only you can only do it while you're
listening to me okay
second of all listen Okay
you I told y'all to do 40 push-ups I
gave you hours too I gave you two hours
to fucking do that okay no excuses no
excuses I'm sick of the low energy I'm
sick of the low energy needs to be high
energy high energy high energy constant
persistent motivation okay
we're gonna be doing a Theory stream
tonight we're gonna also be covering
some news where not only do we introduce
Theory stream we're gonna be also
covering the DeSantis interview we're
going to be watching some other stuff
we're gonna be watching the Trump speech
ah
okay everybody everybody just just calm
down home down get into the energy get
into the mood a bit all right we're
gonna be doing a late night stream
foreign
thing I'm sorry guys but holy fuck we
have a lot of
guys who who are the people who donated
memberships
uh tactile did 50.
and then William was it William who's

William I I saw five go by not sure
not sure exactly listen
okay
I just got into a fight with Nadia
I accidentally let one rip
is here she was getting my protein and
stuff giant one I let it rip we've been
fighting for 30 minutes about it that's
the truth okay you guys want to know why
I was late that's why
that's why okay
been a long fight

backtrack I saw that original 10. thank
you so much for the 10 Nation appreciate
you so much backtrack appreciate you all
right and this is why there was a fight
because it wasn't like I did not

super disrespectful
um and I'm I'm just not used to having
to hold in my parts for anyone but you
know that's hot that's life that's life
so y'all want to know why this shit's
been late y'all heard why it's late okay
y'all heard why it's like all right
anyway
we have an excellent Theory stream today
we have an excellent stream coming up
for you guys today it's gonna be a lit
as fuck stream and then we might top it
all off at the very end
depending on the energy level that I
detect in the chat with some ultimate
epic battle simulator doing that crazy
shit we were doing live thank you so
much backtrack
we're off to a good start today
I'm on that Mr Krabs grind set you see
I'm a greedy grifter
and I'm just I'm just like yeah there's
a lot of money to be made in this
streaming business give me money give me
money so listen
aside from the Mr Crab stuff aside from
Mr Crab stuff we actually have some
important theory that I want to talk
about and I want to discuss with you
guys
because first and foremost
I think I'm gonna just be in this right
now I'm not going to install any further
listen you know
we are witnessing events unfold and this
is fucking crazy right I should be like
a 50 viewer 50 000 viewers streamer
right now
with the recent meeting and landing of
China in Russia Xi Jinping meeting with
Putin
with the further consolidation and Rise
of the multipolar world I'm taken back
to when I did my first infrared streams
in early 2021 where we were seriously
discussing multi-polarity we were saying
Russia and China
are seriously challenging the unipolar
world order and we're entering into a
new era of multi-polarity and I had so
many fucking leftists in my chat
you know I don't want to name names but
I remember one guy from Germany who was
like so oh my God what do you mean you
mean Putin is actually fighting against
America no he's not
and there was so much like pushback from
with this angle we were coming from of
Marxism leninism in the age of
multi-polarity on the post-covered world
right so I feel like I should take this
opportunity as we're witnessing the
unprecedented consolidation of
multipolarity
a year after the special military
operation and you know within the few
weeks of President Xi Jinping
beating with Vladimir Putin
and and now everyone can see it's
happening right so how did we get here
and why is Marxism and Marxism leninism
in particular in the western context at
least
lagged so far behind
now before I have any further Ado guys I
gotta blow my nose
oh fuck's sake okay
looks like all right we're good so I
want to kind of take this as a throwback
going to the very beginning and I want
to start talking about infrared's unique
Theory and understanding of
multipolarity because believe it or not
guys as I've said multiple times before
infrared has been consistent from day
one we've never changed our views on
anything so far we have been pretty much
entirely consistent about what we're
about where we're coming from every
single controversy we've been embroiled
in and everything that makes us
contentious and controversial from
the whole uh culture politics thing to
the Maga communism thing all stems from
our unique understanding of Marxism
leninism in the age of multi-polarity
and the post-covered world now that one
we're not going to talk about that much
today because it's not really a main
item of today's discussion but
multi-polarity has a deeper significance
than most people understand so I want to
start this by pointing out some common
misconceptions about what multi-polarity
is about
cybernetics you want to come on to
debate feel free
get in show q and you can debate
getting show Q in the Discord and you
can debate gladly
I will debate I will debate you on this
topic right now no problem okay
now
um
a lot of people confuse multi-polarity
for simply the diffusion of power
the idea that instead of one hegemon
ruling there's multiple competing
hegemons a lot of people like to compare
multipolarity to the situation of the
world wars right the first world war the
second world war or even the competition
between the various European Empires and
the gunpowder age or Beyond
that is not what multi-polarity is
multi-polarity goes much deeper than
that to understand what multi-polarity
is you have to understand what a
polarity is polarities don't simply
refer at least in my understanding
of what distinguishes the current ERA
from past eras to centers of power
a handful of European countries
competing over the world doesn't
constitute multi-polarity it perhaps
constitutes for various Powers competing
for the mantle of a single polarity
but these are not different polarities
in and of themselves and in their own
right
to me
and within my understanding I'm
extremely congested right now guys so
you have to forgive me in my
understanding into my estimation
I'm so sorry guys I'm so fucking
congested you wouldn't believe
anyway
multi-polarity rather refers to
a more of a kind of uh in the same sense
that you're talking about the for
example magnetic polarities right
polarities that are created
um
in the sense even in the physical sense
of magnetism right so for example if you
if you believe in the traditional model
of the globe it doesn't matter if it's
real or not I'm not here to offend the
flat earthers
but if you believe in that
just as an abstract thought experiment
the idea is that under the Earth's crust
there are convection currents occurring
below the Earth's crust in the uh the
Earth's mantle
I get that correctly right
and those convection currents uh produce
a magnetic polarity between for example
North and South
and
to me polarity is about the way in which
the convection currents of civilization
are producing these
civilizational polarities right these
orientations polarity doesn't
necessarily refer to a center or I mean
maybe it refers to a center but it
doesn't necessarily refer to a state
it doesn't necessarily refer to a
country it doesn't necessarily refer to
a great power even a lot of the times in
my view a polarity can refer to a power
that has not yet asserted itself on the
political level
I think turkey might be a good example
of this I think it's very clear in the
Middle East there's some kind of post
ottoman polarity that has not really
been successfully given political form
right in some kind of great power or a
great Empire right so I want to broaden
the understanding of polarity in a
somewhat unconventional way
by taking polarity to mean something
deeper than just power it's not just
power it's not just geopolitical
hegemony
it can it's also that but it's not just
that polarity is referring to some
deeper Force right
some deeper compulsion or influence that
is higher than the politics of the
nation-state exerted by the organic
process of the reproduction of definite
civilization and civilizational spheres
so the reproduction process is clear
from Marxism right Marxism is talking
about modes of production
you know how social communities how
human communities reproduce themselves
materially
through these different relationships to
some overall process of social
production
and my view
which is coming from a Marxist lens and
a Marxist angle by the way if it wasn't
already obvious
is simply that polarity
um refers to not only the traditional
Marxist mode of production
which usually was only taken in the
sense of some kind of specific
technological Paradigm right is
something very unique to English
industrial capitalism
which served as the ultimate point of
reference for understanding all previous
modes of production right
to me
polarities
go beyond modes of production
in the narrow classical Marxist sense of
the word
by also referring to the ways in which
norms for example are reproduced
um culture gets reproduced Traditions
are reproduced that's why infrared seems
like it's so right wing when it comes to
cultural politics
because we don't just view things like
for example traditional gender relations
as arbitrary constructs
created for the purposes of Oppression
we think that there are Unwritten mores
unspoken rules of social intercourse
that are not reducible to some kind of
ideology or some kind of design or some
kind of Oppression but refer to some
deeper civilizational reality that's why
infrared seems so reactionary and
conservative because we're not on board
with the left's agenda or the left's
agenda you should call it
which is doing something pretty
psychotic which is trying to reduce all
of our spontaneous natural social
