ITT "left wing classics" that actually perpetuate far right ideas

Hobbes was a proto-liberal.

thanks

Fucking this. All of leftism is one huge self-own desu

it's obviously not a good thing that the symptoms of abundance are listlessness and alienation, but it's childish to think that primitivism is superior to that

More like
>ITT left wing books appropriated by contemporary far right thinkers to give a sense of intellectual legitimacy to the Alt Right, which actually is completely bunk
Next you'll say that the Unabomber was a better leftist than Martin Luther King or something retarded like that

I never read that book because I don't want Yea Forums to laugh at me, even though I know there is some truth in it.

ITT: "I have never attempted to understand leftist thought outside of that one time I read the communist manifesto while half asleep and bored so I get all my knowledge of leftism from right wing memes about communists and capitalists being jews"

>dude, liberals are just fascists

Commentary on the Society of the Spectacle is basically a crypto far-right conspiracy theory.

Anything by Jean-Claude Michea, Christopher Lasch, Balzac, early Baudrillard, Michel Clouscard, Simone Weil, George Orwell, Celine, Georges Sorel, Pasolini, early Lukacs.

>This whole Jewish world, comprising a single exploiting sect, a kind of blood sucking people, a kind of organic destructive collective parasite, going beyond not only the frontiers of states, but of political opinion, this world is now, at least for the most part, at the disposal of Marx on the one hand, and of Rothschild on the other. [...] This may seem strange. What can there be in common between socialism and a leading bank? The point is that authoritarian socialism, Marxist communism, demands a strong centralisation of the state. And where there is centralisation of the state, there must necessarily be a central bank, and where such a bank exists, the parasitic Jewish nation, speculating with the Labour of the people, will be found.[81][82]

Bakunin was kind of based

Libshits mad that they don't have a trademark on ideas

When will self described rightwingers wake up and realize they're actually interested in socialism/anarchism?

Fascism is to liberal-capitalism as jihadists are to Islam

Why are more honest rightists more willing to draw ideas from the opposite camp then vice versa?

>Fascism is to liberal-capitalism as jihadists are to Islam
no?

Because the West is such a god damn mess right now and there's so little time that we need to be pragmatic

what are some right wing ideas that are worth considering

The Burkean social contract

When they read Marx's On the Jewish Question.

Because they're not Anglos.

And don't forget Hegel's On the Philosophy of Right, and his Lectures on History

Turns out it’s true.

Ah yes. The racist contingency are their undoing.
But they’d be right at home in a regionalist anarchist world. Left to their own devices, I think they’d probably putter out of existence like the Spartans. All inbred

Marx was a racist and an anti-semite. Why do you worship this man?

Because neoconservatism is a schizophrenic dumpster fire.

Wtf I love Marx now

The fact that poor people are garbage and need to be left to die

Marx lied to get the support of the working class.

Only the anglos hold to a firm left/right dichotomy. Don't ask me why.

This is personal correspondance though

1. I don’t worship any man
2. This private letter is taken somewhat out of context, as is the man in his times.
You can trot out Bakunin next and I’ll say the same. They didn’t kill anyone for the color of their skin or their particular faith or lack thereof

Aristocratic Theocracy

It's a private letter but thanks for proving that the proletariat is naturally reactionary and only bourgeois academics adhere to the Marxist idea that the proles need to live through their injustices in order to be led by a vanguard class of bourgeois into a soulless state capitalism.

The moment the left sided with the concept of progress is when they turned their backs on the proletariat. Very, very disgusting.

ITT: dumbasses perpetuate the right/left dichotomy on works by authors who didn't even believe in said dichotomy themselves. Debord was a marxist communist, and a better one at that than any soviet tankie because he actually READ and UNDERSTOOD Marx, Hegel, and so on

dumbass thread posted by a dumbass, backed up by other dumbasses. don't take the bait friens

This desu. The core is the same. The problem s materialism.

He opens Commentary on the Society of Spectacle with "Basically my last book only made things worse. I know secret service will read this book so I have to be very careful what I say...We're fucked."

You're right, Marx never described himself as a leftist. Why don't Marxists like yourself chimp out whenever someone labels Marx a leftist? It's only bad when the right-wingers do it?

Because your Marxist utopia isn't real or ever will be, until you change human nature. Humans are not going to just be creative and intelligent because Chosmky says that's "who we are". A society that allows humans to pursue whatever they want and allocates the resources to do say will become far more degenerate than any critiques of contemporary society.

Imagine implementing real socialism/anarchism with people like this namefag. It would swing back to a powerful state real fast.

because most Marxists are retard Leninists who don't read and think the best way to spend their time is by defending Holodomor and investing in Chinese stock to support "actually-existing socialism" rather than educating themselves on theory

amen

Burke was a poncy whig.

I’m not a Marxist.
“Human nature” changes with the changing social norms of the days. Technology is changing us this past generation, I’ve seen it, and it will continue to do so.

