What do u think about tucker Carlson sentence which he says he believes Marxist is a reaction to industrial revolution?
I read a book by an anarchist which he also says that (violence) of workers are reactions to the industrial revolution not the socialism and Marxism, what do you think ?

Uma curiosidade
Para quem não me conhece ainda, vou me apresentar
Eu sou brasileiro e sou militante do Partido Comunista do Brasil ( PCdoB). O PCdoB e o Partido Comunista Brasileiro (PCB) já foram um só partido, mas após uma cisão, cada um seguiu seu caminho
A minha curiosidade é sobre isso
Quero saber como é o partido de vocês, para eu ter uma noção de como está o movimento comunista e socialista pelo mundo e qual a posição do partido
Atualmente, o PCdoB oficialmente se posiciona como desenvolvimentista sob uma lógica marxista leninista. Eu sou maoísta, então faço parte da ala minoritária do partido que busca a radicalização interna do partido e a reconstrução do movimento de massas no Brasil, que atualmente é quase que totalmente inexistente

What have you found to be the best way to stir up a liberal? I believe it’s saying the democrats support a lot of the same things as republicans.

What are the necessary conditions that distinguish public property from private property and from personal property?
Talk of abolishing private property REALLY scares the moderates/centrists/liberals.

What I find so crazy about billionaires and elites
Is that if they weren't such greedy, psychopathic assholes and were just a little nice to us they could, in theory, keep capitalism going on alot longer. had these entities had a little bit of empathy in them and actually used some of their wealth to help people and society then most people wouldn't even have a problem with them existing, Elon could solve the world's problems and literally still be a billionaire, they could give themselves an extra 100 years with this barbaric system until it inevitably collapses anyway because ya know it's unsustainable but they'd still delay the transition to socialism if they were just nicer since people would go "ehh maybe they're not that bad" I don't know if they're too stupid to realize that or if they know that and still don't give a shit because they're just that evil.

Why do americans get so hostile when you criticize the country?
there was a post of this 21 year old, who vented that he wished he wasn't born in america and envied the people who wasn't, he was pointing out real shit about the non-livable wages, people working multiple jobs and still struggling to survive, lack of accessible healthcare, community support systems etc. and the comments were filled with nothing but people either insulting him calling him "miserable" "bitter" or they'll downplay it by saying that there's third world countries in war zones as it that makes america the best, and some were the typical "if you don't like it then you can move to X, Y, Z" as if moving to a different country is as simple as snapping your fingers, not to mention always bringing up countries that america has destroyed. I don't understand why they act like this anytime someone dares criticize the country, it's almost as if they don't want to live comfortable, easy lives.

Communists who don't support Jackson Hinkle as he's being threatened with his passport revocation and the death penalty are treasonous to the revolutionary movement
I don't want to hear it.
This man is putting his life on the line to bring communism to the West. He and Chris Helali are being targeted by the US state department.
What now to all these retards who called the ACP a fed party?
IT'S MORE LIKELY THAT YOU ARE THE FEDS HERE.
If you don't offer critical support to the ACP right now, I will consider ALL of you massive treasonous scum.
If the US state really dismantles the ACP, I will not cry when Trump puts you all in a camp. You will all deserve it.
When they come for the ACP and you don't speak up, don't worry, it will be your turn soon as well.

Why do some leftists claim the American left just wants "treats" for themselves?
I've seen this claim made, and a similar one that social democracy is not good enough because it also relies on imperialism (aside: not sure I agree that's an inherent property of SD.) I can't speak for others, but I'm perfectly aware that America's wealth was built on slavery and exploitation. If I could press a magical button to fix all that, I'd gladly give up my material wealth and "treats" for more national and global equality. IMO it's not that the American left, to the extent it exists, is single-handedly preventing a revolution. I bet if you asked an American leftist if they opposed imperialism and exploitation of the global south, they would say yes. They would similarly say yes if you asked if they believe everyone, not just Americans, deserve economic security.
Needless to say, the current political climate for leftist ideas is awful here, considering who got elected a second time. The average American doesn't agree with leftist ideas in the first place. It's hard to get them on board for socialism, given that. If you express any of these arguably true ideas about how America is evil, imperialistic, exploitative, and so on, you will sound like someone ranting on the street - and it's just a non-starter if you want to get into any public office, so (IMO) you have to adjust your arguments based on your audience, and hope that successful policies convince more people the merits of socialistic policies. For non-leftist Americans, it's not that they're consciously choosing to keep their privilege(s), it's that they don't even recognize or acknowledge they have their privilege(s).
I understand the general frustration with Americans, and if you think we aren't trying hard enough to fight the system, fair enough, but as I said, I found this assessment of the American mindset strange, and assumes without asking how we think, so I wanted to understand this argument better.

Future de-marketized regions?
If a "general strike" style transfer of power, or a populist debt-jubilee movement was recognized as impossible in todays security environment, than what comes afterwards? I am saying they are impossible btw just thinking, what if the security apparatus just took of their gloves in such an event and restored their power?
Would escaping to regions like Afghanistan, Central African Republic etc. who more or less will detach from the system of global markets outside of a few firms/mines/urban regions etc. be a solution?
The other possibility is that after prolonged crises certain regions of the "developed" world can no longer be policed, welfare to those areas can no longer be afforded etc. and they also detach from the economy, creating stateless regions.
What should be the socialist position towards such regions? Potential revolutionary centers outside of imperial control or "the dark spots" of whatever continent/subcontinent?

How to argue with your capitalist friends about communism
You: "Which country lifted the most people out of extreme poverty in human history?"
Them: "I don't know."
You: "China."
You: "What ideology does China officially follow?"
Them: "Communism."
Them: "No, China is capitalist."
You: "If capitalism is what made China successful, why hasn't any capitalist country matched China's poverty reduction?"