relations or sorry cultural relations to
some kind of Nefarious Ideology Now
Lenin by the way I think implicitly
agrees with me I think Marxist leninist
never took the time to address this but
I think they always took it for granted
I'll give you some evidence for that
Lenin in his State and Revolution said
that one the state dissolves and there's
going to be a withering way of the state
and the state will no longer be
necessary anymore
how will rules be enforced and he uses
the example of well if you a woman is
being attacked on the street obviously
people on the street are going to
intervene to to help the Woman based on
just basic Norms of civilization
Lenin was referring to the deeper Moors
and deeper Norms of civilization that go
beyond politics Beyond ideology and
Beyond
the state pers proper beyond the modern
State Beyond modern relations things
that are just deeper that were never
questioned or taken for granted if you
study Soviet culture
it's very clear they have an
understanding and a respect for that
kind of reality Soviet literary figures
even the Soviet state constantly makes
reference to the culture and norms and
traditions of the Soviet people in a way
that you you know makes it seem like
they're just natural and just should be
taken for granted completely
right
you know
um
the fact that women uh you know
for example
have longer hair
than men do
was not something that Soviet uh you
know
leaders were calling into question and
saying oh my God this is the result of
patriarchy I mean there is an
understanding there were cultural mores
and Norms that were deeper
than politics right these are the deeper
norms and mores of civilization
there are examples of Communists trying
to intervene at the level of culture to
make it more communistic of course there
are
but
the success or failure of that probably
depended on how much it reflected
again how much it was commensurate with
a deeper reality of the people that
could not in fact be controlled could
not in fact be completely decided and
determining this culminates in the
cultural revolution in China
where on the one hand you have in the
cities
this attempt to completely recreate
every aspect of humanity from scratch to
conform with the Revolutionary ideology
which was obviously a disastrous failure
on the other hand in the countryside a
different thing was going on where
on the one hand they were taking the you
know traditional modern Revolution thank
you Psy op shorty traditional Chinese
relations for granted
while using and seizing upon the
cultural revolution as an opportunity to
create
peasant-based forms of political power
right so it was a completely opposite
kind of thing if you want to understand
more of that watch our video on it the
unknown cultural revolution
there's also an um a book written by
dong ping Han
so anyway
um by the way a lot of people will say
okay but Haas weren't there a lot of
other cultural practices but thank you
so much ben I appreciate you are you
referring to the ecological theory of
modes of reproduction how does the
Marxist leninist view of ecology differ
from the eco-feminist one thank you so
much Bernard it is it is ecological in a
sense now ecology was originally a
branch of cybernetics
ecology is not it sounds like a horrific
ugly disgusting word and it is because
of how it's used today but ecology comes
from the root word Oikos which was
referring to these Greek units of
household subsistence in the Greek
domestic household economy the Oikos the
way of reproduction the way of living
and cybernetics which is dealing with
systems and how systems can be
reproduced and how you know
um all the stuff about feedback loops
and how you know instead of just dealing
with
variables where you just have like okay
X variable versus Y and you just create
this
um
uh static binary opposition cybernetics
did with cybernetics
brought to the table was being able to
formally
conceive of how these oppositions could
be reproduced right
that's where all the algorithm stuff and
the AI stuff that's going on I mean it
all comes down comes back to cybernetics
so ecology which you is usually
associated with some kind of like
primitive environmentalism actually is a
branch of cybernetics which is also
associated with the most advanced
technology of humanity right which is
the information age or the computer age
so yes it is a it is a kind of
ecological view except my understanding
doesn't reduce ecology to some narrow
sphere of for example natural
reproduction outside of humanity and
outside of the social realm it also
isn't concerned with purely the domestic
household economy that the feminists are
concerned with
um because in the case of feminists it's
not really an ecological view it's it's
still this kind of pre-ecological theory
of
um domination and hierarchy which they
just try to kind of flesh out with
kind of hard to think right
with ecology but yeah more or less I can
get to how it's different in a moment I
just want to flesh out
wear this whole thing about Marxism
leninism in the age of multipolarities
coming from why that has gotten us into
hot water with the American left and how
you need to have a new understanding of
Marxism leninism can't just refer
blindly to the old texts of the past
which which never had to deal with this
issue because they always took a great
rest thanks so much meaningful future
U.S multi-polar strategy should embrace
a Pan-American sphere of influence from
Anchorage to Buenos Aires I agree I
disagree
um now I can explain why I disagree
in a moment uh because multi-polarity is
not just about geography it's about
definite relations and bonds of
civilization
there probably will be multiple polls
that Encompass the Americas because
they're all called the Americas doesn't
mean you can just amalgamate
every state on this continent into one
kind of polar sphere right
I mean I go so as far as to say is
there's clearly a different poll in
Central America than the one that exists
for example around Peru right so
with the Incan Empire and stuff so I I
would not be Reckless when it comes to
applying the theory of multi-polarity I
am not a big fan of pan-americanism
General very skeptical of it but thank
you so much for the five though I
appreciate it
but okay so to continue what I was
saying
continue what I was saying a lot of
people will try to call what I say into
question by saying well Haas didn't
Communists eliminate a lot of
traditional practices like foot binding
and other things that were simply taken
for granted and so that I would say you
don't understand how norms and cultural
mores worked the more or the cultural
norm is not necessarily about his or
that practice
by the time for example foot binding
becomes contentious it could no longer
be meaningfully understood as a you know
unconscious cultural more maybe it
served that purpose at a previous state
but when it acquires this new
significance amidst modernity where
people are like okay it's kind of stupid
that we're doing this to our feet
pointless the meaning that used to
inherent it is gone right so before in
the past foot binding may have contained
some
deep substantial unconscious meaning or
Chinese civilization but after the you
know the Modern Age
um where the Chinese for example are
taking a Critical examination at their
own civilization
that meaning is no longer bounded up in
that practice right
the practice ceases to be a necessary
medium for the reproduction of Chinese
civilization it doesn't mean Chinese
civilization gets eliminated it doesn't
mean the norms and culture and
traditions of Chinese civilization are
gone on the contrary the essence of
tradition gets to survive in a more
fundamental way because the foot binding
practice just as uses as an example no
longer becomes an essential medium
for the reproduction of the Chinese
traditional Civilization now what is
traditional civilization is it reducible
to every single specific practice that
exists across history no
I would say that I would try to Define
civilizational traditions
as
nothing more than the unconscious
relations
of association between people thank you
so much emila appreciate you you can my
teacher I hope you have a conversation
with him dug in base I I am I hope so as
well I've been trying to uh arrange that
for a long time and I'll I'll uh try
again one day but um yeah I I would love
to speak to Dugan I'm
someone who I have been openly very
inside
never been a secret
obviously
um anyway
continue what I was saying
uh
the unconscious what matters about
civilization is that it's unconscious
not that it establishes some kind of
unbroken relationship to the Past
obviously the Norms of civilization do
change but what doesn't change is
how civilization comes to be defined
by
the ability to reproduce a difference
between for example
the products of conscious thinking and
things that are unspoken and unconscious
it's not it doesn't matter necessarily
the content of civilization as much as
it matters the form
the content can always change of course
but the form doesn't change the form
meaning the fact of some kind of
implicitly and unconsciously recognized
way in which human beings associate with
one another and why we talk about one
Chinese civilization across history
despite all the various changes is
because
we are talking about the evolution of a
historically defined Community a
specific historically defined community
which can change of course but the way
in which it changes is part of the
history and that's what matters
that's the important thing about
civilization
civilization doesn't mean thank you so
much Sartorius appreciate you
civilization doesn't mean
that every single practice becomes
arbitrarily defended in the name of
historical
based tradition thank you so much about
how we should get a new understand of
Marxism leninism rather than focusing on
Old Marxist leninist texts all the time
is based yes and the reason you have to
do that is because the old Marxist
leniness did not write anything about
