  • Nerds in the Belgian gov apparently

  • "how a revolution happens" is not something you figure out on your own. it is "figured out" by the practice of a revolutionary workers party

  • sure, but we have no way of knowing what will be the context / needs of a future revolution. as others have said, you could look into soviet history, maybe something like the Cheka (чрезвычайная комиссия - emergency commission) that was tasked with preventing a counter revolution (it went through like 5 or 6 iterations). there were also Worker Peasant Militias that came from the Red Guards.

  • From what I've seen most modern socialist theory focuses on police abolition. Is that something you are looking for?

  • to me it becomes more clear if you think of in terms of ownership of means of production and class interests that arise from that. because petite bourgeois own their businesses, they will always be on the side of private property rights and against workers (small businesses also notoriously have atrocious working conditions). so it doesn't even matter to me if they have the potential to become big businesses / conglomerates.

    with that said, sometimes petite / national bourgeoisie can have a progressive character in certain contexts, but I would say definitely not in the US.

  • if the ladder is "ownership of means of production" then it sort of works.

  • i love love love July Rain and Courier

  • happy anniversary of the october revolution!

  • ive been manifesting gov collapse since summer 2024

  • I wouldn’t be surprised tbh. I don’t revere his economic analysis or anything. It’s just hard to find anyone at all working on economic planning theory.
