Socialism.

The social historical effort to replace property and dominance, demands an increase in the active practice of (working) people at the level of both rights and responsibilities:

1.

Regarding the administration of the separate economic units and the entire economy/production.

2.

As for the administration of each separate political and social institution and the set of social and political institutions.

--

The "property-dominance" nexus (even if it is defined as social "property-dominance") deprives the majority of society of the rights to actively manage material resources and institutional structures, but at the same time this means absolving the corresponding responsibilities and actions (for this majority).

The abolition of individual and oligarchic forms of "property-dominion" does not mean automatic ability and disposal of administration and management energy on the part of subjects deprived of (these properties) due to the pre-existing structure.

An unprecedented and very rapid training and practical undertaking of actions is required to immediately cover the gap that will be left by the non-existence of the previous structure.

A basic ideological and practical condition for covering the structural vacuum that will result from the abolition of individualistic and oligarchic institutions is a deep open and extensive democracy, which, however, will not be understood or acted as it is usually understood and acted (until now) by the radicals circles, as an inductive mass generalization of some form of direct democracy of local and workers' councils.

Democracy was and will remain a totality, which as made up of many small institutional "cells" does not stop having to function as a totality that must be directed as a totality in itself.

The democracy of the councils will again end up in a one-party dictatorship if it is not continuously subject to a large representative assembly of freely elected representatives who, although elected and immediately recalled, must constitute a solidly founded institutional body with critical responsibilities and powers.

The abolition of private ownership of the means of production and material resources.

The abolition of private ownership of the means of production and material resources necessary for the reproduction of human life, although a necessary condition for the transition to a socialist social and economic system, does not in itself constitute the fulfillment of all the conditions for there to exist this system.

When the original socialists and communists set this negative condition, most of them talking about the abolition of private ownership of wealth primarily through the abolition of private ownership of the means of production, they defined the new system by a positive term: social-public ownership of the means of production .

This is a false and alienating definition if we are talking about real socialism.

Socialism, if it is real and not bureaucratic, by abolishing individual property does not replace it with another property, since the term property itself is intertwined with a form of individual or oligarchic rule of the distribution of the production process and its products.

Socialism will only come if it means in practice the complete replacement of all ownership and appropriation by the collective management and self-management of all social affairs, equality of pay, the weakening and even the abolition of hierarchical divisions in their practice and management.

Αντιστροφή (9)

When you refuse to equate the (less-than-worst-of) evil with the worse-than-that evil, this does not mean that you identify the lesser evil with something that is thereby the better of that which is worse than it.

The lesser evil is not necessarily defined as something "better".

And in this way, which if you pay attention to it is not so difficult to understand, I choose the Western and not the non-Western world, as it is currently constituted as a world.

There is also a more positive form of what I just said, but I ultimately prefer the negative pessimistic form of choosing between dominant structures, because as a thinking citizen I must think as coldly as possible about evil and vice versa, i.e. without idealization.

Pussy Riot — MAMA, DON’T WATCH TV / МАМА, НЕ СМОТРИ ТЕЛЕВИЗОР

Thoughts

 
Some, not a few—perhaps most of the followers of the great (always maleish) Ideas— whose minute hand is stuck to a certain time-moment, they think, so pitifully, that when the time (of history) passes from this moment of time, they are vindicated!
---
 
Stop at last with the "truth" that will be revealed when the masks fall.
All the ideologues, this is what they proclaim, that they will drop the masks, that the masks will fall.
Sorry to upset you, but such truth does not deserve to be called truth, whatever forcibly threw off a mask with such a declaration wanted to build an eternal mask, so says the famous (Hegelian or not) History.
Waiting to drop the enemy's mask, when that enemy can no longer keep it on his face, you put your own mask on him, duplicated.
In short, anyone who claims that the crimes of the Soviet Union in the Caucasus, in the Ukraine, in its southern Russian countryside, from the time of Lenin, not only after, have no connection with Soviet Communism, from its inception onwards, and incriminates only the tsarists, who were and are now being burdened as neo-tsarists with equally inhumane mass crimes, one thing is, a Liar. 
Also Liar is who is -certainly- the liar who acquits the mass murderer Bandera (the Poles, who are now friends of Ukraine, they know, and they don't give their dead who were exterminated en masse by this fascist, to the lie).
So let go of the great truths, and see the guilt that all these great YOUR ''truths'' carry.