the new scenario we're facing today they
wrote nothing about it now it's
important to familiarize yourself with
the Canon of Marxism leninism to
understand how they responded to their
historical situation and derived from
there a logos a Marxist landiness logos
right but
there is no precedent for the
application of that logos to this era
today in 2023
so we are at a unique moment of
multi-polarity which no Marxist leninist
thinkers have ever written anything
about World War one was not a
multi-polar era World War II was not a
multi-polar era Lenin's theory of
imperialism didn't describe
multipolarity it described a handful of
European countries that were competing
for the mantle of a future polarity
there was not even any real polarity to
speak of
maybe until let's say the 1960s right
so
that's the important thing to recognize
and understand
so to continue
um
by the way we're gonna be doing the
patreon Q a sometime in the next few
days
uh
our reactionary politics quote unquote
and
the accusation I'm kind of repeating
things I've talked about before it's
just we recognize okay this is this is
uh what I want to speak to
so if we recognize that civilizations
can change and are clearly not Eternal
why are we so critical of leftist
progressivism why are we so critical of
all the progressive changes that are
occurring to eliminate these or that
norms and rules and so on and so forth
I'll tell you why
in the case of things like foot binding
you were talking about a specific form
of the physiological mutilation of women
right
and in the case of the destruction of
relations of domination and bondage and
slavery you're talking about
practices which infringed upon the basic
minimal modern freedoms of human beings
but in today's era leftists and liberal
progressivism doesn't actually concern
itself with
the conditions of the liberation of any
modern subject it's not like they're
saying yes we want to get rid of this
practice that is constraining people's
um ability to exercise
uh their freedom within the the modern
sense of the word
it's not like they're saying for example
we want to eliminate this
oppression
uh of people over other people
that is arbitrary and is a
obstacle
the people's ability to be the subject
of some Modern Universal State we
already have a modern Universal State we
already have the freedoms of modernity
and we already have a a full
the final actually I would say
consolidation of the modern subject
today's left Liberals are concerned with
imposing new norms and new regulations
governing the interactions between human
beings that are no longer about
eliminating old ones that stood in the
way of the Liberties of the modern
subject but imposing new constraints
on the basis of this idea that our
unconscious and Unwritten mores are
themselves
forms of Oppression
the very fact of them being Unwritten
and unconscious somehow makes them the
nefarious result of some kind of
Oppression or some kind of patriarchy or
something like that that is why we
reject the progressivism
it's not a form of modern progress
it's a form of the imposition of some
kind of like post-modern arbitrary
false and artificial Norms purely
contrived on a conscious basis which
have no concern or regard for how
relations between people actually
develop in the organic sense of the word
a good example of this is the pronoun
thing I know it seems Petty and kind of
um silly to base one's entire politics
or stance around something like that but
I'm just going to use it as an example
here right the whole thing about
pronouns
Okay so
thank you so much Patriot when it comes
to bolivarianism is this idea slash
movement distinct from pan-americanism
because it is specific to the context of
the Hispanic Caribbean Pole
polavarianism is clearly different from
an americanism include Canada
um
but I think let's before we get excited
about finding different polls let's get
more clarity on what a poll actually is
because not a lot of people understand
that a lot of people are quick to assume
again that a poll is just referring some
aggregation of power just some kind of
regional power at just some kind of big
Power right and that's not what a poll
is a poll needs to be more carefully and
understood and more precisely understand
give me a moment because my Noise Gate
is fucking disgusting right now
okay
all right
I got rid of that stupid Noise Gate now
I could talk better without having to uh
worry about not being heard okay
so
the whole pronoun thing right
clearly that's different than
getting rid of foot binding practice
foot binding for example was a form of
the physiological mutilation of women
okay
whereas pronouns are forcing people to
uh
disclose their pronouns before meeting
them is a completely artificial and
arbitrary new norm and new practice
that is
it's like wanting your cake and wanting
to the two you're fantasizing about this
existing as a social Norm it doesn't
actually exist as a real organic social
Norm it's something purely artificially
contrived
on the conscious level
that is supposed to Signal some kind of
um
some kind of uh
political loyalty it's a completely
contrived arbitrary practice it would be
the it's like the equivalent of trying
to create a new foot binding practice
and imposing it on people right
so that's the problem I have and we have
with the liberal left progressivism of
the current day it's not the same thing
as the progressivism of the Communists
in the 20th century it's a type of
progressivism that is trying to invent
civilization from scratch
in a way that just doesn't work it
functionally doesn't work marxistent
Communists never tried to create
civilization from scratch on a conscious
and contrived basis
and if you're going to do that by the
way you may as well go so far as the
Soviet and Russian avant-garde which did
actually try to kind of do that and
really mean it like they were think like
let's completely create a new man from
scratch from a pure zero if you do that
at least the result will be interesting
but what you have today with the liberal
left is this confused attempt to
selectively decide
which Norms are going to be completely
invented from scratch and which ones are
going to be overturned not on the basis
of any responsible or Earnest attempt to
experiment with what it's like to create
a new man as in the case of the Soviet
avant-garde
but in an opportunistic way that when
you actually analyze it ends up
mutilating and decapitating
the masculine component of the
proletariat the masculine ability to
Rebel the masculine ability to question
authority
and to challenge the ruling Elites and
the ruling power that be
they will never go so far as to do what
the Soviet avant-garde did they're only
going to kind of
blackmail us with an alleged arbitrary
it's like it's like an arbitrary
cultural dictatorship
they're basically saying okay all of our
cultural norms are completely arbitrary
they're completely bullshit
but on the other hand they want to pick
and choose which ones they're going to
overthrow
denounce as oppressive oppressed sorry
oppressive
now if you go so far in Academia
you end up getting people who say things
like math is an oppressive Colonial
construct
and they will go so far as to literally
say every single thing you can think of
about humanity is some arbitrary result
of Oppression
the problem with this is that you're not
even getting any coherent notion of new
man you're not getting a coherent notion
of a new Humanity
you're getting a
preservation of the Bourgeois form of
humanity
that merely makes various arbitrary
improvisions it's almost as if we live
in a liberal democracy
that wants to constantly make arbitrary
emergency dictatorial Provisions like
what macron is doing in France and then
when you call them and they say oh well
this is just like the proletarian
dictatorship no it's not a proletarian
dictatorship is a singular open
dictatorship it is openly evolving
itself as a proletarian dictatorship
it's not saying that we are a liberal
democracy it's a proletarian
dictatorship that's the Baseline
but in Liberal democracy you
increasingly see this constant reference
to improvisation these constant
arbitrarily contrived
transgressions over the norm
and that's what liberal leftism is it's
a state of transgression over the basic
Bourgeois subject it's still the
Bourgeois subject but it has all of
these creative universities it's
supposed to be the Ultimate Logos but it
just represents the final extension of
the their will thus completely separated
from Universal reality very true thank
you so much Chris for the donation by
the way I really appreciate that
but yeah that's kind of what we're
talking about you know
um
it's kind of what we're talking about
but
all right I'm gonna wrap this lecture up
because clearly there's not a big uh
interest in it
based thank you so much what about Che
guevara's concept of the new man though
is it different from the Soviet concept
I'm not really familiar with Shay's
concept
per se but um
I'm gonna wrap up this lecture let's say
in the next 20 or 10 minutes and then
we're gonna go over to the new DeSantis
interview and just react to some content
because uh
it's pretty clear to me that it's not
that interesting to people
but anyway
to kind of get to the point of what I'm
getting at here
so much cross multipolarity is a
futuristic project for organizing the
world order on completely new principles
and axioms on which modernity is based
on
I somewhat agree that that is what it is
for powers like Russia and China
but multi-polarity is not just a project
and it's certainly not something based
on principles or axioms
I understand with the spirit of what
you're saying and in the spirit of what
you're saying is true
but I'm trying to understand
multi-polarity in a deeper way in a
deeper sense
anyway
to sit to try and continue to simplify
what I'm saying
when we infrared began this as Marxism
leninism in the age of multi-polarity in
the post-covered world
