Did Bushnell doing this do anything? No.

Says who? You?

The people detracting this as 'nothing' are clearly so comfy in there own situations they cant imagine any action, nevermind a strong one like this having an impact.

Thats your problem.

Material reality. People have done this before for a myriad of causes. Does it stop empire? No. Lenin never said ‘go kill yourself it totally will change everything’.

Marxism isnt a orthodoxy that needs to be followed like a religion, im not going to judge the protest actions of others if it serves to protest a ongoing genocide being comitted by that persons government.

I run a homeless shelter. Thats at least one thing you could do that is far better than killing yourself for a cause. In fact, anything is better.

Firstly, cool. That doesnt change anything about how much you're smugging over a dead person rather than allowing it to inspire.

You absolutely should be against chain suicides, like any good person is.

'Chain suicides' you're inserting a bunch of nonsense no one has argued for. Lenin absolutely sent people to commit acts of violence on his behalf, and there have been many examples of suicide protest during occupied nazi europe having an impact.

You judge these things as not being impactfull the literal day after it happens, this is ridiculous. Its had enough of an impact we're sitting here talking about it, this can be said to be more than most are doing.

Because it shouldn’t be copied, by anyone. There were many dozens of people that did this during Vietnam, of similar ages. Did that cause America to stop? No. None of the protesting did. Military defeat at the hands of Vietnamese communists did.

It pressured people to come back to the table, of course it did. Your ignorance of the impact of those protests doesnt make them not impactfull.

‘Inspiration’ and nonsense does not make a change in the world. All it does is add another sad headline, of which there are plenty to be had.

It likely sounds like nonsense because you've already accepted defeat.

End goal of our project is the complete disolvement of all borders and a universal wage for labor. Untill then anti-imprealism, anti-colonialism to prevent the exploitation of the underclass/3rd world liberals love to do by bombing countries then exploiting the workers and creating racial tensions through there media.

I just think it’s been glorified to the point people who have no experience with ghetto culture outside of rap music start acting like they thugs n shit. Like “gangster” shit started happening everywhere with a shitload of people fully embracing not only the visual look but the “hustler” “gangster” lifestyle.

My perspective on this, is that the chicken came before the egg so to speak.

Rappers dont glorify these things anymore than metal bands singing about decipitating hundreds of people mean it; all art is fiction, we wont be calling a horror film writer a 'glorification of violence', we call it a fantasy, a reflection of reality; these people observe reality and reflect it in art.

Now, does some rap stray into reality? Sure, so does all art, unless we fully remove the human from art it will always involve a real person.

Voting for a liberal continues the cycle of underclass exploitation either way, id say the middle class cocaine user and the politican locking up millions of people into small prison cells for drug use has a much bigger hand in creating and perputating the cycle of violence that dominates liberal society in america.

To accent my point and show how the way you are thinking is a symptom of a moral panic, something that takes a few examples and inflates it into a wider group....

90% of drill artists banned from making music in the UK dont have a criminal record...85% of those banned without a criminal record are black.

Its the censoring of the mental production of black youths; the upper class do not want a culture based on anti-authoritianism to emerge.

I read an article a month or two ago that talked about the sons of the upper classes in the UK, and there ketamine habits; some would do 2-3gs of it in one night.

They now piss out of bags, as ketmaine destroys the bladder and makes you piss yourself involuntarly with repeated use.

Cant wait till the next gen of capitalist casualities can be identified by there piss bags at the age of 30.

Its all over the UKs nightclubs and has been since the 2010s

https://youtu.be/DRfidJNts6U

Its used because its dissicioative, trippy and provides a week or so relief to depression.

It has some nasty side effects though, especially with prolonged use, personally i've done it once or twice but the risk profile is too high for it to be something anyone does with any amount of regularity.

It used to be used in afghanistan to treat gunshot wounds, it has the effect of dissociating you so hard you forget you've been shot.

Yes, we're aware its from RT. This says nothing about what type of propoganda this is though comrade, you should really understand what you're saying better.

Propoganda is political art, calling something propganda literally means nothing, its just a descriptor.

Is it bad propoganda?
Is what it is saying false?
Can you verify that?

Dont be so basic in your critique.

I tested the holodomor thesis recently and did my own research with it, let me show you some of the fun things I found.

So the definition was made up in the 80s by a comittee of Ukranians... guess who was the leader of the comittee?

