Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your thoughts on people who are against pacifism?
4·18 days agopacifism <> anti-militarist <> non-violence
However depending on how you define those, you may recognize in each one. If we rely on a legal definition, militarism and war are only link to states. Armed force without state are not an army, and armed conflicts no declared by states are not war. Dumb lex, sed lex
For exemple, in this definition revolution is not a war, so pacifist could took part in armed force independent from states. That explain why their is a pacifist tradition in communism … except when those revolution succeed … well you should leave that armed force that became an army and refuse conscription.
This debate occurred recently through the essay “How Nonviolence Protects the State”, which address the non-violence and/or pacifism as exploiters : if you don’t want to use violence, other will have to The essay do not get rid of the ideal of non-violence, only what individual position do to people that could not choose.
Now their is an Elephant in the room : police. A violent armed force, acting for a state but without a declaration of war. So from our first definition, we could be a pacifist and let the cops do the exact same thing that an army.

I’m referring to the idea that “Supporting the opposition of the main imperialist, in order to weaken the all system”, a position often simplified as “campist”. I’m not saying it was shaky, however as all the other political theories, the working class shall observe how it worked.
Their is a lot of academic and communist (mostly maoist and titoist, but not only) research to disprove this (see below), but what the point ? You may answer that this imperialist and bourgeois propaganda (which is partly true), and I will your sources are just others bourgeoisie propaganda.
So I would suggest to rely on self-organized working classes. Are they supported or not by the organization, states or union we talking about ? U.S, Nato, Russian federation, Europe, Ukraine, Israel, People’s Republic of China, all this state crush unions or collective that ask too much or are too independent. And what we see is that supporting those state or organization weaken the expression of a self-aware proletariat and enforce the tools of its repression. Even States at war have no issue to copy each other to do so. It seems that spreading armed and state conflicts just make the Military–industrial complex to grow, and strike population everywhere (but not with the same violence). The Military–industrial complex is not unique to the US; it’s something important in some European countries, others NATO State (i.e Turquey), or the USSR (at least in its last decade).

We don’t have to be dogmatic to be radical you know. Their is other way to oppose to capitalism and imperialism than to blindly believe in 50 years old theory that have be disproved since
Is more an injonction than a meme ; it implies that we should “go to gym” to oppose to fascists. So it suppose that strong and athletics body are more valid for antifascism than the others. Gym, exercise and workout are more linked with work than with games : we try to improve our performances, making stats, having regularity and so on. According to Johan Huizinga in “Homo Ludens”, sports is the opposite of game, and is how the modern era twist games to match desires of productive bodies.
I’m not saying that sports, gym, workout, box, running are bad; if people enjoy it, it’s enough. However I think the the injonction is counter-productive. For every situation we may wish to have a shaped body they is a collective answer that more people participate : so it’s more inclusive and create more social link
This is an individualist approach, a productivist one and a validist one. I see you point : people shall prepare But the next question is : to do what ?
If you want to prepare to run: run if you want to prepare to climb : climb if you want to prepare to fight : fight
This not an RPG, muscles could act counter-productively (it’s weight more, and need more calories).
But most importantly, prepare to do it collectively. Some of us have the health and condition to prepare to do some of this, and may need to be recall that they have a responsibility to do so, because some of us don’t. Futhermore in most situations it’s better to be 3 people not well prepared than one fit. So take care of you community and make it grow
In france is not lobbying, is “asking an exception to the prefecture” … exception to the application of the law, and you have to pay for that. So only wealthy people and big firm could ask for it.
All tower to the people

Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•60% of MD5 password hashes are crackable in under an hourEnglish
8·1 month agoA private security company ask people to give valuable biometric data. No reason to trust what they said, furthermore without step to reproduce.
However from this article :
The professor noted that, in many cases, users aren’t told how to create a good modern password, and in other cases, sites simply don’t enforce adequate password requirements to make passwords secure, to the degree that they can be made so.
Maybe a shall do more crypto-party instead of send our passwords online, giving our phone numbers or biometrics.

Did I say CIA, Mossad or other imperialist state were not involve ?
I pointed out that you couldn’t pretend defending the working in class when denying its agency. The movement “jin, jîyan, azadî” started way before the US and Israel operations (2022); kurdish people are organizing for their freedom even before the 1st war of Irak, and one of the few example of real socialism (democratic confederalism).
Yep, the imperialist state try to use those movement; the responsibility of the revolutionary movement inside those imperialist state is to fight the imperialism of their own state, not saping the revolutionary movement in other state
- Marx : “the freedom of the workers will be accomplish by the workers themselves”
- Workers fighting for freedom
- Marxist : “It’s CIA !”
okay that seem to be coherent. We are used to define imperialism as “the system produce by the competition between states”. Some domination are note linked (or loosely) with market.
I understand why it’s interesting to focus on things we can fight on. But a lot of us couldn’t fight the financial market and it’s exportation. However we could blockade exportation of weapons, sending medic kit or foods to people that suffer from domination.
I’m not saying your definition is wrong, I’m saying that I found it ineffective for an international solidarity of the working class
