Only on like pg 85 of this book but it's pissing me the fuck off bc so far it's just a collection of shitlib academic jargon that serves to say "nobody can agree on what a middle class is, what it does, and how big it is" DID NONE OF YOU READ MARX

Anyways, here's Bela Kun with an authentically marxist point of view:

"Within the framework of capitalist society, the lower middle-class is immortal. Not only do small traders and small producers, worshippers of the principle of private property and credit, inevitably ensure the existence of parasites on the social organism, as being causes of the dissipation and waste of social labour; but also from out of their midst there appear the bearers of a special philosophy, directed for the purpose of restraining the proletarian revolution."

From "Marx and the Middle Classes", 1918

I wonder if leftists know the SPD sent fascist militias to kill communists and just regular working people. Like it wasn’t Hitler, it was the the social democrats, Hitler came afterward and because they did that.

To leftists the idea of a true proletarian revolt is *worse than Nazis*. So like yeah their lesser evilism is eye-roll worthy because they will take that logic *until their are concentration camps* but not even that because they will still use their branding as a shield and deny their role in it, deny their inherent participation.

I mean god these people hailed Mamdani as some sort of light and just looked over the fact the minute he won the election he was publicly endorsed by a person they believe to be equivocal to Adolf Hitler. Like principles just go out of the window for these people and do you know why?

Leftists are Fascists.

" As communists, we must sometimes to stand outside of the world. When events break the momentum of communist organisation, ‘the revolutionist becomes isolated, and registers temporary defeat. He must wait till the situation changes…’.63 To believe that there is always a communist solution, a viable revolutionary practice, is to ‘fall victim to democratic illusions’.64 In times when revolutionary practice is deci- sively defeated, communism becomes, for a time, mere theory without a practice and in search of a practice. In these times, the communist militant is faced with a choice: do we surrender communist theory and engage in non-revolutionary practice, or do we surrender practice and retreat into theory? This zugzwang position arises whenever practice and theory are separated by objective conditions. " -Sketch of Communist Positions, William Veigh, Internationalist Club
