which grew out of the 1917 revolution and to lay the theoretical foundation for the 21st century the principle of information wants to be free fits leninism as a bullet does a rifle a glossary of key terms the proletariat will use in waging information war and implementing transparency the bourgeoisie will not be able to withstand the organized effort of the proletariat to wage information war what is going on with this site what is ben seattle up to the good the bad and the ugly last updated may 8 2002 proletarian democracy how will economics politics and culture work when the working class runs modern society how the communications revolution will transform the left ecosystem a communist trend of trends will eradicate sectarianism puncture the influence of reformism and capture the imagination of millions what will a communist economic and political system look like in the modern world will the dictatorship of the proletariat censor the internet architecture for victory how the proletariat will use information war to mobilize millions for the overthrow of bourgeois rule communist theory and practice will combine to deliver to millions of workers in the advanced industrialized countries the news that the fundamental solution to all the problems of the modern world is the overthrow of the system of bourgeois rule and its replacement with something that has never existed workers rule under modern conditions theory of workers rule under modern conditions the rule of the rich will be broken the economic cultural and political life of society will no longer be ruled by the wealthy or subordinate to the needs of corporate profits sources of bourgeois wealth will be confiscated all attempts by those with any remaining form of wealth or privilege to leverage their resources and seize control of society will be smashed workers will run society without restriction workers will have the democratic right to hear and voice uncensored views and form

on the basis of collaborative filtering what is progress to date notes of an information theorist critical mass a communist movement worthy of the name can only organize itself around a theory of workers rule that is fit for the modern world but before this can happen charlatanism and denial must be smashed digital infrastructure and the emergence of communist transparency how web accessible databases will assist the self organization of the anti revisionist communist movement a revolution communications medium is poised to fall into the hands of a revolutionary class and with it over the next several decades the power of the mass media is destined to fall into the hands of the masses what are the decisive tasks to create a communist movement after seven decades of betrayal and confusion read 1917 was the beta version the decisive task in practice is to create a web based news service open to all trends and created such that no single trend or group of trends could dominate it in such a way as to censor or exclude other trends the decisive task in theory is to provide a clear picture of workers rule the decisive theoretical task is to show how the system of workers rule will suppress the bourgeoisie without also suppressing the working class and thus paving the way for the domination of a new class of privileged exploiters as happened in the soviet union china and other socialist countries beam me up scotty the proletariat ascendent why the next 50 years will be unlike any that have gone before digital infrastructure transparency information war and the

future __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ by continuing our political development and harnessing the the power of the coming revolution in communications we can help to lay the foundation for a communist trend of trends with the ability to eradicate sectarianism from our ranks puncture the influence of reformism over a vast audience capture the imagination of workers in their millions and mobilize our class to ignite a fire that cannot be extinguished the coming revolution in communications now in its earliest stages is already beginning to demonstrate its potential to influence the development and interaction of marxist and would be marxist organizations in the next decade or so the communications revolution holds promise to completely transform the left ecosystem at present consisting predominantly of squabbling sectarian grouplets craven reformists and the just plain confused in place of this will likely emerge a dynamic and powerful system of communist organizations which will both compete and cooperate with one another at levels which at present may seem inconceivable this series is being written for serialization on a sporadic basis for the spoon s marxism international m i listserv a cyberleninist perspective on information war riding the crest of the wave of the communications revolution we are going to bring information war as a battle of ideas as a struggle for consciousness to the masses as a vehicle for their aspirations what the hell do you mean by that fighting words the bourgeoisie and its apologists and flunkies seek to control the language so that they can control the ability of the proletariat to think and reason politically language as an instrument of consciousness is both a passive target and an active weapon in the sphere of information war the definitions of key terms are themselves objects of struggle and represent contested terrain here are definitions worth fighting for zhang shanguang and the proletarian revolution criminal or courageous activist zhang shanguang a political activist in china was recently sentenced to ten years in prison for giving an interview to a foreign reporter some believe that zhang s imprisonment is necessary to prevent china from being ruled by a class of wealthy and powerful thugs others believe that china is already ruled by a group of wealthy and powerful thugs and that a real workers state would not be so afraid of the free flow of information the question is decisive to the proletarian revolution because a clear and unifying goal of a workers rule can never emerge to mobilize millions until a clear distinction can be made in the popular consciousness between workers rule and a police state read all about it or take an instant poll beam me up scotty coming attractions the digital infrastructure of the proletarian revolution humanity stands at the dawn of the greatest communications revolution in history the development of a global digital communications infrastructure promises as decade rolls after decade to release vast and ever increasing amounts of oxygen onto the fires of the class struggle setting the stage for an eventual political explosion of stellar magnitude on the transition to a communist economy a workers state would organize a communist sector of the economy side by side with a regulated capitalist sector the capitalist sector would itself consist of both private capitalism and state capitalism the communist sector would be a gift economy that would operate without money wages commodities or exchange it would be highly experimental and would grow as it learns what it is doing eventually competing with the capitalist economy and absorbing and transforming it as a developing chick does the white of an egg beam me up scotty last updated may 8 2002 what s going on with this site the good the bad and the ugly report by your correspondent ben seattle current report may 8 2002 this site has not had a decent overhaul in four years unfortunately it has been a long time since i have made more than minor updates to this site the pressure of other political work has made it necessary that i prioritize my tasks recently i put together a useful index to my current and past work including the email lists that i run my theoretical work and my work with digital infrastructure you are welcome to check this index out at http struggle net ben to get on the party of the future email list sent out a few times a year send email to pof 100 subscribe yahoogroups com also some of my recent activity can be

