The Holodomor claimed several million in Ukraine via famine, intentional starvation, etc.

This is suppressed

The Holodomor is not "suppressed". It is name-dropped in a completely ahistorical way in HBO's Chernobyl TV-series, for example. Cartoons and such depicting Holodomor from that time people are readily available.

You are right that the Holocaust is relatively more propagandized... in part because it is an important part of the mythology of Israel.

The Confederates were holding onto slave labor to finance their meager existence which was being robbed of them due to the Jewish bankers in New York and Jewish bankers in London.

Lincoln wrote to Marx; Marx admired Lincoln.

Indeed, the CPUSA venerated Lincoln in the 1940s. Images of this are readily google-able.

You are aware that the USSR supported and made possible in its current form the anti-Zionist movement, right? And today, it is China that hosts the foremost anti-Zionist factions? Does this consist of "Judaic governance" in your view?

Stalin had killed perhaps the second-most prominent Bolshevik Jew, Trotsky, with an ice axe. The USSR's universities, like American ones, had Jewish Quotas.

Perhaps there are ways you explain away such things in terms of "fall guys" and such. A Hierarchy of Jews. But the story seems inconsistent to me.

UK got friendly with Russia via Churchill and the Jewish bankers/oligarchs,

What are you talking about? As I show above, Churchill was an avowed anti-communist. Honestly part of the reason why Britain today is irrelevant.

Whatever he was, or what he believed, I don't think his scientific or biological views can be reduced to politics.

Ray Peat said:

US people don't realize how ridiculously degraded their standard of living has become. Nutrition is political economical. The governments tell people to eat beans and bread for a reason.

You said:

Oligarchs make bank, the government gets enriched, and everyone else pretty much works for the state.

China (and Vietnam) execute billionaires. We don't go there.

What is "communism" at this stage, really?

The latest synthesis of Communism is Xi Jinping Thought of China + Deng Xiaoping. "Housing is for living in, not for speculation", and so on. The objective material development of China seems to me hard to argue with for those that have paid attention: with its sanctions etc. the US seems to be quite literally stuck in the 20th century in a lot of ways, and not the cute and quaint ones. Where it has failed to actually develop itself for fear of inevitably creating socialism, making the position of the current ruling class irrelevant, it has compensated by jacking up the price of all of the various non-optional scams, like housing, education, food, childcare. Certainly you can work to avoid these, usually using family connections, and so just as in the late USSR, a vast "shadow economy" forms alongside the official economy, which stifles the real thing nearly to death. Home ownership rates in China (and Russia) are something like 90%+, in the US it is 65%.

I can't see how his lefty views could somehow influence all of his opinions and statements about nutrition, health, energy, etc.

It's very Maoist. "Make blast furnaces in your backyard" maps onto "Consume Fruit to Grow Your Brain' pretty well. All the more so because right-racialists lean toward the brain's trajectory already being fixed. Have you read Peat's "Mind and Tissue"? He himself lays it out pretty well in that book.

arguably implementing global "democratic" communist governance across the world

You are correct that the US is already by necessity in a pseudo-socialist condition. Many of the current "left" types today miss this, not understanding that factory shifts in Marx's time were 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, there was no public schooling, it was still legal in many places (Russia, USA) to own people, and only the minority knew how to read. Capitalism honestly ended in 1929. Maybe even in 1917 when the US became obsessed with war debt, initiated income taxes, the Federal Reserve, broke its century-long policy of isolation in order to make sure that Britain would not default. Capitalism today is a "superstructural" phenomenon, less so a "base" one, especially with the 1971 end of the gold standard. (Read "Superimperialism" by Michael Hudson for more on the effects of this internationally).

I do defend Stalin, and I disparage especially unproductive creditor-type financial capitalism of the US. In spite of its Eurasian-type vulgarity (which is overemphasized, but is present), Marxism-Leninism has changed the world like quite literally nothing else. And so I consider myself a part of this tradition. Which is something the right side misses: that this is an entire family of thought and less so a dogmatic thing that started and ended with the USSR. The late USSR and late rule of Mao Zedong I personally am not keen on defending.

