A lot of that can be blamed on them bowing to usa's demand that they recalculate the value of their currency. (the same thing they are trying to pressure China to do)

Yeah. It does get annoying when people have to put their anti-communist brain worms on display unprompted. Its a side effect of the success of the congress for cultural freedom.

When our time comes we will make no excuses for the ~~terror~~ injecting good politics into everything.

So the Bondi shooters were wahhabis and even the MSM are admitting it... So I'm like 99% sure it was a false flag.

The weather is bonkers here too. Its early summer and a big Fly Agaric mushroom popped up on the side of the driveway a couple days ago. Like sometimes a cold snap in spring will make them show up but mostly they are a late autumn-winter thing.

They don't even need to do that they can just declare a trade embargo on usa and any intermediaries that attempt to circumvent that ban. Its completely legal under international law and as the largest importer of Venezuelan oil is a reasonable response to being denied their right to trade.

If we can’t raise class consciousness (unless I’m mistaken here, but for Germany this is definitely not the case.), neither can we do it through culture, then how do we get people mobilised?

Its not that it isn't possible to raise class consciousness, it is that agitation is very slow going and likely you will likely never see the results even if they do happen. Agitation is planting a seed of class consciousness and it can take years to sprout and only if the soil it falls in is properly prepared by suffering and exploitation. Its not easy because the material conditions aren't ripe but that doesn't mean it can't work or wont work. It takes time but the capitalists can't help but push the conditions into our favor. (due to the tendency for the rate of profits to fall, the need for capitalists to exploit workers increases over time.)

You are expressing a fear of losing to the fascists which is very understandable but sadly I don't think that can be helped. For most of the imperialist nations the revolution is likely on the other side of fascism. Its like what George Jackson says in Blood in my Eye:

Lenin, Guevara and Fanon, all in their particular fashion, postulate that before revolution can take place, all other forms of redress must be exhausted, clearly exhausted. Electoral processes must have broken down, the confidence of the electorate in any of the old forms must be completely shattered, confidence in the ability of the old system to honestly organize any aspect of public life shaken to the core.

Revolution is born from suffering and exploitation. The people need to feel they have nothing to lose, that risking death is only a little worse than things going on as they are. Fascism offers "easy" "solutions" before the ethnic majority are at the breaking point. They will likely try fascism before risking everything on socialism. If you want to be effective maybe forget German working class people and go talk to immigrants?

You also seem to be expressing a feeling of urgency which is again understandable but it sounds like you are allowing that urgency to push you into making compromises or trying to get the ball rolling before knowing how to get it going in the right direction. You are thinking too big.

Communism will win, regardless of anything you do or anything that happens. Even if humanity goes extinct the next intelligent species will eventually discover upon scientific socialism just like they will discover the laws of gravity. So just take a deep breath and do what you can, Agitation. "capitalism is the cause of all your suffering" tell anyone who will listen. "Your problem is not 'the Jews' or immigrants it is the billionaires." Mostly you will be ignored but if you say it a thousand times that's a thousand chances to make an impact.

You aren't going to single-handedly come up with a new theory of Marxism that turns Germany over to socialism overnight. Start by joining or forming a Marxist study group. If you can't organize 2 or 3 people to read Marx and Lenin together developing a new theory of reaching the German working class is just a pipe dream.

Anyone who doesn't see Class as the primary contradiction is not a leftist.

There are many small regional cultures in Germany but there is no unifying culture, apart from maybe Vergangenheitsbewältigung.

The tactics of marxism change but the strategy and goal never does. A cultural taboo can change in less than a generation, there is nothing permanent in culture. The culture of Germany will not shed capitalist ideas until generations after the revolution. You cant do things the other way around because the capitalist control the intellectual and cultural means of production.

Germany is very far from proletarian revolution and it has a severe deficit of class consciousness like all western nations. You don't counter that by choosing to foster false consciousness because that will end up with a false revolution like the 3rd reich.

It is our job to raise class consciousness because doing anything else will not give us correct results. We do need to reach out to workers but we don't do it by indulging in nationalism or identity politics. We stand with those oppressed by capitalism whoever they are but until the reactionaries and nationalists are feeling the weight of their oppression they will not listen to us regardless of whether we appeal to their culture or not. We know exactly what happens you mix reactionary ideas into socialism.

People are not turning reactionary in this thread. You speak very arrogantly and authoritatively while making very basic errors. People are reacting to your egotism they are not "turning reactionary." I've seen how other people are talking to you and it is well deserved. I can't tell if you are a really good troll or a really confused comrade.

Dialectical materialism is a personal process for understanding changes. It is not a method of debate. When you start with a flawed thesis you cannot perform dialectical materialism correctly. You don't get to throw dialectical materialism around like a shield from criticism. When someone points out an error in your thesis you can not just change your thesis and keep the same synthesis. If you add salt instead of sugar don't expect it to come out as cake.

I will say this again Fanon does not apply to germany or france. Fanon writes from perspective of the colonized. There are plenty of books about communist revolution in the developed nations. Marx seemed to think that is where socialism would come from but he was wrong.

It is not Chauvinism to understand that different societies require different forms of socialism due to their different material conditions. The difference between China and Germany is that China's communist revolution started in a semi-colonial semi-feudal society. That is what "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" means it means socialism adapted to the material conditions of China.

There is no line between "national consciousness" and nationalism. just like there is no difference between class consciousness and classism. The one is gives birth to the other. You cannot use nationalism or national conciseness as a basis for socialism because it is by definition exclusive and supremacist. It is a false consciousness.

This was one of the first books of theory I read. "the renegade Kautsky" made it sound exciting like a pirate adventure or something. Turned out it was full of withering, dunks. It opened my world up to the viscous and clever scolding that make Marx and friends so enjoyable to read.

No theory fits all times and places.

In Wretched of the Earth Fanon isn't ever talking about a proletarian revolution. It is only about anti-colonialist revolution. And he isn't laying out a step by step guide he is explaining what has happened in Algeria and other anti-colonial struggles.

Then there is the left party that loudly screams “all men are monsters” and “you now have to use gendered language to appease everyone.”

Liberals saying those things. Leftists understand that the primary contradiction is class.

and of course that is why people turn reactionary.

People are reactionary to start with they don't turn reactionary. What makes a person reactionary is the fear of change, the desire to maintain the status quo or return to a previous version of the status quo (often a fictional past).

“socialism with german characteristics”

It sounds like you are trying to reinvent National bolshivism. Do I need to remind you how the communists working with Nationalist worked out last time in germany?

There is no german culture without white supremacy christianity and capitalism because germany is only 150 years old. Forget culture, you can't use culture to bind a political project together because it is an ever changing thing. Defining what is and is not part of your culture is like nailing down your shadow. Culture is a construct of idealism not materialism.

Nationalism is a false consciousness, all it does is distract from class consciousness. Its fine if you can turn nationalists against a bigger foe in a colonial situation but they will always betray socialists because the colonizer will cut them a deal.If that deal has already been made (like how the bourgeoisie of Germany have sold out the workers for US$) the only thing you can do is try to raise class consciousness so that workers will fight the bourgeoisie who share their nationality.