what is the real significance of Marxism
leninism here
well and and why are we so different
than Marxist leninus like the Communist
Party of Greece or like red lips like
Hakeem who I don't even know if they
claim to be mls in their Trotsky is for
something
well I'll tell you why
communism
has always been understood Marxism has
always been understood as
internationalists it's always been
understood as concerned with the
withering away of the state
the withering away of classes the
withering away of
uh
basically the arrival of this new
reality right a completely new and
unprecedented future
over the past the elimination of
religion and so on and so forth it had
always been understood that way right
now as far as Marxism and legendism was
concerned
around
1928 in the Soviet Union
there was a spirit of
acceptance
because throughout the entirety of the
1920s the Bolsheviks were basically
coping with the failure of the World
Revolution
see in Orthodox Marxism there was always
a theory that the proletarian Revolution
was going to be this mythological event
as outlined in The Communist Manifesto
that would result in this simultaneous
worldwide Global Revolution
happening in all the capitals of all of
the advanced capitalist countries where
it in fact it was expected to take root
and the proletariat was going to take
charge
and completely conquer
the world right beginning in the most
advanced countries where the proletariat
was the most advanced and there's going
to be this worldwide simultaneous
proletarian Revolution
so in the October Revolution when many
of the Bolsheviks were planning on the
October Revolution after
the February Revolution
and Lenin wrote his April thesis there
was an expectation among the Bolsheviks
and this was part of a lot of their
internal polemics
that the October Revolution was going to
light a fire and that fire was going to
spread all across Europe and that's
going to create communism basically and
that's what a lot of them were banking
on
otherwise the revolution is going to
fail okay well uh a very bloody and
gruesome Civil War was fought after the
October Revolution
again a revolution that's beginning in
the most backward
country in Europe by the way
and in the 1920s
there's the establishment of the Soviet
Union
and Lenin immediately before he dies
says
look it's clear we're not
going to see any Revolution happen in
Europe
and it's a situation of total
hopelessness but Lenin says what if in
this
situation of total hopelessness
the requisites of civilization
can be pursued in a way different from
modern Europe what if we can build the
requisites for civilization and Lenin
always understood civilization in the
sense of modern civilization modernity
what if these could be found in the East
and in Asia in a diff What if we can
pursue a different path to civilization
than the European one he said what if
out of the total hopelessness of the
situation
we have found the very key
to a new future
so Lenin dies and Bolsheviks are dealing
with this despair Revolution didn't
spread it's contained Soviet Union is
totally isolated in front of the whole
world
and they don't know what to make of the
situation so there emerges multiple
factions in the Soviet Union that are
trying to respond to the situation
Trotsky is still coping trotsky's a
fucking mad man that guy's crazy Trotsky
saying nope there's no hopelessness this
the the the revolution's not lost
what we need to do is double down on
this Urban dictatorship we need to reign
in the peasants in the countryside
establish a super industrialization
which is basically we're going to
basically enslave these peasants at
gunpoint using the military to keep them
at Bay and forcefully industrialize them
totally at gunpoint from the top down
and then use Soviet Russia as a
launching pad to forcefully export the
revolution thanks so much Todd polarity
exists wherever there is civilizational
dissent against post-liberalism as a
universal practice a it's not some
inevitable phenomenon your lectures are
your best content infrared Rising thank
you so much talk I appreciate you
appreciate you for that
uh let me
so Trotsky is copen Trotsky thinks
that hold on we can still keep going
with this
the October Revolution is not over
basically the revolution's not over we
need to spread it spread it spread it or
else the whole thing is a failure
and
that becomes the left opposition
within the Bolshevik party after Landon
dies right I'm gonna let this donation
go through before I continue
I hate streamlabs so fucking much I just
I fucking hate it so fucking much
right
it's such it's so fucking takes so
fucking long to register these super
chats through stream labs
thank you so much I'll take appreciate
you everything everywhere all at once is
a trotsky-eyed movie yeah I'm not
watching that movie I fucking hate it
so trotsky's coping he doesn't think the
revolution's over
so on the other hand I'm not going to
get into bukharan
because that's a whole uh
it's not necessarily relevant here
because the Karen also understood the
Revolution was over right
but bukharans if you want to know
bukharan's position in like 10 seconds
bukharin basically thought I agree the
revolution's Lost
so we need to basically surrender
to International capital
and hope for the best and that's pretty
much bukharan's position forget about
building socialism let's just totally
surrender and let the laws of Economics
carry us forward even if it destroys the
proletarian dictatorship that's the will
of history and so be it so that's
bukharan's position
and on the other hand the Stalin line
which in my view
is the successor to the spirit of Lenin
that's
that's Lenin that's Lenin's contribution
so Trotsky and bukharan you could say
come from some Twisted reading of the
classical Marxism or the Orthodox
Marxism but they all neglected Lenin's
unique contribution to Marxism and my
view is that Stalin was the only one to
take note of the fact that you know what
this is not just the old Marxism
Lenin made an independent contribution
to Marxism
and that's why he called it Marxism
leninism
so what was Stalin's heresy what did
Stalin do
Stalin looked at the failure of the
Revolution to spread
and what Stalin said is yes
it failed
and because it failed now we can finally
succeed now we can actually give an
expression to its real purpose we can
derive its actual purpose
Stalin derived the theory of socialism
in one country
that
socialism is not going to be
simultaneous and Global and all
happening at once it's going to be
something
that is built within one country
and
there can be an anticipation that in the
future it will spread but that's owing
to the internal laws of
history as they find expression in each
and every country
Stalin was skeptical of the idea of
exporting the revolution he was
skeptical of the idea of exporting the
revolution because he was a real
leninist
he understood that yes communism may be
inevitable and yes it will be an
international Revolution but it's not
going to happen all at once why because
each country has different levels of
development and each country exists in
different stages of development and
there isn't one simultaneous Global
state that is an index of global history
so if you want Stalin is a a forerunner
to the theory of multipolarity just in
terms of his understanding of how
socialism is going to be an
international Revolution he doesn't
interpret it that okay it's all going to
happen at once simultaneously for Stalin
the revolution will result as the inevit
uh as a result of the inevitable laws of
history but those laws are National
informed those laws will find their
expression independently
in each and every country so Stalin's
basically saying we expect that
eventually
for example France will become a
communist country
but we're not going to force it on
France we expect it to happen because of
the laws of history but we're not in a
position to forcefully make that happen
by exporting the revolution because why
because the French country is embedded
within a specific history
a specific civilization if you get where
I'm getting at right that
uh possesses its own inner logic
and
the terms and conditions of the
development of Communism will obey that
logic okay
so that's Stalin's contribution with
socialism in one country
now where does infrared come into the
picture it comes from a specific
interpretation of Marxism leninism where
we're looking at the Historical
experience and we're saying okay there
was also this idea
in this anticipation that the family was
going to be uh reorganized in a communal
way
that did not happen
so in countries like the Soviet Union
and other Communist States what happened
they surrendered
they surrendered to this reality just
like they surrender to the reality of
socialism in one country
and then you go so far
as
to get to someone like Deng Xiaoping
where okay look
we thought
that by transforming culture
we were going to guarantee
you know the um
permanent revolution internal revolution
of socialism
right we already had our socialist
revolution in China we already have our
proletarian dictatorship in China
and the cultural revolution
was supposed to answer the question of
where is socialism what is socialism
right
in China
many people don't know this but as a
result of the organic development of the
commune system that was established
under Mao okay China was heading to the
direction of
forms of small accumulation happening
now that's different from bukhari
bukharan just wanted to surrender the
proletarian dictatorship what I'm trying
to say is in in China after they did the
Great Leap Forward after they had the
proletarian dictatorship totally
consolidated
there was an organic economic tendency
emerging that
saw to the rise of smaller forms of
accumulation
and many interpret this this to mean the
restoration of capitalism and a lot of
the cultural revolution was about
preventing the restoration of capitalism
in its later years
