Psychocommunism (psychedelia + communism) is a [[File:Com.png]] [[Communism|communist]], [[File:Intersectional_Communism.png]] [[Marxist Feminism|intersectional]], and [[File:AntiParl.png]] [[Libertarian Socialism|anti-parliamentarian]] ideology created by Maritime.

==[[File:Book.png]] My View==
*[[File:Com.png]] Communism is a movement which can liberate man from the forces of capital which make their life mundane through constant oppression and theft of the products/rewards of their labour.
*[[File:MoralNihil.png]] Morals are artificial products of the dominant system in place; our morality is still heavily based off of Christian ideas, as the curse of Christianity still lingers, even in secular society.
*[[File:Antilib.png]] Liberalism comes with a lot of things, but it's main tenant is the subjugation of man under the forces of capital. It's idea of a pursuit of happiness can be seen as twisted and false, due to this subjugation.
*[[File:NihilCom.png]] Communism is not a system to be established but rather the disestablishment of systems; it is the most extreme form of liberation.
*[[File:Revolution.png]] Freedom is obtained (it shall never be given in "good will", only in "good plans") and so we must obtain it if we want it.
*[[File:AntiEquality.png]] The idea that communism is "equality" which has emerged through degeneration/memeification of the term has changed public perception of communism in a way that has negatively affected it. Equality is likely to be viewed as something authoritarian by those who understand it can never happen.
*[[File:Neolib.png]] The false idea of individualism and freedom through decentralism and worker "empowerment/representation" is a bunch of bullshit to convince us we're in a developed special capitalism, unlike the barbarism of the past eras. There is no capitalist development - it is communism or it is barbarism.
*[[File:Soc.png]] The development of modern neoliberal capitalism has killed the previous forms; there exists a poignant control society, which connects capitalism and oppression together symbiotically; if we want freedom, we want communism. (Though it appears in the left, the reverse of this statement "If we want communism, we want freedom." sometimes does not apply.)
*[[File:AntiPinkcap.png]] Integration is not enough; a self-respecting individual should never let themselves be integrated into a system whose core tenant is their oppression. (Using "who" for the system is quite a folly, for this system is not just about individuals; the oppression shall not disappear if we change who the oppressors are. As [[File:Marcuse.png]] Marcuse said, free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.) The idea of worker integration such as with election of bosses in business, and higher freedom of expression is blasphemous - it can even be considered fundamentally anti-proletarian.

==[[File:Antilib.png]] Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness==
Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is a slogan oft associated with the classical liberal idea, so we shall take it as the 3 pillars of liberalism. Liberalism advertises itself here with this slogan as individualistic - allowing man to pursuit happiness. But, the liberal capitalist system does not suffice for this, for my pursuit of happiness lies outside of the worship of the deities of capital - this stance, the stance of the universally oppressed proletarian, is, despite it being majoritarian, considered an anomaly, and like in all systems, is thrown aside - the individual's liberty to pursuit their happiness is tossed. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness becomes merely a slogan worshipping the deities of capital, giving a false promise of self-liberation, trying to fit capitalism into the "liberation" slot when communism is in fact the social stage which belongs there. I see liberalism as merely a montage to subjugate the individual to the demands of capital.

==[[File:NeolibAutocrat.png]] Liberalism and Freedom==
Liberalism, or more specifically the new highest stage of capitalism - neoliberal capitalism, has co-opted the idea of freedom. Freedom no longer means man acting in their own free will, nor man being away from tyranny which stops them from achieving what they desire. Freedom now is comparable to being murdered but they'll pay for your funeral afterwards, or wrap you up in a little pink blanket afterwards. The bosses still exist, but in different forms - forms which comfort us. Ranks are decentralised, at heavy costs to efficiency (see the NHS, where decentralised roles has partly contributed to its decline), just to keep a façade of freedom. Neoliberal capitalism is incredibly good at re-inventing terms to fit the requirements of capital - the things which need to be patched within the capitalist system, and the term "freedom" is not a straggler, avoiding this everytime. Freedom through reform is already a lost idea; we need total liberation.

