    Never has there been so much talk about democracy as there is today, and yet true democracy is not practiced in any country. Democracy is only a screen covering up the dictatorship of capital. Even before the war, the conservative English writer Fullerton called France a “financial monarchy.” Capitalism exploits democracy because this form makes it easier to conceal its iron dictatorship. The government, parliament, and press are merely clerks, servants of financial and industrial groups and trusts.

    In his reply to Kautsky, who contrasted the proletarian dictatorship with “pure democracy,” Lenin emphasizes that one cannot speak of “pure democracy” as long as there are clearly defined classes. There is only class democracy. “Pure democracy is a false phrase used by liberals to fool workers. History knows bourgeois democracy, which replaces feudalism, and proletarian democracy, which replaces bourgeois democracy.”

    The history of the 19th and 20th centuries, even before the war, showed us what the much-vaunted “pure democracy” under capitalism really is. Marxists have always argued that the more developed and “pure” democracy is, the more open, brutal, and merciless the class struggle becomes, and the more obvious the oppression of capital and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. The Dreyfus affair in republican France, the bloody reprisals of the capitalist-armed mercenary army against striking workers in the free and democratic American republic, — these and thousands of other similar facts reveal the truth that the bourgeoisie tries in vain to hide, namely, that even in the most democratic republics, terror and the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie reign supreme, manifesting themselves openly whenever the power of capital seems to be losing ground.

    The imperialist war of 1914–1918 proved once and for all, even to the backward workers in the freest republics, that genuine bourgeois democracy is a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. Tens of millions of people were killed to enrich German and English millionaires and billionaires, and a military dictatorship of the bourgeoisie was established in even the most free republics.

    «Чистая демократия есть лживая фраза либерала, одурачивающая рабочих. История знает буржуазную демократию, которая идет на смену феодализму, и пролетарскую демократию, которая идет на смену буржуазной».

  2. "La ciencia es producto del trabajo humano; en lugar de el trabajo de mentes elevadas que piensan en ideas sin base en el mundo real, sirve para desmitificar la ciencia. [..] puede (debe) usarse para recuperar el papel del conocimiento popular y hacer que la ciencia camine sobre dos patas para servir mejor al pueblo."

  5. In this video we focus on the concept of 'social murder' as outlined by Friedrich #Engels in his 1845 book "The Conditions of the Working Class in England"

    Then we move onto the media and internet reaction to the murder of CEO Brian Thompson, the folk hero status of our man #Luigi, and a general critique of insurance and society from a #workingclass, #proletarian perspective.

  6. On a work trip to #japan my wife brought me back a pretty cool #poetry collection by #postwar #japanese #proletarian #poet Kondo Azuma (近藤東). A graduate of Meiji University, Kondo joined the Railway Ministry and lived in Shanghai for 27 years. After the war he led the Labor Poetry movement, and this book, Fuzoku (the sex trade) is dedicated to his coworkers at Japan National Railways. I came across his poetry in a paperback compilation.

  8. "when someone in the imperial core or their org self-describes as “#Marxist-Feminist” or “#Proletarian #Feminist”, what they actually mean by that >99% of the time is:

    “we can use the bourgeois cops, prison system, and deportations to Protect Women. we campaign for bourgeois reforms to more intensely harass, surveil, incarcerate, fine, and deport sex workers. our org also works directly with police and feds for propaganda/messaging purposes, mutual training and building of ‘expertise’, and identifying specific targets to raid and people to arrest”

    it's one thing to fall for this a couple times and wrongly take such self-descriptions at face value in good faith

    but after a certain point it's actually your fault if you don't notice what they overwhelmingly mean by “Marxist-Feminist” or “Proletarian Feminist” and you continue being credulous toward these people"
