How have they maintained their ideological purity so well, even after reform and opening up? How come the CPSU let figures like Khruschev slip in through the cracks?

    I have nothing to add. I think we’re pretty much on the same level here. I also have a lot to learn still.

      I’ve only been an ML for… maybe 5 years? 6? 7? And honestly, some communists I know have been that for 50 or 60.

      And I realized that there is a lot I don’t know beyond the “classics” and some of my special interests in ML.

      I mean, there’s what’s on paper and then there’s what is yet to be discovered or ascertained.

      Honestly, like I said, I do… think that the CultRev was probably necessary. In fact, I think it was, issues with it aside. Could you imagine if China was not socialist nowadays? All the other AES nations would fold, tbh…
