i am a communist because i consider dotp to be historically progressive economic and political system. you're communist because of idealist social parasitism related fantasies you made up in your head. we're not the same.

Imp core

Askdhfhhs we recorded a group thing on zoom and it starts with me going “Auuuuughhh…….. oh sorry I didn’t know my mic was on I didn’t mean to sound that sad”

[lesbianboyfriend]

was reading a post where someone shorted imperial core to impcore and my brain like blue screened out for a second as i tried to figure out what some ostensibly niche tiktok aesthetic had to do with the topic

[lezbianz]

this is sooo bad but i just saw someone abbreviate “imperial core” (as in, like, the us & western europe) to “impcore.” and i was like…what the fuck kind of aesthetic is that and what does it have to do with communism😭

Look bottom line is if you're an impcore "communist" in 2023 who still has hangups over gay and trans people I think you should blow your fucking brains out. We have enough enemies already without these scum.

I dont want to code this i dont want to code this i dont want to code this

what impcore is

a small coding language created to be studied for the syntax, semantics, and style!

Very cool idea! Linguistics for programming!!

What impcore is not: something i want to fucking write in ;;;___:;;;

i understand the lack of curly braces because it decreases the amount of symbols needed and u can focus on the operations used instead but... i CANNTS READ THIS ...

( this code is from my teachers recitation guide so)

i respect its place ... i jsut wan..... t to not do my hw and instead mamybe .... mmmmmmplay runescape

[transfemstalin]

see i would really really love to but my attempts in those parties have ended in either witch hunts (what you get for being a tgirl i guess) or genuine legal monetary and physical danger.. lmfao. like none of them do shit which is expected from impcore commies i guess. i’ll look more into unions

also ok my followers are like more than half usa/canada— DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY GOOD ORGS? PLEASE? i wanna get organized for new years but all of them fucking suck

[komsomolka]

it's always funny to me when impcorer marxists insist we should treat anarchists and their silly ideas seriously for some reason like they didn't lose the idealogical battle a century ago

To add to this, I think one of the core issues this time around was the refusal to see the U.S. global military interventionism as an extension of U.S. policing within its borders. I think many people have brought up how people from the global south have to put in a disproportionate amount of effort into not only understanding but also dissecting impcore politics to be able to argue for their rights as a human being, an effort that is often unreciprocated. I don't see a way to combat this except by just putting in an effort to learn about the past and ongoing US imperialist projects globally.

Here is a podcast that touches on a lot of these themes as it talks about the issue from the lens of Black Lives Matter:

Here's the overview of the talk, which was an event by the Department of Asian American and Pacific Islander Studies at Brandeis University:

In a recent New Yorker interview, Adrian Hong, founder of the murky group Free Joseon, curiously described the purpose of his anti-North Korea organization as "abolition." If, in post-Cold War era, no image has gone further in securing North Korea's pariah status than the gulag (gwalliso), how do we begin to understand the abolitionist vision of someone who has long agitated for regime change in North Korea?

To answer this question, this presentation first casts back to the early post-9/11, "axis of evil" era when North Korea was repositioned in the crosshairs of the U.S. war machine to illuminate the hawkish interventionist worldview animating Hong's recent self-branding as a prison abolitionist. To grasp the historical inversion of his critique, this talk goes back even further to the mid-20th century when the U.S. emerged as a global police power. By delving into the archives of the Civil Rights Congress, a Black antifascist organization that presented an antilynching petition to the United Nations in 1951, I examine linkages between the "policeman's bullet" in the U.S. and "police action" in Korea.

Co-sponsored with African and African-American Studies.

Here is one of my favourite quotes from the talk:

In that post-9/11 moment, when we saw militarized human rights take center stage that this interventionist human rights optic was promoted by a bipartisan war party within the United States, and this human rights rhetoric really served ideologically to obscure political lines of the past, enabling imperialism to refashion itself as liberal morality on the world stage.

Please note that I am a baby communist from Nepal who happened to come across this video with 124 views on YouTube in my long and continuing journey to deconstruct the propaganda I've been fed because it affects my ability to forge genuine solidarity with my comrades. Those of us who have taken the time to learn Korean history and also to listen to the unimaginably cruel string of events in Siwolism's past that led her to make a blog on this godforsaken site understand the privilege that it has been to know and be enriched by her presence. It is regrettable and, personally, shameful to not have been able to return that favour in any meaningful way until she felt there was no choice but to exit this space.

do you have advice for learning to differentiate actual racism/antiblackness in marxist communities vs. my own biases as a black person raised in the imperial core? ive seen some nonblack people make comments in response to the ongoing siwolism smear campaign that would have originally made me uncomfortable, but within context and as of recent events i now dont know if that's just my own bias/privilege acting on instinct. i dont want to become another black hitlerite yk

I think the most important thing to keep in mind that communists asserting that black ppl from the imperial core having privilege due to living in the imperial core and having chauvinistic behaviors relating to these conditions (like any imperial core citizen) is just a fact of our reality and is not a insult to a particular individual. Imperialism is real, we benefit from it, and getting mad about people pointing this out just proves the point about the chauvinism.

i haven’t had a tumble account since 2012 do they still nominate an imp of the month here? and if not then what do you talk about during the town hall meetings

HUTAO!!

like this post only has what could be interpreted as a specific reference to us politics in the second paragraph (even though it isn't). the whole thing is generalized to impcore liberal democracies with a specific example from Spanish politics. Yet I have people yelling at me about the US and a tag "uk politics". Like can you all, for once, not make a post that's applicable to the US be monopolized by discussion of the US?

unless it is explicitly stated throughout the whole post or there's a really obvious reference, most of my posts aren't about the US so everytime someone tags those that aren't as "us politics" or some such I kill another hostage. Believe it or not other countries also have liberal democracies that can be criticized, and even if I mention the US in one of these posts I am still talking about liberal democracies in general