You do seem like one of the more intelligent right-ish people here. Nice job. In spite of this, your touting the lie of 500 trillion victims of Communism shows that it was not sublated into the liberal-fascist project. It is the true opposition to it, which is why it seems, from the other side of the aisle, like the actual "Spectre" of pure evil, as Marx himself described already in 1848.

@VehmicJuryman

The USSR was very ignorant about the role of these things and ascribed almost all racial differences to 'material conditions'.

This is not such an inappropriate perspective to have when the USSR sent the male literacy rate from 30% to near 100%, literally inventing a number of languages and writing systems along the way that are still used today (e.g., Azerbaijaini). Modifying the population by the exploitation of materialist perspectives.

The USSR has been described as the world's first "affirmative action empire". It had double standards nationalism for its petty peripheral minorities while denigrating and discriminating against Russians, for example, up until Stalin was forced to make a limited embrace of Russian nationalism in the face of WW2.

I wonder what you think the "correct" perspective is here. Should Stalin have been more Racist in favor of Russians at the expense of a colonized periphery (which in turn fueled the Nazi-collaborating OUN of Ukraine)? Or do you believe in a philistinism of many scattered, narrow, ultra-racist fiefdoms, like pre-unification Germany or Italy? Taken in either direction, the "nationalist" perspective is Gnostic and unserious.

Even after that it spent the entire Cold War supporting Third World anti-colonial revolutions based on the idea that "exploitation" and "imperialism" explained the clear racial differences at play.

This move irreversibly changed the face of the world, sending the age of widespread vulgar imperialism to an end, and was largely successful. To this day the definitive weapon of insurgency is the cheap AK-47 and variants. And it was exactly the distribution of this weapon and others that fueled the success of anti-colonial fighting, where the so-called "racial characteristics" had not changed. The same is shown true by your example of Rhodesia in an opposite way. Racism was not enough to win the support of the White world.

Vietnamese are actually one of the highest IQ populations in the world

Do you honestly believe that this was the case during the era of colonialism and guerilla warfare? I would sooner say that Communism and its focus on self-development and rigorous study for the entire population explains the difference, if any, observed today.

Economic conditions in these places were severely retarded by communism,

That is just counterfactual. In fact Communism was probably the single greatest political force for the improvement of living standards for the global majority in the entire 20th century.

(Here you have Russia: note the dip caused by the Capitalist reforms of the 1990s, with restoration under the Putin regime)

@VehmicJuryman

You are being very selective with figures to craft your narrative - 10% of aircraft. No mention of the percentage of trucks, munitions, raw materials, etc provided by the liberal US to the communists. Even pointing out that Lend Lease provided only 10% of aircraft doesn't actually refute the point, since that 10% could be what made the difference.

I am referring to aircraft in particular because, if you read the source of the quote that I linked, this is what Stalin was referring to.

Since it's impossible to definitively prove a counterfactual (i.e. that Germany would have defeated the communists if the liberals hadn't bailed them out),

I will remind you that 85% of Lend-Lease supplies arrived in 1943 and later, well after the battle of Stalingrad in which the USSR had already turned the tide of the Nazi invasion. If Lend-lease had any effect, it was making the remainder of the war mildly less painful. But it is very unlikely that it would have changed the final outcome. It even makes complete sense from a political perspective: why would you give loans to a system that will fail and default?

If racial and national differences aren't real

I don't think racial and national differences aren't real. I just don't think they're immutable (as the Romans correctly identified Germanics, Britons, and Franks as being irrelevant barbarians in that time, for example). To a large extent, such differences are the product of the material-social-political-technological environment. Which is once again, the entire point of the bioenergetic worldview: that the environment you are in, or create for yourself, changes your mind and your being. Your being here (as well as the inheritance of acquired characteristics) refutes the perspective that everything has already been decided by your genes.

The massive increases in life expectancy found in Communist regimes are a great example of this. As are the fact that average heights are actually increasing in China decade after decade.

