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’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…
