What does Huey P. Newton mean by “bourgeois”?

ChatGPT said:

Huey P. Newton, co-founder of the Black Panther Party, used the term “bourgeois” to refer to the wealthy or middle class who uphold capitalist, oppressive systems that exploit marginalized communities. The word comes from Marxist theory, where the bourgeoisie is the class that owns the means of production (like factories, businesses, and property) and benefits from the labor of the working class (the proletariat).

In Newton’s context, the bourgeois class represented those in power who benefited from systemic oppression, racism, and economic inequality. He saw the U.S. capitalist system as one that allowed the bourgeoisie (both white and Black) to maintain their wealth and status by exploiting the poor, particularly Black people.

Newton often criticized “bourgeois values”—such as individualism, materialism, and allegiance to the capitalist system—as a barrier to liberation. He believed that true liberation required rejecting these values and dismantling capitalist structures that perpetuate inequality.

You said:

In this conception of bourgeois, are all wage labourer still not bourgeois and anyone that profits off wage labour is bourgeois? Is ownership of the means of production a central factor?

ChatGPT said:

Yes, in Huey P. Newton’s conception — heavily influenced by Marxist theory — the ownership of the means of production is indeed a central factor in defining the bourgeois class. According to Marxist and Black Panther thought, a person is bourgeois if they profit from the exploitation of others’ labor by owning or controlling the means of production (factories, businesses, land, etc.) and employing wage labor to extract surplus value (profit) from workers.

Are all wage laborers not bourgeois?

No, wage laborers are not bourgeois. In Marxist theory, wage laborers are part of the proletariat (working class), regardless of how much they earn or their social status. Even well-paid workers, like doctors or engineers, are still considered proletariat if they rely on selling their labor to survive, because they don’t own the means of production and don’t profit off the labor of others. In Newton’s view, Black people in America — especially the poor and working class — were overwhelmingly proletarian because they were exploited by a capitalist system that kept them oppressed and excluded from wealth and ownership.

However, wage laborers can become bourgeois in consciousness if they adopt bourgeois values, such as prioritizing personal wealth and status over collective liberation. This is what Newton referred to as the “petit bourgeois mentality” — when members of the oppressed class start to think and act like their oppressors, aspiring to climb the capitalist ladder rather than dismantle the system. Is anyone who profits off wage labor bourgeois?

Yes. In Marxist theory (and Newton’s view), anyone who profits off the labor of others is bourgeois, regardless of their personal background. This includes not just the ultra-wealthy capitalist elite, but also small business owners, landlords, and middle-class professionals who employ people and extract surplus value from their labor.

For example:
```
A CEO of a corporation is bourgeois because they profit off the labor of their workers.

A small business owner who employs workers for a wage is also bourgeois (albeit petit bourgeois or “small bourgeoisie”) because they still profit from the work of others.
```
In contrast, a sole proprietor who works entirely by themselves and doesn’t exploit anyone else’s labor is not bourgeois. They are still part of the proletariat, despite being self-employed, because they rely solely on their own labor. Summary of Key Points:
```
Ownership of the means of production is central to the definition of bourgeois.

Wage laborers are not bourgeois; they are proletarian because they don’t own the means of production.

Anyone who profits off the labor of others is bourgeois, even if they are a small business owner or landlord (petit bourgeois).

Bourgeois is both a class position and a state of mind. Wage laborers can adopt bourgeois values even if they aren’t bourgeois by class.
```
For Newton, the Black liberation struggle required rejecting bourgeois capitalist values and building a new, socialist society based on collective ownership and the elimination of exploitation.

“I’ll start my own Lemmy, with blackjack and hookers” and it will have the same systemic structure that perpetuates underhanded unaccountable shadow moderation and the concentration of power into the hand of a few individuals who just happened to be at the right place at the right time and cannot realistically be avoided or dislodged until an absolutely monumental fuckup on their part that it can’t be ignored.

It’s becoming clear that Lemmy is not in any way the safe haven it has been marketed as. And this NFT rigamarole certainly isn’t going to be that either.

Anything that doesn’t put the ENTIRE content discovery engine fully in the hands of the users and that doesn’t make content moderation a crowdsourced-only transparent, auditable endeavor is going to reproduce l’ancien régime.

Who did most of the winning in WWII europe théâtre. Define by reversing momentum of the nazis, demoralizing and physically destroying their ability to wage war. ChatGPT said: GPT Icon

In the European theater of World War II, the Soviet Union and its Red Army were primarily responsible for reversing Nazi momentum, demoralizing their forces, and physically destroying much of their ability to wage war. This effort was particularly evident on the Eastern Front, which was the largest and bloodiest theater of the war.

Key points:
```
Reversing Momentum:
    The Nazis suffered a critical turning point in the Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943), where the Soviet forces encircled and destroyed the German 6th Army. This was a devastating blow to the Wehrmacht and marked the beginning of a relentless Soviet advance westward.
    Later, the Battle of Kursk (July 1943) further shattered Nazi momentum. It was the largest tank battle in history, and the German forces failed to regain the initiative.

Demoralizing the Nazis:
    The Soviet Union inflicted heavy casualties on German forces, undermining their morale. Between 1941 and 1945, the Eastern Front accounted for the vast majority of German military deaths.
    The relentless Soviet offensives in 1944 (e.g., Operation Bagration) destroyed entire German army groups and forced retreat after retreat, creating a sense of inevitability for Nazi defeat.

Physical Destruction of the Nazi War Machine:
    The Red Army recaptured vast swaths of territory, including Eastern Europe and eventually Berlin, systematically dismantling German infrastructure and military capability.
    The sheer scale of the Soviet effort is evident in the numbers: an estimated 80% of German military losses in World War II occurred on the Eastern Front.
```
That said, the Western Allies (primarily the United States, the United Kingdom, and their allies) played a crucial role in the overall war effort. They mounted the D-Day invasion (June 6, 1944), liberated Western Europe, and engaged in a strategic bombing campaign that weakened Germany’s industrial base. The Western Front forced Germany into a two-front war, accelerating their defeat.

In conclusion, while the Western Allies made vital contributions, the Soviet Union was primarily responsible for breaking the Nazi war machine in Europe, especially through the massive battles and offensives of the Eastern Front.