Lysenko represents the truly materialist scientific methodology. Western genetics represents the rationalist reductionist view of reality. This is why they had to remove him.

Ray Peat, PhD.

Why did Vietnam win the Vietnam war? Why did the US fail to defeat Korea? Why did Rhodesia lose to ZImbabwe? Nazi Race Science would have gotten you nowhere with explaining these things that Actually Happened.

Also, lol @ the double standard of saying that the USSR was justified in reclaiming the Russian Empire's territories in Poland but Germany wasn't justified in reclaiming the German Empire's territories in Poland.

I don't think it was "justified". I do not believe in any justice other than being correct, being in harmony with actual material reality, in optimizing the function of the mitochondrion worker-units and the Central Government of the brain. I am saying it was more politically acceptable to Britain and France.

I'm inclined to agree with the others here that a more meaningful life could be intensely therapeutic for such issues, when modifying intake parameters is not that helpful. At a glance, are you underemployed? Outside of a Job, do you have Work that you do? Do you have an occupation? Do you live with bad people? Good work can be one of the best things. Bad work one of the worst as well, of course.

It was ultimately a frenetic season of academic work (publishing) which decisively turned the tide for me personally for similar issues. Everything else in my case after that was just followthrough effects. A sense of real success attached to my Government Name to roll into everything else.

@temple-of-salt A light dose of melatonin just to get the job done won't kill you in my experience. Then again I am not too familiar with Peat's critique of melatonin, beyond it being somewhat antimetabolic.

Part of the variable here is that doses given in pills are about 10x too high. Effects occur in good effect at 1/10 the normal dose of 3mg, i.e., 0.3mg. Using a liquid formula of melatonin, you can use these smaller amounts. A decent one is available at whole foods, which I occasionally use.

Weight train 4 times a week

Maybe try reducing the amount or intensity of training, even walking? Exercise used to bring on a kind of cortisol-induced mania in me, with symptoms not unlike what you describe.

@VehmicJuryman

Note that this reply does not refute the substance of the claim by Stalin.

It does, because the content of the quote has completely changed. It in fact changes the substance completely from discussing something that supposedly happened, to instead a petition for something to happen, which did not in substance. Total aircraft given to the USSR under lend-lease was something like 15k units, while the USSR produced 140k during wartime, around ~10%. In the frame of Stalin's production figures, this would be around 1.5 months of US military production.

Nikita Khrushchev

Ah, Khrushchev. His entire political career was built off of throwing Stalin and his accomplishments under the bus. I'm not entirely sure you know this history, so I would recommend Losurdo if you care to learn.

Goebbels' 1941 diaries paint a completely different picture of the wartime situation:

July 24: We cannot doubt the fact that the Bolshevik regime, which has existed
for almost a quarter century, has left deep scars on the peoples of the Soviet
Union [...]. We should therefore clearly emphasize the hardness of the battle
being waged in the east to the German people. The nation should be told that
this operation is very difficult, but we can overcome it and get through.41
August 1: The headquarters of the Führer [...] is also openly admitting that it
has erred a little in the assessment of Soviet military strength. The Bolsheviks
are displaying more resistance than we had assumed; in particular, they have
more material means at their disposal than we believed.42
August 19: Privately, the Führer is very irritated with himself for having been
deceived so much about the potential of the Bolsheviks by reports from [Ger-
man agents in] the Soviet Union. In particular, his underestimation of the
enemy’s armored infantry and air force has created many problems. He has suf-
fered a lot. This is a serious crisis [...]. The campaigns we had carried out until
now were almost walks [...]. The Führer had no reason to be concerned about
the west [...]. In our German rigor and objectivity we have always overestimated
the enemy, with the exception in this case of the Bolsheviks.43
September 16: We calculated the potential of the Bolsheviks in a completely
erroneous way.44
November 29, 1941: “How can such a primitive people manage such technical
achievements in such a short time?”61
August 26, 1942: “With regard to Russia, it is incontestable that Stalin has
raised living standards. The Russian people were not being starved [at the time
of the start of Operation Barbarossa]. Overall, we must recognize that: work-
shops of the scale of the Hermann Goering Werke have been built where two years
ago there were only unknown villages. We are discovering railway lines that are
not on the maps.”

