People need to be allowed to make their own mistakes and experience first hand why those are mistakes. Just like China had to first experiment with the bourgeois model during the Republican period before understanding that only the socialist path could lead to liberation, sovereignty and prosperity.

This also helps us understand the rise of communism in the Russian Federation. Capitalism has been disastrous, both imperialized and post-imperialized, and only socialism presents a genuine path forward for Russia.

Awesome! This looks really useful!

What have you tried to analyze thus far? Dialectical materialism is one of those fuzzy subjects that is both simpler and more complex than you first realize, the basics are easier to grasp than you think but the depth is far beyond what you imagine.

One example, for the transformation of quantity into quality, is the balloon. Balloons are filled with air, and eventually pop. This is due to the internal contradictions within the balloon, an unpopped balloon posesses the capacity to pop.

Historical materialism is the application of dialectical materialism to the course of human societal development. Using this, we can view class struggle, and how each mode of production creates its own negation, sublimating into a higher mode of production.

Would be nice if there was an .epub of this, I’ll try to dig more.

I’m sorry to hear that, comrade. Even well-meaning people can be cruel. It’s entirely uncalled for to ostracize you and speak about you behind your back, regardless of intensity of character.

Demotion from core to periphery in real time.

I recommend reading at least On Contradiction before moving on to Blackshirts and Reds. Politzer’s work is great as an intro, but makes some fundamental errors that Mao can help correct before they become set-in.

Stay safe, everyone. Keep up your studies and habits, take care of yourselves.

As always, communism will win.

You too comrade!

Yep, organizers in the US Empire need to tackle settler-colonialism as its primary contradiction.

Oh yea, it’s just kids goofing around.

Nice! Yep, I see it as a very good sign.

Kicking the shit out of your friends for no good reason is universal, I see, lol

No, the point is that as conditions worsen and we are further removed from the peak of the Red Scare, new generations are less exposed to that level of propagandizing and more sympathetic to communism.

Another graph to add to my collection…

Unsurprising. As Moidialectica said, most of these people aren’t MLs or even Trots, but the sheer trend over time is a very positive sign.

I do see more radicalization here in the US Empire. The funny thing is that the Black Panther Party is remembered overwhelmingly positively, but the views of the BPP have been obscured to the public, which is why it’s quite positively percieved by liberals with the odd confusion at them being Marxist-Leninists.

That comment was an alt account from a comrade over on Hexbear.
