I saw this video (https://youtu.be/-gGLvg0n-uY) of a parody of MGS 2 someone made online and was wondering if it was true?

I've heard it described as feudal by some, however, I've heard many others claim that the system predates feudalism for social organization, and constitutes some weird mix of primitive communism and feudalism. Now, this doesn't really sound right to me, so I wanted to ask what others thought about the economic context and society surrounding the organization of society based on scottish clans.

I watched some of this guys videos and dude said the dumbest shit I have ever seen and he basically called Hoppeanism and Reactionary Libertarianism as "based" ideologies and also called himself a "Far-Right Libertarian Hoppean". Also this guy made a video "debunking" BadEmpanada and called Second Thought a breadtuber. Also I mean this guy. https://www.youtube.com/@MentisWave

To preface: This is not in defence of the EU. There will be no imperialist apologia in this post/question.

The push for EU exits is overwhelmingly right-wing in the majority of EU countries. We knew beforehand what the result of a move like Brexit would be like for the UK, especially for the material conditions of the working class, at the very least in the short-term, which was quickly confirmed by the situation we can currently see.

While no one can claim that the EU's supposed 'rule of law' and institutions have managed to curb the resurgence of fascism, as evidenced by the popularity of fascist rhetoric and political parties in most EU countries, it still worth noting that they strongly oppose the EU nonetheless.
However minimal, right-wing and fascist parties are limited by the EU in their desired expression of xenophobic, queerphobic, abelist, anti-immigrant, and other generally hateful policies where marginalised people are used as scapegoats. Limitations they would very much like to be rid of.

The push for Brexit-style EU exits is an overwhelmingly right-wing project, where leftist anti-imperialist anti-EU voices are reduced to the fringes or are completely unheard of. The aftermath of the success of such a project, while it would weaken the EU, is shouldered by the most vulnerable, most marginalised groups of the working class in such countries. Immigrants, people of colour, the LGBTQ+ community, unhoused people, etc. who now have a fully unchained rabid dog going after them.

I thus pose the following questions:

In the pursuit of weakening the EU by voting 'leave' in Brexit or a Brexit-style referendum in Europe, knowing that it's overwhelmingly supported by right-wing and outwardly fascist movements who will be in power:

  • Are we offering up the working class of imperialist countries, especially those who are most vulnerable and marginalised, as sacrificial lambs?
    • Is it an unavoidable fate in the fight against imperialism?
  • Are the working class of imperialist nations perceived as a sort-of global bourgeoisie in the global north/south relation?
  • Is it always strategically correct for the left to back such movements even when they're under the overwhelming control of right-wing and fascist groups who will inevitably rise to power in the aftermath?

I am probably very wrong in multiple areas of my conception and analysis here so please do not hold back on calling them out.

Who is Ber Borochov? (lemmygrad.ml)

The more I learn about the weirder his ideology is. He is a "Marxist Zionist" to say the least.

So, basically last year I used Turbotax. This year I am using my banks financial service for taxes. I am both not allowed to access last years transcript because I need a QR code to sign into my account because it uses a phone number I don't have anymore. OR the same thing applies with my banks financial service because they both use ID.ME.

Has anyone had this issue? Is there straight up a service I can use that bypasses asking for last years transcript? Only other option I have is a local tax-man parasite.

I have seen a post about the communist parties in Germany and thought I'd ask the same question about Austria.

I know there is the KPÖ with its complicated history and nowadays a euro-communist stance with heavy focus on local/regional work in housing and social topics. I read in a reddit post, that the youth organization (KJÖ) is much more marxist-leninist oriented and that they are trying to bring the KPÖ on that line again.

Then there's the PdA. I heard they are actually marxist-leninist but kind of dogmatic and you don't see much of them if you don't search by yourself. They are part of the European Communist Action. That's a positive point i guess..

I'd like to contribute in a meaningful way, also i like to discuss about theory and learn to speak theory in a coherent way with people who are yet to be educated.

So, what to do?

I'm looking for some insight and opinions on the German communist parties, specifically the DKP and the MLPD. Thought u guys might know some stuff, especially the German comrades.

Isn’t the worst socialism still better than the best capitalism? Why try to destroy “revisionist” socialism when you have capitalism to destroy? Wouldn’t it be easier to fix a revisionist socialist country than trying to convince a capitalist one to be socialist?

There's lots of options, but I'm a little concerned with such myths like in 'Enemy at the Gates' and I don't know if that has penetrated literature, so I want the most accurate books, books can be anything, military theory, tank design, history, etc.!! I just want to read :)

Especially if you're politically active and they might see you at demonstrations

So the communist party only accepts the most advanced elements of the proletariat, people with the highest class consciousness. How does the party educate the rest of the population if it is that picky with who they let in?

I was told that the difference between the Bolsheviks and the Menscheviks was that the Menscheviks let anyone join, but the Bolsheviks only let people with advanced class consciousness join. How does that give popularity to a party if it is so exclusive?

I was recently in a conversation with a self-described MagaCommunist who held the position that the primary contradiction in the USA was that the financial owning class owned all of the means of production and that the contradictions of settler colonialism were secondary and could only be resolved through a workers' state.

I realized that I hold the position that settler colonialism is the primary contradiction in the USA, but I also found that I struggled to articulate it effectively. I'm looking for your own thoughts or writings that I can study to learn more on this topic.
