1. Heard about it from people on discord. 2. I am a Marxist-Leninist. I was a socdem and a big Corbyn supported up until is expulsion (I'm British sorry) then I somehow came to the conclusion, mainly through looking at things internationally (Neocolonialism etc.). I was a baby leftist for a few months (demsoc) and then after reading marx, engles and lenin but mainly state and rev and utopian and scientific I started calling myself an ML. I believe a vanguard is essential for the overthrowing of capitalism and that democratic-centralism is a fair and efficient decision making process. 3. Yes I support the ML AES listed and the ant-imperialists states I'll be it very critically especially Iran and Russia and ofc I agree with everything under Anti-oppression. The goals seem like a given for a Marxist-leninist website. 4. Gender is a social construct and Marxists should support the LGBT community. It is very sad in my own country (the UK) many communist parties are quite transphobic.
A strange side tangent is that I think might be relevant is that I am a member of the rather problematic CPB. BRS is reformist, revisionist and emphasizes non-violence and "working within the labor movement.". I don't see a Marxist revolution happening in the UK or most imperial-core countries any time soon so🤷 and I still agree with other parts of the manifesto about progressive federalism, international solidarity and their "left wing program". As it stands CPB has a contradictory line on transgender people and at worst a transphobic one. This has been building over the past few years and has been pushed for by the "woman's commission" which is TERF central. Very much a vulgar materialist justification for bigotry. It is definitely going to be a hot topic at the upcoming congress and my branch to my knowledge is unanimously pro trans. The biggest problem is that it stifles our recruiting. trying to recruit from GenZ with a openly hostile trans line is fucking difficult. But eh you can do good work with an imperfect party and we do good food poverty work at a branch level.
5. Stalin was an important figure in the Bolsheviks pre and post revolution. Very much important leading the Soviet Union during the great period of collectivization and industrialization which lifted the USSR to superpower status by the late 1930s pulling millions out of poverty also very well groomed. Mao's theory is some of my favorite especially oppose book worship (becoming increasing relevant every day) and combat liberalism. China had a life expectancy of like 30 when he was the supreme leader of the People's Republic of China and by the end it was in the 60s. Ontop of his work as a leader he played a large role in anti-Japanese imperialism. 6. I support all of these countries. Socialism with Chinese Characteristics is very based and I believe it will build a prosperous socialist society. I don't know a lot about current-day Vietnam and Laos. AS far as I'm aware all of these countries are lead by Marxist-Leninist parties that are working towards building a socialist state despite attempted intervention, sanctions etc. -PART 2- 1. A combination of the principles of dialectics, which is the study of change and contradiction, with a materialist understanding of the world. Materialism is the philosophical outlook that holds that matter is the fundamental substance of nature, and that all things, including mental states and consciousness, are a consequence of material interactions. 2. GDR, Yugoslavia stuff specifically on Tito's life and their economic polices. 3. A Josip Broz tito page. 10. Israel shouldn't exist. A settler-colonial state that is occupying Palestine. The modern State of Israel has its roots in the Zionist movement which is a racial supremacist ideology. Palestine should be a free secular Marxist-Leninist DOTP big ups the PFLP. 9. Many socialist and anti-capitalist movements aren't marxist and don't follow a dialectical materialist analysis eg the Christian socialist wing of the labor party. 8. At the minute the main goals of my branch of the CPB is food poverty campagain (food inflation is like 20% in the UK more working poor are using foodbanks than ever) and anti-facism.