especially Mao who said you know right
now in China it would be easy to make
capitalism quote unquote he thought of
it it was capitalism because the
tendency of Market relations small-scale
accumulation and so on and so forth was
emerging in China so Mao said right now
and this was like the right before he
died in the
in the 70s and this was the end of the
cultural revolution he was saying it
would be easy to make capitalism right
now right
and that's what he was saying
so
Mao started this campaign within China
called what does it mean
for
the proletarian dictatorship
to oppress the bourgeoisie when we don't
have a bourgeoisie anymore
and Mao basically because Mao was
looking at a um a quotation from Lenin
and Lenin was saying something like the
purpose of the proletarian dictatorship
was to repress the Bourgeois element in
capitalism and this is the end of the
cultural revolution and Mao's sitting
there he's going okay we've gotten rid
of the bourgeoisie there's no
bourgeoisie in China anymore so what's
the purpose of the proletarian
dictatorship and Mao was saying this
question we need to answer it because
the implication is that there is going
to be a bourgeoisie under the
proletarian dictatorship there will be
some kind of capitalism under the
proletarian dictatorship and that the
proletarian dictatorship will serve the
purpose of just keeping the Bourgeois
element at Bay
and Mao was disturbed by this conclusion
and he started a national campaign for
people to study this sentence basically
and its implications because he said
right now in China it'd be easy for
capitalism to be created right
and that was disturbing Mao to some
extent
so Deng Xiaoping comes to the fore and
what does Deng Xiaoping do he does the
same thing Stalin did just as Stalin
understood and we need to have socialism
in one country the revolution's not
going to spread elsewhere Deng Xiaoping
also understood that we cannot
permanently keep at Bay the tendency of
small accumulation we have to unleash
the productive forces not only in the
sense of unleashing Technology but
unleashing the actual organic Tendencies
inclinations and economic relations
occurring at the smallest microscopic
level we need to unleash this instead of
constantly repressing it and
artificially keeping it at Bay with this
cultural
Revolution
stuff right
we need to allow this Force to unleash
it's almost like China right the
cultural revolution was like this great
dam and there's a lot of water that the
dam is blocking right
that water is the Tendencies of the
market forces and small accumulation
happening in China
the gang of four and you know
um Mao's wife
including Mao's wife wanted to just keep
not only keep that Dam but even
Consolidated Deng was seeing that you
know this is killing our country
we're on a road to nowhere China can't
survive like this
we're gonna end up just like the Soviets
and
you know the Socialist block of total
stagnation forever so dang said we need
to bring the dam down unleash the water
and somehow control it
in a cybernetic way instead of a direct
way of just stopping it
so dang was saying unleash
the relations of production
that's what releasing the productive
forces meant unleashing the productive
forces also entailed unleashing the
productive relations
that
unleashing the ability for the
productive relations to actually
Express themselves in a way reflective
of their actual material state
China's material relations of production
were being repressed they were being
artificially repressed right through
these artificial systems like for
example the donway system which was like
a system of workers control
in the cities that was a totally
artificial managerial construct that
didn't actually reflect the actual
subconscious relations of production
that existed in China at the time
relations of production which did entail
a specific
economic relationship between people
that you saw for example in Black
markets and under the rug and with
various you know informs of corruption
and so on and so forth real material
relations of production are not things
you can establish by Fiat politically
they exist unconsciously okay
so Deng Xiaoping
with his notion of unleashing the forces
of production and his Market performs
the reform and opening up that's really
what the opening up meant many people
think opening up is about the open
Society of Soros no opening up is about
unleashing something we've kept closed
that's what opening up means it doesn't
mean let's absorb
uh you know um
the progressive West it means let's open
up our potentials when we've been
keeping them artificially straight
jacketed in the name of ideology
so that's the important thing to
understand with Deng Xiaoping
so
where does infrared fit within this
scheme why are we called fascists so
often and in terms of theory at least
what do so Stalin Deng Xiaoping and then
has Aldine the three heads I'm just
kidding I'm not I don't have that
pretension so just to be clear that's a
joke
but I do think that I am at least on to
something
that
uh
is comparable to
socialism in one country and what Dang
Xiaoping did but for me it's political
Theory right
I'm gonna let Chris's donation go
forward first so I don't lose my track
my train of thought
foreign
Village policy that already had started
in the
1977 on time frame it was a spontaneous
form of accumulation that came directly
from the communes it was already the
basis yep that because I I because I
read the economic history of China to
understand this years ago and it's very
clear it was an organic development
but um
okay so for me
this is where Hazeldean enters the
picture
with the rise of the so-called
authoritarian autocracies
many Marxist leninists are reluctant to
acknowledge the legacy of the
proletarian dictatorship to be clear
the tradition of political autocracy
that we're seeing in China and in Russia
it's called autocracy I'm just vaguely
authoritarianism right
that is directly the result of the
legacy of the proletarian dictatorship
now principled Marxist leninis who are
really distrosky is
we'll say something like okay
the proletarian dictatorship was
something
that
we had safe sorry the proletarian
dictatorship was this necessary evil so
for example under Stalin yeah there was
a proletarian dictatorship but the
content that wasn't a form in it for its
own sake the content of it was the
eventual withering away of the state and
having the anarchist Chas commute the
stalinist dictatorship is just a means
to an ends it's just some kind of
blemish it's some kind of embarrassment
some kind of necessary evil right rather
than something reflective of any
objective
laws of history or anything on the
nature holy shit thanks so much for the
Ray jackson appreciate you so much
we're in the middle of a really
really boring political Theory stream
right now so you're gonna have to
forgive me for that
thank you so much for the Ray jackson
appreciate you so much man
anyway
to continue what I was saying but if you
guys like the stream if you can I'd
really appreciate if you like the stream
you know but it's up to you
but uh
Okay so
my contribution to this is that the
proletarian dictatorship
reveals
and this is why I am so associated with
fascism by Western leftists this is why
they're always accusing me of being a
right wing whatever because I can
finally come and admit that yes the
proletarian dictatorship
reflects some tendency of statecraft
that is objective
thank you so much Patriot to be true to
the spirit of Marx and Lennon we must
embrace the future world that's been
born in front of our eyes Communists are
the oracle's who Embrace and submit to
the coming future appreciate that fire
fire thank you so much so
Pro turn dictatorship
was not just some necessary evil
nor just some transitory stage
that you can just
um see as a tool a utility the
proletarian dictatorship is the
successor to the tradition of scientific
statecraft of Prussian statecraft that
is my diabolical
conclusion
and I understand this in the same vein
as the socialism in one country or dang
xiaoping's reforms it seems like a
retreat from traditional Marxism
According to which we're not a big fan
of authoritarian States
um we want the cacao being commune in
the third world indigenous tribe but my
view is different my view is that
the state
while I guess yes eventually it will
wither away it's not going to wither
away and dissolve into indigenous
Amazonian tribes Distributing cacao
beans it's going to wither Away by
becoming Superfluous but State as the
common
Humanity the common sight of humanity
real state by the way and the objective
sense of the word
uh
is
the external reality of humanity itself
the state has a primary reality even
before individual rights and
individuality and so on and so forth so
what I'm trying to do basically is
formalize the actual experience of 20th
century socialism not as a necessary
tragedy but is an actual objective
feature so to me the proletarian
dictatorship in the 20th century wasn't
just some accidental mishap and now we
need to be more democratic in the future
I mean to me I am against the Cuban
revisionist and the Vietnamese
revisionists because they're Gorbachev
socialists because according to them
the proletarian dictatorship was a uh
necessary evil and it was a mistake and
now we need to go into Democratic
socialism now we need to go into the
direction of democratic socialism I
reject that I reject the notion the
revisionist notion that Western
democracy
is historically more Progressive than
authoritarianism
to me the authoritarian proletarian
dictatorship
reflects some authentic objective
reality of the state
so I am returning Marxism leninism to
its Prussian Origins because Marx was
coming from the Prussian context himself
the by Prussian I mean depression
uh
statecraft theories science of
statecraft from klausvitz who directly
inspired Marx Engels and Lenin all the
way to the German conservative
revolutionaries like for example Carl