==[[File:Mansphere.png]] Masculinity and Melancholia==
==[[File:Mansphere.png]] Masculinity and Melancholia==
A common strategy of the media is targeted melancholia e.g. postcolonial melancholia, in which the media causes distress upon those who feel inferior due to the collapse of the empires they used to hold in history making them rather irrelevant. The same can be said for the idea of masculinity. With contributors such as [[File:Fem.png]] feminism, and [[File:Sexual Revolution.png]] sexual liberation, traditional masculinity and those who espouse it feel as if their position on the throne of humanity has been taken from underneath them; capitalism of course enforces a hierarchy which it can culturally displace without actually displacing; women are still suffering more than men, immigrants still more than natives, and yet, many feel the case is the opposite. I believe this to be an example of what I just said. This form of "post-patriarchal" melancholia (though the patriarchy still exists) is widely promoted, such as with the rise in popularity of "masculinity" content on social media; a clear showcase that there is a demand in recent times. (this really is a surge; one day, it was nowhere, the next day, it was everywhere.) I feel this rise in masculine sentiment to be quite contrary to the [[File:CapAcceleration.png]] progressive nature of capitalism, as it seems more [[File:CapDeceleration.png]] regressive, but these terms are rather subjective. I haven't really made much of a point in this small snippet, other than maybe capitalism's ability to make a hierarchy appear shifted when it in fact is not at all shifted, but I felt like writing about this small observation.

==Opinions==
===[[File:Yes.png]] Comrades in Arms===
===[[File:Kinda_Yes.png]] Agreeable===
*{{Template:RevFris}} - You're definitely the most agreeable reactionary on here, combining together your love for Frisia with  a retainment of inclusivity, as well as your still socialist beliefs. I'd say I disagree mostly with the agrarianism. (Your view on the EU I read in your Relations section is also pretty agreeable.)
===[[File:Meh.png]] Middle of the Road===
===[[File:Kinda_No.png]] Off-putting===
*{{Template:Supergnostic}} - I definitely would not consider you Machinery tier that's for sure. A monarchy to me is no better or no worse than a republic; it all looks exactly the same to me, the state continues a tool for class oppression either way, so I'm not exactly inclined to critique anybody based on that - single-issue politics like the Republican movement in the UK are simply proletarian suicide, as they affirm that capitalism can "get better." Anyways, I'm going off track, aren't I? I don't really understand the ideas of Nietzsche yet - he's someone I definitely should read considering how many times I've seen his name dropped. I'm disliking of the idea of a caste system, especially the barbaric one's seen in the Indian subcontinent - I mean the one today in India is disgusting, Stalinist decentralism applied to a caste system is something which disgusts me so, over 3,000 castes in India, and that excludes sub-castes. What do you think someone's soul type will be determined by? I'm against someone's birth deciding their entire fate, but my classification of this class system on the scale of Meh to Terrible very much depends on this. The Conservative Revolution is something I won't doubt as revolutionary;  I think that's a silly argument; capitalism is an inherently progressive force, especially today where it clutches at every single-issue liberatory movement/folk politic demonstration it can get its hand on, turning it into a sludged poignant melancholy - I do not worship the past and I'm not exactly going to worship the future anymore, but I must say that I hate the systems of the past. Not sure what spiritual racism is, wonder if I can find that out sometime. Your anti-abrahamicism is agreeable to me, I am disgusted by Abrahamic faiths, but we likely are for different reasons, and I also am unsure of my position on non-abrahamic religions, which may be just as bad for all I know. We're both anti-liberal, again likely for different reasons? I don't take traditionalism as something bad, I wouldn't say its good, but there isn't bad inherent to Traditionalism, though I think I will need to understand the topic a lot more to make a better view on it. So in summary, I've got quite a few questions about this belief, and quite a few things I need to learn to understand it better. Hopefully once I learn more, I will be able to create a better opinion.
===[[File:No.png]] Machinery===
*{{KK}} - I'll add you before you ask, because you will end up asking. This tier, Gato Matador, is for those whose views I heavily dislike; your distasteful liberalism, which has locked away the freedom for the workingman, in exchange for neofreedom, neofreedom being a disease, which upkeeps a problem, that being oppression by capital, and slowly changes that problems form until we are blindly convinced of our liberation. I hope you someday come around to understand the problem with liberal capitalism and the failure of the idea that someone can pursuit happiness with it; become free and embrace communism - the workingmen of all lands shall be liberated and finally we shall pursuit happiness, no longer under the wretched oppression of capital, in which our labour creations are sucked from us, stolen from our very hands, by an undeserving bourgeoisie class whom have been liberated at our expense for too long. You are proletarian - you must not fall to a bourgeoisie system's false promises any longer, Killer Kitty.
*{{Template:DECBism}} - Refer to above. Also, please answer my questions in the comments 🙏 - I mean heck they are such questioning questions that me and Killer Kitty are seemingly on the same side in them, like holy fuck, that is NOT something you see everyday.

