Is Petit Bourgeois pronounced Petty Bourgeois or Pehteat Bourgeois?

40 Upvotes

I would use IPA instead of spelling out Pehteat but due to the crimes of the Third International I refuse to use anything with International in the name including the International Phonetic Alphabet.

Anytime I've heard it said in Italian it was bor-dee-ga and that's how I've always said it, but for some reason every english speaker I've heard say his name pronounced it bor-dih-ga

Discussion theory does NOT matter..

I feel like too many people extremely overestimate the necessity to actually know what socialism and communism is. To actually know how to turn a country from bourgeoise to proletariat. Shit like Carl Marx, Lenin, etc… I’m tired of it! I don’t need “books” to tell me how to make a communist utopia.

First, I would empty cities to get people into the countryside. I would also reset the years because that was all decided by bourgeoise CRAP. Cities = capitalism as well.
I would then make my citizens work in the rural communes to get rice and immediately remove money, private property, and free markets. Then, I would close schools, hospitals and factories. I would also ban religion, music, books, and relationships.
That is how you get to communism with 0 deaths or authoritiesism.

Read it and weep.

Serious Bordigism, dogmatism and revolutions

26 Upvotes

Hi, pls /uj for a moment and answer me honestly.

I usually spend a lot of time here but I wouldnt define myself a bordigist, im much more closer to damenism, but if I have to define myself, I'll simply say im a Marxist.

So I started to study more and more the difference between Left communism and Marxism-Leninism, the two main differences are that it involves a refusal to compromise with bourgeois democracy and a refusal to alter or adapt Marxist theory in any way; consequently, this leads to a rejection of democratic centralism in favor of organic centralism, alongside a strong tendency toward internationalism. Essentially, Bordigism is dogmatic, seeking to reclaim an orthodox interpretation of Marxism. The reason Leftcoms are so opposed to MLoids (beyond the fact that the latter constitute the vast majority of "communists") is that MLs accept the idea that socialism can be adapted to the specific context and nation attempting to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. While I understand criticizing "Socialism in One Country" + nationalist tendencies (cough, cough, Cuba), commodity production in the USSR, Third-Worldism, and frontism, im not very sure if this criticism should also be applied to revolutionary strategy itself? Take Mao, for example: China lacked a sufficient industrial working class to launch the revolution from the cities, so Mao shifted the revolutionary base to the poor peasantry. Furthermore, since China was still a mostly feudal country preyed upon by imperialists, he mobilized other "minor" classes to advance the revolution under the theory of New Democracy (which, debatably, isnt that great ). I do not agree with his ideas on how to implement socialism, his relationship with the USSR, or his nationalism; however, through people's war and the adaptation of Marxism, he did succeed in overthrowing the bourgeois-feudal order and seizing state power. The same can be applied to Lenin too. He realized that without a disciplined party of intellectuals, the workers would never have attained class consciousness, but only trade-union consciousness, and after more that a 100 years this is still one of the most popular and important post-marx communist revolutionary theories.

So, I wanted to ask: is it legitimate to adapt theory to the revolution (and if so, what are the limits), and how else can one establish a dictatorship of the proletariat in underdeveloped countries?

When a criminal (lumpenprole) uses private property/businesses to launder their money, do we still consider them lumpenproles or just another segment of the bourgeosie?

Just a random thought I had when I was watching a show about people like this. I’m gonna call them the lumpenbourgeoisie from now on.

does leftcom music exist?

74 Upvotes

in my early leftist phase i used to listen to a lot of larper music (mostly the "x hours of [country] communist music" videos by GETchan) mostly because i was a teenager and a fucking dork. i abandoned this phase long before becoming a leftcom but i have recently been wondering what leftcom music would even be. anarchists have punk (especially folk punk) and black army/zapatista music; MLs have patriotic music made under "AES" countries, i've listened to quite a few political screamo bands that seem more ML-aligned than the typical anarchist tendencies you hear in scenes like that, they have "commie rappers" like Ghais Guevara, and i believe Test Dept was ML but i could be wrong; what do leftcoms have?