Schmidt and Junger who admittedly yes
made the mistake thank you so much I'll
take appreciate you
Deng is so important for Marxism
leninism it's so glaringly obvious why
he is denounced or erased by Western
Marxism why the Chinese Revolution in
its entirety till today is distorted
hordes of anime saturated leftists hate
the dialectic exactly thank you so much
Hearts I appreciate you so much yes then
Xiaoping is so so important and I will
have to do streams in the future really
kind of
hitting home and driving deeply into his
significance but
I reject the Gorbachev revisionist even
Brezhnev Khrushchev revisionist
presumption that we have to be
authoritarian thank you so much Chris
morog geopolitics is the primary because
I'm sorry I don't hate Cuba I don't hate
Vietnam I don't want them to surrender
to Liberal democracy but you need to
understand the basis of my criticism of
these revisionist states
they are saying things like we're only
authoritarian because we have to be
because uh we're forced to be at
gunpoint we're victims we would prefer
to be Democratic liberal countries like
you but we can't because we're victims
of imperialism
and I reject that fundamentally I think
the authoritarianism
of the proletarian dictatorship reflects
something let's say for lack of a better
word metaphysical
about the nature of the state I think
all states are authoritarian by nature
and they can either acknowledge that and
thereby seize upon their own sovereignty
or they can do what Gorbachev did
and suspend the responsibility to be an
authoritarian State and thereby allow
some other authoritarian power like the
globalist institutions of the West to
come fucking rob your country and take
it over see Gorbachev was a fucking
coward because he was sitting here
saying oh we don't want to be we want to
be Democratic now we want to be
Democratic socialism you motherfucker
there's going to be authoritarianism
either way it's the sky they're going to
be the authoritarianism of the
neoliberal west or it's going to be you
taking responsibility for the defense of
your own state
right so that's where I'm coming from
with when I and by the way when I say
authoritarianism I'm not talking about
macron and just oppressing your own
people I'm not talking about that I am
talking about an unabashed
People's State a Central State right
that will not surrender its sovereignty
to the open Society
I'm talking about a state
which has a determinant which is not
scared of having a determinate biased
and partisan character instead of the
democratic state which pretends to be
just this neutral medium and neutral
vessel of the people an authoritarian
State insists upon its particularity for
example the North Korean State we are
North Koreans
we are nothing else we are not some
abstract modern democratic subject we
are the Koreans
we will die for Korea along with Korea
that's North Korea that's why they're
authoritarian though because they insist
on their particularity
that's what the proletarian dictatorship
means it means we're not just some
random mishmash of people we are the
workers state to be the worker State you
need to have a state that makes
decisions without even
speaking on it let alone having an
election for it you need to have a state
that makes a decision based on the
perspective of engaged subjective
partisanship like we as the state make
this decision because it's what we are
we don't need any fucking election for
this we don't need any open institutions
and ngos to keep us in check we insist
upon our determinant in a particular
character and that is how we act as a
state to me that is the significance of
the proletarian dictatorship
it's a inheritance of the Prussian
in a Twisted way in some sense the
Prussian tradition of statecraft
it's like the Prussian response to the
French Revolution
oh you're the universal Republic no
you're not you're fucking friends you
are the French people
that's why you had to have Napoleon
because the French people need one
leader
the French people cannot simply have a
republic as their leader they need one
lead if there's one people there must be
one leader
right
so my opposition to the Hakeem marks
this leniness and all these other
Marxist Learners even before it's
cultural it's political
I don't think the proletarian
dictatorship is a fluke
just like Stalin understood socialism in
one country
I understand
that
I don't know a slogan that would be
equivalent but the state is an objective
reality look
the tsarist state
was an objective reality the Soviet
state inherited a lot of the objective
realities of the Russian Empire today's
Russian Federation despite not being
communist formally has inherited a lot
of the political realities of the Soviet
Union why because the state
is not just Skin Deep it's deeper
there's a reality of statehood
just like there's a reality of the
country that's deeper the state has a
history
just like the country has a history
now do I believe in the eventual
withering away of the state I do but
that withering away will obey the
internal logic of the internal
development of the state
I'm not talking about the state
bureaucratic Machinery by the way and
that's where the theory of
multi-polarity steps in because I think
when I'm talking about the objectivity
of the state I'm not talking about the
objectivity of its institutions and I'm
not talking about the objectivity or
even of its laws necessarily
I'm talking about the objectivity of the
state as a realization of a polarity
a definite orientation for the unity of
a people a determinate Unity of the
people a Unity of the people
that is somehow cognizant of itself
and Sovereign in the sense of Defending
itself
based then you said appreciate the state
emerge form class relations and have its
own objective independent reality
yes that's that's what it is
it's the Marxist Dogma According to
which the state is merely a tool of the
ruling class I reject that view
on the one hand that holds true for the
actual institutions of the state in
their functional reality yes but the
state let's say as this externalized
organ of the people
the unity of a people is not a tool that
is the site
of the common
reality of the people it's just like the
Anna look at krodstat after the October
Revolution
when the Bolsheviks crushed the
crowdstad sailors the anarchists
reproached the Bolsheviks and said wait
a minute I thought you're the workers
dictatorship
how can you crush the workers when
you're a worker's dictatorship
it's simple
a worker's dictatorship is a state
it's not actually the workers
individually as like the sum total of
individuals coming together and voting
on
themselves
that's not what it is it's the
externalized unity
of a working-class dictatorship that's
not reducible to individual workers at
all so if individual workers
even if all of them let's say
take up arms against the workers
dictatorship
they are assuming a partisan position
they're not simply saying oh we are the
workers no you're taking a political
position you're not just acting upon
your class reality
class is an IM is a contradiction
imminent
to the State subject
meaning
there's a subjectivity corresponding to
the state in this case it's the
universal citizen the modern citizen
right class is just a contradiction
imminent to that subjectivity class
doesn't exist at the individual level no
individual is a class okay
you are not the worker you are not the
worker you are not the worker
individually you're a guy who likes
peanut butter sitting in your underwear
and watching WWE that doesn't mean you
are the working class
you're a guy who masturbates in their
spare time and you know
who knows but you're just some
individual is what I'm trying to say
you're just an individual
class exists at the same plane
of existence as the state
it's a collective reality right
irreducible to the individuals that
comprise it
so that is my contribution to Marxism
leninism
the proletariat is a political
subjectivity
is it a Class A scientific class
relation yes but relations of production
are not even reducible to the actual
relations of production you see the
actual relations of production that
exist within Society
are the result of a more fundamental
complex of relations of production that
result from
the relationship between the state and
its premises for example now all I mean
by the state
is the common sociality of humanity for
Marx the state is the alienation of
man's common sociality but so many
liberals misunderstand Marx
they make the fundamentally wrong
assumption that Marx was trying to say
that on the one hand you have the state
and on the other hand you have
individuals no Marx said on the one hand
you have the state on the other hand you
have an organic human sociality meaning
Marx understood an objective reality of
some common unified social reality of
the people irreducible to its parts
he thought the state the modern state
was the alienated expression of that
so I'm talking about an aspect of the
state that I regard as objective not the
institution of the modern State per se
but the fact of the externalized common
Unity of the people
which exerts itself as a polarity among
individuals why because it divides
people into partisans
listen to me now
if the reality of humanity is some
external common reality
then the only way we as individuals can
relate to it is through some kind of
partiality we have to have some
partisanship that orients us toward a
position not given in our individual
existence so I'm an individual sitting
around eating peanut butter in my
underwear watching South Park
fine
what is my political subjectivity it's
partisan I have to orient toward a
position not reducible to myself
that partisanship is what defines the
social being of humanity
not just when you're sitting around on
the toilet on your phone watching tick
tock
polarity if you unders even in the sense
of magnetic polarity polarity implies
difference right polarity implies One
Direction as opposed to another right
