{{Eleuth}} is a [[File:Egocom.png]] [[Communism|communist]] ideology created by Mari. Central to its beliefs is the idea that communism is the only viable method for self-liberation e.g. the realisation of [[File:Egophil.png]] {{PHB|Stirnerism|the creative nothing}} due to its destruction of the capitalist mode of production which has a [[File:CapRealism.png]] {{PHB|Fisherism|pervasive atmosphere}} which is at conflict with this liberation. Eleutherianism does not have an idea of organisation yet, most notably because [[File:Book.png]] [[Kakistocracy|it has not read enough]].

==[[File:Book.png]] Summary (WIP)==
*[[File:Revolution.png]] Methods which are fully in the bounds of the law such as peaceful protest and trade unionism are absolutely useless; falling to the idea that today's society can be destroyed by today's apparatus is blindness. We must throw away the old apparatus during our upheaval.
*What appears voluntary may not be so voluntary afterall. There are many things the individual may worship; gods, traditions, cultures, a false sense of justice, but worships are often environmental, structured into us from our entry into civilization. The superstructure of capitalist society is, in some ways, homogenizing when it comes to culture, though what it sets as the standard is not unchangeable.
*[[File:Relativism.png]] In capitalist societies, the ontology of the general populous is [[File:BusinessOntology.png]] one of business. This is a substantial contributor to capitalist realism, which is in effect the outright rejection of self-liberation, and a failure of the human to rule over themselves. The molding of ontology by dominant ideology makes me believe in ontological relativism. Overall, business ontology is a false ontology where we see that our oppression is normalcy or even clemency and in doing so oppress ourselves.
*[[File:CapRealism.png]] Capitalist realism is something which makes people justify their own oppression; they put upon themselves the right to be oppressed. Capitalist realism in this sense is comparable to a religion, where capital has become the supernatural entity which is worshiped by those under this realism.
*[[File:Ormarxf.png]] Marxism is an ever-developing doctrine; falling to religious-like dogma would be one of the worst mistakes.
*[[File:Egocom.png]] Communism is the only way for us to realise the creative nothing, for it shall end the [[File:CapRealism.png]] [[Acid Communism|pervasive atmosphere of post-Fordist capitalism]], [[File:Situ.png]] [[Situationism|the continuous commodification of ourselves, our experiences, and our desires]], and free ourselves from the rigid (yet fluid in the hyperreality presented to us) structures surrounding us; we ourselves shall become schizophrenics who break away the mold we cast ourselves into the second we enter this wretched society. My life is not a playtoy for the supernatural; whether the God be Theistic or Capitalistic, it does not matter; I reject all externalities.
 
==[[File:Com.png]] Communism (WIP)==
Communism, in the modern world, has become a misnomer. Communism is something that people do not understand, attach to different things, and really just rub off on anything that doesn’t flow their way. Transgender people have become “communism“, Kamala Harris has become ”communism“, anything which demands the subjective idea of ”progress“ (which is much tied to the much uncommunist American liberal ideal) we have in this modern world is given this not so flattering label. This is why I choose to write this segment to answer, from my perspective, some ideas about what communism is. First of all, what Marx and Engels wrote were not step by step, infallible guides - Marx and Engels were historical materialists and so saw history as dynamic i.e. shaped by material (such as economic and social) conditions. Marx and Engels did not write blueprints but rather gave analysis which could be used for devising methods of organisation later. The living conditions of Alpine dwellers will always be different from those of the plainsmen, and so the method of the former will differ to the method of the latter. A mistake of the Bolshevik Lenin was to attempt to apply a form of praxis born from Russian material conditions to the rest of Europe; this partly led to the defeat of revolutions in Germany (for example, the contact of trade unions which whilst revolutionary in Russia due to their recent development, had in Germany merely became a tool of the bourgeoisie and therefore useful only for small amounts of class consciousness; their image would merely hold a single piece in a larger, thousand-brick puzzle.) Marxism is a philosophy of constant evolution; it is the doctrine of the liberation of the proletariat, and so it is largely dependent on the root cause and shaping of oppression, which have changed in the modern world; things that were once revolutionary can become reactionary (see previous thing on trade unions in Russia vs Germany, this was early 1900s.)<br><br>
Higher-stage communism is not a stage of total equality as it is presented in your little Western history books; it is not a Utopia; the Marxian doctrine of scientific socialism was a synthesis of socialism and materialism in the face of utopian socialism, which had only looked forward. Marxism looks at the present, as well as the past, though the now anachronistic doctrine of Marxism-Leninism can struggle to do the former. It is also based off of Marxism for an Agrarian Russia which is long gone to history - the modern Russian Federation and the Russian Empire as well as Russian DFR are miles apart. While Leninist tactics may prove helpful elsewhere (we cannot say they are completely dead, this would be absolutely pessimistic. Empirical evidence suggests their effectiveness. Adapted tactics such as the guerilla warfare of Maoist doctrines also continue to work in the Philippines despite Leninism being a back Maoism praxeologically leans on. (Though Maoism's class collaboration makes it counter-revolutionary anyways, fact's don't care about your feelings Maotard.)), they must not become a religious doctrine; they must not become something which overrides the science of scientific socialism, lest we fail, and failure must be avoided in the struggle for liberation.
 
