The Lingering Appeal of Trotskyism

Brilliant!

( O )( O )


Wish it were mine. Found it and shared. Second best, but good nonetheless.


These two eastern front books I'm reading ATM are pretty fascinating. Oddly enough, the Germans still have a horse cavalry themselves. People bought the narrative the the whole army was mechanized, and that's what they wanted the west to believe. Horses still pulled the wagons and big guns. To the tune of 1000 dead horses per day. Their horses died in the winters, so they rustled Russian horses - they could be trusted as politics isn't an equine trait - because they were more suited to the climate. Most horses died from artillery and aircraft.


Then there were the bomb tank-killer dogs . . . .
 
Nor to the capacity of brain-dead Trumpies to spout ridiculous nonsense.

Despite the best efforts of the most qualified and polemically adept summiting teams on the right, the lofty heights of absurdity established by the American left remain unconquered, even by the most talented of Trump supporters.

I expect this comment to be censored or otherwise messed with

You obviously have never read anything serious about American labor history.

James R. Hoffa stated that while he never shared their ideology, the Trotskyists who created the modern Teamsters union were the most brilliant labor organizers this country ever saw.

9:00 here, doof.


Guess Minnesota was tricked into this.

Are you dyslexic or just dumb? The people I mentioned -- Engels, Trotsky, Mussolini, Franco, Tito -- were not men who could have succeeded in other fields. They were men who succeeded very well in other fields.

Engels was the richest manufacturer in England. Trotsky was a brilliant author and journalist. Musso was a successful socialist and nationalist journalist. Franco was a very efficient military officer. Tito was a notable veteran of the Habsburg military.

They were not failures.

Andreu Nin, murdered by Stalin, was the leading Catalan essayist of his time.

Camillo Berneri, murdered by Stalin, was a brilliant philosopher.

Walter Benjamin, ditto, one of the greatest intellectuals of the century. You and your ass-out panhandling hoodrats on ShitPsychotica Mediocrita want to spit on him? Be my guest. Millions of grad students will spit on you. Except they'll never hear about you.

Obviously a rutabaga like you will never have heard of Jean van Heijenoort. Trotsky's main secretary in exile. Appears in the movie STAVISKY. Tracked by the Russ; the only leading Euro Trotskyist who was spared murder. Became the editor of the works of Kurt Gödel. I know you never heard of him. They don't discuss Gödel in the gamer arcade.

Here's a roster.


Add to it the names of Marx's best biographer (very critical) Otto Rühle, and Victor Lvoviç Kibalçiç, pen name Victor Serge. Wrote books. People read them in many languages.

Books. Heard about them? "Lit" usually refers to them.

Look, I'm a ho. I give blowjobs and rent out my sweet, smooth pussy. I want people I connect with to feel good. So here's a suggestion: tell BigTitsBitch a subject you know something about and I don't know anything about. Say, how pigs' knuckles are pickled. Or how to disassemble a motorboat engine. Maybe a review of books by Erle Stanley Gardner.

Because honey, my ex, i.e. my former male self speaks Russian, worked with CIA at a level where you don't apply to work for them, they come to you with an offer, organized union workers, and participated in armed struggles you wouldn't go near.

I'm as far above your pay grade as the Sun is from Pluto.

BTW, the smell of the innocent dead is unforgettable. I don't know about dead soldiers or guerrilla fighters. I know about dead civilians. Mom. Dad. Grandma. The kids. The newborn great grandkids. The dog. The cat. The farm animals. The man in the street who was passing by and saw something he wasn't supposed to. The woman in the store who was too young and pretty for the terrorists to pass up.

I have mentioned that I know a lot about dead workers in industry.

Let me add that whatever the judgment of history the revolutionaries of the classic European, American, Latin American, Asian, and African traditions were geniuses. Those who dismiss all leftists as stupid are projecting.

What happened to communism was a tragedy. What happened because of fascism is a crime. The same crime that led you and millions of others in this country to a disembraining.

Support DJT. Biden is too smart for you.

So let's do this. You talk about sports teams and I'll talk about Bolsheviks.

