Oh look ad homs from a tankie.

It’s a common strategy for political and media operatives to support weak primary candidates in the opposing party.

I’m just gonna link a comment I made months back:

“The guy is clearly an idiot, maybe he means well but again that is irrelevant. This has Republican hit job written all over it from the get-go, I wouldn’t be surprised if Collins team found out about the tattoo (before he even decided to run) and directed “political technicians” to infiltrate his social circle and subtly nudge this guy to run, consequently becoming an unwitting accomplice to sabotage a genuine left-wing movement.”

For America’s adversaries and the Dark Enlightenment who financed Trump, it’s the best decision. Elements within the Trump admin have the stated goals of dismantling democracy, destroying the economic world order, and collapsing civilization. These people supported Trump because of the absolutely shortsighted, selfish and stupid decisions he would make.

His ideas have influenced people in the Trump admin unfortunately, it’s likely where they got the notion of shifting the world order to a multi-polar one.

The video, since you didn’t watch it, explains how Dugin and the Dark Enlightenment align insofar as destroying liberal democracy and the West.

It’s not pro Russian, fuck Russia, either watch the video before commenting or stfu.

15 year old video, unlikely to come up in anyone’s algorithm.

It basically discusses Duverger’s law and why first past the post voting is not a good system.

You could have watched the video for context, gained a better understanding of the system and what needs to change. Ignorance is not a strength.

Vance is Dark Enlightenment, the plan going in was Trump to serve as chaos agent to dismantle democracy and then scapegoated (mimetic theory) after the destruction was complete. Vance would then step in to “rebuild” a utopian society from the ashes as Peter Thiel envisioned. The presupposition here is that democracy is effectively ended, it’s not working as planned and they would hold off until after midterms before impeach/25th Trump to maximize success in establishing whatever technofeudal dystopia they’ve decided on.

These media sources are moderately to strongly biased toward liberal causes through story selection and/or political affiliation.  They may utilize strong loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes), publish misleading reports, and omit information that may damage liberal causes. Some sources in this category may be untrustworthy.

Historical materialism is unfalsifiable, it’s in the same category as praxeology. Junk science.

Marx version of conflict theory is similar to the claim that the sun revolves around the earth, inadequate.

The old theories are obsolete, the modes of production replaced by modes of representation. No matter how much you pray and recite your holy scripture, paradise never comes. Marxist theory is as relevant as phrenology.

Any form of socialism is not feasible without human consciousness evolving into some kind of singularity. You’ve already contradicted yourself and betrayed the principles of Marxism by claiming the proletariat would dominate the bourgeois. If socialism is about the worker owning the means of production, there is no bourgeois class, except for the worker. In the real world, all you get is some type of authoritarian state capitalism.

Ahh yes, the proletariat rules over the bourgeois, but the proletariat are not smart enough to rule, so some enlightened elite must rule for them, let me guess, you? The closet aristocrat?