that is what polarity is
that is what polarity is
polarity is referring to a specific
orientation when I say the reproduction
of a civilization I'm referring to a
specific
orientation of the common some specific
common sociality of humanity so to to
sum this lecture up to you okay
in Old Marxism
the idea is that okay it's all
capitalism it's all one mode of
production no I reject that to me the
mode of production is in one country
which means
the polarity implies
that our embeddedness within some
specific social community
is not give it there are different
histories there are different social
communities there are different modes of
production there are different logos of
production it's not one only one world
there are different worlds it's what I'm
trying to say
in some sense like
in Old Marxism the idea is simply that
okay it's one mode of production
everyone's within the light capitalism
or something right and then I'm here
saying that's not how modes of
production work
they're not given a historically
constituted people is not given
and not today in today's world is taking
the form of
the historical constitution of humanity
takes the form of different polarities
China is not living in the same mode of
production as Russia because it's a
different historically constituted
community
more importantly it's a different poll
it's a different polarity polarities are
different forms of the reproduction of
humanity human history Human Society
everything about Humanity reproduced
differently
in a different poll okay
so
to me authoritarian politics is just
politics in the age of multi-polarity
because what makes these politics
authoritarian is the fact that they act
in a determinate way without for example
having a formal Democratic mandate like
for example
the Chinese Communist party doesn't need
to create some facade of a fucking
neutral unbiased election to make the
decision that we are going to defend the
interests of the Chinese Nation
that's a given
they don't need to have an election
where they're going to pretend they're
not living in a country with a bunch of
Chinese people who have Chinese
interests that's a given it's the
People's Republic of China it's a given
that the interests of the people take
precedent they don't have the facade of
some purely neutral election
that sees people as this tabula rasa
blanks slate where they're going to say
okay like imagine the absurdity if China
was a democracy
in the western sense they would say okay
we are neutral we're just gonna have
these purely neutral Democratic
institutions and it doesn't matter if
you're Chinese or if you're um Brazilian
or if you're Arabic or if you're French
we're all the same Democratic subject as
long as you're a citizen of our country
and it doesn't matter what your views
are in relation to our historically
constituted Community you can run a
political party saying that you want to
balkanize and dissolve China you can run
a political party saying you want to
serve the interests of the oligarchic
Elites at the expense of the people you
can run a political party saying you
want to commit Mass genocide against
Chinese people and our democracy is
blind it's Blind Justice we don't care
it's all neutral fuck no they're not
going to say that the Chinese are
authoritarian they say we are Chinese we
are China this is the Chinese nation and
we are here to uplift and serve the
interests of the Chinese people and that
is non-negotiable
that's what makes them authoritarian
that's also what makes Russia
authoritarian you think Russia's
authoritarian because no one's allowed
to vote of course they can vote but
there's non-negotiables about the
Russian State like one non-negotiable is
for example this is the Russian state
we will not submit our sovereignty to
the West we live in a different sphere
than the west Western values cannot be
imposed on us we are our own
civilization our own State and we insist
upon that and that insistence
is what makes Russia authoritarian it's
not that Putin wants to hold power
at the expense of other people oh I'm a
greedy bully I want to hold power at the
expense of everyone else no what makes
Russia authoritarian is because it says
we want to go this way without
negotiating on it it doesn't matter that
Putin is the authoritarian strong man
there's an authoritarian will for Russia
to insist upon itself as a determinate
and specific
Paul a specific civilization
that my understanding of this in
scientific terms within the framework of
Marxism leninism is What Separates Me
from every other Marxist leninist even
globally Marxist leninists have not
arrived at a proper Theory to make sense
of the proletarian dictatorship in the
20th century that's what I'm here to do
I want to do what Stalin did
with socialism in one country applying
it to the proletarian dictatorship
thank you so much the king in regards to
this thinking did macron take the same
approach except instead of serving the
needs of the French it's in the needs of
the elite
thank you so much amila Mecca I would
not say so and well yes in this
the obscene thing the obscene Paradox in
France is that it's similar to Fascism
because
friends from the perspective of the
institutions of liberal democracy which
are abstract blank institutions macron
was a fucking Banker macron's insistence
of some kind of authoritarian will which
is what he's doing
is on behalf of the amorphous abstract
indeterminate universalism of the open
society and that is what makes it so
obscene and yes dangerous because macron
see the key thing with authoritarian
leaders is that they're populists
they're based in the fundamental will of
the people
macron has no basis in the fundamental
will of like the French farmers in the
countryside for doing what he's doing he
is not a traditional Prussian
authoritarian if you will he is a
vampire acting uh purely on the basis of
the vampiric interests of some abstract
Capital some abstract Banks which have
no National Allegiance have no specific
civilizational character have no regard
for any reality of the people at all
just some pure form right
macron's terroristic dictatorship is the
epitome of the anti-human fascist
dictatorship the Klaus Schwab World
economic Forum has in store for us
because it is the imposition finally of
the authoritarian Democratic will we are
going to be forced to be Democratic
which means we will be deprived of our
national character we will be deprived
of our civilization we will be deprived
of our Humanity grind it into worms and
everything within us will be squeezed
out
so the bankers and the capitalists
can squeeze out everything they fucking
can from us
in order to reproduce the open Society
the global open Society
so it's a big big difference with what
macron is doing then what I'm describing
here he is not giving expression to any
authentic objective reality of the state
he is resorting to an obscene psychotic
emergency mechanism of the vampiric
liberal Democratic oligarchy
which is a crude mimicry of authentic
dictatorship just like Hitler's regime
in Germany was a crude mimicry of the
Bolshevik dictatorship same with
mussolinis it's a crude and obscene
mimicry of the objective tradition of
Prussian authoritarianism
I think there is an authentic kernel of
Prussian authoritarian statecraft that
only
the Communists were able to inherit
and again the key thing is rooted in
some basis
in the people Stalin's dictatorship was
based in the Russian peasant the
subjectivity of the Russian peasant
Hitler's dictatorship was not based in
the subjectivity of any popular strata
of the German people
it was an adventure from the top down
same with Mussolini's just a pure vain
Adventure
it had no roots in the soil of the
people
same with MAO mouse was based in the
roots of the Chinese peasant
subjectivity it was truly telluric the
Nazis and Italian fascists only aspired
to be telluric they weren't actually
tell Eric though they had no basis in
The Peasant subjectivity of their
respective countries that's how I'm
combining
German conservative Revolution with
Marxism leninism
because to me
Schmidt younger and all those guys got
it totally wrong they thought Nazism was
the Zeitgeist of their Theory and they
were so so disastrously wrong they
should have seen communism as the
Zeitgeist of the true German tradition
of
political science
and conservative Revolution
as a France's idea of startup Nation by
macron is like Hitler's idea of a Hitler
swastika for example
was a symbol that meant nothing to the
German people
because of some theosophists Mystic
people they said oh this is an ancient
symbol of the Aryans you think a fucking
German peasant
can derive some meaning from the
swastika he can't it's a pure
abstraction it's a pure startup from
scratch Hitler's Germany was a startup
Nation a pure vain experiment and
adventure
the Soviet Tamarin sickle was very
simple sickle is what the peasants use
hammers what the workers use very simple
meaning right
anyway
you see
the macron's notion of a startup Nation
the basic thrust of this is that we want
to liquidate the French civilization and
make France a startup from scratch
everyone will live in a pod men will
have wombs there will be no more gender
it'll be startup everything right
complete from scratch
this is the vanity of what macron is
doing with his authoritarianism quote
unquote it's a vain authoritarianism
who wants to make friends a start-up
Nation
but you can't start up civilization
that's the problem that's why I disagree
with the liberal left you cannot start
up civilization
I want to make some final comments
there's some dumb ass I don't even
remember their name on Twitter
they were saying something speaking of
France like oh
I wonder why the Western left is talking
about the protests in France rather than
what's going on in South Africa
first of all to give this a response you
just discovered the South African eff
the infrared Collective
has been writing about the eff since
2017.
