1. I found Prolewiki through casual usage and citation by a user in Tankie Bunker
2. I am a Marxist-Leninist in the most broad sense of the matter. I believe in a specific application to Marxism-Leninism and it's nuances to Mexico, my homeland, utilizing the work of Latin American and Indigenous Marxist thinkers such as Mariategui.
3. I have no issues or real comments on the Principles on the server. I believe it's a better idea to have principles than strict rules in order to guide in their spirit than letter.
4.Gender is a fluid and social concept completely amicable and amendable to whichever parameters an individual desires. It sits on a broad range and spectrum from what is traditionally defined as masculine or feminine, or intersex. I believe Marxist Leninists must uphold all social protections and ergo LGBTQ+ rights.
5. Joseph Stalin was and is still an important and foundational contributor to mainstream Marxist Leninist thought. Outside of his outstanding leadership of the Soviet Union his ideological streams are fundamental to concurrent thinking. Mao Zedong was more Chinese centric in his application of Marxist Leninism which while not an issue in the slightest, poses a larger issue when discussing his thoughts and applications within other contexts both material and culturally. His works have provided a great and thoughtful provocation to Soviet ML streams.
6.The DPRK, Laos, China, Cuba and Vietnam are all examples of Actually Existing Socialism. Their application of Marxist principles is foundational to the continuing development of the science. They lead in many different fields and show many strides of socialist thought. Although there is valid criticism to levy, it's vital to continue supporting them in the public spheres.
1. Dialectical Materialism is the primary basis in which Communist thought is founded on. It's the logic of two antithetical social forces fighting against each other within the annals of history. In which case the ruling and working classes for the majority of Human Society. From Aristocratic Control to Bourgeoisie Tyranny.
2. I would personally really enjoy adding an indigenous and Latin American view to ProleWiki. I am part of Partido Trabajdor a general left, mass line movement in Mexico. While our party has a range of Social democrats to hardened communists. It's a useful movement as it actively participates in government. I believe that fundamentally a diversity of all perspectives on ML thought are useful to its develop.
3. I am an indigenous Mexican pertaining to predominantly the Mixtec peoples, I have ancestral farmland in Mexico. I don't entirely buy the idea of land back but moreso a nuanced solution such as providing the opportunity for indigenous peoples to make up for the systemic and historical discrimination faced both historically and concurrently through education and perhaps land grants/backs on a case by case basis. The unfortunately realities of capitalism and industrial society have unfortunately rendered a lot of historically indigenous land to be rendered unfeasibly returnable, or public land.
5. Abolishing the family in terms of an entirely abstract social concept is somewhat preposterous. They're foundational to human structure and society and were there at the very emergence of organized society in humans. Its influence can obviously be mitigated however never detracted entirely. I think as a social concept especially in the West, when seen as a series of obligations and necessities asked of typical Western Culture. As a foundational human structure however it won't be going away any time soon, outside of lessening individuals dependence on them.
8. While Palestine's reactionary tendencies are definitely a stark criticism levied by the West. The American Backed, Apartheid State of Israel is much worse of an offender that anybody could reasonably see the issue and problem of Israel's existence in their current formation. While fundamentally I stand in a two state solution prospective I feel that there must be something done to reparate the offenses and destruction caused by Israel
