(///)
Eleutherianism is a 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 the creative nothing due to its destruction of the capitalist mode of production which has a pervasive atmosphere which is at conflict with this liberation. Eleutherianism does not have an idea of organisation yet, most notably because it has not read enough.
Summary (WIP)
- 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.
- In capitalist societies, the ontology of the general populous is 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.
- 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.
- Marxism is an ever-developing doctrine; falling to religious-like dogma would be one of the worst mistakes.
- Communism is the only way for us to realise the creative nothing, for it shall end the pervasive atmosphere of post-Fordist capitalism, 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.
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.)
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.
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.
The Ineffectiveness of Democracy
Capitalist Society and its Future
Business Ontology
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.
Clearing up Misunderstandings
Communism and Egoism
Incompatibility between Egoism and Post-Fordist Capitalism
Commodification
Opinions
- Schaberism (///) - 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.
- Venatrixism (///) - 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 .) 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.
- Juche - The natural conclusion of Bolshevism in an age of globalization. It survives, but is it a dictatorship of the proletariat?
- Distributist Reactionaryism - 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.
- Ludwigism - Very generic paleolibertarian. Libertarians need to realise capitalism's pervasive atmosphere, and mass commodification which make capital a totalizing force. Your racial nationalism is also disgusting. Also how are you laissez-faire but want taxes against monopolisation? Surely one of the foundational principles of the Austrian School is the belief that monopolies emerge from this intervention in the first place? Maybe I'm misunderstanding...
- G-Man Toiletism - Deranged, submissive, horrible.
- Reformism - What is protest but mere merchandise?