seventeen theses on the destiny of the revolution in communications and the concept of workers rule seattle anti imperialist alliance organizing opposition to the current and future imperialist wars previous report 1 may 98 1 transfer to www leninism org completed it took a lot more work than i thought it would but the entire cyberleninism site has now been transfered to its new home in the process i overhauled every single page i cleaned up all the dead links i also redesigned many of the pages to take advantage of the fact that hardly anyone is still using netscape 2 0 which can t handle colored tables the new server is faster and will also allow me to use automation in the form of active server pages 2 chapter 8 released of how to build the party of the future chapter 8 is the first chapter dealing with the period during which lenin was in power current plan is to release the chapters a month apart will this be realistic there was a 10 month gap between chapters 7 and 8 all released chapters are now posted at www leninism org pof together with most of the good discussion and some of the bad discussion instructions for posting your own comments or getting on the party of the future email mailing list are on that page check it out 3 cool animated button you can now link to this site using a cool animated button all you need to do is include the following in your html code lt cyberleninism ad gt lt a href http www leninism org gt lt img src http www leninism org images button gif width 88 height 31 border 0 alt www leninism org gt lt a gt lt p gt if you really like the button you can make it display at twice normal size by using width 176 and height 62 in the code above then it will look like this 4 forum is still frozen and the links page is still drastically overdue for an overhaul the good news however is that nearly every single dead link has been removed the forum and the links page will be functional better than ever as part of the site automation 5 site automation has been slightly delayed at least i hope the delay is slight it took me much longer than i thought to transfer this site to leninism org and overhaul every page automation will begin hopefully very soon now does soon mean days or months i hope it means days i ve got a lot of work to do tonite before i go to sleep so i ll sign off here best wishes to all the readers who give me encouragement ben seattle cyberred 1 may 98 2am previous report 14 nov 97 many readers are upset or disappointed that the forum has been frozen for more than 10 months here is one letter date wednesday october 15 1997 12 45 pm dear ben hi i m a big fan of your cyberleninism page but i m becoming concerned with the apparent inactivity in the site when do you plan to unfreeze your forum if ever and where can i get involved in an on line communist discussion until then ben replies here is the good the bad and the ugly the good the good news is that i plan to automate my site so that the forum will operate without my having to hand code the e mail i receive into html fix all the dumb mistakes that i make and then ftp everything up to my isp the bad the bad news is that before i can start this task i must finish at least the theoretical section of my how to build the party of the future series originally intended as a weekend project it will likely take me thru the end of the year i have written 7 chapters so far and am currently working on the chapters which sum up the period in which lenin was in power i have only had time to post the first 3 chapters but will post everything as soon as i have a chance the ugly the best forums that i know of for marxist related discussion are in the marxism space maintained by the spoon collective these are e mail based discussion lists the best of these spoon forums is marxism international i am not necessarily recommending these sites because few of the participants are serious about actually doing anything and the quality of the discussion is very uneven with occasional brilliance side by side with unbelievable stupidity but until there are marxist forums of higher caliber this is the best of which i am aware ps if you find a better forum please let me know ben seattle 14 nov 97 home links forum cyberleninist manifesto the digital fire 10 000 words the self organizing moneyless eco...
