Against the Opportunists

The revisionists, falsifiers and opportunists hurl at our movement the accusation of “gatekeeping.” They say that we “gatekeep” leftism, as if if that were a bad thing. First and foremost, what is this nonsense about “leftism.” Leftism? Left of what? For them it can only be left of capital! So keep your leftism, we want nothing to do with it! We are not leftists, we are communists, and we do not, as you do, hide behind the veil of reformism, or obscure our views with petty rhetoric. We declare our views loudly and proudly, as all communists should. We fear neither the persecution of the bourgeoisie or the hate and vitriol of the reactionaries. Let them fling their shit; we stand uneffected!

And as to the claim that we are “gatekeepers.” What does this mean? That we gatekeep communism? Well, of course! The communist movement answers not the majority, but to the historical tradition of marxism. We follow not individual opinions or scruples, but rather, the marxist program. Why does this anger them? Because they know that they do not subscribe to the historical tradition of marxism; they fear it! And because they fear it, they wish to infiltrate our ranks and slowly cause the degeneration of our movement with their opportunism and falsification, their talk of peace; there is no peace under capitalism, only war, class war! 

So yes, we do gatekeep communism, not to keep out true revolutionaries, but to keep out the likes of you; reformists, opportunists, revisionists and falsifiers. You so called leftists are not revolutionaries, but are merely the tools of capital, and we want nothing to do with you. Eat shit!

Theses on Queer Materialism

1     Identity is not determined by vague philosophical speculation, but rather, it is determined by the practice of everyday life. 2     Queer materialism understands that identity is not something arbitrary, but rather, it is a historically conditioned state of alienation from the difference of the self. The self yearns to be free, to overflow out of the bounds of identity.  3 Identity is the realization of reification of the level of the self. In a society where commodity relations are the dominant relations, our relation to ourselves and others can only be regulated by static identities. 4     The end goal of queer materialism is the abolition of all static identity, of all social class. In other words, the end goal of queer materialism is communism. 5     The basis of queer materialism is queer negativity, that is, the negation of all former social structures and modes of being. It is upon this negation that new ways of life will be built. 6     There is no such thing as universal

An Open Letter to My Comrades

With the United States general election arriving soon, we all must remember what it is we are fighting for, and who our enemies are . We must stand firm and hold the line. The bourgeoisie and the left wing of capital will do everything in their power to bend us, twist us, corrupt us and break us. They will employ every tactic, every strategy, every method at their disposal in order to silence us, suppress us, or render us functionally passive. No matter what, it must be remembered that no matter who wins, the proletariat will lose unless we take quick and decisive actions against the forces of capital.  Though the bourgeoisie seems divided, this division is completely artificial; it is a front put up to distract us from the real and pressing issue at hand. No matter how different they may seem, both the Democratic and Republican parties share the same interests, are controlled by the same class, and funded by the same people. Through their cunning, the progressive wing of the bourgeois

The Eternal Return of Capital

  1 The Eternal Return is localized, materialized, brought to life in the everyday workings of the capitalist death machine. Nietzsche’s demon brought to life as a Landian hyperstition that appears out of the shadow of the future; it looks down on you, smiling, for it has done this all before. Its voice booms; “This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and every sigh and every thing unutterable small or great in your life will have to return to you -”  It stops. It Laughs. It knows. It knows that you know. And it knows that you will do nothing to stop it (The Gay Science, 125). 2 Unlike the eternal return of Nietzche, which is more of an ethical thought experiment than anything else, a thought experiment meant to help guide the individual towards the path in life that best suits them. However, the eternal return of capitalism is quite d
