Interesting. Are these “8 points of unity” something historical are these the principles of a current party?

Is this not just already the existing ideology of Marxism-Leninism? Because the USSR under Lenin and Stalin had this, China and Cuba have this too, as well as DPRK and the other AES.
This is from the party of communists USA, which is super new afaict
PCUSA Has a good party line, but jeebus christ is thier website ugly lol. Hopefully that’s because they’re too busy doing things in real life lol
I’ve come to a point that I’m genuinely infuriated by strict anti-revisionists. The people who refuse to accept that dialectics have to change along with material conditions. I.E. being against the factions of the USSR that wanted to deliberalize the SU but evolve socialism in a modern lense, or being against Deng and the current in China to evolve past Mao into the modern era.
If a Marxist can’t accept that ideology needs to be flexible, they really shouldn’t be dognosing others on revisionism. That’s a pipeline straight to left-communism.
Yeah, that’s kind of the whole thing with the scientific part in scientific communism. Applying it dogmatically misses the whole point.

the point I’m making is against people who aren’t just against right-revisionism, but against left-revision also.
I.E. “[x country/organization] isn’t socialist anymore because of [way they changed Marxism to fit their material conditions]” Example: “The USSR stopped being Socialist when Stalin took power, he ended the 5 years plan a year early and exported Socialism in a way that certain Marxists of the time didn’t agree with” or “China isn’t Socialist because Deng opened the markets, and now there are billionaires in the party.”
If you’re the kind of anti-revisionist who is incapable of understanding why those things happen, you’re ultimately just aiding anti-communism.
Oh yeah I hate in when people are like that. Do they really think that socialism is a one size fit all program that can just be rolled out after the revolution? The capitalists are eternally crafty and always adapting to new challenges, so are we to just face imperialism the same way in order to remain pure marxists? How about we limit ourselves to spreading the word by handing out leaflets and standing on soapboxes as Marx would have? What a sad world that would be to live in, where there are NO socialist countries and there have never been. Because after all, even Lenin was flexible in his usage of Marxism, Marx said that it would be primarily the prolitariat in the revolution. Lenin should have ignored the peasants if he wanted to be a REAL socialist. /s
