Commie general
| i dont want this
| Is danger/u/ really the best place to discuss politics? I say that as an actual communist. ^^'
| The "explain yourselves commies" thread was pretty good.
| Which topics do you guys usually enjoy on \new\?
| >>382236 reports on riots or the state in general from countries the popular media tend to ignore. I have hardly read anything about Venezuela or India from the official news. I think about such things a lot but there's hardly any info unless you know people.
| >>382152 always hear people be like "this isn't the best place to discuss politics" but where the fuck are you supposed to discuss it? In the basement? In your echo chamber? Where?

Maybe you have no good news sources. There are good publications, but they drown in a sea of irrelevant information.
Unfortunately the media-landscape (as well the whole public discourse) is pretty much dominated by conservatives and (neo-)liberals. Everything seems to be limited to identity politics, boulevard news and entertainment.
It's because capitalists are afraid that if public discourse leaves the frame of capitalism, people may start questioning it in general.
| What is interesting is, that the "new-" or "alt-" right managed to construct an "anti-establishment" image for themselves, which is nothing but masquerade, since their prominent leaders and supporters belong to the establishment.
On the other side there is a deep crisis of liberalism, which became too optimistic about the supremacy of the capitalist system as a guarantor of a free and open society after cold war. Now we see all over the globalized world that this is not the case.
| >>383118 it's kinda sad to see social class of people who voted for labour parties in the 1960 to now vote for alt right groups in Europe.

I wouldn't say it is "sad" as in a tragedy. It's fucking annoying to watch this, since it's just a farce. All of this already happened in history. It's no "new" or "surprising" phenomenon, like the liberal and conservative media want to tell us (which actually supports the far-rights self representation).

How do I mean this?
Just look what happned in germany after the great war.
The success of the nationalist, racist and antisemite "Nationalsocialists" (=Nazis) in democratic elections was only possible because they seduced the working class as mass basis with simple slogans based on lies which originally were a creation of the bourgeois society. Also lots of conservative and capitalist loosers were turned on by the nazists anti-socialism/anti-communism.

| Since the rule to stay on topic got added I thought a general thread for all things commie would be helpful. The commie g/u/rls here can just keep making new commie generals when the old one dies so everyone's happy!