Communism for us is not a state of affairs to be established, an ideal to which reality have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement, which seeks to abolish the present state of things.

Karl Marx, The German Ideology[1]


Psychocommunism (psychedelia + communism) is a communist, intersectional, and anti-parliamentarian ideology created by Maritime. Here I criticise capitalism's bleakness, false individualism, and how communism would liberate man from these undesirable ideas. My main influences are Mark Fisher, Karl Marx, and probably some others who I've forgotten to write down. I am also very wholsum. (trve)
Here's my icons if you wish to add me: (///)

My View

  • Communism is a movement which can liberate man from the forces of capital which make their life mundane through constant oppression and theft of the products/rewards of their labour.
  • Morals are artificial products of the dominant system in place; our morality is still heavily based off of Christian ideas, as the curse of Christianity still lingers, even in secular society.
  • Liberalism comes with a lot of things, but it's main tenant is the subjugation of man under the forces of capital. It's idea of a pursuit of happiness can be seen as twisted and false, due to this subjugation.
  • Communism is not a system to be established but rather the disestablishment of systems; it is the most extreme form of liberation.
  • Freedom is obtained (it shall never be given in "good will", only in "good plans") and so we must obtain it if we want it.
  • The idea that communism is "equality" which has emerged through degeneration/memeification of the term has changed public perception of communism in a way that has negatively affected it. Equality is likely to be viewed as something authoritarian by those who understand it can never happen.
  • The false idea of individualism and freedom through decentralism and worker "empowerment/representation" is a bunch of bullshit to convince us we're in a developed special capitalism, unlike the barbarism of the past eras. There is no capitalist development - it is communism or it is barbarism.
  • The development of modern neoliberal capitalism has killed the previous forms; there exists a poignant control society, which connects capitalism and oppression together symbiotically; if we want freedom, we want communism. (Though it appears in the left, the reverse of this statement "If we want communism, we want freedom." sometimes does not apply.)
  • Integration is not enough; a self-respecting individual should never let themselves be integrated into a system whose core tenant is their oppression. (Using "who" for the system is quite a folly, for this system is not just about individuals; the oppression shall not disappear if we change who the oppressors are. As Marcuse said, free election of masters does not abolish the masters or the slaves.) The idea of worker integration such as with election of bosses in business, and higher freedom of expression is blasphemous - it can even be considered fundamentally anti-proletarian.

Goals Thingy (WIP)

What is Discrete Authoritarianism?

WIP: Possibly explain the motives behind the bourgeoise to change their form, definitely explain how the market fits into authoritarianism, apparatuses of the bourgeoise state, religions upholding of private property, etc. etc.
Discrete authoritarianism is the cross-roads to libertarian totalitarianism - what I mean by this is a state of civilization in which a culture centered around a specific control society and a specific method of production is so prevalent that it has consumed all of its enemies - where indirect rule has become stronger than direct rule, or more specifically an indirect hegemony. It is like a cultural anarcho-totalitarianism, the most advanced stage of hegemony. Discrete authoritarianism can be found as an essential part of neoliberal capitalism's control society, which permeates at least slightly through everyone exposed to the rule of neoliberal(-adjacent) parties. Capitalist realism is in essence the cultural cult around the specific method of production (capitalism) and the control society which comes through the newest, "cushioned" capitalism - that being neoliberalism, the third way, and others.