Never said you were, but I like to ask you whether you aspire towards a Marxist utopia? Any how, do you no disagree that humans have a nature, as moldable as it might be?

Let me guess, you're a snowflake ancom, something like Murray "Let's be bodyguards for America in Kurdistan" Bookchin?

LMFAO, you blue-haired crackers.

Right wingers are so stupid that they blame "leftists" for everything, but when they actually sit and read hardcore leftists, they love the stuff and claim the author to be right wing.

>it's childish to think that primitivism is superior to that
yikes

Gramsci is quite often quoted by right-wing academics, think about his idea of hegemony. But actually we don’t know how much of freely he could write while incarcerated

reminder that nationalism was such a stupid idea that no intellectual predicted that it would become so large

This can also be the case

>no intellectual predicted that it would become so large
>nationalism is stupid based on the failings of outside parties

Yeah these threads are made by Petersonite retards who are shocked when they actually read books and realize that leftist theorists from the 19th century weren't talking about tranny bathrooms
At least it implies that they're attempting to read the books, but I wish they wouldn't come to the dumbest possible conclusions from it

It’s is quite malleable and can certainly improve itself once it is set free. I aspire to achieve that freedom or aim us towards it. I’m sure authoritarianism won’t save the environment.

Haven’t read Bookchin yet. Seems reasonable. Read Wolff and Cockshott most recently. I’m Anarchist. Egoist-syndicalist, and open to change my mind.

you only need the first three words in your second meme arrow

so does europe, i'm not familiar with asia or latam, though, so i couldn't tell.

Because they're capable of recognizing that leftism isn't a total fucking scam, unlike modern conservatism

Surprised no one has mentioned this one yet.

Leftists invented Holocaust denial. Really makes you think.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auschwitz_or_the_great_alibi

unironically the most retarded thread on Yea Forums, even taking into account that there is one dedicated to butterfly

There is a great deal of memery going on with which camps were death or work camps. I haven't bothered looking into it much because I guess I just don't care really, but it wouldn't be exactly surprising if they were all just work camps and the death camps were propaganda. On the other hand I wouldnt be overly surprised if they did gas them either.

The far-right are just cuckslaves for the jews and ultra-rich class, they have no ideas of their own.

Because leftists are the ones that give coherent theories and analysis of society, the far right tends to simply disagree with left wing solutions.
But vice versa the far right does not produce any theory or framework of its own, only "solutions", the few right-wingers that did (Heidegger, Nietzsche, Schmitt...) certainly inspired many leftists

Meant for

>and are as free as they wish to do so
Who is free to do and consume as they wish? You still have taxes to pay, mortgages and loans to pay, you need money for food, living expenses, the things you want, the people you want, etc. You want something? You still have to work for it. Now people will, because they know they can get what they want eventually. Not so under other systems.

>the left cant be reactionary
lmao

What is this book about? Can someone give me a brief explanation?

>the Auschwitz concentration camp could not have been created as an extermination camp because the bourgeoisie cannot act without a profit motive and therefore this was a labor camp in which members of the middle class exploited and exterminated other members of the middle class, thereby enabling capitalists to accumulate wealth.[3] However, an actual reading of the text reveals that the existence of death camps were taken for granted and that the goal of the paper was not to deny death camps, but to explain why the bourgeoisie would view the extermination of Jews (and specifically Jews) as profitable. The text does not deny the horrors of the Holocaust

Holocaust revisionism is basically considered denialism

Ideas that appear on both sides of a dichotomy are above the dichotomy.

The right are so fucking stupid

This is genuinely what some liberals and right wingers believe

Based

He's saying it's had nothing to do with their Jewishness. He's diminishing the uniqueness of the Shoah. And he actually denies the death camps, they're labor camps for Bordiga.

It's pretty much Holocaust denial. Read the actual text instead of brainlet wiki which contradicts itself
> the Auschwitz concentration camp could not have been created as an extermination camp
> the text reveals that the existence of death camps were taken for granted

So, are they extermination camps or not? Bordiga, unlike the wiki, says they are not. Simply labor camps that had nothing really to do with anti-semitism.

If it quacks like Holocaust denial, and it walks like Holocaust denial, it's fucking Holocaust denial.

>As far back as 1985, Guy Debord observed: “We have made ourselves into Americans. It’s no surprise that we should experience all the miserable problems of the U.S.A., from drugs to the mafia, ‘fast food’ and the proliferation of ethnicities.”

This guy is on record praising the Hitler Youth, claiming ISIS is a creation of America and Israel because they're attacking Hezbollah, advocating that french zionists like Bernhard Henri-Levy get the death penalty.

Not to mention he follows a psychoanalytic (Lacan) who believes women are unable to articulate what they desire sexually.

Zizek is a right-wing conspiracy theorist.

i don't understand the leftist bickering itt. what does leftypol even want in 2019? what does neoliberalism not accomplish for you that communism would? why are you faggots so wishy-washy about the spectacle?