Because I love getting my ass fucked but I don't respect people who talk out of their ass. I speak 10 languages, 6 of them fully fluently. Ass isn't one of them. No ATM!

On 18 July 1936, 88 years ago, the lions of the Spanish anarchist movement led by the immortal Durruti and Ascaso seized weapons from the military and a prison ship in Barcelona. They began fabricating homemade explosives and literally creating armored cars. They were joined by members of the armed police. They beat the fascists.

They believed in libertarian communism.

They weren't stupid.

When America has collapsed in total ruin we will rebuild it. We carry a new world in our hearts.

Be not afraid.


Nothing sexier than a well-tailored terrorist.

Karl Marx had two valid insights. First, the natural tendency of capitalism is to accumulate wealth and income at the top. Second, partly as a response to this capitalism has increasingly serious economic downturns.

President Franklin's New Deal countered these insights, and built the most prosperous working class the world had ever known. American workers always had higher standards of living than Soviet workers, and much more freedom.

Beginning with the Reagan Administration, Republicans have reversed the reforms of the New Deal. As a result wealth and income again accumulate at the top. Recessions are longer and deeper.

Marx was mistaken about everything else. His most serious mistake was to ignore the nationalism of the working class.

Lenin and Trotsky never had anything to say worth considering. They both claimed to speak for the working class, but neither worked in a factory a day in his life.

You have never read a word of Marx or Lenin or Trotsky. The issue of accumulation at the top of the system, and the phenomenon of economic cycles, come from Adam Smith and every other serious economist down to Alan Greenspan. Try a little Friedman. Or Hayek.

You are writing Ass. As I said, I speak 10 languages, six with full fluency. Ass isn't one of them.

I like men who fuck my ass. I don't like having to try to figure out what AssSpeakers are attempting to say.

I'm a poet. Not a speech therapist. I studied linguistics and worked with Chomsky. We never discussed AssSpeaking and its dialect, farting.

ESL courses are free at any community college. They also often offer courses in Russian history.

So Trotsky was wrong to call for antifascism while the KPD helped Adi take power?

As I say, a GED is worth having, and ESL will make you a better person.

No, I know what it is. Like the click languages of the Bushmen. I don't speak it. Butt since everybody has an ass, AssSpeaking should be easier than it is. Having an IQ over two digits seems to be a problem. Though I don't much believe in IQ.

Do the Republic a favor. Tell that deranged pottymouth who attacks both of us that it's good to be American.

Some people haven't been out of the country to see what the rest of the world looks like, so they have no understanding or respect for what they do have.

I spent 30 years of my life based in Amsterdam and investigating human rights violations in former communist lands.

I speak many languages and am published in 10.

I know exactly what we had here. The Dems sold out the working class and let Putin establish a neofascist regime with The Rapist in the WH.

Now that we've settled that you cannot answer me, here's the money shot:

How did the Party of Reagan become the Party of Putin?

I first said in 2016 that I would have to establish a business called Tumbrils R Us. Free rides!

There was a rumor that FDR made Packard give the senior car model dies to Stalin because he was such a fan. Whereas ZIS did plagiarize a lot of the Packard 180 for the WW2-era model, there are a lot of boring Buick elements in it, too. I think the Packard Motor Car Company left the dies out in the weather for 4 years and they got ruined. No matter, because the Clipper was a better model anyway.


I'm really ambivalent about the AK. I originally thought is was a direct rip-off of the Sturmgewehr-44, but further examination said no. Influenced some, yes. The damned thing works in the Soviet manner. The Israelis pirated bits of it for the Galil because the AK is least finicky in their environment. I thought that was interesting.


Oddly, my mother says that she thought to herself sometime in the late 40s that the USSR could make it to the next century. Her conclusion was more based on intuition than observation, but something about it/them didn't make sense to her. She didn't write it down so there's no proof but her word.


e/t/a: their ammo works!!
Herzen warned that Russian socialism would produce Chinggis Han with a telegraph.

Trotsky called Stalin Chinggis Han with a Packard limo.

Putin is Chinggis Han with the Internet.

Somehow, I always suspected that Pater Chinggis had more moral compunction than either of those two.