A Brief on Bourgeoisie power

Let us imagine the bourgeoise as a familiar form - the party. We have been led to believe this party has been reduced in power over the years, we have been led to believe that the opposition (the proletariat) has gained a foothold within society. But this is far from the truth - this party has not been overthrown, not even slightly. The party has merely changed form for it has found more subtle ways of maintaining total control, ways other than direct rule - what we today would call “authoritarianism”. The party has molded itself into new institutions: the “free” market, or the “worker” unions (this mold is comparable to a virus, as it has co-opted a formerly proletarian institution). The party did not die, the party evolved. Now let us talk about authoritarianism. When you think of authoritarianism, you likely think of a 1984-esque setting - dark and gloomy, secret police and military all around, free speech dead. Very different to our western democracies, keeping this difference is a necessity to hold together a façade. Imagine authoritarianism as something different - cultural hegemony, silent destruction of opposing views through commodification and co-optation - all that is opposed doomed to become an ally. This is the reality we find ourselves in, under neoliberal capitalism. Whether it be the police state propelled by bayonets or the façade democracy, authoritarianism is central to all bourgeoise systems, for they are unnatural (despite how they love to pretend they aren’t).

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness

Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness is a slogan oft associated with the classical liberal idea, so we shall take it as the 3 pillars of liberalism. Liberalism advertises itself here with this slogan as individualistic - allowing man to pursuit happiness. But, the liberal capitalist system does not suffice for this, for my pursuit of happiness lies outside of the worship of the deities of capital - this stance, the stance of the universally oppressed proletarian, is, despite it being majoritarian, considered an anomaly, and like in all systems, is thrown aside - the individual's liberty to pursuit their happiness is tossed. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness becomes merely a slogan worshipping the deities of capital, giving a false promise of self-liberation, trying to fit capitalism into the "liberation" slot when communism is in fact the social stage which belongs there. I see liberalism as merely a montage to subjugate the individual to the demands of capital.

Liberalism and Freedom

Liberalism, or more specifically the new highest stage of capitalism - neoliberal capitalism, has co-opted the idea of freedom. Freedom no longer means man acting in their own free will, nor man being away from tyranny which stops them from achieving what they desire. Freedom now is comparable to being murdered but they'll pay for your funeral afterwards, or wrap you up in a little pink blanket afterwards. The bosses still exist, but in different forms - forms which comfort us. Ranks are decentralised, at heavy costs to efficiency (see the NHS, where decentralised roles has partly contributed to its decline), just to keep a façade of freedom. Neoliberal capitalism is incredibly good at re-inventing terms to fit the requirements of capital - the things which need to be patched within the capitalist system, and the term "freedom" is not a straggler, avoiding this everytime. Freedom through reform is already a lost idea; we need total liberation.

How Modern Capitalism killed the party-form

WIP: Explanation of neoliberalism's discrete authoritarianism, the transformation of bourgeoise control being a main difference between modern and past capitalism, and what effect this had on the party-form Note: This will be in-progress for a while, as I expect it to be quite long.

Masculinity and Melancholia

A common strategy of the media is targeted melancholia e.g. postcolonial melancholia, in which the media causes distress upon those who feel inferior due to the collapse of the empires they used to hold in history making them rather irrelevant. The same can be said for the idea of masculinity. With contributors such as feminism, and sexual liberation, traditional masculinity and those who espouse it feel as if their position on the throne of humanity has been taken from underneath them; capitalism of course enforces a hierarchy which it can culturally displace without actually displacing; women are still suffering more than men, immigrants still more than natives, and yet, many feel the case is the opposite. I believe this to be an example of what I just said. This form of "post-patriarchal" melancholia (though the patriarchy still exists) is widely promoted, such as with the rise in popularity of "masculinity" content on social media; a clear showcase that there is a demand in recent times. (this really is a surge; one day, it was nowhere, the next day, it was everywhere.) I feel this rise in masculine sentiment to be quite contrary to the progressive nature of capitalism, as it seems more regressive, but these terms are rather subjective. I haven't really made much of a point in this small snippet, other than maybe capitalism's ability to make a hierarchy appear shifted when it in fact is not at all shifted, but I felt like writing about this small observation.