In reality, the UK and France declared war on Germany in September 1939, after Germany invaded Poland.

Yes. And then they didn't do anything for nine months in a period known as the Phoney War.

The communists did not enter the war with Germany until 1941.

This is a weird framing of it. You are aware that Germany invaded the USSR, right? Stalin was trying to buy as much time as possible to prepare for this inevitable invasion, hence the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.

"We are fifty or a hundred years behind the advanced countries. We must make good this difference in ten years. Either we do it, or we shall be crushed" Stalin, 1931

Difference is that Poland was part of the historical territory of the Russian Empire, lost in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk: for them it was more like reclaiming territory. For Germany, Britain's old continental rival, it was a more aggressive act. It is clear though that just as they let Hitler annex Austria for free, that even this declaration of war brought no military action. Truly they were trying to sit it out, crossing their fingers for a military defeat of the USSR.

Especially WInston Churchill, who was a rabid anti-communist. In 1919 he led a military invasion of the USSR by Britain, which would have proceeded and expanded was it not for the discontent of the domestic British labor movement.

“I think the day will come when it will be recognized without doubt, not only on one side of the House, but throughout the civilized world, that the strangling of Bolshevism at its birth would have been an untold blessing to the human race.”

Mr. Seymour Cocks (Lab.) interrupted: “If that had happened we should have lost the 1939–45 war.”

Churchill replied: “No, it would have prevented the last war.”

After the war, he had drafted up a plan to invade the USSR himself using nuclear weapons deployed on Moscow: "Operation Unthinkable".

@VehmicJuryman Stalin said this at a dinner with the Western Allies in 1943, where he was trying to curry their favor for an expansion of Lend-Lease.

Your quote is actually misleading, because it's formatted in the past-tense, certainly for ideological reasons. The real quote is:

"The United States, therefore, is a country of machines. Without the use of those machines, through Lend-Lease, we would lose this war." - Joseph Stalin

From

FDR did the same to him in kind, proposing that India be reformed "largely along the Soviet line". Of course part of the motivation was to undermine the British Empire, which had become a war-debtor to the United States at that point.

@Prometheus88

You do realize the only reason the soviets survived the war is because the US was constantly supplying them with weaponry right?

You are referring to the Lend-Lease program, which nominally started in 1941.
Lend-Lease ultimately made up about 4% of Soviet war production, a relatively small amount. 85% of Lend-Lease supplies arrived after 1943, when the USSR had already turned the tide against the Fascist invasion.

Did you know that the Nazi State continued to pay their WW1 debts to England during the war? Why did the Western allies not open a second front until 1944, despite Stalin constantly petitioning them? Why did Hitler not invade Britain by land, when he had the means? Did you know that Hitler took power by martial law after a false-flag attack as a result of the Reichstag Fires, and the Gleiwitz Incident, not by popular means, as often thought? Did you know that Himmler tried to petition the Western powers for a separate peace, going behind Hitler's back, knowing that he would get a better deal with them if successful? Why was there a Phoney War on the onset of the conflict?

Germanic brothers, blinded by Jewish propaganda smashed them with far greater numbers and their own weaponry made via Germanic ingenuity.

... Are you trying to refer to Britain and the USA? The USSR killed 86% of Wehrmacht during the war, and they did it in effect all by themselves. Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf decades prior that he wanted to conquer the USSR. This was basically his entire real political program from start to finish, and he failed at it.

The premise of your second paragraph has been refuted, so I will not address it. You know what nation actually represents the Aryan caste-system ideology today? India. Do you want to be like India?

I will inject the following: Did you know that after the October Revolution that founded the USSR, both England and America immediately invaded? This is actually how Winston Churchill (an alcoholic) got his career started, as an avowed anti-Bolshevist. Did you know that unlike Hitler, Lenin immediately cancelled all foreign debts upon taking power?

