Reformists are not necessarily bad people, they are merely stuck in a hard world. We live under a world filled with a love for peace, and therefore a hatred of revolutionary tendencies. Reformists are not exactly worshipping or loving the system but instead being forced into appeasing it by a misguided populace. Take [[File:Corbynism-ball.png]] Jeremy Corbyn for example, a reformist who I consider a great man. He wished to achieve [[File:Soc-h.png]] socialism by democratic means and that is a noble goal, it just unfortunately didn't work. The election was rigged and not by the methods you think of, not by stealing votes or armed police forcing us to vote for the Tories, but by the media, by those [[File:Neolib.png]] the establishment is a benefactor of. So, my conclusion is, whilst reform is an ideal which empowers the establishment, reformists are not always establishment drones. | |||

Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing towards what will be.
Welfare is the new opium of the masses.
Epoch Neo-Marxism is the views of Marivistu. They are mostly inspired by Antonio Gramsci on culture,
Vikky Storm on Gender, and
Mark Fisher on Capitalist Realism and the imagination of new realities. It wishes for the use of
counter-culture,
counter-hegemony (called proletarian hegemony) and
ruthless criticism in order to envision a new future away from
capitalist realism and the democracy ruled by
its subscribers and their
friends in the market.
Epoch Neo-Marxism is extremely supportive of technology as it can be used to envision new futures more efficiently and less bound. It also believes technology can help with the
battle for social liberation against an
increasingly conservative media, spread to keep oppression as an accepted norm, which in turn benefits
capitalism, being a system built on oppression.
Other than the influences mentioned above, Epoch Neo-Marxism is also influenced by Paul Gilroy and his works on Postcolonial Theory (specifically
Postcolonial Melancholia) and
Gilles Deleuze and
Félix Guattari's ideas such as deterritorialisation.
Hegemony
The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.
Counter-Hegemony
What can be done to destroy a hegemony? To defeat a hegemony, you must squash it, ensuring it will never come back. Currently the hegemony works through feeding on any moderate divergence ( anti-capitalism is
capitalist) and creating a metaphorical culture box which we all stick to. This culture box includes ideas such as
the love of peace (which rids people of necessary revolutionary fervour),
the veneration of hard work (which is seen in social capitalist movements which want to make the world more about merit) or
the worship and chase of value (the acceptance of money as an alternative to the abolition of the system itself), among other things. What we must do is tread outside of this box and deem
movements which fail to do this as merely servants of the miserable hegemony, the new movement must be
revolutionary,
staunchly against work and
unaccepting of financial appeasement.
Moderation is Oppression
Ruthless Criticism of all that exists
Social Democracy
Social democracy, which demonstrates the left's repressive moderation from anti-capitalism to "new and improved" capitalism, is the embodiment of the hegemony theory that Gramsci believed in where the system currently possesses a monopoly over our culture and thought.
Gender
Gender is an integral social construct of the capitalist system. It is centred around wage labour and has transformed marriages — unions between citizens — into mere labour-centric contracts. Vikky Storm explains this well in her Gender Accelerationist Manifesto. "The male part of reproductive labour was increasingly to labour for a capitalistic boss, and the female part to support his wage labour from home."
Pink Capitalism
Left-Wing Market Anarchists[1]
The cold truth is that a free market would not cause cooperative control of business, no matter how much you dream. The state does not enforce the capitalist social relations because you don't need anything to enforce them anymore. This is because capitalism has already established its hegemony over us and so the slaves will act like slaves because they're now pretty much programmed to. So what will anarcho-capitalism bring? Simple. It will intensify the hierarchical social relations the current capitalist system already has. But first, what are social relations? Social relations are like the way people act determined by their social position, affected by the environment i.e. the ideology someone has developed under. Capitalist social relations are ones of social hierarchy i.e. people at the top and "people" down at the bottom. And, yes, as I have said, Freeing the market does not rid of these capitalist social relations. It simply allows them to run wild. Purchases would be ALL commodities, the definition of a commodity would expand to include humans (any type), weaponry and more. Left-Rothbardian in my opinion would be a failure which would not result in any kind of cooperative market.
The Stolen Future
Varied Reiteration
Why Anti-Capitalism?
