Comrade:Comrade Penguin

Before answering the questions lined up, I'd like to provide a breif intro for myself. I'm a studying Marxist-Leninist in the USA, and I'm eager to end imperialist disinformation here in the belly of the beast.

Section 1:

1. Where did you find ProleWiki? I believe I learned about it from some comrades I follow on twitter. 2. What current of Marxist thought do you uphold? Describe as thoroughly as needed your path towards your current political perspective. I follow Marxism-Leninism, with aspects of Mao Zedong Thought, Ho Chi Minh Thought and more as they apply to the conditions of the US. 3. Have you read our principles? Comment your agreements or objections to our principles I have read your principles, and I would say that I politically align with your ideological base quite well, as I am a Marxist-Leninist. 4. What is your understanding of gender? Should Marxists support the LGBT community? I believe that gender is a flexible social concept which changes with time as the conditions of society change. As it regards to the LGBT+ community, I myself am in fact bisexual, and I do believe that we as communists have a responsibility to side with the community in their struggle against oppression. 5. What is your position on Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong? How would you describe their historical role? Share any comments or critiques you have regarding them. I align with Stalin and Mao on many issues, and I believe that their contributions to marxism should be acknowledged and studied if we hope to arrive at a correct understanding of marxist history. 6. What are your thoughts on China, Vietnam, Cuba, DPRK and Laos? Do you believe any of these countries is socialist? Why or why not? I believe that all of these 5 countries are socialist, and I believe that people who don't think they are socialist fail to uphold dialectical materialism to understand that the adoption of market forces in some of these countries are the result of changing circumstances in history.

Section 2:

1. In your own words, how would you describe dialectical materialism? The understanding of circumstances and context in the analysis of history and present events. Basically, acknowledging the circumstances to correctly asses actions taken. 2. What in your opinion is the most pressing matter for communists in your country? Where do I begin? We are suffering from a severely misinformed populace who are propagandized at every angle of society. To build our communist movement, we must tackle this issue immediately. 3. What do you believe is the main difference between Marxism and other anti-capitalist movements? The difference between Marxism and other anti-capitalist movements (take anarchism for example) is that Marxism has a scientific plan, with theory and practice to support it, which can correctly tackle capitalism and establish a better system. 4. What is a page that you would like to change, and what would you like to change on it? I've read your article on the CPUSA, and I think that the portrait of the whole of the party as revisionist isn't really fair. The party does make plenty of mistakes, including having Joe Sims as Co-Chairman, but the party hasn't simply become a radical wing of the democrats, they very much acknowledge that the democratic party is fundamentally bourgeoise and it is unsalvageable. The reason people think the CPUSA is aligned with them comes from a misunderstanding. You see, the party advocates for immediate change leading up to revolution, and acknowledges the fact that that change can come from the more left leaning individuals within that party, of which there are a few. I hope this sums it up. 5. What is your stance on Israel and Palestine? This is an easy one. Israel is and always has been a colonial state which systemically invades and colonizes the state of the Palestinian people. Free Palestine!!

ps: editing here to prove it’s me for the discord :)