Opinions

Comrades in Arms

Agreeable

  •  Revolutionary Frisianism - You're definitely the most agreeable reactionary on here, combining together your love for Frisia with a retainment of inclusivity, as well as your still socialist beliefs. I'd say I disagree mostly with the agrarianism. (Your view on the EU I read in your Relations section is also pretty agreeable.)

Middle of the Road

Off-putting

  • 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐧𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐦 - I definitely would not consider you Machinery tier that's for sure. A monarchy to me is no better or no worse than a republic; it all looks exactly the same to me, the state continues a tool for class oppression either way, so I'm not exactly inclined to critique anybody based on that - single-issue politics like the Republican movement in the UK are simply proletarian suicide, as they affirm that capitalism can "get better." Anyways, I'm going off track, aren't I? I don't really understand the ideas of Nietzsche yet - he's someone I definitely should read considering how many times I've seen his name dropped. I'm disliking of the idea of a caste system, especially the barbaric one's seen in the Indian subcontinent - I mean the one today in India is disgusting, Stalinist decentralism applied to a caste system is something which disgusts me so, over 3,000 castes in India, and that excludes sub-castes. What do you think someone's soul type will be determined by? I'm against someone's birth deciding their entire fate, but my classification of this class system on the scale of Meh to Terrible very much depends on this. The Conservative Revolution is something I won't doubt as revolutionary; I think that's a silly argument; capitalism is an inherently progressive force, especially today where it clutches at every single-issue liberatory movement/folk politic demonstration it can get its hand on, turning it into a sludged poignant melancholy - I do not worship the past and I'm not exactly going to worship the future anymore, but I must say that I hate the systems of the past. Not sure what spiritual racism is, wonder if I can find that out sometime. Your anti-abrahamicism is agreeable to me, I am disgusted by Abrahamic faiths, but we likely are for different reasons, and I also am unsure of my position on non-abrahamic religions, which may be just as bad for all I know. We're both anti-liberal, again likely for different reasons? I don't take traditionalism as something bad, I wouldn't say its good, but there isn't bad inherent to Traditionalism, though I think I will need to understand the topic a lot more to make a better view on it. So in summary, I've got quite a few questions about this belief, and quite a few things I need to learn to understand it better. Hopefully once I learn more, I will be able to create a better opinion.

Machinery

  • Brazilian Liberalism - I'll add you before you ask, because you will end up asking. This tier, Gato Matador, is for those whose views I heavily dislike; your distasteful liberalism, which has locked away the freedom for the workingman, in exchange for neofreedom, neofreedom being a disease, which upkeeps a problem, that being oppression by capital, and slowly changes that problems form until we are blindly convinced of our liberation. I hope you someday come around to understand the problem with liberal capitalism and the failure of the idea that someone can pursuit happiness with it; become free and embrace communism - the workingmen of all lands shall be liberated and finally we shall pursuit happiness, no longer under the wretched oppression of capital, in which our labour creations are sucked from us, stolen from our very hands, by an undeserving bourgeoisie class whom have been liberated at our expense for too long. You are proletarian - you must not fall to a bourgeoisie system's false promises any longer, Killer Kitty.
  •  DECBism - Refer to above. Also, please answer my questions in the comments 🙏 - I mean heck they are such questioning questions that me and Killer Kitty are seemingly on the same side in them, like holy fuck, that is NOT something you see everyday.

  1. Haven't actually read this yet, but damn I need to.
  2. Ordered by author...mostly
  3. I especially liked the last section Sexual Egoism: A Critique of Labels
  4. I likely won't read most of these critically, as they are still a good learning experience. e.g. Imperialism, The Highest Stage of Capitalism by Vladimir Lenin I've heard to be an incredible book.