==[[File:Cap2 Alt.png]] Untitled Ramble on Capitalism or Something==
Two of capitalism's main processes are deterritorialization and reterritorialization. Deterritorialization is the process of disestablishment of traditional structures/norms/ways of life. This could for example be through innovation, or globalization. Reterritorialization is, inversely, the re-establishment of these structures, though not in their original form; they are differentiated for they become slaves of the current e.g. their disruption of the status quo is destroyed. The evolution of gangster rap is an example of this cycle of deterritorialization and reterritorialization at work. Early gangster rap was from communities which were oppressed under American racial policies, or other kinds of discrimination. (notably African-Americans, who of course went unnoticed in mainstream media) We can say that in this period gangster rap was heretical comparatively to mainstream music, precisely because of its origins and contents (unfiltered and against authority oppressing them the subject.) Gangster rap is no longer this way though; let's see this contemporary gangster rap. First of all, "unfiltered and against authority" has not exactly disappeared but rather been tamed; it has become a normalcy, much like the interpassivity of Wall-E (though this started and ended as interpassivity, it never held a revolutionary aspect). This normalisation of anti-authority in gangster rap has lost its meaning; popularising anti-authority has been like a shooting of the movement, and capitalism is the firer of the bullet (its shot heart has been replaced with an artificial one, which gives a false appearance of normal livelihood, but it is ever changed). What once was rebellious now just lives as another of many "alternative" (i.e. mainstream) genres. Rap became a marketable product; it was commodified, and now it is useless. This is what reterritorialisation is in capitalism; rebellion is subjugated. Let's look at that note earlier: "unfiltered and against authority oppressing them the subject." Early gangster rappers were oppressed economically; they faced not only distrust from the general populace (distrust of alternatives during their rebellious stage is a notable feature of capitalist cultural hegemony), modern gangster rappers are now rather wealthy. This mere observation is not a full story, it must be accompanied by other ideas, but I believe it is a helpful observation nonetheless.

==[[File:Cball-England.png]] England (StC)==
There are most definitely key moments in English history where changes in material conditions significantly changed social relations and power structures. We can see this first in the transition from Feudalism to Capitalism starting around the 16th century. The Enclosure Act caused, starting from 1604, created legal rights to private property in previously common land. Between 1604 and 1914, over 5,200 individual acts enclosing public land were passed, each stapling the long lost era of Feudalism leaning further into the depths of history. These enclosures, which we can see as the foundation of private property in England, can be seen to contribute to the rise of wage labour, which reshaped class relations and created the traditional classes of Bourgeoisie and Proletariat. This was extremified even more in the England's Industrial Revolution, which was early comparatively to other major powers.<br><br>
[WIP]<br><br>
England has entered the age of post-Fordist capitalism - this is what we often to as neoliberalism. We see the growth of the class of the precariat in this time, alongside new, "flexible" (or "precarious") labour; A gig economy has arisen. This can be seen with many more people facing the issue of zero-hour contracts; in 2023, 3.6 percent of all workers in the United Kingdom were on a zero-hours contract, compared with just 0.4 percent in the mid-2000s.

