![Article from Revolupedia titled “Socialism With Chinese Characteristics.” The main body of the page reads “Socialism with Chinese Characteristics[a] (abbreviated SwCC) is the fascist ideology of the modern People's Republic of China and Communist Party of China. It was developed by the capitalist roader and revisionist theorist Deng Xiaoping, who declared in 1982, "We must integrate the universal truth of Marxism with the concrete realities of China, and blaze a path of our own and build a Socialism with Chinese Characteristics". Socialism with Chinese Characteristics denies the critical role of class struggle in the construction of socialism and instead seeks to build a class collaborationist and corporatist system in addition to promoting chauvinist and nationalist sentiments. The term "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics" is also anti-Marxist in nature, as the general laws for building socialism would be the same everywhere, even if localized material conditions are taken into account](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0dd24b6c-9b4f-44b0-8f68-58885e1d49b9.jpeg)
11·3 days agoI think it’s a joke no?
8·3 days agoWithout revealing too much, I’m a member of a small branch, maybe a dozen members. We’re growing very quickly but we’re still definitely small. However, the national structure of the PSL allows us to punch far above our weight. When Maduro was kidnapped, we had 400 people show out to a demonstration with twelve hour notice. In a small city this is huge. While we were in the streets the (much larger) local DSA was putting out a both sides wrong statement (Maduro is a dictator BUT…) while the anarchist folks were locked in fierce internal debate (heard that theough the grapevine).
Yes, you’re right in that current tactics aren’t disrupting too much and likely due to limited capacity at the moment. However, we are growing at unprecedented rates and have the structure to truly respond once we’re ready.
The PSL is the real deal, able to turn in a dime nationwide. This is why you see Trump going on an unhinged rant about how we all have the same signs. If you’re not a member of an organization, I highly encourage you to join, or if you’re a part of another organization or union to direct them to work with the PSL.
The strength of the PSL vs organizations such as DSA is its ability to coordinate nation wide through its national organization. If the decision was made to escalate nationwide, I guarantee you every branch would do so.
Read Marx’s critiques of Georgism.
You can still join the PSL as a whole, and they will give you a ton of help towards building a chapter if that’s what you want to do. Or, you could just be an organized comrade without a local branch.
So these files are gonna be completely censored right?
My local explicitly socialist org got extensive media coverage and membership/interest increased by double after these protests. We must meet the people where they are and push them further left rather than be fucking redditor ass losers, criticizing any movement that is not the revolution. If you’re able to, and you’re not outside touching grass and organizing I respectfully judge you. The vanguard will not be found on hexbear dot net.
2·2 months agoI really enjoy nat geo, it can be crazy libbed up though.
Right? They’re so sick.
Ooh this seems promising thanks!
Lowkey thinking about starting my own magazine, think that could be neat.
11·3 months agoI’ve been doing a lot of work with my org and it’s really giving me hope about the potential here. Anyone who tells you the US will never have a revolution is dead wrong. The number of people who came up to us at the no kings protests wanting to do more and learn about socialism was frankly insane.
This is something the PSL is starting to push. There was a webinar yesterday talking about the idea and across the country you saw identical signs and banners reading “Defend Democracy: It’s time for a general strike.”
12·3 months agoThey are a crucial point of radicalization and you are all infantile left wing communists if you are able to go and choose not to.

Nah, it’s the most crucial tool we have in our arsenal when movements are at this deescalated movement — videos of incidents from every possible angle.
