I wanted to mention another thing rightists have in common with
communists is the use of economic argumentation to rationalize
the behavior of mass shooters and "incels", and more broadly the
bad behavior of "white" men.

"White" economics have made non-"whites" behave just as badly as
"whites" themselves though. Economic considerations seem to be
the main driving factor for the spread of "white" bad behavior
among non-"white" populations....

Rightists use economics to excuse "white" failure but blame
"non-white" failure on heredity. This is a different approach
than communists, who at least avoid this double-standard and
apply economic explanations across the board.

Good point. When it's a "white" shooter it's always "broken
families", "lack of a strong father figure". But when it's a
"black" shooter it's the "MAOA gene".

The Communist Cookbook That Defined Prague’s Cuisine
--- Quote ---
> For years, one book dictated how and what people could eat.
--- End Quote ---
--- Quote ---
> In the newly independent Czech Republic of the 1990s, cheap
comfort food—such as goulash, pork knuckle, and
dumplings—dominated every eatery. Meanwhile vegetarians were
encouraged to feast on fried cheese and stewed cabbage. (The
late Anthony Bourdain famously called it “the land vegetables
forgot” in an episode of his travel show No Reservations.) For
the most part, tourists loved Prague in spite of the food rather
than because of it. But Czechs didn’t understand the criticism.
After 40 years of communism, the culinary splendor that once
dominated Czech culture was a distant memory due, in part, to
one very specific cookbook.
>
> As a former cultural capital of both the Holy Roman and
Habsburg Empires, ingredients and ideas once flowed freely
between Prague and major metropolises in Austria, Hungary,
Italy, France, and beyond. By the time Napoleon’s army claimed
victory in the Battle of Austerlitz, the city was an epicurean
epicenter rivaling Paris and Vienna. Czechs were roasting goose
better than Germans, using gnocchi in ways the Italians never
thought of, and incorporating French techniques that made their
meat sauces even richer. Royal banquets often featured
delicacies including pheasant, turtle, and Španělské
ptáčky (Spanish birds), a Czech version of roulade made
from beef or veal. Economic and gastronomic excellence even
survived the First World War.
>
> It wasn’t until the Nazis invaded in 1939, implementing
stringent rationing and 10-12-hour workdays, that Czechoslovak
cuisine took its first big hit. Every person was issued coupons
that signified the amount of bread, sugar, meat, and fat they
could obtain (children under ten were given additional rations
of butter and milk). But after a few years, Jews were forbidden
to purchase fruit, cheese, and meat. Daily life was such a
challenge and access was so limited that cooking was no longer a
priority. Occupiers encouraged Czechs to cook Eintopf (a one-pot
potato stew), but this was a far cry from traditional Sunday
roast, and it never quite caught on. Those fortunate enough to
have family in the country would meet them at quiet train
stations to receive black market eggs and meat.
--- End Quote ---
This was during war-time...
Continuing with the article:
--- Quote ---
> When communists came to power in 1948, citizens were hopeful
they could return to a life containing more prewar luxuries.
Though the quality of food improved, life under socialist ideas
still proved restrictive. Twenty years later, when
liberalization started to gain traction, the party saw a need
for even stricter control. In an effort to consolidate power,
they purged reformist officials from the government and
established a range of restrictions on everyday activities.
Eating was no exception.
>
> The state Restaurants and Cafeterias company soon issued a
national cookbook entitled Receptury teplých pokrmu, or Recipes
for Warm Meals. Dubbed “normovacka,” or “the book of standards,”
it dictated what cooks in the country could serve in 845
recipes. Ladislav Pravaan, curator of the Gastronomie Muzeum of
Prague, explains that the book even specified sources and
serving styles for everything from sauces to side dishes.
>
> The cookbook’s authors, František Syrový and Antonin Nestával,
were relatively well-known chefs at the time (Nestával had even
represented Czech gastronomy at the 1967 Montreal Expo). But the
book emphasized limiting food imports and cooking economically,
so it didn’t include anything you might expect to try at a
culinary competition. Nutrition was also a core component of the
book: The idea was that the the better-balanced people’s meals
were, the harder people would work. In the book, calorie count
and vitamin details were listed alongside ingredients and
instructions, and certain recipes were suggested for certain
professions. Portion sizes were designed by the hundreds,
indicating that select dishes were to be cooked in large
quantities each day.
--- End Quote ---
In comparison, National Socialism and Aryanism are only
concerned with cooking ethically, not economically.
Continuing:
--- Quote ---
> Cooks that wanted to deviate from these recipes had to get
approval from the Ministry of Health, a request that could take
years to go through. Most people opted for the easier route,
which is how thousands of nearly identical menus came to be
established across the country. Paired with limited ingredient
diversity, the nation suffered a creative drought: It wasn’t
just that all the same dishes were served, but the dishes were
prepared exactly the same way, resulting in identical versions
of dishes, too. Each bite was calculated as a means of
productivity, and dining for pleasure was considered
extravagant. “Special” meals were no longer considered, and the
scope of Czech cuisine shrunk...