Here I present myself a question - what is my motive for anti-capitalism? I believe in anti-capitalism because of the unjust social relations present in capitalism in which the proletarians are given no alternative but to steal their labour and any deviance from this is territorialised to fit a new genre, much like complaints were (e.g. gangster rap is a great example.) These social relations are not just now economic but also cultural, we are bound to them, like a new mental bacteria, limiting our imagination. As Fisher said, it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism. So what is bad about these social relations effecting our mind? Well. It saps away the creativity of the people and leaves them unable to express their opinion. And what if they do express it? It'll be introduced to the system, which feeds on hatred towards itself. So we are stuck in a perpetual loop. And these perpetual loops contain these oppressive constructs which keep the oppressive constructs meaning the oppressive constructs themselves are perpetual. So the main reasons I oppose capitalism are its hegemony on culture which results in effects such as capitalist realism and the oppressive social relations set about by it.
Unjust Social Relations Within Capitalism
Territorialisation of Divergent Media
Commodity Fetishism
How Anti-Capitalism?
Deterritorialisation
The deleuzoguattarianism idea of deterritorialisationism greatly interests me. It was set out in the two's collaborative work named A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia and speaks about the opposite of territorialisation, which the market-centric society were engage in daily uses as we engage with it, whether we engage in an agreed way, a negotiated way or even a way of outright rejection. Our society grabs its enemy's weapon. So what is deterritorialisation? It is the process in which already established structures which we could consider universal such as gender are destabilised or undergo an incredible transformation, resulting in it becoming divergent from capitalism. This is the cultural way of fighting against the post-neoliberal system we live in, including capitalist realism.
How does deterritorialisation link to capitalist realism though? Well capitalism realism is currently the result of extreme territorialisation, where alternatives are not murderered, as that would be violent and the neoliberal system must make itself appear peaceful, but instead these alternatives are territorialised, meaning they become part of the system. An example of this is gangster rap whose messages of "fuck the police" have now become mere slogans to print on a t-shirt or coffee mug and any real sentiment of it is assumed to be part of that genre.
Postcolonial Melancholia
On Reformists
Reformists are not necessarily bad people, they are merely stuck in a hard world. We live under a world filled with a love for peace, and therefore a hatred of revolutionary tendencies. Reformists are not exactly worshipping or loving the system but instead being forced into appeasing it by a misguided populace. Take Jeremy Corbyn for example, a reformist who I consider a great man. He wished to achieve
socialism by democratic means and that is a noble goal, it just unfortunately didn't work. The election was rigged and not by the methods you think of, not by stealing votes or armed police forcing us to vote for the Tories, but by the media, by those
the establishment is a benefactor of. So, my conclusion is, whilst reform is an ideal which empowers the establishment, reformists are not always establishment drones.
Relations
Žemerald
For the few flawless (or nearly so) ideologies.
Žem
For the ideologies which glisten brightly in the sea of shit.
Rocksism - Your views are definitely good, synthesis anarchy is a noble goal which aims to bring about a unified anarchist idea, which certainly would be useful when trying to abolish the state. I see you have
Capitalist Realism on your Want to Read section, I would definitely recommend it, it's very great. I like your decommodification of products idea, that is a breaking down of a feature of utmost importance to capital. While I don't believe in communization personally, I do think it is a good ideal. (You should totally abolish gender though for the truest individual freedom.)
Neo-Leninism - Reading your page, your beliefs are definitely not too bad, I love your ruthless critique of social democracy and I totally agree with you that capitalism is working as intended and any attempt to fix it is anti-communist bullshit which does not even attempt to break out of the hegemony capital has over our very minds, our media, everything in the goddamn fucking world. I agree with you that many Democratic Socialism supporters have no idea what socialism means, I mean just...ask an average self-proclaimed socialist who votes socialist parties, they'll likely say its just "more wages" or something. Your dislike of party dictatorship is great, fuck yeah and council communism is a very good system. I like your revolutionary stance as well. Yeah, overall, you're rather great comrade.
Ruby
For the fairly good ideologies.
Iron
For the middling ideologies.
Rust
For the bad, but not repulsive ideologies.
Wegiel
For the repulsive ideologies.
Brimstone
For the purely evil ideologies.
Brazilian Liberalism - As an enforcer of the cultural hegemony which Gramsci told of and a subscriber to capitalist realism, you are everything I am against. You also have now become a monarchist and a monarch, no matter how constitutional they are, is a symbol of the oppression of proletariats and its effect of "unifying the nation" only spreads two ideas: we "need" a monarch to be together and the monarch is our protector. Your economics are disgusting as well, the ultimate tools of pacification of man, designed to stop the poor from eating the rich, like all neoliberal or third way scum. You claim to be Culturally Center-Left and this is an example of moderation which I despise. Overall, you are simply despicable and your kind of thought needs to be countered with new thinking.
