Before anything else, some questions i already answered to join the discord, so im copying pasting them
1-Cant remember, probably someone on reddit or discord mentioned it
2-I am a marxist-leninist and dont follow an more specific line of thought, but i like the contributions that kim il sung and kim jong il have made, although i dont agree that juche is a separate ideology from marxism-leninism. I come from a reactionary family, but who always voted in the progressive socdems in the last 20 years, so when i started getting interested in politics five years ago, i became a socdem (and i managed to not became a reactionary because of this), but three years ago my dad (only progressist in the entire family, besides me) was listening to a podcast and the host called two communists to speak about communism. From this, i started listening to the podcast that the communists host, and from there i was already a commie, but i started to really study hard and read theory last year. So yeah, besides the apolitical period durind childhood, my path to ML was very small.
3-Yes. I dont have any objection, and im very happy that reactionary "leftists" are not accepted
4-Im normally pro-china in international politics, because normally china side with the third world against the imperialism. Yes, i believe China is a socialist country. My reason to believe this is that China, despite the right wing turn that the party had during the past decades, still has the political power concentrated on the masses, and the burgeoise is still submited to the party (and by consequence, to the people) will.
5-Stalin was definitively one of the most capable leaders in the past century, and despite the revisionists and reactionaries attempts to make him look like a monster, his legacy should be remembered by every communist not as a rude psicopath who did everything to maintain power, but as the man that dedicated his life to start and maintain the revolution.
6-Not an expert in this topic, but gender to me is a social construct, and that is the maximum i can say with my knowledge. Marxists should support the LGBT community at all costs, and anyone who says the opposite is as reactionary as racists and misogynists, and should be treated as such.