All western ideological considerations in regards to diet,
whether it be communism or capitalism, merely focus on growth
and productivity\economics. Only National Socialism and Aryanism
have ever truly be concerned with a diet based on the ethical
consideration of "do unto others as you would want done unto
you". Westerners prove that they are immoral and unethical
people simply by their diets alone.

Is nature\Yahweh also not cruel? Human-beings worked hard to
remove themselves as much as possible from nature's laws via

There was widespread support for animal welfare in Nazi
Germany[1] (German: Tierschutz im nationalsozialistischen
Deutschland) among the country's leadership. Adolf Hitler and
his top officials took a variety of measures to ensure animals
were protected.[2]
--- Quote ---
> Several Nazis were environmentalists, and species protection
and animal welfare were significant issues in the Nazi
regime.[3] Heinrich Himmler made an effort to ban the hunting of
animals.[4] Hermann Göring was a professed animal lover and
conservationist,[5] who, on instructions from Hitler, committed
Germans who violated Nazi animal welfare laws to concentration
camps. In his private diaries, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph
Goebbels described Hitler as a vegetarian whose hatred of the
Jewish religion in large part stemmed from the ethical
distinction this faith drew between the value of humans and the
value of other animals; Goebbels also mentions that Hitler
planned to ban slaughterhouses in the German Reich following the
conclusion of World War II.[6] Nevertheless, animal testing was
common in Nazi Germany.[7][8][9]

introduced by the Nazis.[10]

treated the same exact way they have been treating non-human
people, if not worse? Could non-humans ever wage an effective

--- Quote ---
> Movement is the mode of existence of the entire material
universe. Energy and matter are inseparable. Moreover, movement
does not come "from outside", but is a manifestation of internal
tensions which are inseparable not only from life, but also from
all forms of matter. Development and change occur through
internal contradictions. Thus, dialectical analysis begins by
exposing these internal contradictions through empirical
investigation which then results in development and change.
>
> From a dialectical point of view all the "opposites" are
one-sided and inadequate, including the contradiction between
"truth and error". Marxism does not accept the existence of
"Eternal Truth". All "truth" and "wrong" is relative. What is
right at one time and context is wrong at another: right and
wrong cross one another.
>
> So the progress of knowledge and science does not start from
the negation of an "incorrect theory". All theories are
relative, explaining one side of reality. Initially they were
assumed to have universal validity and application. They are
"right". But at some point, the shortcomings of this theory
began to be recognized; they can't be used for all situations,
exceptions always exist. This had to be explainable, and at some
point, new theories were developed to explain the exceptions.
But these new theories not only "negate" the old, but also
incorporate them in a new form.
>
> We can set aside contradictions only by considering objects as
inanimate things, static and situated separately from one
another, that is, metaphysically. But once we understand things
in their movement and change, in their life, in their
interdependence and interaction, we encounter a series of
contradictions.
>
> ...

>
> All forms of human society exist because it is a necessity of
time: "No special order disappears before all the productive
forces to which it belongs, have been developed: and new, higher
relations of production never arise until the material
conditions of their existence have sufficiently matured." in the
womb of the old society. Mankind has therefore always taken up
problems only which he can solve, for, on observing these
problems more closely, we will always find that the problem
itself arises only when the necessary material conditions for
its solution already exist or are at least in the process of
being formed. ”. (Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of
Political Economy).