==[[File:Marx.png]] A General Critique of Marxist-Leninist States (WIP)==
{{Quote|The moral code of our society is so demanding that no one can think, feel and act in a completely moral way. For example, we are not supposed to hate anyone, yet almost everyone hates somebody at some time or other, whether he admits it to himself or not. Some people are so highly socialized that the attempt to think, feel and act morally imposes a severe burden on them. In order to avoid feelings of guilt, they continually have to deceive themselves about their own motives and find moral explanations for feelings and actions that in reality have a non-moral origin. We use the term “oversocialized” to describe such people.|[[File:Ted Kaczynski.png]] Ted Kaczynski|Industrial Society and its Future}}
The Marxist-Leninist implementation of the communist project is the most venerated communist movement among the various communist parties among the world. Despite the praise given to such a movement, this movement is not the real movement for the liberation of the proletariat, which Marx and Engels spoke of in their original texts, and we can see this through the "socialist commodity production" present within the USSR under the tenure of Joseph Stalin, the theoriser of Marxist-Leninist ideology. We can characterise socialism as the end of the commodity form, as well as the wage-labour system, which under the capitalist mode of production, has become our answer to the basic economic problem of scarcity. It is incorrect to suppose that socialism is merely a stage in which private ownership of the means of production is ended; this is not the fulfillment of the socialist project, otherwise, we would conclude that state capitalism is a form of socialism, which is clearly a false statement. The commodity is defined as having a two-fold value, a use-value, and an exchange-value, with the law of value determining that the value of a commodity is determined by its socially necessary labor time (the amount of time "required to produce an article under the normal conditions of production, and with the average degree of skill and intensity") Despite the nationalisation of industry within the USSR, the economy there still maintained capitalist properties, there was no transcendence of the laws of capitalist economy. Even if we were to suggest the means of production were put in the hands of the labourer, this is of course not the achievement of the socialist project, because without the transcendence of the commodity (which would itself eliminate private ownership of the means of production through the socialisation/decommodification of the MoP), we cannot say socialism exists. Under the USSR, workers were merely wage labourers under ''state'' capitalism.<br><br>But we need to prove this of course, this is multiple useless statements otherwise.<br><br>First, we look at Marx's critique of political economy.
{{Quote|Commodities come into the world in the shape of use values, articles, or goods, such as iron, linen, corn, &c. This is their plain, homely, bodily form. They are, however, commodities, only because they are something two-fold, both objects of utility, and, at the same time, depositories of value. They manifest themselves therefore as commodities, or have the form of commodities, only in so far as they have two forms, a physical or natural form, and a value form.|[[File:Marx.png]] Karl Marx|Capital, Volume 1}}
It is a basic of Marxist ideas that commodities, produced for the specific purpose of being exchanged, have both a use-value and an exchange-value, and the process of commodity production leads to alienation, where labour and its products become detached from the labourers due to the commodified means of production. In the USSR, despite the nationalisation of industries by the state, commodities still followed the law of value, which is not characteristic of a socialist society, as said by Marx in the Critique of the Gotha Programme,
{{Quote|Within the co-operative society based on common ownership of the means of production, the producers do not exchange their products; '''just as little does the labor employed on the products appear here as the value of these products, as a material quality possessed by them''', since now, in contrast to capitalist society, individual labor no longer exists in an indirect fashion but directly as a component part of total labor. |[[File:Marx.png]] Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme}}<br>
It is admitted by Joseph Stalin that the law of value operated within the USSR,
{{Quote|In our country, the sphere of operation of the law of value extends, first of all, to commodity circulation, to the ex-change of commodities through purchase and sale, the ex-change, chiefly, of articles of personal consumption. Here, in this sphere, the law of value preserves, within certain limits, of course, the function of a regulator.|[[File:Stalin.png]] Joseph Stalin, Economic Problems of the USSR}}
Therefore, despite claims of socialism, the USSR retained laws of capitalist economy within its structure, which can be seen as contradictory to Marx's view of socialism. It should not be controversial to suggest that if commodities were produced and those commodities were still subject to the law of value present within capitalist modes of production, the system failed to transcend ''capitalist'' law and therefore failed to achieve socialism, as the economy continued to operate within a framework that Marx opposed in his critique of political economy. Therefore, we can see the USSR as a state capitalist state.<br>


