1. Got sent it by a Reddit user 2. I agree with Marxism-Leninism, but don't know enough theory yet to learn towards particular sub-currents. 3. Yes, I have, I listed a couple objections on Matrix already 4. I don't know about China's internal structure, but from what I've read it is a dictatorship of the proletariat, so it is socialist. I also think worker rights there aren't that good and it has potential for both advancing to a higher stage of socialism or regressing to capitalism. The Western antagonism fuels Chinese nationalism, which ironically should help anti-capitalist sentiment. 5. His role was getting the USSR through an incredibly hostile period by rapidly industrializing it and repressing people when necessary. Of course there were innocent people killed, but that's pretty much inavoidable in such a situation, and since he was a leader, not a dictator, it isn't his personal responsibility but a collective responsibility. He also helped formulating Marxism-Leninism. 6. Yes, they should, I'm a trans girl as well. Personally I think gender should be abolished and people should do whatever they wanna do, but I recognize that labels like that help people in self-discovery. I dislike the fact Russian is heavily gendered (conjugation/declension can change based on gender), for me instead of a euphoria source it serves as a dysphoric reminder that I don't look nor sound the way I want to. At the same time, the bourgeois LGBT movement is a culture war that many put at the forefront instead of the class war. Since fascism will exist for as long as capitalism exists, LGBT liberation can only be achieved through communism - and reactionary views among Marxists must be fought.