Meanwhile, Hitler took power in the mid 1930s, and the allies did not open a front against him until 1944. Famously, he was on the cover of Time magazine, and the British royal family famously gave a Hitler salute in a photograph. Mussolini was sworn into office by the King of Italy himself, and not by a popular act.

To act as though the "Germanic" world order was decidedly against Hitler is ahistorical jibber put forward to justify the existence of those regimes: the reality is that they waited on the sidelines of the real USSR-Nazi conflict until the last possible moment to prevent the USSR from conquering all of Europe. As I have already shown, a number of ex-Nazis were afterwards recruited into NATO, an anti-communist organization.

@Prometheus88

What are your views on race? Are you in favour of multi-racialism? Or do you want to racially cleanse the west as badly as I do?

If you had consistently bet on the "racially superior" category, you would have made the wrong choice for pretty much every conflict of the 20th and 21st century. Materialism and modes of production, cheap Soviet stamped-steel machine guns, decided the failure of those imperialist wars, and not race. Just as they decided the imperialist wars of the 19th century, when European armies armed with modern firearms fought people who often just had spears and shields.

Naturally you will protest and call this pattern of history dysgenic, which would make your epistemology Gnostic. But my philosophy is more simple. Principles that win are better than those that lose. Mao Zedong was probably the best Clausewitzian war theorist of the 20th century.

I don't like irrational migration as put forward by capitalist interests, FWIW. Criminal people of any race should be treated accordingly, including the lumpenproletariat elements of the homeless. But do recall that it was Communist East Germany that built the Berlin Wall.

@Prometheus88

I can’t believe goofy niggas like you genuinely believe money is more real and important than your own blood, it’s comical how pathetic your worldview is.

Oh, I don't think money is more important than blood. That's what your rulers, a number of whom share your blood, think. Which is why I oppose them directly on those terms.

Uniting over being poor is so pathetic.

I agree. That's the Trotskyist error: fetishizing poverty and the poor instead of ending them as categories.

That is why Soviet soldiers had to be forced at the threat of death to fight and why Germans fought for the sake of fighting.

Nazi Germany had penal battalions. Look it up.

Communist ethos is so fucking gay. I hate geeky commies like you that can’t understand why your ideas only appeal to dysgenic queers.

Yes, only this brand of communism was allowed to exist in the USA after McCarthyism. Russia and China represent the true opposition.

@Prometheus88

Look at communist antifa’s mug shots, they are the ugliest human waste I’ve ever seen.

Yeah. Those guys are under/unemployed Trotskyists, who in History actually collaborated with the Nazis to attack Stalin's USSR. Remember that guy from your JQ infographics, Trotsky, aka. Lev Bronstein? Stalin famously had him assassinated with an ice axe for reasons that are rarely understood in America. You can read Losurdo if you care to learn.

I don’t care about the Middle East nigga, they can blow each other up for all I care.

Naturally I only truly care about my own people, once we have secured our future existence, then maybe I will have some bleeding heart altruism for some foreigners.

Mm. Basically correct position. The thing is that the future existence of your people more-or-less depends on the failure of the ruling class internationally, and this is one of their chief investments. That's pretty much the extent to which I care about it myself. Beyond esoterica relating to epistemological divides.

I'm sure you could pick some ruling-class capitalist of your particular lineage out from the big American financialist oligarchy. If you were to raise an olive branch of ethnic solidarity at him he would laugh right in your face. The Human struggle is a Class struggle first and foremost.

@Prometheus88

Many of the great figures of History were left-wing aristocrats: Julius Caesar, George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte, Sun Yat-Sen. Your mythological namesake too, actually, if we count that. Prometheus disrupted the "natural aristocracy" of the Greek Gods in order to give fire to Man and was severely punished for it.

Even without getting into the actual Communist leaders many of which also came from money, for it is in some sense exactly this class which has the means to be intellectual. Che Guevera, Friedrich Engels, Zhou Enlai, come to mind, if we want to avoid all Joooooos.