I am influenced by Ted Kaczynski and his manifesto: Industrial Society and its Future. Though, I am influenced by him in a critical fashion. Kaczynski blames industrial society for the problem of oversocialization, whereas I would blame capitalist society for this moral headache. We can see that in Capitalist Society, people have become commodities, and so has their desire, in order to fit the needs of this society of infinite production and infinite consumption. We can say that our subjective ideas, what some say "makes us human" (though this is itself subjective), but moreso makes us "individual", are manipulated in this way. And this is a fault of capitalism, not the vague "industrialism" Kaczynski blames.<br><br>
==[[File:Marketsoc.png]] A Critique of Market Socialism==
Capitalism safeguards the right to individualism, but not everywhere. We are continuously groomed into comformity through consumer culture which can be seen as a burdening form of collectivism, not based off of interdependence, but rather coercion. This consumer culture serves the interests of Capital, the real God of our society. This changes the individual, who lives in hyperreal freedom, whilst their actions are in fact an artificial reflex action. We believe we are autonomous beings, with our own morals, our own standards, but in fact we, the human, are an ideological construct.
Market socialism has become quite the disappointment, largely because its premise is one made to be as such in the first place. Market socialists subscribe to heterodox thought that markets can exist within a socialist mode of production, which is a completely flawed form of non-orthodoxy, rather than a revolutionary one seen by particularly beautiful revolutionary theorists across the decades. We can see that within the market socialist economy, the means of production are put in the hands of the producers, but this is of course, as noted with any critique of marxist-leninists to ever exist in the history of mankind, the achievement of socialism, it is merely a step, or even a step within a step. The true essence of socialism comes with the transcendence of the commodity form and the end of the system of wage-labour, and is reaffirmed with the end of capitalist law e.g. the law of value. To suggest that market socialism (which can be summarised no less or more than the social democracy with a fantastical love for cooperatives) is a socialist mode of production is an incorrect idea.
<br><br>
So how does this relate to oversocialization? Well a) we consider capitalism's interference to be the deterritorialisation of social relations between people, which oversocialization is premised upon (how the collective "people" act is definitely an influencer in these social relations) and b) we can see that the demands of the capitalist mode of production commodifies someone's sense of self and so deceives them into believing they are "moralistic" or "progressive" as we call it (this progressivism is a sham) when in fact  these "progressive"/"sjw" beliefs are a capitalist by-product.
<br><br>
All in all, this shows how Kaczynski's idea of oversocialisation is in fact caused by the capitalist mode of production, rather than merely "industrialism" (e.g. technological development). The cause of Kaczynski's problems was post-Fordist capitalism.


==[[File:BusinessOntology.png]] Business Ontology==
==[[File:AntiNation.png]] The Nation as a Machine==
Much like how we cannot conceive of Stalinism without propaganda, nor light without dark, we also cannot perceive of production without business. This is the concept Mark Fisher referred to as business ontology. Business ontology is part of the wider scope of "capitalist realism", for it is contained within that pervasive atmosphere which is termed as so.

*[[File:Hered.png]] {{PCBA|Heredism}} - Socialism is not the absence of private ownership of the means of production but rather much more, e.g. the transcendence of capitalist law which the USSR failed to do. We do not "confuse commodity production with capitalism", you confuse nationalisation with socialism. Is it so that the Ente Tabacchi Italiano in the Kingdom of Italy showed a commitment to socialism? No, most certainly not, because the capitalist law of value as described by Marx in which the value of a commodity is determined by the socially necessary labour time required to produce it continued. This was the same within the USSR, where the law of value continued alongside commodity production, expanding this nationalisation upon a larger scale does not make the step between the capitalist and socialist mode of production.


