Marx is not dead
Capital, like all things, evolves, and if you do not evolve your tactics with it, you will lose the battle. Take the Native Americans, for example. They were loyal to the arrow and lost to the men of the powerful musket. The men of wheat and milk were crushed by the industrial industry. Capital at the time of Marx and Engels “still appeared as an isolated island encircled by a sea of independent farmers and craftsmen which covered the whole world.” - Ernest Mandel. Marx did, in fact, predict that capital would fall into a state of despair, take the incomprehensible nonsense of the Culture War, Just another spectacle to distract the proletariat. The Italian Workerists, Communizers, and Situationists saw that capital had evolved. The 21st-century Empire, The Society of the Spectacle, etc. Look from the bourgeoisie perspective if they want to keep themselves in power, you got to evolve capitalism to keep up with the dirty communists. Us Communists need to find new ways to combat capital, we cannot stay with the same tactics of fighting capital(i.e Trade unions, Revolution, Parties) those fields have been taken over by capitalism and will lead nowhere only towards failure to achieve communism. I’m also not saying that reform is the way to achieve communism, even during the early days of Marxism it was shown that reform is impossible, it’s laughable that anyone would think that’s even a option, Reform will make capital stronger I tell you! Revolution was for another time, the time of the cannons and bayonets. The revolution for CAPITALISM not Communism/Marxism. The bourgeoisie bid to win power against the holy lords and monarchs of the feudal realm, to create a new world order so to speak. Revolution will create a new ruling class just look at what happened with the Bolsheviks, they made a new ruling class, a bureaucratic ruling class which still oppressed my fellow proletariat. But I propose something different, Insurrection. This Insurrection doesn’t involve hierarchy like revolution does, it is for yourself, your self liberation, abolish your status as the proletarian. The State is controlled by Capital, Most if not all politicians are bought by capital to do it’s bidding the state is the mask the bourgeoisie uses to hide itself and point fingers at, Capital is the puppet master of the state. The politicians under control of capital become apart of the spectacle and give up freedom, Politicians become a use-value to serve “The People” which is really just another useless term to make proletarians feel like they have power in reality, capital is really in control. We should not fall for this(or any other) trick if we want to win against the bourgeoisie, we must curse these lies into the eternal abyss. Down with the state I say! The state will naturally create itself a new ruling class this goes back to what I said about the Bolsheviks, Bureaucratic or Capitalist still oppresses the proletariat. The spectacle grows, everyday more and more fall for it, more and more join the spectacle and give up there individuality and freedom to serve this god called capital, these “role models” have fallen into its trap, I pity them much. We must not tolerate this it will lead to again, obedience to capital and fail to achieve communism. Marx warned of the spectacle(although not directly because at the time it didn’t exist at the time). The Marxist-Leninist don’t understand that commodity production is one of the biggest threats to communism and one of its’s greatest potestas. They just see it as a necessity during the transitional state or dictatorship of the proletariat. Well I don’t think the transitional state is necessary anymore! Such horrific thinking! These “Orthodox” Marxist will call me a traitor to Marxism, well if we want Marxism to survive and even succeed this century we have to update are views don’t we? All I have left to say is Marx is not dead.