It's funny. I wonder how you process politics that fall outside of the usual 4chan.org/pol patterns. What do you think of Israel, a right-wing Epic Based Ethnostate of Jews? Do you prefer Arabs, Hamas and Islam over them? But what of their connection to liberal college students, is Hamas secretly Jewish too? The Russia-Ukraine war? i know a few Ukrainian Jews that left because of the Nazism there (abouts the 2000s), does that mean you support Ukraine? But isn't Ukraine supported by the Jewish United States, losing the war, and bringing in LGBT ideology among other things? Isn't their President, Zelensky, literally Jewish?

Or more likely, you don't (yet) have the mental equipment to think about such things.

@Prometheus88 Mm. Now you see part of why it is a question of objective reality to me: their objectively wrong choice (which they had, for they decided to kill over their Capital and were killed in kind) meant death, losing limbs. Nothing esoterically noble about that, really.

Future generations that worked within the Soviet system were more successful in every meaningful sense: call it your favored "genetics". I don't take any pride in that being a relatively private matter and hope Peatarianism can bring "beauty, strength, intelligence", to as many as possible.

@Prometheus88 Likely more aristocratic than yours. The Bolshevik state killed my ancestors, who had unwisely taken up arms against them.

@Prometheus88

You are not actually right-wing, because you do not support the actual ruling class: I don't care about any Jew-oriented blabber you generate to justify the dissonance, I've heard all of it on four chan dot org many years ago.

It's fine. Basically everyone is confused in the same way, which is why nothing actually changes politically, which is by design. Much of the MAGA base is left-wing in real terms: their program (so they hope) asserts their Human needs to eat above that of Capital. I do not take them at their word when they call themselves "right wing".

You divide the world based upon man made social classes, I divide the world based upon Gods natural laws.

You're getting the idea. I understand the world based on what actually exists: you understand it based off of a personal idea of secret, inner power.

But the fact that you visit this forum (or wake up in the same material world every day) demonstrates that your world view is a dead end, because secret inner power does not lift you out of the effects of PUFA.

@Prometheus88

I will use fewer words to make it simple for you: if you were actually right wing, you would support the actual aristocrat Jeffrey Epstein. That's what it means to be right-wing: to support the ruling class. If you think it means something else, you are a victim of CIA psyops.

@Prometheus88 How do you reconcile your genetic-deterministic worldview with being particular about the influence of diet on being, the entire purpose of this forum? I mean, I have some idea how you might, but for some reason you think of this behavior as "right wing", likely as part of an alleged hidden upper-class discernment, when it is definitionally left-wing, the real improvement of the biological mitochondria, the individual commodity-producing units, materialism, mind not over matter. The "aristocratic superiors" of today ARE the political Saturday Night Live class, Jeffrey Epstein, liberalism, the Ivy League, NGOs, Think Tanks. You mean to say you are part of them? If not, your worldview is incoherent, with no real explanatory power.

https://x.com/PeatyMeals/status/1849883894000308443

@Prometheus88 Communism is the only thing that has meaningfully challenged the liberal-fascist world order, which created PUFA ideology, in the last 100 years.

@mostlylurking

All fair answers. You are somewhat more reasonable than I initially thought.

You lost me. The 5G is constant; the 6G is coming in 2025. 7G is planned too.

In the near-field, signals attentuate even more rapidly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

All of that is to say that the relative coherence of your body's electromagnetic field is dramatically stronger than communication signals from cell towers. By the same principle, your cell phone is much more of a concern than cell towers. It means that even the suburbanite is not necessarily strongly affected if they make certain choices.

I'm going to focus on my biofield and how to strengthen it from attack.

Fair enough. Go for it. But as Ray Peat himself said (referring to time spent in Mexico), optimal personal health is not the highest virtue: a sense of responsibility and purpose instead is. Don't get trapped in the purity spiral. Indeed, a sense of purpose is probably one of the better ways to insulate yourself from electromagnetic offenses.

Reclaiming your biofield is key.

Something-something "purity of our bodily fluids". Not really. Fulfilling your purpose is key. Good health is a tool that can be used towards certain ends. As an end in itself it is masturbatory, ungenerative.
