jr.'s National Review.

Rothbard's presence in the Old Right and later the paleo alliance ensured he was not only an influence on libertarians but also rightists. Many non-libertarian right-wingers still pay respects to Rothbard.

And these are mere fragments of the life of The Irrepressible Rothbard, who sadly left us so early and we didn't have the privilege to meet, but whose work in his 68 years is abounding and truly historical.

Happy birthday, Mr. Libertarian!

Hoppe and Kinsella have also assembled a collection of tributes to Rothbard, which can be found here: https://propertyandfreedom.org/books/rothbard-100/

Happy belated birthday Rothbard!
Rand and her followers were crazy but they were not extremists. I respect Rothbard for being a real ancap. Even he could respect when Rand was right and knew how to get out when she and her band were going off with philosophy.

I do not think right-leaning libertarianism or Rothbardian ancap is the ultimate ideology however. im no bleeding heart but conservative culture is not the way to go. I think ancap works best when everyone can do what they want without the social consequences too, the whole idea of dropping commies out of helecopters or even the more realistic social shaming of their communities is harmful. If they want to form a community around that idc. fly whatever flag you want, if you can afford the airspace.

>>389748
The point of extremism is the friends we make along the way

>>403836
>I know! We could be capitalists. No, fascists! No, we could be commies!! That's how we get our cutie marks

you may all be retards, but youre my retards.
