Heredism is the self-insert of HeredyBall. It is can be summarized as Neo-Marxist, civically Authoritarian (towards capitalists ), culturally Revolutionary Progressist with a mix of Vanguardist and Left-Illegalist praxis.

I'm heavily studying ideologies/economics/politics so expect many changes.

This page is especially useful for me in order to manage my thoughts, by listing the books I read (later criticize them) and by writting all kind of stuff. You can, this way, see my progression here. Enjoy !

Past and Current Economy

WIP

On the origin of private property

Sidenote : We won't talk about Mercantilism and older economical systems.

Market forces are the fundamental dynamics that govern the supply and demand of goods and services within an economy. These forces include factors like competition, consumer preferences, technological advancements, and government regulations. In a free-market system, prices are determined by these forces, influencing the allocation of resources.

In a capitalist structure, power dynamics are shaped by the ownership and control of the means of production.

The bourgeoisie, as owners of capital and productive resources, control the economic forces that drive society. This ownership allows them to accumulate wealth and exert influence over the production and distribution of goods and services. They are in possession of tools that is lend to the working class in order to make money in exchange of a wage.

The bourgoisie, as employers, extract surplus value from the labor of the working class. This exploitation contributes to the accumulation of capital and the perpetuation of class distinctions.

The concept of private property, central to capitalist structures, empowers the bourgeoisie to accumulate and pass down wealth through generations. This concentration of property contributes to the perpetuation of social and economic inequalities.

These concepts are the economical structure of capitalism, called the base. The economic base is foundational, shaping and influencing the development of the superstructure.

The superstructure is the influence of the bourgoisie to all non-economic institutions such as government, media, and education. Through lobbying, campaign financing, and other mechanisms, they shape policies that often favor their economic interests, contributing to the maintenance of their power.

This also create an ideological hegemony where the ruling class shapes perceptions and acceptance of the existing economic system. File:SlaveEconomy.png Exploitation is now seen as a norm because education and cultural values emphatize on hard work, loyalty to employers, and the acceptance of authority.

This base and superstructure model is however not complete, as they can't fully explain all of society. There are other forms of oppression of social categories such as race, gender, and sexuality. Because of that, the base-superstructure model is not determinist.

Evolution of Capitalism

As capitalism evolved, corporations emerged as powerful entities, leading to the rise of corporatocracy. Large corporations began to exert significant influence over economic and political spheres, shaping policies to favor their interests, causing exploitation of resources and cheap labor in other regions contributes to the perpetuation of global economic inequalities and environmental degradation.

File:Oligopoly.png Oligopolistic structures often emerge as a result of mergers, acquisitions, and the global expansion of corporations seeking to dominate markets on an international scale. This leads to less competition, less innovation and more stable prices in order to avoid price wars that could erode their profits.

What is Liberty ?

TL;DR About the different approaches you can have on liberty, and how I view it.

Deconstruct Marx...

TL;DR The goal is to understand the class struggle appart from any spacio-temporal point of view, purifying it.

...While Staying Concrete

TL;DR I believe there are sociological reasons that hold us from insurrection, and the consequences of it don't seems it would work. This is the part where I want to study the most and where it will certainly change a lot.

Why I Call Myself Ultraprogressive ?

TL;DR Replacement of old values that slows the revolution.

Personality

Like his creator HeredyBall, Heredism love to read other political ideas. He's not a fan of post-leftists, anarchists and egoists unless they have common sense. He love Monster Drinks, talking about random stuff, going to the gym and focusing on a thing (a game or a book for example) until it's fully done.

Favorite Quotes

"It comes from an order of men whose interest is never exactly the same with that of the public, who have generally an interest to deceive and even oppress the public."

Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations p.232

"Private property has made us so stupid and one-sided that an object is only ours when we have it – when it exists for us as capital, or when it is directly possessed, eaten, drunk, worn, inhabited, etc., – in short, when it is used by us. Although private property itself again conceives all these direct realisations of possession only as means of life, and the life which they serve as means is the life of private property – labour and conversion into capital."

Karl Marx, Manuscripts of 1844, Third Manuscript

"In order to abolish the idea of private property, the idea of communism is quite sufficient. It takes actual communist action to abolish actual private property. History will lead to it; and this movement, which in theory we already know to be a self-transcending movement, will constitute in actual fact a very rough and protracted process. But we must regard it as a real advance to have at the outset gained a consciousness of the limited character as well as of the goal of this historical movement – and a consciousness which reaches out beyond it."

Karl Marx, Manuscripts of 1844, Third Manuscript

"They know that property, capital, money, wage-labour and the like are no ideal figments of the brain but very practical, very objective products of their self-estrangement and that therefore they must be abolished in a practical, objective way for man to become man not only in thinking, in consciousness, but in mass being, in life."

Karl Marx, The Holy Family, Chapter IV

"For the orthodox theologian the whole world is dissolved in “religion and theology”. (He could just as well dissolve it in politics, political economy, etc., and call theology heavenly political economy, for example, since it is the theory of the production, distribution, exchange and consumption of “spiritual wealth” and of the treasures of heaven!)"

Karl Marx, The Holy Family, Chapter VI

"All the contradictions in the political essence expounded by Herr Bauer in Die Judenfrage are of this kind — contradictions of constitutionalism, which is, in general, the contradiction between the modern representative state and the old state of privileges."

