| 1. I found it through Hexbear.
| | Marxist-Leninist (MZT) ☭ |
| 2. Marxism-Leninism MZT; no cool story, just read a lot (important works: The State and Revolution, Imperialism, Das Kapital, Revolutionary Suicide, Principles of Communism, etc.); not part of a party at the moment unfortunately

| 3. I agree!

| 4. Gender is an oppressive concept which upholds oppressive sexual associations, and is a unique manifestation of the individual in regards to adherence to or relation to the “man” and “woman” categories and their cultural associations. Gender will exist for some time both as a general manifestation of the traditional binary and as a divergence from this binary with the latter’s primary characteristics being in relation to the binary, but the final goal should be gender abolition. The LGBT community is primarily defined by their oppression by the capitalist family and alienation from society due to cultural stigmas and even influenced by traditional norms despite this. Marxists should support the liberation of the LGBT community from social and cultural oppression as well as understand that these groups are integrated into general society and will benefit from overall liberation as well (and likewise be harmed by overall harm, with the Western view exposing its exclusionary aspects in its wars and imperialist ventures).

| 5. 70-30 for both would be the general slogan, with Mao committing numerous errors during the GPCR and even operational errors during the Great Leap Forward of which Deng was also guilty. I take the view of the modern PRC that Mao was a great leader who made several theoretical innovations and led the masses in overthrowing the political supremacy of the exploiting classes (and the private ownership of land as a primary contradiction) and headed the establishment of the PRC, while at the same time recognizing the errors during the GPCR of overriding democratic centralism, attempting to engage in the feudal practice of appointing an heir, taking an incorrect position towards culture and ideology, and for some time allowing the Gang of Four to gain power, with of course one of the members being his wife. Stalin made mistakes as well, in war time of course and in allowing the NKVD purges to occur, as well as incorrectly assessing the economic state of the USSR. Still he was not a dictator, nor was his leadership all mistakes, with numerous successes including the defeat of the fascists during WWII.

| 6. China is a nation successfully developing their economy in Primary Stage Socialism (by accepting investment and foreign factories in SEZ) under the leadership of the people, with the goal of a Developed Socialist Economy being steadily approached. The Belt and Road initiative shows the PRC’s goal of arousing development all across the board and they have my support. Vietnam is a nation with the clear leadership of the people under a “socialist-oriented” economy with the goal of furthering their development by accepting investment on their own terms. Cuba is an island nation that, despite being hounded by U.S. sanctions, has managed to improve the lives of the populace and establish a socialist economy under the rule of the Cuban people. The DPRK is a state that comprises only half of the Korean Peninsula, the other occupied by imperialist U.S. that constantly provokes war drills and attempts to strangle the socialist nation with sanctions. Having also developed SEZ on a smaller scale, the DPRK is headed by the people under the leadership of the SPA,SAC, and WPK in establishing a prosperous nation and protecting their interests. I don’t know much about Laos unfortunately.

| | “The often-reported impoliteness of the new leaders is understandable. What is less noticeable is the extreme courtesy these same leaders show toward their brothers and comrades. Their impolite behavior is first and foremost directed against the others, against the former colonialists who come to observe and investigate. The excolonized too often get the impression that the findings of these investigations are a foregone conclusion. The journalist is on assignment to justify them. The photos that illustrate the article provide proof that he knows what he is talking about and was actually there. The investigation sets out to prove that ‘everything went wrong as soon as we left.’ The journalists often complain they are badly treated, are forced to work under poor conditions, and come up against a wall of indifference or hostility. All this is quite normal. The nationalist leaders know that international opinion is forged solely by the Western press. When a Western journalist interviews us, however, it is seldom done to render us service. In the war in Algeria, for example, the most liberal-minded French reporters make constant use of ambiguous epithets to portray our struggle. When we reproach them for it, they reply in all sincerity [that] they are being objective. For the colonized subject, objectivity is always directed against him”— Frantz Fanon, ''The Wretched of the Earth'', pp. 36-7 |

| 1. Dialectical Materialism is the method of analysis that integrates Hegelian dialectics with Marxist materialism, with the general idea being that everything is in motion and constantly changing (with slow quantitative changes leading up to a quick qualitative change), and that material conditions and shifts influence consciousness (not the other way around!). Change is the process of the conflict between contradictions, the emergent one growing and the regressive one decaying.

| 2. I wrote a refutation of Thomas Sowell’s Marxism: Philosophy and Economics if anyone wants that lmao. Otherwise I see some stuff I could add to the DPRK page (and I could write a page for the DFRF which doesn’t have one rn). The page for the U.S. War in Afghanistan is looking a little sparse, I could definitely add some stuff to that. Same for the Soviet Intervention in Afghanistan. I could add to the George Orwell page too.

| 3. Land back is necessary for the U.S. which was built entirely by brutal conquest of indigenous society.
| |
| 7. Unlike other anti-capitalist movements, Marxism enhances the repudiation of capitalism with a comprehensive mode of analysis and a genuine alternative in line with the development of history.
| |
| 8. Israel is primarily a European settler-colonial project (with non-European Jews facing discrimination in Israel), marked in its establishment by violent colonial rhetoric which is now forgotten under paper-thin peaceful slogans. The IDF subjects the Palestinian people to obscene terror financed by the U.S. and U.K. under the guise of “defending” the nation (this surely justifies shooting a crowd of children, killing a journalist and then attacking her funeral, running over teenagers with tanks, etc.).
