"The wealth of those societies in which the capitalist mode of production prevails, presents itself as “an immense accumulation of commodities,”its unit being a single commodity. Our investigation must therefore begin with the analysis of a commodity."

the opening lines to Capital. we cannot understate the place that the organisation of production has over the mere class stratification of proletarian to bourgeoisie on an obvious aesthetic existing liberal level. things run deeper than just the worker and the boss.

Mao was an opportunist. the PRC could never be a negotiation of the negation, it could never be a proletarian dictatorship and it could never be an end to capital.

Marx lays out how the proletariat are 'the revolutionary subject' of capitalism. this means that they are the underclass who will rise up to negate the previous order for a new one, and in the case of the proletariat they will complete the dialectic and negate the negation via an abolition of class

hey kids, wanna learn about fascism 👀 ?

Fascism is something we all know of here. we see it grow, we see it's hate turned against many of us, we see the destruction it has brought. but what *is* fascism and what is it's cause?

Fascism doesn't arise from the ether like some monster, fascism is an idea and a product of the times in which it was created.

fascism in it's first most basic form was essentially democratic socialism, and in this we see the core of what fascism truly is. fascism is class struggle.

Ok, this thread is going to be long, BUT I have written it in such a way that anybody can read it and understand the points. The thread is about the failures of the Russian revolution, why didn't it produce communism? Some may find the takes 'hot' but, know I don't want to attack people, merely provide my take and perspective. I am a Leninist myself, rare breed around the free territory of mastodon I know, but more specifically I am a Bordigist. Bordigism is a strand of Left Communism, Left Communism is something that came out of critique of the USSR in the third internationale from a lefter wing perspective of Soviet capitalism.