> Slavery, at its time, represented a great leap beyond
barbarism. Slavery was a necessary stage in the development of
the productive forces, culture and society. As explained by
Hegel: "It is not from slavery, but through slavery that humans
become free". (Hegel, Philosophy of History)
>
> Likewise capitalism is also a necessary and progressive stage
in society. However, like slavery, primitive communism and
feudalism (see section 2), capitalism has long ceased to
represent a necessary and progressive social system. It is
already rickety because of the deep contradictions that lie
within it, and will in time be overthrown by the rise of
socialism, which is represented by the modern proletariat.
Private ownership of the means of production and the
nation-state, which are the basic features of capitalist
society, which originally marked a step forward, now only
hinders the development of the productive forces and threatens
all the progress that has been made after centuries of human
development.
>
> Today capitalism is a porous and backward social system, which
must be overthrown and replaced by its opposite, Socialism, if
human culture is to survive. Marxism is determinist, but not
fatalist, because the alignment of contradictions in society can
only be achieved by humans who consciously seek to bring about
the transformation of society. The struggle between these
classes is not something that is natural. Who succeeds depends
on many factors, and a rising progressive class has many
advantages over an aging force of reaction. But in the end, the
result must depend on which side is stronger determined, bigger
organization and more talented and formidable leadership.

> Therefore Marxist philosophy is essentially a guide to action:
“Philosophers have interpreted the world in various ways;
but the aim, after all, is to change it.” (Marx,
Feuerbach's theses)
>
> The victory of socialism will mark a new and clearly different
stage in the history of mankind. More accurately, it would mark
the end of humankind's prehistory, and begin real history.
>
> But, on the other hand, socialism signifies our return to the
earliest form of society - tribal communism - but at a much
higher level, which stands above all the tremendous
contributions made over the thousands of years of class society.
An abundant economy will be made possible by the application of
socialist planning to industry, science and engineering, which
has been established by capitalism, on a global scale. This
would in turn abolish the division of labour, the distinction
between mental and physical labor, between town and country, and
the barbaric and unnecessary class conflicts, and allow humanity
to finally be able to allocate its resources to the domination
of nature: in the words of Engels who famous, "Humanity's Leap
from the world of necessity to the World of Freedom". (Marx and
Engels,Capital Vol. III)

In short, communism need capitalist and western colonialism in
order to made the colonized being educated to manage the
industry and technological advancements. And then they will
support communism because feel oppressed by the capitalist
unjust economic system which enforced by the colonialist.
Communism can be applied only on highly industrialized and
technologically advanced society. Therefore only the nation or
community which expert to exploiting world's resources which
able to accept communism. And the nations who can't do that will
got preyed by the communist states in order to got introduced to
industrialist oppressive system by the communist states. I hope
China will not do this to the non-western states and instead see
their main enemy is Western Civilization. Communism don't
believe absolute truth, only relativism. Because it promoting
human interest to reform into different way of life which suited
for communist western industrial advancement. Communist viewed
slavery are not evil, but necessary conditions to accept "human
development"

Communist saw everything relative depending on the society's

> b) Everything is determined by circumstances, place and time
>
> Recognizing that there is an organic mutual relationship
between phenomena also means that the existence of something
cannot be separated from the circumstances around it, or the
existence of something that has certain conditions. The meaning
of something is determined by the circumstances or situation.
When the situation changes, the meaning also changes. For
example, the growth of the capitalist mode of production or
capitalism requires certain conditions, that is, on the one hand
there is capital, on the other hand wage labor is available. And
these conditions only existed at the end of the feudal era in
Europe. At a time when capitalism has a revolutionary meaning
against feudalism, the bourgeoisie has a revolutionary role
against feudalism. But capitalism and the bourgeoisie in the
countries of Western Europe and America are no longer
revolutionary, but reactionary. Because the bourgeoisie in these
countries no longer wants revolutionary changes in society, they
are desperately defending a system of society that is no, they
repeated what the feudal lords they had overthrown had done.
>
> Thus it is clear that dialectical materialism is opposed to a
frozen metaphysical view, which seeks to perpetuate or absolute
something, or to look at and analyze something that is separated
from its surroundings, from being separated from other things.
For example, viewing capitalism as something that stands alone;
because capitalism is a system of exploitation of humans by
humans, it is considered a reactionary system and must be
opposed absolutely anywhere and at any time. As a continuation
of this erroneous assumption, is to assess the position of the
national capitalists in our present country definitively as a
reactionary class, because they consider the paying class. Thus,
they do not see each other in conflict with imperialism and
feudalism, so that the revolutionary role of the national
bourgeoisie is not seen at the present stage of the Indonesian
revolution which is objectively anti-imperialism and
anti-feudalism.
>
> In short, with this view of mutual relations, we teach that
when looking at and solving a problem, do not separate it from
the relationship as a whole, because there is nothing that has
no cause or effect, everything is determined by circumstances,
place and time.