Its usually going to be composed of trust funders, liberal do-gooders and liberal grifters looking for a easy seat and paycheck.

The best they can hope for is turning a 2 party liberal state into a 3 party liberal state; usually the most they can accomplish is splitting the left-liberal vote.

Not really much but a distraction, i'd mostly focus on pulling away the bottom rank members to socialist parties and stealing the good green policies for ourselves.

They inherently are still (usually) a liberal project; if its an anarchist one id find it more appealing.

ghost_of_faso2 ,
@ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml avatar

In the meantime wouldn’t it be a place to be social and avoid going insane through means of discussions with brainwashed liberals?

Quick way to be ignored, green parties tend to emphasize electorism and you will quickly find any edge point you make gets diluted through 'we need to compromise to appeal to the center' bullshit libs pull.

You're better of donating your time to an actual socialist project, or even a green-anarchist one.

ghost_of_faso2 ,
@ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I think its fair to take it on a case by case basis comrade, if you find there are enough substantial communists in the green NZ party it would even be productive to join, advocate for a socialist cause within it, then use the inevitable friction/contradiction of the leadership resisting you to splinter off any socialist/anarchist membership you network with.

I also have 0 clue where to start with NZ and socialist organizing.... The palestine cause and its open support would be enough for me to support them if nothing better presented itself, I understand your reasoning.

ghost_of_faso2 ,
@ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is how neo-liberals exploit the lumpen-proles, or the underclass.

They create the conditions that make crime inevitable, like taking the homelesses sleeping bags when it can go -20 degrees and they will freeze to death. People dont just give up and die in these situations, they commit crime.

It gives them a moral panic to 'be tough on'

Reganism 101 really, create a class of 'savages' and provide the solution.

Exactly, I often tell this to my friends; the reason you cant find my views on youtube or whatever is because people like me are actually out here doing shit in real life; you should be sus of people whos entire grift is posting online, they are likely detatched from reality.

ghost_of_faso2 ,
@ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml avatar

It is, because Kaukyism, the core of this idea is anti-lenin and revisionist against the USSR.

Its a strain of 'othrodox marxism' which basically treats Marx like the bible. It also funnyily enough, while trying to claim no bias ends up inserting the authors own (wrong in my opinion) takes on it.

It is a strain of social democracy, not communism.

the discourse around it is a racial moral panic, ignore it.

the music is an evolution of grime.

outright bigoted

Just because they take a different approach to improving peoples conditions that is more concrete than the paper thin protections offered by capitalist societies gay acceptance doesnt make them outright bigoted. Which is basically a 'we wont put you in an insane asylum or prison anymore but we will use you as moral panic bait forever in our newspapers to turn a profit' approach.

LGBT+ liberation must include improving peoples material conditions, countries actively being genocided or deprived because of western policies deserve our support as victims of our own aggression too; If you actually care about LGBT+ people globally it means stopping our devestation of them, then letting them heal.

I've been to China, I felt much more safe there as a openly bi man with my male partner at the time than I ever do in the UK; our news whips people up into a frenzy and makes people attack each other physically, you dont get the same undercurrent of rage in socialist countries towards LGBT+ people, just a lack of understanding.

ghost_of_faso2 ,
@ghost_of_faso2@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Lets not even mention how China has entire 200+ million population zones that have been openly tolerant and accepting of trans people culturally, forever (Shanghai) and that China isnt even actively oppressive towards LGBT+ people, just ignorant in some areas.

Nowhere in China are politicans debating actively genociding trans people, they are in Florida. Trans people are also the medias current beating horse in the UK.

Dont get too bogged down in the anarchist/ML dialetic, its not actually that present in real life

In real life anarchists call themselves communists and communists call themselves anarchists, they both want the same thing, a stateless society; they just disagree on how to get there. Anchro-Communism is a completely valid and respectable approach, I dont follow it myself but they are closely alligned enough that any support is mutually beneficial.

Do be wary of the pseudo-anarchist, who is just in it for the aesthetics and hasnt read any theory. 'Red fash' is the biggest give away you're speaking to a liberal/fash in a black hoody. Anarchists who focus on collabartion, praxis and unity can be worked with, and they represent the vast majority.

You might think otherwise from talking online, but you need to remember anarchists actually doing shit irl arent spending there time calling MLs red fash online.

Its not abstract at all, 'Marxism' is an entire field in sociology and is recongised + fundemental to understanding sociology.
