  • central pole holding up the umbrella of Maoist philosophies is that the government has the responsibility to create moral citizens by requiring them to directly serve their country

    This is simply not a thing. “Moral citizens” are not a Marxist or Maoist concept. This is more of a liberal civic-nationalist thing if anything. French revolution type shit. Modern national conscription was invented there, not with Mao.

    What your coworker is probably misremembering is the Down to the Countryside Movement, which was a response to the particular conditions in China after the Great Leap Forward. Maoism traditionally centered the peasantry as the main driver of revolution, but there’s nothing in Maoism like a person needs to go farm for awhile to become “moral”. Class struggle is the true central pole holding up Maoism (and Marxism); morals don’t come into marxist theory because morals are idealistic, not material.

    I’m also not sure what your coworker means by the “umbrella” of Maoist philosophies, unless she just means like Chinese politics = Maoism or means Marxism (or she’s into some mega deep Gonzaloist Thought or something).


  • We are not too fucked I would say even if the feds successfully tag this guy as leftist an-tee-fah. People don’t give a shit about Kirk, the normal reaction™ to his death was “who? Oh he was a trump guy? cool.”

    Seems like a lot of people already believe the fix is in with the investigation too, and don’t care what the FBI says. A surprising amount of non online libs I talked to believed the Crooks assassination attempt on Trump was a total set up, and think this Kirk one is also fake/orchestrated (which I think is hilarious because Kirk is definitely dead af) The point is the USA is truly polarized and the population is disconnected and doesn’t trust “the regime” and those seen as connected to it like they used to.

    Though this is situation in LibLand, if you live in Chud Territory they’re probably taking it worse, but I think most are lazy and will expect the feds to handle it. No idea what that could look like with Trump. Though I’m skeptical how much a crackdown on the American left would affect popular opposition anyway since it’s so disorganized. Feel like if anything happens they’ll just be throwing a bunch of flimsy charges at Hasan or New York DSA or something stupid like that.









  • Nah, fuck thought doctors. They deserve the smoke. Western society treats them like holy secular priests too. Wouldn’t be so bad if liberals didn’t act they can fix all your problems, probably because they wasted so much time and money on it themselves. One of the most arrogant professions even if they play humble when you meet them. Get the hell out of our heads. You want to help us? Stab an insurance executive and join the vanguard party.