Modern leftists are absolutely terrified of the working class. Hence Corbynist cozy Quaker communism for disappointed college graduates who feel their rightful place in society as genderrific philosopher queens has been withheld from them.

imagine one of those shrill catlady professors being forced to pave roads God it would be based

Ashamed to admit I felt a (brief, passing) pang of sympathy for Pol-Pot just now.

The left is a pleb union

People who call themselves leftists fall into two categories:
-Liberals in denial who shitpost about Lenin and Mao but also want guns taken away and consider anybody mildly critical of trannies to be a fascist (typical antifa faggots)
-Angry Zizek types that realize their voice is forever drowned out by the defanged baby shit now considered "the left" and that capitalism will now go on unchallenged forever because its only opposition was successfully derailed into purity-spiralling nonsense
/pol/ types frequently make the mistake of assuming everybody discussing the left on Yea Forums is in the former group, which is why they just half-assedly yell about dilating instead of engaging. The truth is that nobody earnestly engaged in progressive identity politics spends a lot of time on Yea Forums, there's just too much sensory overload from all the concentrated bitterness for them to parse in large doses. Anyone on the left on Yea Forums is in the second group, which funnily enough tends to hate the first as much as everybody else.
To answer your question, neoliberalism accomplishes nothing that communism would. They are diametrically opposed. Neoliberalism is about expanding and simplifying markets (the real reason the fake-left pushes so hard on immigration and blending of cultures) and banal populist nitpicking to distract from the effects of globalizing.

so why communism?

I say those things to rub salt in your wounds and remind you how powerless you are in the general discourse. Even if you hate Thant group of people p, you inevitably will support them.

I'm not really a communist anymore. I'm disillusioned about any large-scale human enterprise. Original sin. Maybe that makes me an anarchist, I don't know.
>you inevitably will support them
Why is it inevitable? Because you don't know what lines to recite if I don't support them?

Ironically the exact same has happened to the "right". The neocon warmongers are about as representative of "rightists" as the neoliberal warmongers are of "leftists".

But it nevertheless remains true that even the "genuine" left/right inevitably become the cheerleaders for the D/R divide. At the end of the day /pol/ will vote R and /leftypol/ will vote D, even though both genuinely hate the thing they are voting for more then anything else.

lol brainlet you completely misunderstood

wew lad

>Linking to the wikipedia page rather than the text itself

Yep, you definitely wouldn’t want someone to read something and accidentally think for themselves instead of lapping up your bullshit.

the alt-right was a some far right meme movement that died once drumpf got elected

Well, we actually meet in pro-worker and anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist ideas, on our wings. The "horseshoe" does as much to minimize differences within the center as on the ends.

sickening isn't it

>It’s is quite malleable and can certainly improve itself once it is set free. I aspire to achieve that freedom or aim us towards it. I’m sure authoritarianism won’t save the environment.

So how exactly do you mold a nature in a society where you have thrown off all possible contraints and have absolute consential activity?

>alt-right
cringe and tranny-pilled

wow your really showing em bud!

lol very few people actually like Peterson on Yea Forums you're seeing a few meme threads and as a usual leftist exgerating it.

Organize to effect a positive change, community by community, till it spreads. One little aspect and the dominos fall into place.

lmao so activism is your solution to ensuring people in a society of absolute abundance and wealth will think critically and act the way you want them to?

kek

not national socialists :)

Activism? Pulling struggling communities together and prepping for economic collapse is organizing, not picketing.
>in a society of absolute abundance and wealth will think critically and act the way you want them to?
You’re not from the states, are you.

How is prepping for economic collapse in anyway going to lead to ancom utopia? You keep moving the goalposts with even more retarded claims lmao.

All ideas become commodities, co-opted by the System and sold back to you, delivered to your door by an Amazon drone. Your order of Kapital has been shipped.

How do you defeat an anti-fragile epitome of social evolution, intent on eating you and everything you love alive? Do you even know what you're dealing with? It incorporates everything, looks like everything, is everything.

If you cannot name the Jew your words are untrue.

It was probably not written by Bordiga himself though

> Why is it inevitable? Because you don't know what lines to recite if I don't support them?
Because the left will always side with itself against the right.

>I'm disillusioned about any large-scale human enterprise [...] Maybe that makes me an anarchist
Do you still want society to change or have you accepted it as a nuisance that can't be overcome?

This is accurate, but I don't vote anymore.
Mostly the latter. I just don't see any possible development where the general populace is moved to give enough of a shit about anything to change the unbelievably large and complex system in place. It's so decentralized and so firmly intertwined with every aspect of daily life that nobody knows where it ends and they begin. You can't cleanly kill that, and very few even want to.
I think the environment will catch up to us in the next century. My only consolation is that if we don't do a single fucking thing about it, we wholeheartedly deserve that end.

How? Was that poster not asserting that our society lets people consume what they want and do as they wish? Neither of those things are true.

>what does neoliberalism not accomplish for you that communism would?
A stateless, moneyless and classless society?