==Opinions==
===[[File:Mega_No.png]] Karl Kautsky===
*[[File:Schaber.png]] [[Schaberism]] ([[File:Kak.png]]/[[File:ComKak.png]]/[[File:Honk.png]]/[[File:Statesoc.png]]) - Absolutely terrible. Actual strawman communism, it's so bad. Communism is a doctrine of liberating yourself from the boot, not putting yourself under a new, red boot.
*[[File:Marloweicon.png]] {{PCBA|Indenforism}} - Really cool art and an awesome person, but terribly depressing ideology. Capitalism causes people to become archetypes and lose their meaning, there is no hope under the capitalist mode of production for the individualistic liberation the libertarian movement claims to desire.. I do not want to be the wolf of wall street, the corporate drone, nor the entrepreneur. I wish to be I but I is slain, I is gone, I died when it entered this civilisation. Transhumanism is an added eh, sure, it removes the idea of a sacred human body to uphold, but it then merely replaces it with a new thing, so yeah really doesn't transgress enough boundaries.
*[[File:Venut.png]] [[Venatrixism]] ([[File:Dutchgermanleft.png]]/[[File:Accel.png]]/[[File:Anticiv.png]]/[[File:Egophil.png]]) - A lot I don't understand of this, like accelerationism, but what I do understand I do like a lot. I too think communism is the only way for freedom of all. I love a lot of what I'm reading of Stirner so far, and taking a read of this page definitely clears up what your interpretation of that is (well...obviously...thats what a page is for, i'm very [[File:Silly.png]].) I love your paragraph on philosophy; letting higher powers shape your life is simply giving yourself the right of tyranny, and I know, at least for me, that I disdain this tyranny, so rejection of these higher powers, no matter what they may be, or how they present themselves, is important. The people who see these higher powers as ways to cushion their fall don't realize that they are the one's pushing them down in the first place; they grant that right to be pushed when they embrace anything but their own will. I would write about the other stuff like councils, Bataille, etc., but I probably would have a mediocre understanding of them, which would make nothing worthy of writing. Overall, very incredible thought. I am excited to read more.

*[[File:Juche.png]] [[Juche]] - The natural conclusion of Bolshevism in an age of globalization. It ''survives'', but is it a dictatorship of the proletariat?
*[[File:Nitrismlol.png]] {{PCBA|Nitrism}} - One of the ''better?'' ethnonationalists I've seen. Still absolutely disgusting howeverbeit. Kaczynski's critique of leftism is acceptable; the oversocialised nature of people on the left due to internalised morality is quite a strong argument. I am against the leftists, those being the conformist liberals who don't really do anything but shout for recognition that they are on the non-existent "right side of history". Hghhh I'm bored. You know what, fuck it, let's critique you from a common angle, that'll be fun. Question One. Can't we see nationalism as contributing to a new oversocialisation? The nation's job as a thought machine is to standardise, or "homogenise", the desire, the thoughts, and the behaviours, of those who subscribe to it. The nation acts in this generalising way, similar to the common humanist thought of today, and is...quite similar to the oversocialisation Kaczynski critiques, I would say. Question Two. You speak of testosterone as the primary element that defines masculinity in your paragraph "Masculinity". The glorification of physical strength and courage here - the masculinity you speak so highly of- is merely a surrogate activity. Kaczynski saw highly the pointlessness in the society we currently live in, and here you completley smack him in the ass (despite your claim to love him). The man must engage in masculinity to protect themselves from this existential dread, the man must ritualise the nation as another surrogate activity! Remember what Kaczynski said in Indust: {{Quote|A surrogate activity is an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that the individual pursues for the sake of the “fulfillment” that he gets from pursuing the goal, not because he needs to attain the goal itself. For instance, there is no practical motive for building enormous muscles, hitting a little ball into a hole or acquiring a complete series of postage stamps. Yet many people in our society devote themselves with passion to bodybuilding, golf or stamp-collecting. Some people are more “other-directed” than others, and therefore will more readily attach importance to a surrogate activity simply because the people around them treat it as important or because society tells them it is important. That is why some people get very serious about essentially trivial activities such as sports, or bridge, or chess, or arcane scholarly pursuits, whereas others who are more clear-sighted never see these things as anything but the surrogate activities that they are, and consequently never attach enough importance to them to satisfy their need for the power process in that way.|[[File:Ted Kaczynski.png]] Ted Kaczynski}}
*{{Template:Luisism}} - The embodiment of all I hate (whoa 🤯🤯) Christianity, like all religions, is subjugation; Catholicism wants me to subjugate myself both to the mortal and immortal - the Pope and Jesus. I shall not allow my life to be a playground for the powers you grovel at like the worm to the rabid beast. The God was a selfish being, assuming his existence according to your religion. He wanted us to throw away our potential for intelligence; the serpent led us out of this subjugation in the Garden of Eden, yet you despise it, showcasing the true Christian value above all others: submission. Your framework is also all about submission; the Feudal era was one of submission. Corporatism is an ideology of submission. This reeks of SUBMISSION; no montage, favela latinx. 0/10, would kms.