To Iranian Friends.
Be careful, get rid of the theocratic regime, without the Shah sitting on your head (again), and put the term "capitalist" as many times as you want on this regime, before you crush it or after.
Do your Marxist rites, cast your anti-capitalist curses, curse the West too, lest you sin of the great sin of pro-imperialism, it will be a shame to be maligned by your left-wing comrades in the West, though they neither care nor have strong feelings about you, nor did they show any remarkable solidarity towards your struggle, while some liberals I know, even right-wing ones, care about, while for your comrades you exist as "tea and sympathy", still at least, because if you take the power with the blood and sacrifice of youngs of Iran, well, then, even Varoufakis will visit the new Iran.

When masculine men question themselves, they make sure to do so to the accompaniment of a raucous brass band while write their autobiography at the same time.
Their pain and the self-destruction of THEIR BIG, ALWAYS BIG IDEAS, which also disappointed them and brought them to the brink of the abyss, must they are proclaimed throughout the universe.

The very masculine men who even call themselves "male A", make big premarital promises, but not only that, they also make big premarital Ideologies that promise that they will solve, after the marriage takes place, all the problems.
--
 
Putin promised his deranged drunken People that he would conquer Ukraine in 3-4 days.
I wonder how is found a woman, to marry this worthless man.
Girls beware, they are in all ideological families.
--
 
Masculine men promise everything but do little or less than what they promise, women promise little and do almost everything.

The ideal situation is not to choose an internationalpolitical master, the ideal is to be independent, like the fantasy of every right-wing or left-wing maleman, but I am not persuaded by men, I am persuaded by whores with guns.

If the "world proletariat", more specifically the proletariat of the East, does not do the job, the evil one wicked rogue western imperialism, will.
What a fuck, that's life.
--
 
I am to favor the full armament of the Ukrainian army.
Give the Ukrainians the more modern weapons.
I am for the completion of the war with the total defeat of the Russians.
I'm not a pacifist.
The Russian empire of the whip should finally be dissolved, that China should enter its middle-to-down place in the relations of power until it is democratized, that the state unity of Turkey should be broken, the theocratic regime of Tehran should be destroyed.

When I hear that "masks must fall", I think that you are trying to put on the mask of eternal truth, to you stick to us eternally over our heads.
--
 
The "Light from the East" today is pro-Western, and hates the fascist propaganda and act of "multipolarity".
--
 
The emergence of non-Western imperialism-capitalism as a would-be new super-pole of global Dominance is perfectly symmetrical with the emergence of neo-fascism within the Western imperialist-capitalist world.
End of story.
--
 
Until capitalism and social inequality are abolished, the West must have the most Power and Dominance on the planet.
I don't make fun of myself, nor my friends, when I take a position in politics.
--
 
What a fuck!
I will immigrate to the USA, to make a point to idiot comrades, we vote for Democrats, without Marxist sophistry!!
In fact, by voting for the Democrats, we are simultaneously voting against each of their "left wing", voting for their most aggressive centrist wing that wants to oppose directly the extreme right in the West, China, Russia.
Simple as that, no more bullshit.

Postscript.
To the Democrats themselves I would say:
Throw the far-left morons out of the store!
--
 
If the purpose is "holy" the means of its realization will always be "dirty", oh clever Marxists!!!
--
 
I answer with clarity to forced dilemmas, I don't resort to sophistry to answer only in practice but not in my Speech.
I will not answer your sophistry, dear Michael, I don't need Marxism to make a strategic ideological policy and value decision.
The lives of everyday people would be better without forced and negative dilemmas, but if you see the world through the eyes of these people, you must answer clearly, also through your Speech.

I am simple, straightforward, clear and honest with you.
If presented with a dilemma that must be answered, between imperialist West and imperialist East, I openly choose imperialist West.
The conclusion of a lifetime, along with other conclusions.