Karl Marx, The Holy Family, Chapter VI

"The people is communistic, and, as a matter of fact, split into a multitude of different groups; the true movement and the elaboration of these different social shades is not only not exhausted, it is really only beginning. But it will not end in pure, i.e., abstract, theory as Critical Criticism would like it to; it will end in a quite practical practice that will not bother at all about the categorical categories of Criticism."

Karl Marx, The Holy Family, Chapter VII

"“Liberation” is an historical and not a mental act, and it is brought about by historical conditions, the development of industry, commerce, agriculture, the conditions of intercourse..."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. B. The Illusion of the Epoch

"It is evident that big industry does not reach the same level of development in all districts of a country. This does not, however, retard the class movement of the proletariat, because the proletarians created by big industry assume leadership of this movement and carry the whole mass along with them, and because the workers excluded from big industry are placed by it in a still worse situation than the workers in big industry itself."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. C. The Real Basis of Ideology

"To this modern private property corresponds the modern State, which, purchased gradually by the owners of property by means of taxation, has fallen entirely into their hands through the national debt, and its existence has become wholly dependent on the commercial credit which the owners of property, the bourgeois, extend to it, as reflected in the rise and fall of State funds on the stock exchange."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. C. The Real Basis of Ideology

"Thus, while the refugee serfs only wished to be free to develop and assert those conditions of existence which were already there, and hence, in the end, only arrived at free labour, the proletarians, if they are to assert themselves as individuals, will have to abolish the very condition of their existence hitherto (which has, moreover, been that of all society up to the present), namely, labour. Thus they find themselves directly opposed to the form in which, hitherto, the individuals, of which society consists, have given themselves collective expression, that is, the State. In order, therefore, to assert themselves as individuals, they must overthrow the State."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. D. Proletarians and Communism

"Communism differs from all previous movements in that it overturns the basis of all earlier relations of production and intercourse, and for the first time consciously treats all natural premises as the creatures of hitherto existing men, strips them of their natural character and subjugates them to the power of the united individuals."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. D. Proletarians and Communism

"Thus things have now come to such a pass that the individuals must appropriate the existing totality of productive forces, not only to achieve self-activity, but, also, merely to safeguard their very existence."

Karl Marx, The German Ideology, Part I: Feuerbach. Opposition of the Materialist and Idealist Outlook. D. Proletarians and Communism

"The landowner has nothing with which to reproach the merchant. He practices robbery in monopolising the land. He practices robbery in exploiting for his own benefit the increase in population which increases competition and thus the value of his estate; in turning into a source of personal advantage that which has not been his own doing – that which is his by sheer accident. He practices robbery in leasing his land, when he eventually seizes for himself the improvements effected by his tenant. This is the secret of the ever-increasing wealth of the big landowners."

Friedrich Engels, Outlines of a Critic of Political Economy

"It is in the interest of each to possess everything, but in the interest of the whole that each possess an equal amount. Thus, the general and the individual interest are diametrically opposed to each other."

Friedrich Engels, Outlines of a Critic of Political Economy

"The economist comes along with his lovely theory of demand and supply, proves to you that “one can never produce too much,” and practice replies with trade crises, which reappear as regularly as the comets, and of which we have now on the average one every five to seven years."

Friedrich Engels, Outlines of a Critic of Political Economy

"The economist now says, however, that in its final result machinery is favourable to the workers, since it makes production cheaper and thereby creates a new and larger market for its products, and thus ultimately reemploys the workers put out of work. Quite right. But is the economist forgetting, then, that the production of labour-power is regulated by competition; that labour-power is always pressing on the means of employment, and that, therefore, when these advantages are due to become operative, a surplus of competitors for work is already waiting for them, and will thus render these advantages illusory; whilst the disadvantages – the sudden withdrawal of the means of subsistence from one half of the workers and the fall in wages for the other half – are not illusory? Is the economist forgetting that the progress of invention never stands still, and that these disadvantages, therefore, perpetuate themselves? Is he forgetting that with the division of labour, developed to such a high degree by our civilisation, a worker can only live if he can be used at this particular machine for this particular detailed operation; that the change-over from one type of employment to another, newer type is almost invariably an absolute impossibility for the adult worker?"

Friedrich Engels, Outlines of a Critic of Political Economy

" Here the false economic dogma: the circulation of commodities involves a necessary equilibrium of purchases and sales, because every purchase is also a sale, and vice versa — which is to say, that every seller also brings his buyer to market with him.

(1) Purchase and sale are, on the one hand, an identical act of two polarly opposite persons (poles are the two ends of the axis of a sphere); on the other hand, they are two polarly opposite acts of one and the same person. Hence, the identity of purchases and sale implies that the commodity is useless unless it is sold, and likewise that this case can occur.

(2) C - M, as a partial process, is similarly an independent process and implies that the acquirer of money can choose the time when he again converts this money into a commodity. He can wait.

The inner unity of the independent processes C - M and M - C moves in external antitheses precisely because of the independence of these processes; and when these dependent processes reach a certain limit of independence, their unity asserts itself in a crisis. Hence, the possibility of the latter is already given here. "
