"Resignations are rising because people are seeing more job listings, not because they’re feeling more Marxist."
All the recent union pushes are just coincidence... I guess.

Do you think it's possible to completely exterminate Marxism? like imagine the USA launching on an extensive de-Marxification of the entire Western Hemisphere and burning and destroying every single piece of even vaguely Marxist literature available, like a Manhattan level project at firmly entrenching capital for another 10,000 years. Just absolutely annihilating left wing thought, a police officer for every worker you know.
An inverted Maoism. Instead your personal cop will act as an ideological commissar to make sure you do not stray from the bounty of the free market. The de-Marxification will be complete, no one will ever complain about their job ever, EVER again
I imagine if this were to happen, assuming materialism (don't know if I'm using this right, I don't read) is 'true', someone else will come up with basically the same thing.
Edit: Looks like someone else gave basically the same answer a few seconds before me.
itll just pop up again under a different banner, like stomping on a spider egg sack and hundreds of little spiders crawl out from under your boot
okay so after Groucho-Marxism, we'll get to Barxism. They'll stamp that out, and we'll have Marks-Schism. A few mass killings here and there and that will be no more. We'll end up with something weird sounding like Larks Prism but by that point they'll be real tired of killing people and go home

That basically happened in Indonesia, and anarchism sprung up in its place. :shrug-outta-hecks:
uhhh, seems like it worked at keeping Indonesia a poor and right-wing country mostly? How big is anarchism there?
I have no numbers to give you. It has a presence unlike in most of the global south, is my understanding; they had some big protests a couple years ago and I could clearly see them in the pictures and videos (such as here ).
A poor substitute for the old communist party, but that could also be due to them having to start from scratch.
I'm just making the case that crushing Marxism ultimately only causes class conflict to manifest in other forms, rather than totally eradicating it.
It's a good example 👍
I think part of it is just that, like is often said by communists, you can't kill the idea (or "revolution"). Unless they completely isolated themselves from the world. And people have heard of communism no matter what, unless they killed every working age adult.
You can eliminate every book by Marx, you can suppress all forms of socialism and anarchism, you can atomise the workers until they're all contractors forbidden to talk to each other inside or outside the workplace.
But you cant eliminate the material conditions. The falling rate of profit is a bitch.
The workers will rise in conflict anyway, and capitalism will collapse anyway. The question is will the workers be organised enough to replace it, or will the collapse take down civilisation with it?
Marx failed to consider quantum workers.

This post slaps.
Eastern Europe basically tried to do something in this vein with destruction of Marxist literature printed in socialist times, banning of Communist parties and incessant propaganda. They were partially successful, and the more fash they went, the more successful.
marxism does a little hauntology for fun
I think they've already done enough of that
They've been doing it for years and guess what; shit doesn't work.
then when will this shit be gone? when will people stop being brainwashed capitalism-liking idiots? :yes-honey-left:
When the last :porky-happy: faces the :wall-talk:
