Could someone please explain why the concept of private property wasn’t always a thing. Im trying to understand what differed between the feudal ages and why isn’t land owned by a Lord and worked on by serfs considered private property by the Lord. If anyone can clarify or correct
private property is specifically seperated from the government and its profits cannot be totally reinvested into the political authority
in the feudal era, all profit went back to the lord who also held political authority
this is an uneducated take

Okay ty
Okay ty
i'd def wait for a well read person to provide a more substantial answer tho
okay this is bordering on fringe nonsense but i think one of the most pressing issues of the upcoming dedollarization and ascent of BRICS and the third world will be this weird line of anti imperialism vs promoting the causes of revolution.
for instance if there is a third world country, say a decent pink tide latin american one, and there is a budding maoist movement there with even a generally good line, what is the correct position to take in regards to who you should support, knowing that supporting armed revolutionary struggle would be cause to destabilize the country?

support the revolutionary movement of course, a pink tide isn’t gonna be able to hold off the inevitable crisises of capitalism, a pink tide is only supported temporarily in the lack of better alternatives however when contradictions reach the point where the pink tide must confront the revolutionary movement we’ll have to support the revolutionary movement, as the pink tide can’t solve the class struggle and in this failure of solving the class struggle well give opportunities to the right.
Looks like one of my company's manufacturing plants is striking and people are actually coming all the way to our headquarters to picket. I just got an e-mail begging us to not be in the office when they do it
I may have found a good way out of this soul-sucking corporate job. Time to make a sign

what about if the maoist movement has shown itself to be largely incompetent? or worse?

then they will fail and it won’t matter if they got support or not

come on man you know the answer
then they will fail and it won’t matter if they got support or not
so you are always going to be on the position of the most revolutionary org regardless of whether you can tell it will fail or not, also knowing that the process of attempting revolution is destabilizing?
granted i agree with you and think that that is the truth that history has shown. just trying to like butt heads a bit and see what i can gather.
come on man you know the answer
i do im just trying to figure out how sustainable this train of thought is.

We’re here for class struggle. We’re supporting pink capitalism (LOL) and Maoist movements in the third world in the moment because they fight against imperialism, even if our split in that regard comes to divide us
Once a nation is freed from the vice of imperialism, internal class struggle is now the primary contradiction and that must now be solved. Pink capitalism is not the answer

I’m gonna be honest it seems like a lot of the questions you ask in here are for the purpose of desperately trying to justify having a “team to root for” in the form of some opportunistic rightist that you can align yourself with
I get it. an easier and more comfortable answer would be “Yeah post pro Duterte stuff on Twitter and capitalism will lose eventually” but thats never going to be the answer and that’s not changing no matter how many hypotheticals about weird situations involving vaguely anti-US bureaucrat capitalists and revolutionaries you propose
so in essence the contradictions boil down to: fight against imperialism in all its forms as it continues to dissolve and shift towards the BRICS countries, while at the same time promoting the most revolutionary mass struggles within those and other third world countries to bring as many of them to revolution as possible?
Supporting the reformist government over the revolutionary armed struggle would be justified imo if the revolutionary armed struggle is just some adventurist shyt that's not even close to really coming to power and would only strengthen reactionaries
But that situation hasn't rly occured that often afaik

ive just run into some people with some weird ideas, and im trying to see what yall would say so i can help formulate my rhetoric. sorry if it seems like im being contrarian for no real reason.

how do u determine what is adventurous like we both agree for example the RAF in germany were adventurous but what makes the Philippines maoist not adventurous

ig this is what im trying to question is whether this is a situation that has or is even possible to have ever happened.

I'll be honest idk enough about the maoists in the Philippines so idk