The Cossacks rode for the Wehrmacht. That riding needed doing and that they (Cossacks) already knew their way around was of great help. They looked at it not has helping the invader but that the invader was helping them. As they had local horses who did much better in local weather, specifically local winters.


Iosef told the party he was an orphan, but he kept his mother nicely situated in a lovely dacha down south. Kind of like confusing the world on his real birthdate. Always keep 'em guessin'.
 
Despite the best efforts of the most qualified and polemically adept summiting teams on the right, the lofty heights of absurdity established by the American left remain unconquered, even by the most talented of Trump supporters.
The only talents Trump supporters show, aside from a few misguided individuals, are:

Killing innocent Americans through covid non-recognition.

Promotion of treason to fellate Putin.

Promotion of neo-Nazism, leading to the murders of Heather Heyer and others. In line with Stalin-Putin ideology.

Lying to fellate Putin.

Torturing children to excite the KKK and make Putin think Americans are stupid animals who want to act like the Russ.

Lying to Bibi. To fellate Putin.

Here's my fave: trying to ban and suppress @ntifa.

In heaven, Lincoln weeps. GOP: Government of Putin.

So. Mr. Guide: the left is an easy target for you. You attack curricula but I doubt you can name or describe a single one of the volumes to which your lynch mob objects.

You can't or won't answer my question: how did the Party of Reagan become the Party of Putin?

There is little or no respect for me as a person here. But let me put my feelings about this as bluntly but calmly as I can:

I was raised as an American Communist.

I was a fanatic but as a youth I belonged to the Khrushchev faction favoring reform. I was also, secretly, patriotic. I've held a lot of secrets: the boy was rilly a girl; the Communist was rilly an American patriot; the atheist was rilly a believer.

Now I'm out. A female, patriotic American and intense religious believer.

Long ago I was on track for a $200k p.a. job as a member of a Communist-controlled waterfront union. It still exists. It organizes boycotts on U.S. military aid to Israel. To Gitmo for all of them.

I decided I was a poet first and supported dissidents behind the Iron Curtain.

For my own reasons I broke with the Communist tradition and went to work for CIA.

They wanted me. I didn't necessarily want them.

This was in San Francisco.

I and my family were ostracized from literary and political life.

I and my Big Domme, who works for Marty Scorsese, were driven apart for years.

My son was harassed.

My father, one of the first publishers of Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and a friend of Henry Miller, was hounded to suicide. In America. Because of my political decision.

I risked my life and, literally, my booty, for the right of permanent adolescents to post guff like yours on the Internet.

I have proven my willingness to face rape, torture, and murder for my country. The USA. None other.

I despise DJT and all who serve him -- many of who, like Sam Nunberg, I knew personally.

From Ferlinghetti to Nunberg. The fall of an American family. I'm not proud of that.

And you? Mr. Rashid? That's the Arabic term ffir the Rightly-Guided.

Did you serve? If so, special thanks. If not: my father and his two brothers all were decorated with the Purple Heart. My bro is professional military. He's better than me. At least on that issue.

The idea that the left controls America is as infantile as the idea that the stork delivered you to your mom.

The Dems are lipstick libs. They love drag queens because they are political drag queens.

Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Ca) is a traitor who deserves a trial. No further comment.

In a country where Barbara Lee and Tulsi Gabbard are considered respectable, why shouldn't I have some fun getting my long-neglected boobies and pussy used and abused by the working class you and your Putin posse betrayed?

"the most prosperous working class the world had ever known"

Had? Has? Ever heard of this place called Western Europe? Like, Germany, The Netherlands, Scandinavia?

As I say: hate socialism? Fine. It failed. Social democracy doesn't. Buy a Benz, built under socialist labor laws.

Hitler took away the workers' right to strike but never touched health insurance or social security. Evil but not as stupid as our American
rulers.

In my view if you aren't a BIPOC or LGBTQ you should be circumspect about any other experience than your own. Not PC, just respect.
To the millionth power re labor.

The Ludlow Massacre occurred on Hitler's birthday. Interesting coincidence, I'd conclude.