Germans and Magyars against the Slav nationality? We are not
speaking here of the partition of Poland, which is not at issue
here, we are speaking of the "centuries of injustice" supposed
to have been inflicted on the Slavs.
>
> In the north, the Germans have reconquered from the Slavs the
formerly German and subsequently Slav region from the Elbe to
the Warthe; a conquest which as determined by the "geographical
and strategical necessities" resulting from the partition of the
Carolingian kingdom. These Slavs areas have been fully
Germanized; the thing has been done and cannot be undone, unless
the pan-Slavists were to resurrect the lost Sorbian, Wendish,
and Obodritian languages and impose them on the inhabitants of
Leipzig, Berlin and Stettin. But up to now it has never been
disputed that this conquest was to the advantage of
civilization.
>
> In the south, the Germans found the Slav races already split
up. That had been seen to by the non-Slav Avars, who occupied
the region later inhabited by the Magyars. The Germans exacted
tribute from these Slavs and waged many wars against them. They
fought also against the Avars and Magyars, from whom they took
the whole territory from the Ems to the Leitha. Whereas they
carried out Germanization here by force, the Germanization of
the Slav territories proceeded much more on a peaceful basis, by
immigration and by the influence of the more developed nation on
the undeveloped. German industry, German trade, and German
culture by themselves served to introduce the German language
into the country. As far as "oppression" is concerned, the Slavs
were not more oppressed by the Germans than the mass of the
German population itself.
>
> As regards the Magyars, there are certainly also a large
number of Germans in Hungary, but the Magyars, although
numbering "hardly four millions", have never had the occasion to
complain of the "damnable German policy"! And if during eight
centuries the "eight million Slavs" have had to suffer the yoke
imposed on them by the four million Magyars, that alone
sufficiently proves which was the more viable and vigorous, the
many Slavs or the few Magyars!
>
> But, of course, the greatest "crime" of the Germans and
Magyars is that they prevented these 12 million Slavs from
becoming Turkish! What would have become of these scattered
small nationalities, which have played such a pitiful role in
history, if the Magyars and Germans had not kept them together
and led them against the armies of Mohammed and Suleiman, and if
their so-called oppressors had not decided the outcome of the
battles which were fought for the defense of these weak
nationalities! The fate of the "12 million Slavs, Wallachians,
and Greeks" who have been "trampled underfoot by 700,000 Osmans"
(page eight), right up to the present day, does not that speak
eloquently enough?
>
> And finally, what a "crime" it is, what a "damnable policy"
that at a time when, in Europe in general, big monarchies had
become a "historical necessity", the Germans and Magyars untied
all these small, stunted and impotent little nations into a
single big state and thereby enabled them to take part in a
historical development from which, left to themselves, they
would have remained completely aloof! Of course, matters of this
kind cannot be accomplished without many a tender national
blossom being forcibly broken. But in history nothing is
achieved without violence and implacable ruthlessness, and if
Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon had been capable of being moved
by the same sort of appeal as that which pan-Slavism now makes
on behalf of its ruined clients, what would have become of
history! And are the Persians, Celts, and Christian Germans of
less value than the Czechs, Ogulians, and Serezhans?
>
> Now, however, as a result of the powerful progress of
industry, trade and communications, political centralization has
become a much more urgent need than it was then, in the 15th and
16th centuries. What still has to be centralized is being
centralized. And now the pan-Slavists come forward and demand
that we should "set free" these half-Germanized Slavs, and that
we should abolish a centralization which is being forced on
these Slavs by all their material interests!
>
> In short, it turns out these "crimes" of the Germans and
Magyars against the said Slavs are among the best and most
praiseworthy deeds which our and the Magyar people can boast in
their history.
>
> Moreover, as far as the Magyars are concerned, it should be
specially pointed out here that, particularly since the
revolution, they have acted too much submissively and weakly
against the puffed-up Croats. It is notorious that Kossuth made
all possible concessions to them, excepting only that their
deputies were not allowed to speak the Croatian in the Diet. And
thus submissiveness to a nation that is counter-revolutionary by
nature is the only thing with which the Magyars can be
reproached.