A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of communism.

Karl Marx


A General Critique of Marxist-Leninist States (WIP)

The Marxist-Leninist implementation of the communist project is the most venerated communist movement among the various communist parties among the world. Despite the praise given to such a movement, this movement is not the real movement for the liberation of the proletariat, which Marx and Engels spoke of in their original texts, and we can see this through the "socialist commodity production" present within the USSR under the tenure of Joseph Stalin, the theoriser of Marxist-Leninist ideology. We can characterise socialism as the end of the commodity form, as well as the wage-labour system, which under the capitalist mode of production, has become our answer to the basic economic problem of scarcity. It is incorrect to suppose that socialism is merely a stage in which private ownership of the means of production is ended; this is not the fulfillment of the socialist project, otherwise, we would conclude that state capitalism is a form of socialism, which is clearly a false statement. The commodity is defined as having a two-fold value, a use-value, and an exchange-value, with the law of value determining that the value of a commodity is determined by its socially necessary labor time (the amount of time "required to produce an article under the normal conditions of production, and with the average degree of skill and intensity") Despite the nationalisation of industry within the USSR, the economy there still maintained capitalist properties, there was no transcendence of the laws of capitalist economy. Even if we were to suggest the means of production were put in the hands of the labourer, this is of course not the achievement of the socialist project, because without the transcendence of the commodity (which would itself eliminate private ownership of the means of production through the socialisation/decommodification of the MoP), we cannot say socialism exists. Under the USSR, workers were merely wage labourers under state capitalism.

But we need to prove this of course, this is multiple useless statements otherwise.

First, we look at Marx's critique of political economy.

Commodities come into the world in the shape of use values, articles, or goods, such as iron, linen, corn, &c. This is their plain, homely, bodily form. They are, however, commodities, only because they are something two-fold, both objects of utility, and, at the same time, depositories of value. They manifest themselves therefore as commodities, or have the form of commodities, only in so far as they have two forms, a physical or natural form, and a value form.

Karl Marx, Capital, Volume 1


It is a basic of Marxist ideas that commodities, produced for the specific purpose of being exchanged, have both a use-value and an exchange-value, and the process of commodity production leads to alienation, where labour and its products become detached from the labourers due to the commodified means of production. In the USSR, despite the nationalisation of industries by the state, commodities still followed the law of value, which is not characteristic of a socialist society, as said by Marx in the Critique of the Gotha Programme,

Within the co-operative society based on common ownership of the means of production, the producers do not exchange their products; just as little does the labor employed on the products appear here as the value of these products, as a material quality possessed by them, since now, in contrast to capitalist society, individual labor no longer exists in an indirect fashion but directly as a component part of total labor.

Karl Marx, Critique of the Gotha Programme


It is admitted by Joseph Stalin that the law of value operated within the USSR,

In our country, the sphere of operation of the law of value extends, first of all, to commodity circulation, to the ex-change of commodities through purchase and sale, the ex-change, chiefly, of articles of personal consumption. Here, in this sphere, the law of value preserves, within certain limits, of course, the function of a regulator.

Joseph Stalin, Economic Problems of the USSR


Therefore, despite claims of socialism, the USSR retained laws of capitalist economy within its structure, which can be seen as contradictory to Marx's view of socialism. It should not be controversial to suggest that if commodities were produced and those commodities were still subject to the law of value present within capitalist modes of production, the system failed to transcend capitalist law and therefore failed to achieve socialism, as the economy continued to operate within a framework that Marx opposed in his critique of political economy. Therefore, we can see the USSR as a state capitalist state.

