"It is also that these are not all working-class struggles around which a global proletariat could possibly be cobbled together. The class composition of the mass protests in Iran (now), Ukraine (in 2013-14), or Venezuela (since 2013) clearly don’t flow from the manuals of marxist revolutionaries. I’ve argued elsewhere that the world is undergoing a “class reconfiguration” in which ecological struggles and climate vulnerability will be playing a newly unifying role."

Beware of this person (yogthos). I commented on his toot and he attacked me in his answer and then blocked me.

We desperately need to figure out how to flip this: how to lift up the creators of wonderful things, instead of rewarding whoever can acquire power over their creations.
I don’t think we know how to do this. There’s a vast spectrum of schemes for fixing this, ranging from capitalist versions of “intellectual property” to Marxist “just end capitalism” notions to various versions of “easy, society should just be different.” I find them all lacking, both in theory and in practice. This is a problem that’s existed for millennia, not decades, and I’m not convinced we have a clear solution.

Muddled.
'Value' has specific meanings in Marxist political economy.
It isn't the appropriate term for what Boillier is discussing.
'Wealth' is closer but still not right.
It's a matter of standpoint: the abundance of nature isn't purely for human use, so those two terms don't apply well, or at all.

The bounty brought by rainfall, fertile soil, and biodiversity cannot truly be expressed through quantitative proxies, prices, algorithms, or markets because this “wealth” doesn’t exist in static, objectified forms or essentialist identities

If you follow me and identify as a Marxist-Leninist, it’s worth understanding that we stand on very different sides of the socialist tradition. It’s time to read and learn, my friend. Marxist-Leninists have a long history of opposing anarchists, especially anarcho-syndicalists.

"The old world is dying,” Antonio Gramsci once wrote.
“And the new world struggles to be born.”
In such interregnums, the Italian Marxist philosopher suggested, “every act, even the smallest,
may acquire decisive weight”.
In 2025, western leaders appeared convinced they – and we – were living through one such transitional period, as the world of international relations established after the second world war crashed to a halt.
During such eras, Gramsci more f…

This is your daily reminder that North Korea is a Marxist-Leninist state; I oppose Marxism-Leninism in the form that produces a vanguardist state.

Oh no, not Aspeyyy again, the Western influencer recycling bourgeois propaganda about the DPRK. North Korea is a Marxist-Leninist state; I oppose Marxism-Leninism in the form that produces a vanguardist state.

Before you start your next impassioned political TED Talk in the group chat, maybe learn the difference between an anarcho-syndicalist and a Marxist-Leninist. Until then, go read a book, touch some grass, and good night.

Marxist-Leninists will mock this post, especially the Ukraine comparison.
