Marxist-Leninist against liberal democracies. Without revolutionary theory there can be no revolutionary movement. Supporter of AES, BRICS+, and fair trade.
Oh wow so the CPC began to crack down on the anti-government rioters once they started killing PLA soldiers? They didn't just sit back and allow a bunch of college anarchists and paid agitators to sabotage the revolution their people fought so hard for? 🤯
The photographer Jeff Widener shot the famous Tank man photo on the morning of June 5th, as tanks are leaving Tiananmen Square.
He talked about the violence that he encountered on the night of June 3rd when everything went to hell:

Anyone who believes we can vote this away at the ballot-box is apart of the problem too. I'm getting to the point now where the lines are getting blurred between all the different types of liberals and fascists. They all prop up the same bourgeois institutions responsible.
There are several problems with "conservative" infrared Communism. They seem keen on preserving their male chauvinism which perpetuates patriarchal structures against women. Their implicit classism against the transgender and queer community is also anti-dialectical.

A lot of us can't wait 4 years it's a matter of life and death for us. Don't be surprised if we end up in the streets you might not be able to stop the revolution but you'll probably be cheering on the police like the fascists liberals always turn out to be.

These are the same people who will be saying "But pete got 2 million more votes than trump" when he inevitably loses in the general. (Not going to happen though because Bernie will be the nominee).
Am I the only one who kinda gets weird vibes from Cornel West when he speaks? He doesn't seem to really say anything of substance and he's not marxist apparently. Just another vague "progressive" type. He also believes the whole Uyghur genocide myth.

But at least he likely raped less than the republican nominee! We just need a little incrementalism and maybe some day we'll have a president who isn't a rapist. Hope and change yes we can blah blah.
@LivPosting
I will never understand how anyone can earn this when we have people living on the streets. I hate how normalized it is to not see this as a problem.
I'm just reminded about how much western media freaked out about those miniscule "anti-lockdown" protests in China. Meanwhile as you can so obviously see here, the people living in these "liberal democracies" have sustained protests resisting their capitalist governments.
I'm so tired of left liberals and their use of the word "tankie." All this discourse does is spook would-be communists and curious onlookers by reminding them of the past "failings" of previous or currently existing socialist experiments. All they do is spread bourgeois dogma.
@Galaxycathere
"Freedom and democracy" just translates to rugged individualism and neoliberal economic practices no less. Basically freedom is stepping on your neighbors throat to get ahead.
@PolByOtherMeans
Freedom to exist and freedom from the patriarchal late-stage capitalism which is bleeding everyone dry. Freedom from oppressive gender roles which put everyone in a box and shames you for trying to escape it.
I don't get this obsession by some western leftists to pick apart AES countries for not being puritanically Marxist enough or whatever without considering how they've had to adopt market reforms in order to compete in the global market and not be sanctioned into oblivion.
@DDXeon
Neoliberals don't care about the LGBTQ they just care about whatever political issues that can be exploited to justify their wars of conquest and regime change.
@ModalSevenths
Why not? What's the point of all this technological advancement and automation and shit if not to improve our lives? Housing and other basic necessities should absolutely be a right. Especially we're perfectly capable of providing everyone with them. Also.
So many on the American "left" appear to choose their political ideology almost entirely on "vibes" as if they're shopping for a toothbrush or something. They see some scary socialist uniforms and immediately lose their marbles yelling "Red fash!" or something else.

Maybe we should have an economy where people don't have to have 15 different side hustles to survive to begin with but that's just me.
The unfortunate reality that people refuse to accept is that the bourgeoise simply isn't going to budge no matter how large these mass-demonstrations get. It's like 300,000 people screaming into the void. What we need is regime change in this country and a revolution of the mind.
Timelapse of the 300,000 people that came to Washington, DC and marched on the White House to condemn Biden for blocking a ceasefire, and for funding genocide in Gaza.
Marxist-Leninists in the US need to decide where our allegiances lie and stick to it. Either form our own unique organization with a party line, or put all of our energy into existing parties that align most closely with our views.

The problem is constantly caving to bad ideas and politicians because you're afraid of the other guys. If you didn't give away your votes like you do then the "good guys" and those in the media that support them would have to actually listen to their constituents and push left.
So the fake left is just going to give the anti-war movement to grifters like Jackson Hinkle and his ilk huh? Amazing how quiet the activism gets when the blue fascist gets into power. I guess trump derangement syndrome is a real thing.
My problem with people who bring up things like the Holodomor constantly is that it obfuscates the fact that Capitalism is a much bloodier system. The 20th century was a time of great historical struggle. Calamities occurred in every government on the planet at that time.
@USMCCovan
She's a hero and you're a war criminal and fascist colonizer and probably rapist too. How many villages and crops did you burn down? How many innocent civilians did you murder?
I can't comprehend individuals who refuse to learn history or engage with theory. It's a golden opportunity to evade past errors and expedite our goals. If someone with as short of an attention span as mine can do it, anyone can. It's our responsibility to our children and planet

Neoliberal capitalist policy has killed hundreds of millions of people. That lady is doing tiktok dances on their graves it's not cute.
@ArmrcGrypr
People have to eat and afford to live. That's capitalism for you. Besides sometimes people want to do something besides make TikTok videos for a living.
Self-immolations like this are a direct failure of the disorganized left in the West whom reject ideological struggle and support trade-union consciousness instead. Aaron Bushnell was enough no more setting yourselves on fire please do the work instead.
