Leftist Infighting: A community dedicated to allowing leftists to vent their frustrations

1283 readers

The purpose of this community is sort of a "work out your frustrations by letting it all out" where different leftist tendencies can vent their frustrations with one another and more assertively and directly challenge one another. Hostility is allowed, but any racist, fascist, or reactionary crap wont be tolerated, nor will explicit threats.

This will probably be one of Rainer's most controversial articles to date.

Would be better if he made more explicit what the alternative to this "anti-colonial" liberal trend was. I can see his practical argument but I also still don't know if the settler proletariat will not be in contradiction with the colonized proletariat yet.

I still think that, unfortunately, class-consciousness will be low in the imperial core as long as imperialist extraction allow workers to consider themselves lucky. Solidarity between the two sides of the international proletariat is materially sacrificial, it's hard to imagine building a movement on sacrifice

it’s hard to imagine building a movement on sacrifice

Especially when we are so alienated from each other and put in competition with each other through market forces.

It won't be sacrificial once BRICS finishes their assault on the petrodollar as world currency and the trillions in debt become due. We cannot do all ourselves and thankfully we do not have to.
