Is it about to go to poo?

Which do you think says that class struggle doesn’t exist under socialism? Your wording isn’t clear. The State is an instrument of class oppression and so the existence of a socialist state implies class struggle exists. Mao also held that class struggle continues to exist in socialism and I’ve never heard any ML or MLM reject this. Can you point me to something to read?

Struggle Sessions absolutely sees revolution as splintering the USA into several nations according to the ML definition of a nation. The Black Nation for one: https://struggle-sessions.com/2018/08/06/in-further-commemoration-of-black-august/ I don’t see an article on it but the Navajo Nation as well.

He could do both, no? Release the stream and then the condensed version a couple of weeks later. BayArea415 did that I think

Huh? Marxist-Leninist-Maoists just add to Marxism-Leninism. Just because something is ML doesn’t mean MLMs don’t uphold it also. But the focus on having a correct political line, the necessity of ideological struggle, and self critisism are emphasized much more clearly in Mao than what I’ve read from Lenin in my experience. It might be in Lenin, I’ve only read a few of his books.

Plus, ML was synthesized by Stalin after Lenin’s death, so I don’t see what your point about MLM being synthesized after Mao’s death has to do with anything.

MLM upholds AES but probably differ from what you consider to be AES. They think China under Deng is revisionist, but support the USSR and China under Mao. That’s a small difference and one that should be resolved through ideological struggle, not just dismissal IMO.

From Gonzalo they get (as I understand) the universality of protracted people’s war (which comes from Mao’s take on dialectical materialism), concentric construction (basically a formalization Lenin in What Is to be Done) and I think “excellent leadership” which I only have a vague idea of.

So what do you mean by revisionist? I have always understood revisionist to mean basically stripping Marxism of it’s revolutionary essence or anti-capitalist essence. MLM doesn’t do that.

To say Maoists uphold lying in order to manipulate people… That’s a hefty claim I’ve never seen any evidence of before. And honestly it sounds like an unprincipled accusation that comes from not wanting to engage with thinking/writing.

Austin pd set up a sonic weapon early in the protests but took it down without (to my knowledge) ever using it

Like you think they are going to straight up lie about facts?

The Maoist position is that success comes from having a correct political line, which comes from struggling with ideas and self critisism a la dialectical materialism. You don’t get power by trying to manipulate people through lies: you get power by demonstrating integrity and challenging yourself and others to arrive at an accurate political assessment that come from clear and correct principles.

Yeah not going to watch 3 hours. Editing would be great

If they were a CIA honeypot they wouldn’t broadcast any political ideas except “communication should be free and private”

In regards to prosecuting the cop who murdered George Floyd: “Just as for the protestors this is about more than George Floyd, for the police this is about more than Derek Chauvin”

I read your comment on the accelerationism thread, including the Lenin piece, and then this. I like your style

The sex and intimacy in my relationship with my wife is so solid that I probably didn’t need paternity tests, but I got them anyway so I could make epic owns on twitter

How authoritarian!

The point is to reach libs on the fence though

This makes me think of Qanon folks as well

This is from the party of communists USA, which is super new afaict

Meh stuff like that doesn’t seem helpful to me. It’s like the “I’m going to hell for this” of communists. Everyone who already gets it sees you, and everyone who doesn’t have the info or framing is deeply offended and hardened in their anti-communist position

I think that’s why it’s an good place to post

It says removed by the moderators. I swear every thread outside tankie reddit I post in gets removed. I think it’s more a function of what draws me to post rather than my actual comments haha.
