Communist Traditionalism and the Destruction of Anime

Matthew, The United Kindom under Socialist Rule

The Problem of Anime
Although there might have been innocent enough early productions (Pokémon etc.), the problem with anime becomes clear when you have grown men watching some show about school life of young teenagers and becoming enamoured with the idea of the schoolgirl and these inherently sexual portrayals of the "concept" of the child. These shows are almost exclusively made for the enjoyment of the adults. Whereas in Mao's China shows set in schools would be relatable to schoolchildren and made for them, not for some pervert to live some vicarious life through the notion of high school girls or whatever. It's so damn perverted.

Notice how this does not manipulate the body in a way to foster perversion. Yes it is not photographically perfect, but it does not mess with proportions or do this giant puppy eye stuff to evoke feelings of "cuteness" or whatever. I don't think forms of the human being in media have to be perfect representations always, they can be simplified styles like in these Maoist cartoons, but the deliberate warping to elicit some reaction - especially when relating to the generative faculties or involving children (which anime merges!) - is perverse as far as I am concerned.

Contrast anime with this Chinese cartoon, the children in it are realistic enough, and the cartoon is for child viewers to identify it with themselves, not for older viewers to be presented some idea of the child for their own enjoyment. Hence this animation doesn't have the paedophilic undertones of anime. The way anime draws and distorts the human person (eyes, etc.) necessarily leads to the rise of "lolicon". The problem is that it arises inherently from anime, simply turning back the wheels will only delay it from coming back.

Videos of actual humans and more realistic animated representations doesn't necessarily lead to these same things, as an intrinsic part of the genre in the way anime does. I would argue the anime art style itself, even in a different society, always causes this to arise, it is not just a matter of it reflecting the evil of modern Japan, it is driving the evil of that country. The problem with anime is the way in which it distorts the human body leads to perversion even when not an explicitly sexual cartoon (sometimes they really are in content just about the lives of children at school or playing music etc., but you bet if it was a live action version of that, the anime viewers would have no interest), the way men are finding these overchildish depictions of young girls cute and adopting them as identities especially for themselves online, it's creepy stuff and near enough intrinsic to the medium I'd say.

The Cutting Edge Destroys Degeneracy
You look at these things like the fascist discords, they're just teeming with degenerates, anime pfps, femboys with swastikas, there's no Conservative authenticity there whatsoever.

It's like there's some excess that Conservatism by itself cannot address and leads to a corrupted form and scandal, probably the excess alienation of technological modernity. It doesn't allow us to return to our comfortable, cozy, Conservative norms that we are familiar with. There is something alienating about the changes that are happening, and one of the ways of coping with it is turning that immediate authenticity of Conservative life into a fantasy. Then all of a sudden you get furry alt-right, and weird degenerates getting in on it because you can't just be the thing. You can't just be a normal person with a family and basic traditional gender norms and family values, etc.

That's why the cutting edge is so important. People get confused when we say Communism is inherently Conservative because the dialectical aspect gets lost on them. Like Dugin talks about archeomodernity, in Communism the Conservative aspect is not the projection of some fantasy of wholesome, comfortable and familiar life, but is the response to the tragedy of the letting loose of the wildest excesses of imagining the future and having this kind of alienation that comes with modernity, we run into some kind of immanent dialectical contradiction.

It's the reference of that contradiction which is the object of true Traditionalism and Conservativism. When you enter that excess which we have to deal with somehow, and mirror that conservatism with some kind of artificial and imaginary form of replicating it, you end up with it's total opposite.

We begin with normal family life and sense of what's familiar and what's normal and then get faced with some kind of alienation which separates us from this immediacy, this is modernity. What you tend to want to do is return to the immediacy, but how do you return to the original human social bonds, family life, etc we lost? We can't just pretend like that alienation didn't just happen. It needs to be addressed somehow. And if you don't address it anime pfps conservatives is what's going to happen.

You begin with that immediate family life, and then the alienation comes in. Then there's no way of representing that original thing we used to have, except through the vary medium of that same alienation. We can't even represent the traditional past of mediaeval days without using the Internet anymore. We have to use YouTube videos and the Internet, make movies and have these online discord communities.

Then what? Wink wink, and on the side there's degeneracy, furries, porn use, etc. But Communists are way more Conservative than this right. Way more traditional and ultraconservative than the right wing. The right says something like "anime is degenerate but only because they don't conform to my image of what a good family is". All superficial projections. That's why on the side no matter how much lipservice they give to calling it degenerate, there always ends up with continued partaking in those things. Like there's some kind of pathological need to have an anime pfp, to be tempted by furry degenerate femboys porn stuff.

We're out here, we're Stalinists we're Maoists! It's not about the image, we are FUNDAMENTALLY traditional. We're not just replicating some image of tradition, we are arriving at the basis of what normal human norms are, through the full exhaustion of technological modernity.

It is only by the full embrace of modernity and the cutting edge, and that alienation, and from there we will rearrive at the basic limit upon which we define ourselves as human. It creates the source of where basic human norms and stuff comes from again. Not from some idealised image that's comfortable and makes your feel warm and like you're hugging your mum or something. We have to be men, and a lot of the "Conservativism" out here is just manchild coping tendencies. Being a man means GOING THROUGH IT. Not retreating, not reacting to it cautiously from the side.

That's what Marx was saying, we've got this capitalist modernity that's on the horizon and it's a tragedy. It utterly wiped out Europe's basis of religion, family, sexual morality, etc. What is the French revolution if not nude fornicators hanging their clergy and decapitating nuns?

What can we do after this? Cling onto what little of our society is left to protect our teddy bear? "Don't touch my teddy bear!" I look around England today, and there is honestly very little left to even conserve. To think we were once called Mary's dowry and renowned for being the most pious in the world, there is barely anything even to grasp onto even if we wanted to. Only buildings and objects really.

So we have to say we're going through it, it means in this degenerate Internet of onlyfans, anime we have been looking at the wrong culprit! Instead of saying the problem is technology, the Internet, the new social networks that change the way we are interacting, what if it's the opposite? That we are idealising the past at the very point we have no contact with it anymore? What if when we embrace the full power of the Internet, the digital age, the 4th Industrial Revolution, when we embrace the real Great Reset, the power of degeneracy will be wiped away? Fully embrace the total force of modernity and onlyfans and anime will disappear. It will be a new mediaeval age. Steel neogothic mega Cathedrals.

It's the opposite culprit that's responsible for degeneracy. It's not because of technology. We need to learn from Nick Land's accelerationism. The problem with Amazon isn't that it's too big or technologocally transformative. We will seize Amazon and go forward. Want to end furries and anime? Let's accept this future with our sober senses and rewelcome to re-emergence of the wisdom of the past when it authentically discloses itself to us. But we can't worship and artificially idealise the image of the past.

The biggest lesson from Marx is that we have to go through this process and only when we do are we going to be able to authentically arrive at the true essence of the past again after its destruction by modernity. So we have to have both that cutting edge and the respect and veneration of the wisdom of the past, but not based on idealised images but something concrete and human. That's Stalinist Conservativism.

Being able to embrace the alienation from the Internet as the ground of new freedom is how we will destroy the evil and degeneracy. Embrace the shining cutting edge. Not in an avante garde sense, but there's a future ahead of us, and instead of running away from us we should be at the forefront of it and embracing it.
