Actually, this town has more than enough room for the two of us

He/him or they/them, doesn't matter too much

Marxist-Leninist ☭

Interested in Marxism-Leninism, but don't know where to start? Check out my Marxist-Leninist study guides, both basic and advanced!

  • I think you're doing a great job of showing how anti-communists are, personally.

  • The overwhelming majority of the time people have issues with Hexbear, it's the leftism.

  • It absolutely is, it’s the McCarthyian vision of a spooky scary communist that wants to gobble up all of the babies. It's used against Marxists and anti-imperialists to terminate discussion.

  • I'm a communist and that's false for me and every communist I know IRL that I work with, and is also false on an international scale. Communist parties are working class parties.

  • Considering "tankie" is just a pejorative for those who uphold socialism and oppose the US Empire, the "far right, conservative shite the tankies are smoking" is just Marxist theory.

  • "Tankie" is just a pejorative for those that uphold socialist countries as legitimate, and oppose the US empire. Communists are not anywhere close to MAGA, and pretending they are is sophistry.

  • I suppose to a certain degree that's true, I just don't trust the personal account of a Nazi that has been known to lie and that contradicts archival evidence.

  • Yep, Wikipedia is written largely by westerners using western consensus, even if such consensus has inaccuracies or better information is available post-opening of the soviet archives. You can even see it uses the Gulag Archipelago as a source, despite it being a work of fiction.

  • Yep, Marxism is communist.

  • I don't have "power" anywhere. Having issues with Marxists is still generally a bad thing that should be a broken rule.

  • Shutting out the voices of leftists is the rule in the meme? Sounds like we should break that.

  • Calling leftists "almost completely unhinged" is more of a self-tell than anything.

  • The point of 200 years together being listed is that we know that he's a liar and a conspiracy theorizing anti-semitic Nazi, so trusting his word alone on socialism makes no sense. We have every reason not to trust him and no reason to trust him, especially when he contradicts archival evidence on how prisons in the GULAG administration functioned.

    As for soviet prisons, they varied quite a lot depending on severity of the crime and location, with many being pretty progressive for the time. Visitation, open air prisons, and a focus on rehabilitation was common. I already linked Russian Justice, but you should absolutely read it.

  • If their problem wasn't with the communism but instead with the hatred they get, then Hexbear.net is good, which uses an allow-list for federation. It's a very chill instance to use.

  • Again, communists and Nazis are diametrically opposed.

  • Equating communists with Nazis is a form of Holocaust trivialization called "Double Genocide Theory."

  • Marxists absolutely have advice on how to organize, the problem is that it's very regional. Some parties are good, others are horrid, but the basics are to find a good organization local to you and join it. Protesting, reading theory, doing direct action and mutual aid, unionizing and striking, all are good ways to organize.

    None of us "simp" for the PRC or DPRK, and certainly not for the Russian Federation. We support socialist countries and critically support those working against the US empire.

  • The communist party is run by the working classes and derives its power from popular support. The people oppressed by communist parties were overwhelmingly fascists, landlords, and capitalists.
