| FIRST VERIFICATION QUESTIONS (please answer all 6 of them):
| | {{Gulag}} |
| | |
| 1. Where did you find ProleWiki?
| |
| | |
| I found ProleWiki on either Twitter or Discord and thought it was a great idea
| |
| | |
| 2. What current of Marxist thought do you uphold? Describe as thoroughly as needed your path towards your current political perspective.
| |
| | |
| I am a Marxist-Leninist. I believe in the dictatorship of the proletariat. I believe in the need for a transitional phase of socialism to get us to communist political and economic organization.
| |
| | |
| 3. Have you read our principles? Comment your agreements or objections to our principles
| |
| | |
| I agree to your principles. They look like there has been a lot of thought behind them.
| |
| | |
| 4. What is your understanding of gender? Should Marxists support the LGBT community?
| |
| | |
| Gender is a social construct, which means the social understand of what gender is can (and should) be changed. Marxists should support the LGBT community because LGBT people are working class people, and revolution cannot happen without the unity of all social classes of people in the Communist movement
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| My position on Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong is that they are great leaders who led their people through some of the darkest moments in history. Each of the leaders has of course made mistakes through the course of their political careers, but they pale in comparison to the benefits and material progress that the populations of the USSR and China have achieved from the socialist ideas and material organization of both Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong.
| |
| | |
| 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?
| |
| | |
| They are all socialist countries because their economy and politics are fundamentally based on Marxism and Leninism
| |
| | |
| SECONDARY VERIFICATION QUESTIONS (answer only 5 of them):
| |
| | |
| 1. In your own words, how would you describe dialectical materialism?
| |
| | |
| Posits that everything in the world as we know it is in constant change brought about by knowable & contradictory processes, ideas, values, and so on. Since things are "knowable" we are able to exploit those contradictions or completely upend them.
| |
| | |
| 2. What subjects or topics you would like to contribute to ProleWiki?
| |
| | |
| History about US based proletarian struggle
| |
| | |
| 3. What are your thoughts on national liberation or the concept of land back (either one)?
| |
| | |
| From what I gather, "land back" is synonymous with as well as a component of the overall "national liberation" struggle due to it being specifically about Native American land. I agree wholeheartedly with the question of national liberation and whether there are whole other nations within nations, specifically the US
| |
| | |
| 5. Do you think abolishing the family should be a goal of the communist movement? If so, how would it be abolished?
| |
| | |
| Yes abolishing "the family" is a goal, but in reality "the family" means all of the bourgeois and petty bourgeois notions of what a family is and who is a part of it. So in reality it is abolition of the dominance of nuclear family by the ability to have whatever type of family organization you want to have along with the aspect of collective parenting and care for one another
| |
| | |
| 6. What in your opinion is the most pressing matter for communists in your country?
| |
| | |
| In the US it is absolutely getting organized on the principle of building a mass party, and not just a group of people who sit around to read books and be the most learned person in the room
| |
| | |
| 7. What do you believe is the main difference between Marxism and other anti-capitalist movements?
| |
| | |
| A lot of other anti-capitalist movements are organized based on individual issues of capitalism instead of putting attention towards the full economic political machine of capitalism itself and changing that through revolution. Marxist dialectical materialist analysis sees the economic mode as a primary source of all contradictions within society.
