The silver lining is that liberals are now more open to radicalization now, in my experience. Lenin continues to be vindicated by each liberal failure to challenge fascism.

I can see liberals rewriting history in several years, claiming that the genocide in Palestine is a problem started under Trump. Hopefully I am wrong.

Oof

Uhmmm… based?! PSL actually getting strapped like a good org should?

Edit: oof, it’s not PSL, it’s the Party for Socialism and Labor, not the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

Trotsky has sent me a silly DM. We shall neither open it nor reply to it.

Average Vaushite opinion

This is fake, Lenin would be in the trenches until 3 am every night just to dunk on Kautsky one more time, “logging off” would be foreign to him

Good guy Lenin

100%. It’s far more exhausting talking to these “ultra-leftists” that operate more on vibes than Matetialism than it is to speak with liberals about AES, in my experience. It’s intellectual anti-intellectualism, Marxist Anti-Marxism.

“Left” anticommunists have a romantic affair with tragedy. Anything successful becomes too real for them with real, human problems to deal with, anything unsuccessful can remain ideologically pure and rebellious in spirit eternally. That’s why so many “leftists” oppose AES. That’s why they genuinely hate structures like Democratic Centralism.

It’s tiring to explain Marxism to “leftists” that think they can understand Marx without reading him.

Friendly reminder that the USSR was invaded by no fewer than 14 Capitalist countries right after the October Revolution, the CIA admitted to trying and failing 634 times to assassinate Fidel Castro, and a total of 635,000 tons of bombs, including 32,557 tons of napalm, were dropped on the DPRK, destroying 85% of all North Korean buildings. By comparison, the U.S. dropped 500,000 tons in the Pacific theater during all of World War II (including 160,000 on Japan).

Ayyyy LET’SSS GOOOO! GREAT JOB!

The closest I’ve seen on Lemmy is Hexbear’s Mutual Aid community, where users help each other out financially when in need.

Join communities focused on political theory more, you get more analysis than simply X Bad.

Dilaectical Materialism is influenced by Hegel’s Dialectical Idealism, but rejects the majority of it as idealism. A good primer is Elementary Principles of Philosophy, by Georges Politzer, which goes over the history of Idealism, Dialectics, and Materialism, before showing how they gave way to Dialectical and Historical Materialism.

It requires reading to understand, but certainly no PhD!

Course not, that’s why I always tell people to read theory and join an org like PSL or FRSO.

I know for a fact I have gotten a few dozen people to read at least a little bit of theory, converted a few to Marxism-Leninism, and helped encourage at least one comrade to join an org. The numbers are low, yes, but that’s important nonetheless.

Lemmy was made by Communists, it has a ton of Communists and Anarchists as a consequence. Believe it or not, Leftist outreach is working on Lemmy.

To be fair, voting is less than the bare minimum effort required to enact meaningful change.

They have been, they just make alts.

Support for Israel is right-wing, not because Israel is genocidal, but because support for Israel is how the US secures the Petro-Dollar and brutally extracts the Global South with predatory IMF loans. It’s Imperialism in action.