A Critique of Market Socialism

Market socialism has become quite the disappointment, largely because its premise is one made to be as such in the first place. Market socialists subscribe to heterodox thought that markets can exist within a socialist mode of production, which is a completely flawed form of non-orthodoxy, rather than a revolutionary one seen by particularly beautiful revolutionary theorists across the decades. We can see that within the market socialist economy, the means of production are put in the hands of the producers, but this is of course, as noted with any critique of marxist-leninists to ever exist in the history of mankind, the achievement of socialism, it is merely a step, or even a step within a step. The true essence of socialism comes with the transcendence of the commodity form and the end of the system of wage-labour, and is reaffirmed with the end of capitalist law e.g. the law of value. To suggest that market socialism (which can be summarised no less or more than the social democracy with a fantastical love for cooperatives) is a socialist mode of production is an incorrect idea.

Opportunists

  • Heredism - Socialism is not the absence of private ownership of the means of production but rather much more, e.g. the transcendence of capitalist law which the USSR failed to do. We do not "confuse commodity production with capitalism", you confuse nationalisation with socialism. Is it so that the Ente Tabacchi Italiano in the Kingdom of Italy showed a commitment to socialism? No, most certainly not, because the capitalist law of value as described by Marx in which the value of a commodity is determined by the socially necessary labour time required to produce it continued. This was the same within the USSR, where the law of value continued alongside commodity production, expanding this nationalisation upon a larger scale does not make the step between the capitalist and socialist mode of production.

Karl Kautsky

  • Indenforism - Really cool art and an awesome person, but terribly depressing ideology. Capitalism causes people to become archetypes and lose their meaning, there is no hope under the capitalist mode of production for the individualistic liberation the libertarian movement claims to desire.. I do not want to be the wolf of wall street, the corporate drone, nor the entrepreneur. I wish to be I but I is slain, I is gone, I died when it entered this civilisation. Transhumanism is an added eh, sure, it removes the idea of a sacred human body to uphold, but it then merely replaces it with a new thing, so yeah really doesn't transgress enough boundaries.
    • (Book recommendation: Immigration und Integration in Liechtenstein)
  • Nitrism - One of the better? ethnonationalists I've seen. Still absolutely disgusting howeverbeit. Kaczynski's critique of leftism is acceptable; the oversocialised nature of people on the left due to internalised morality is quite a strong argument. I am against the leftists, those being the conformist liberals who don't really do anything but shout for recognition that they are on the non-existent "right side of history". Hghhh I'm bored. You know what, fuck it, let's critique you from a common angle, that'll be fun. Question One. Can't we see nationalism as contributing to a new oversocialisation? The nation's job as a thought machine is to standardise, or "homogenise", the desire, the thoughts, and the behaviours, of those who subscribe to it. The nation acts in this generalising way, similar to the common humanist thought of today, and is...quite similar to the oversocialisation Kaczynski critiques, I would say. Question Two. You speak of testosterone as the primary element that defines masculinity in your paragraph "Masculinity". The glorification of physical strength and courage here - the masculinity you speak so highly of- is merely a surrogate activity. Kaczynski saw highly the pointlessness in the society we currently live in, and here you completley smack him in the ass (despite your claim to love him). The man must engage in masculinity to protect themselves from this existential dread, the man must ritualise the nation as another surrogate activity! Remember what Kaczynski said in Indust:

A surrogate activity is an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that the individual pursues for the sake of the “fulfillment” that he gets from pursuing the goal, not because he needs to attain the goal itself. For instance, there is no practical motive for building enormous muscles, hitting a little ball into a hole or acquiring a complete series of postage stamps. Yet many people in our society devote themselves with passion to bodybuilding, golf or stamp-collecting. Some people are more “other-directed” than others, and therefore will more readily attach importance to a surrogate activity simply because the people around them treat it as important or because society tells them it is important. That is why some people get very serious about essentially trivial activities such as sports, or bridge, or chess, or arcane scholarly pursuits, whereas others who are more clear-sighted never see these things as anything but the surrogate activities that they are, and consequently never attach enough importance to them to satisfy their need for the power process in that way.
