    I think it's less a rise of class consciousness as those boarding the social & political trends are not aware of context and more the works of Subversion as explained by Yuri Bezmenov.

    @John Morran You presume I spoke all that from a COD trailer? No offence but that's moronic.... have you read or watched Yuri? I have, long before the COD trailer brought him into light considering I am from a post Soviet country myself. off those not bothered or interested in politics & history I lost family to such..... And it is not just Yuri, it is history that dates back to the early 1900's let alone Yuri, he simply explains it well and simple enough for all to understand. Communism, Marxist ideals are easy to influence in the mind of the general population which is why when spread it instantly creates strong bondship between people to form mass groups such as BLM, Antifa etc. etc. Churchil himself said "the Fascists of tomorrow will call themselves the anti-fascists" with Stalin solidifying the ideation with his explanation of leadership he shared with Lenin befoure announcing his future roles. You think it's ridiculous that people can be easily manipulated to such ideals when there are entire groups who base their whole arguments off memes and jokes? You think it's ridiculous that people can fall for teachings and leanings when they are given it to themselves as an excuse for the "wrong" they believe occurs to them? It is basic psychology that people fall into such traps such as blaming the rich for their own problems or cultivate a blame culture of sorts instead of facing their problems and researching the flaws of society & systems. But yes, to avoid an actual answer you can just claim this all comes from a COD trailer to avoid a meaningful response to my comment if you wish.

The problem is to group any number of those like minded individuals anywhere on the map and expect them to be sacrificial in order to make Marxist Government work as Marx and Engels actually intended.

    @@DiscipleOfHeavyMeta1 the conception of the proletariat shouldn’t be a universal concrete class distinction void of tradition or religion. In capitalism all parts of life are commodified, even the church, which leads to secularism. Revolution does not come from spreading theory to the masses or reminding poor people that they are poor. Revolution manifests itself in a determination (material and non material) that usually reflects aspects of traditional culture in a society. When conservatives and liberals can see that this “Cultural Marxism” being espoused in all of our media, academic, and corporations is not a warm up for a communist revolution or that our society is progressing toward social equality. It’s quite the opposite, it’s an instrumentation of capitalist exploitation by the neo liberal bourgeois. Emasculated homosexuals with no family have no dependencies therefore they are happy with a easy low paying service based job and they can have a weak divided society of low payed consumers that embrace their degeneracy and exploitation by the ruling class as a freedom or a false sense of empowerment. It is the commodification of culture in the era of globalization. When conservatives and liberals can see this artificial division through the lens of capitalist exploitation then you can see unification and the two sides will overcome their petty assigned dogmas and deal with the real problem in an objective, focused, and determined manner.

    @@Jordan-mn2ty This which you write is a piece of false thinking in my view that does not lead to any revolutionizing practice but to defeat of mind and body. The conservative and liberal system of philosophy and politics is based on the preservation and expansion of capitalism, it is their function to not overcome the 'artificial division' of what capital exploits! The State (Washington D.C.) is unified with the particular interest of individuals. It is not unified with the universal interest of mankind or of our own society. More and more of our national political institutions in Washington D.C. cannot or no longer effect social change is less a breakdown of the institutions themselves, a melt down, to the contrary, they have become organs of the policy to have no policy at all among functionaries working in the State. Individual economic interest transcends the political interest of the government in the presence of no accountability of its participants and constituents is our situation. Who is responsible for the use of drones killing children when they are technologically programmed? To effect political change is made impossible and superfluous, making it urgent the change be a call for a universal emancipation from the State, effectively reunite the universal with the particular state by means of a conscious social revolution. How do you subjugate the Military Industrial Complex and the Pentagon to the People without a social revolution, you can't. This aim presents an empirical and historic paradox! US working class is the most powerful in the world but not the most educated or capable of wrestling the Pentagon and the MIC from the ruling political establishment elites in Washington, New York and Boston. Handicapped by race, gender, class divisions, it would have to take the form of mass social encampments that move from open forums for debate to an occupation of organized task forces transforming the run down environment of city neighborhoods into lush green parks and food production while its political wing struggle to unseat the liberals and conservative from political power.

Marx, Engels, and Lenin are great foundations, but capital has evolved into something none of them would recognize (though they'd all likely expect it to come to this place).

    Dear comrade dessalines, you should learn more about dessalines, he was in no way a friend of the slaves or hypothetically to today's workers. From very early on in his life he was hired by slave owners and the government so much so that he was known to them as the "butcher of the blacks". Throughout the course of the Haitian revolution he quite opportunistically sought his own interests and stayed out of leadership positions. The only real reason that he gained power is that any leader of standing had already died. Once he had lead the Haitian people to victory he led a genocide against the 3000 french people that remained on the island killing every man woman and child. While for sheer brutality it would be horrible enough but it's worth remembering that in the many years of civil war all the wealthy whites had already left leaving only those who had agreed with the revolution, had interracial marriages, or were too poor to leave. Another policy of his was to keep slavery even including the chains. The difference from Toussaint was that instead of white masters the masters were black. For nearly a hundred years afterwards slavery was kept though after dessalines died it was considerably lessened in daily brutality to be something more like serfdom. So that I'm not accused of being one sided it is true that he did lend guns and soldiers twice to Simon Bolivar. Simon lost the guns the first time. He did make Simon promise to free slaves which is a promise that Simon kept to the extent of his ability thought unfortunately none of the wealthy of South America or southern North America really went along with him on this. Thank you very much for this great reading of Lenin, comrade.

    Regarding a “variety of forms of the dictatorship of the proletariat”, what do you think about, in our modern context, a system of direct democracy (or demarchy) where councils that over see state departments are selected by random sortition (never establishing a distinct political role in society) and fulfilling state functions by employing public servants as laborers, rather than as wielders of power. Legislation would be screened by these Common Councils and then voted on directly through simple secure SMS message systems (Handivote). How does this stack up against council democracy, à la Commune or USSR?

    With our current levels of information technology, and considering we would be transitioning to socialism from liberal capitalism instead of medieval semi-feudalism, this isn't out of the question. At least, not entirely. It all depends on the conditions that allow the proletariat to seize power from the bourgeoisie. It could be progressively implemented if the proletariat seizes control of the current bourgeois institutions or if the dictatorship of the proletariat develops in parallel to the old system as an alternative with dual power being established as the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie decays and fails.

    Tom Brownlee Yeah, I’ve come to the same conclusion as you now. Paper ballots and public counting are dirt simple but very necessary. In that vein, it’s probably better that the Common Councils have legislative authority themselves, except for a few big votes (i.e. Taxation and social spending put through a function to match spending to taxation, whether or not to go to war, constitutional amendments, etc.) or for small scale local approval (i.e. local approval to build new public housing/infrastructure, or a vote on which style of housing to build).

    The issue I find so far in Lenin's teachings is this; any position within a communist society, be it a worker in a factory, a peasant on the fields, so on and so forth be paid a "workman's wage". By this, I took it as "being paid the same". If this is the case, why pay them at all? The only conceivable answer I can think of, is that payment in form of paper and coin, or "Labor notes" is that you can save such currency to buy more expensive goods or services. Why not simply issue labor cards to those productive members of society which allows them to take what they need from a store or shop, for free, because they in turn produce something themselves at their employment. In short, if you work, you get a special ID card and thus you're allowed to shop in stores for food and whatever other goods you may want or need for free.
