The Principles of Gangster Bolshevism
The principles of being a Gangster Bolshevik
The following are the main principles found within the ideology of “Gangster Bolshevism.” Originally a Facebook group chat in 2009, Gangster Bolshevism is a set of beliefs that goes against the normal and demands a transgressive and eccentric punk-rock takeover of the state and culture. Daryl Basarab is the current ideologue of the movement. He wrote the following for anyone curious about its political positions.
The GB Principles
(we do not demand agreement on every issue for participation in the group)
Support for your clique and allied cliques instead of the entire “movement,” society, nation, race, etc. See “Against The Egalitarian Canon.”
Regionalism. Support for the local area, but not “bourgeois nationalism.” However, “progressive nationalism” is an acceptable viewpoint.
Support for a class struggle.
Not an open advocacy of violence, but a quiet admiration of people who are in jail.
Gangster Bolsheviks take a termite view towards society.
Disrespect for authority when you aren’t on the same page as the authority.
Study of both Fascist and Marxist thinkers. Preference for a Socialist revolution, then after that, a mob-like authoritarian rule.
The capitalist state never “withers away” it is replaced. Lenin was correct on this.
The socialist state will not “wither away” either. It will simply complete the class struggle and either be reformed or replaced.
The state is only opposed as a tool of class oppression. Gangster Bolshevism is not anarchy!
Gangster Bolsheviks tend to admire Pol Pot, Stalin, Mao, and Kim Il-Sung. They tend to dislike Trotsky.
“Work the system” mentality. Get the cash. (Most Gangster Bolsheviks consider Bernie Madoff a hero).
Opposition to placing all the blame on “The Jews.” Instead, capitalism and class conflict are used to explain phenomena such as changes in modes of production, job loss/gain, massive immigration, imperialistic wars, and globalization. Jews themselves are seen as being divided by class interests.
“Opiate of the people” view towards religion.
Support for ethical codes that make sense. Don’t believe in religious morality.
Gangster Bolsheviks may take a pragmatic view and work with religious groups to drive out imperial forces.
“The clique” may forge alliances with other races and nations against the bourgeois class.
None of this “we are all the same” stuff. A clique may contain different types of people in the same clique, but we are not “all the same.” In fact, Gangster Bolsheviks reject political correctness completely.
Gangster Bolsheviks see extreme music (heavy metal, gangster rap) as being “socialist realism.” It is our approved media.
“If you're into it, I'm out of it.” Or, “No pity for the majority!”
