First Questions
1. Lemmygrad. Same username.
2. Marxism-Leninism with a primary focus on the Juche idea and the works of Kim Il-Sung. I uphold all AES states as examples of socialism in the material.
3. Agreed in entirety.
4. Gender is a social construct but not entirely a meaningless one either. We should seek to end misogyny and patriarchy and support our LGBT comrades by any means necessary.
5. Stalin was a great leader, as was Mao, both only for the most part. Mao was incorrect more often than Stalin, venturing into ultraleftist territory at times, but all of the blame cannot be laid at these two great men's feet either. Marxism however is a science and Mao's China and Stalin's USSR were both experiments with failures and successes.
6. Undeniably AES and all of their leftward turns in recent years have filled me with hope.
Secondary Questions
7. Marxism is a science and not a utopian ideal. Anarchism and other forms of utopian socialism will never succeed because they refuse to learn from past mistakes and adapt to new sociopolitical standards.
8. Israel is a settler state, period. It's an infant one unlike the U.S. so we are witnessing the brutality of settler-colonialism in real time as it paves homes and bombs schools to make way for Zionazi settlers. Palestine must be free, from the river to the sea, and it doesn't fucking matter who rules be it Hamas or the PFLP - it's a secondary contradiction in the face of an existential threat like settler Zionism.
3. Full sovereignty and independence now for indigenous and colonized nations, including a potential black republic in Amerika. Regarding what happens to the settlers in those nations, it's up to their rightful leaders to decide.
6. Fighting fascism and education. Destroying the imperial infobubble that keeps people confused and scared. Destroy that fear and replace it with revolutionary anger.
1. Dialectical materialism is a lens through which to view history, the present, and the future that facilitates an understanding of changes in political economy through the analysis of the material interests of opposing groups, and more. Marxist-Leninists use it to determine the *why* in such a way as to be rooted in reality and not idealism.
The Magna Carta was not signed by bleeding heart nobles yearning for a more democratic landscape, they yearned for greater profit. Official Amerikan independence from Britain was a counter-revolution orchestrated by the propertied class. These were not great events orchestrated by people with grand ideas but the obvious outcomes of folks enamored by the idea of infinite growth being allowed any vicinity to real power. We can use diamat to identify this as it happens.