one of my unpublished books
it's not that long
although if I publish it I'm going to
add a lot to it is about the South
African eff
so you just discovered what the eff was
yesterday
if you lived in South Africa you would
call them fascist Pat socks like you
call us and how do I know that because
we were inspired by the eff our notion
of politics came from the eff
by the way
finally
of course westerners will pay more
attention to what's going on in France
because we are Western we are not
Africans
these diaspora
tropical leftists calling themselves MLS
simply want to maintain their Bourgeois
class privileges within America they
live in America or Britain they come
from Rich families which is in itself
not a crime but instead of humbling
themselves to the working class they
live a lifestyle of pure elitism within
America or Britain saying oh these
hillbillies are so gross I'm such a
stylish PSL PLC woman I'm gonna read
France fan on you are the bourgeoisie in
America
if you want to be a true communist go
fuck into whatever third world country
you are
using as a justification to spit on the
working class of the country you're
living in you're living in America you
Scorn the working class of your own
country in the name of the third world
but if you lived in the third world
could you really humble yourself to the
people and go down to the people and
actually lose all of your petty
Bourgeois class Privileges and humble
yourself I doubt it I've seen these
Petty Bourgeois leftists in South Africa
they are not eff types okay they hate
the eff why
because it's all about class eff is a
proletarian Mass organization and the
same things that turn them off about
Maga the same shit about eff oh eff
they're like toxic and they're just like
fascist and they're loud and scary same
shit okay they hate the people and their
Bourgeois subjectivity knows no borders
take these leftists who are trying to
use the eff to cuddle any solidarity
with the French proletariat send them to
South Africa they will not be friends of
the eff in South Africa the eff has none
of that nonsense
so it's stupid
why would you
oppose the French protest to what's
going on in South Africa we are living
in the western world
America is a Western Country
and plus we're in similar political
situations if you didn't fucking know we
don't have a history of militant
socialism like South Africa does we
don't have an advanced socialist
organization like the eff I'm trying to
build one but we'll never build anything
like that here if you see the eff is a
popular party they're not sitting in
South Africa shitting on the majority
you're doing the opposite you're saying
oh I want to shit on all the fucking
white people and just make it a party of
indigenous people and black people you
are a petty Bourgeois minority party
then you're not like what the fucking
eff is in South Africa you want to know
what the what the equivalent to the eff
is in America it's Maga if anything is
that's a mass popular National Party of
the working class
it's not some moralizing petty Bourgeois
minority of petty Bourgeois academics
trying to maintain their class privilege
over the great majority that's what
you're doing here you have nothing in
common with the South African eff
nothing that's a popular party rooted in
the masses you have nothing to do with
that when you did some Jay Sakai shit
excuse me does this D at the table
appeal to folks and they're not
allergies that's stupid
an American eff
will probably be majority white because
majority of people in America are white
see it's about class politics it's not
about the color of your skin eff is
black because it's African in a African
country we're not living in an African
country so stop trying to LARP like the
eff is going to be this indigenous POC
organization in America no it won't will
it include
non-white people of course it will but
it'll include them proportionately
to the American working class
probably even disproportionately to be
honest at first but when it becomes a
mass party it's going to have a ton of
white people in it
because we are a mostly white country
when you assume a politics of the
minority
and not from the perspective of
secessionism or self-determination but
you're like oh I wanna I wanna con I
want the interests of the minority to
rule over the majority
you are just a petty bourgeois
liberal you're not sent you're not a
revolutionary in any meaningful capacity
a revolutionary humbles themselves to
the level of the people comrade number
three will join the CPU soon thank you
so much nowhere a revolutionary lowers
themselves and humbles themselves to the
people you don't fucking go to the
fucking gas station ew this white
hillbilly so gross you humble yourself
to the people that's the working class
of the fucking country you live in
you're not better than anyone humble
yourself that's the proletarian stats
you are a brat a diaspora brat sitting
there sitting on the working class of
your country it's nothing more than that
if you were really this third world this
revolutionary you'd move to the third
world and go fight your gorilla jungle
war there
stop using it as a cudgel to be an
excuse to maintain your classroom and
see how consistent
first I heard of them was when I started
following you couple years ago Bosch
calls them fascists and melamine yeah in
South Africa malema is called Hitler by
the petty Bourgeois leftists in South
Africa
but I'm sick of these PSL diaspora brats
maintaining their Petty Bourgeois class
privilege in the form of scorning the
working class majority in their country
see I come from a privileged background
myself you know how easy it would be for
me to just not have to examine my class
Privileges and just sit here and go you
know what I uh as I come from a
relatively wealthy background yeah I'm
just I'm just the third worldest yeah
give me my Frappuccino oh yeah I'm gonna
I'm just I can't be so easy to do that
growing up right I mean probably not
because I wasn't raised like that
because I was always told by my parents
be grateful you live in this country be
grateful for everything you have and
you're not better than anyone
that's how I was raised and I thank my
parents every day for raising because my
parents are so down to earth you know
because my parents Came From A working
class background you know
I was never raised with that but so I'm
not just gonna say it's because I'm a
good person I'm gonna attribute it to my
parents but
that's what these diaspora leftists are
they're just Petty Bourgeois radicals
Bourgeois radicals
using their POC background
as a way to maintain their class
privilege
the majority of the working class here
is not politically correct and is
not
only POC it's a majority white okay you
don't like it then fucking leave you're
not a revolutionary
majority of French people it's like when
these stupid articles I saw why are the
French yellow vests so white why are
there so many white people in France I
don't fucking know because it's a
majority white country they're they're
mostly Europeans of European descent
it's so stupid
you want to have solidarity with the
South African eff then build
working-class power in America and
defeat the imperialism at home so that
when they come to power in South Africa
and they will our government doesn't go
fuck with them
that's what you can do for the eff they
don't need you to be cheerleading in
America assuming a defeatist petty
Bourgeois anti-popular position
that only means preserving your
Bourgeois privilege
build a mass movement
third if you're a third world that's
living in America get the fuck out
you fucking LARPing bitch
someone wanted to make me react to the
bad Empanada video where he's uh
posturing about his knowledge of Marxism
in relation to Baristas there's nothing
to react to because he will never
fucking debate about it because he's a
pussy he'll never fucking debate about
it forget me debate anyone from my
fucking Community especially people like
rev and they will wipe the fucking floor
with you
on this question
he he tried to make the argument on
Twitter
that
every
markup
that um oh baristos are adding value
because the price is sold for more
except value happens at the aggregate
social level not every local profit
that's being made actually refers to the
creation of surplus value why because
there's an average rate of profit which
means some Industries are not only not
producing any value whatsoever but are
parasitically transferring Surplus value
created elsewhere to themselves Marx
describes a bunch of these kinds of
Industries and capital volume two so no
oh but but the coffee was less valuable
before the barista's labor was
contributing to it you don't understand
what labor is labor just doesn't refer
to any manual Act Right upon the world
labor for Marx is has a social substance
it's not an individual act it's a social
substance
no Baristas are PSA when Baristas are
putting coffee in the fucking coffee
machine that's not the same as a factory
worker assembling components into a
product big surprise Baristas are not
Factory workers in any meaningful
comparison no Baristas are not the
modern form of the factory workers Marx
was talking about they're not performing
any kind of industrial labor whatsoever
and by the way Starbucks's accumulation
cannot be explained even in terms of
ground level profits Starbucks could not
have spread into a global transnational
corporation based on the profits gained
for example by one Starbucks cafe most
coffee shops are subsistence shops for a
reason because the profit margins they
produce is not enough to generate the
necessary amounts of capital to initiate
a process of accumulation
now I get most businesses can't do that
and you need loans from the bank but I
digress
the whole financial Capital comes from
somewhere and the only meaningful
Marxist analysis has to be that it comes
from physical real material production
Starbucks just is credit injections from
Financial Capital betting that it's
going to be popular among people not
that it's producing or initiating the
process of capital accumulation itself
it's not see for Marx capital
accumulation is something that
gets initiated by modern industry so
there's a ground level kind of
accumulation
that is the result purely let's just
focus on for example a factory the way
factories accumulate capital and thereby
spread and spread okay
when you get to the point where that's
not even really possible
anymore
you can't just say oh yeah these workers
are just producing Surplus value Marx
was trying to explain how industrial
capitalism emerged he was trying to
describe the source of Industry the
source of industrial profits okay he
wasn't trying to describe how a local
business makes more money than it did
before
labor as a necessary cost of production
is not the same thing as labor which
generates Surplus value again read
Capital Volume 2 Marx describes a lot of
different kinds of employees which are
just costs
of capital
expenses which produce no Surplus value
in and of themselves they are just costs
of production being unnecessary cost of
production doesn't make you a productive
laborer pretty fucking simple stuff that
Empanada is a pedo and a stupid bitch
self-admitted pedo by the way and a
stupid bitch who has never ever
committed
to defending any of their positions in
relation to this stuff
through a debate right calling the bluff
they're gonna they're gonna posture and
Bluff about oh yeah uh I'm gonna I'm
gonna use a mocking voice yeah but your
position can't be taken for granted
because
you can't subject it to any scrutiny
without humiliating yourself in front of
the world as a dumbass who doesn't know
shit about Marxism
okay anyway guys
I hate to cut the stream short
it has been a late stream and uh
I streamed five hours for you guys
yesterday right early stream tomorrow
it's very possible
but I hope you guys enjoyed the lecture
I hope you learned something and I'll
see you guys tomorrow goodbye
