Comrade:Rangerjs1: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 00:41, 21 December 2023

Hello!

My name is Rangerjs1 and from the United States and currently reside there.

I am a Marxist-Leninist and believe we must put all effort towards the promotion and propagation of Scientific socialism and that Communism is the only path forwards for us as a species.

I speak English as my primary and first language and speak/am continuing to learn Spanish as my second language.

Vegan, atheist, antitheist

I oppose the Communist Party of the United States of America and consider them not just reactionary but to be borderline Patriotic socialists and 100% Zionist.

I joined Prolewiki on June 26, 2023 and became a trusted editor on July 31, 2023.

Quotes

“We must choose between champagne for a few or drinking water for all.”

— Thomas Sankara

“Capitalism is the arsonist of our forests.”

— Thomas Sankara

“We must recognize today that it is normal for the wealthiest to be the greatest thieves. When a poor man steals it is merely a theft, a petty crime -- it is solely about survival and necessity. The rich are the ones who steal from the treasury, customs duties, and who exploit the people.”

— Thomas Sankara

“The revolution and women’s liberation go together. We do not talk of women’s emancipation as an act of charity or out of a surge of human compassion. It is a basic necessity for the revolution to triumph.”

— Thomas Sankara

“When the people stand up, imperialism trembles.”

— Thomas Sankara

“My God is none other than the people. Only the popular masses are omniscient and omnipotent and almighty on earth. Therefore my lifetime motto is: ‘The people are my God.’”

— Kim Il-Sung, Reminiscences: With the Century

“Socialism is a human ideal, an inevitable course of historical development, and therefore it is perfectly clear that socialism will rise again in the end.”

— Kim Il-Sung, Reminiscences: With the Century

“The people are the masters of the revolution in each country. It is like putting a cart before the horse that foreigners carry out the revolution for them. The revolution can neither be exported nor imported.”

— Kim Il-Sung

“All exploiting classes, after all, constitute a reaction against history; they are the target of revolution.”

— Kim Jong-il, On the Juche Idea

“Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.“

— Karl Marx, A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right

“One good schoolmaster is of more use than a hundred priests.“

— Thomas Paine

“Where knowledge is a duty, ignorance is a crime.”

— Thomas Paine, Public Good

“We live to improve, or we live in vain“

— Thomas Paine

“Have these gentlemen ever seen a revolution? A revolution is certainly the most authoritarian thing there is; it is the act whereby one part of the population imposes its will upon the other part by means of rifles, bayonets and cannon — authoritarian means, if such there be at all; and if the victorious party does not want to have fought in vain, it must maintain this rule by means of the terror which its arms inspire in the reactionists.“

— Frederick Engels, On Authority

“I can hardly believe that it took a revolution to teach the world that extreme disparities in wealth lie at the root of many ills and crimes, but we are not the less convinced that the realization of an equality of fortunes is a visionary’s dream.”

— Maximilien Robespierre

“I leave to the oppressors of humanity a terrible testament, which I proclaim with the independence befitting one whose career is so nearly ended; it is the awful truth: ‘Thou shalt die!’”

— Maximilien Robespierre

“The United States appear to be destined by Providence to plague America with misery in the name of liberty.“

— Simón Bolívar

-FIRST VERIFICATION QUESTIONS (please answer all 6 of them):
+Hello!
-. Where did you find ProleWiki?
-I found it through someone mentioning it in a Discord server I am part of.
+My name is Rangerjs1 and from the [[United States]] and currently reside there.
-. What current of Marxist thought do you uphold? Describe as thoroughly as needed your path towards your current political perspective.
-I would describe myself as a Marxist-Leninist. I started out reading Marx’s writings and slowly started reading the writings of both  Marxist-Leninists and of anarchists and found myself disagreeing with anarchists and agreeing with nearly everything I read that Lenin and Mao wrote. I also personally feel that elements of Juche can be very useful to incorporate depend upon the material conditions present there.
+I am a [[Marxist-Leninist]] and believe we must put all effort towards the promotion and propagation of [[Scientific socialism]] and that [[Communism]] is the only path forwards for us as a species.
-. Have you read our principles? Comment your agreements or objections to our principles.
-I have read and agree with the principals.
+I speak English as my primary and first language and speak/am continuing to learn Spanish as my second language.
-. What is your understanding of gender? Should Marxists support the LGBT community?
-Gender is related to one’s self-expression and to the way one relates to the world around them. I fully feel that it is imperative that Marxists support LGBT people as their oppression is directly tied to class oppression.
+Vegan, atheist, antitheist
-. What is your position on Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong? How would you describe their historical role? Share any comments or critiques you have regarding them.
-I feel that they have had an overwhelmingly positive influence on world history. I feel that Stalin has had a greater influence in a positive manner than Mao though I also disagree with Stalin on a few things. I disagree with his criminialization of homosexuality (though I put it into the time period in which he lived) and feel that he did not properly handle the things that need to be done prior to the transition to his successor after his death. I personally agree with and support Stalin and Mao on most other things.
+I oppose the [[Communist Party of the United States of America]] and consider them not just reactionary but to be borderline [[Patriotic socialists]] and 100% [[Zionist]].
-. What are your thoughts on China, Vietnam, Cuba, DPRK and Laos? Do you believe any of these countries is socialist? Why or why not?
-I believe that all of them are currently socialist though do not think any country has handled things perfectly. I support them in their struggle against capitalist power and fully understand and support the major changes they have brought for the working class in their perspective countries.

-I would like to work on writing content about Cuba and expanding coverage of information on Latin-American socialism in general. I would also like to further add to the contend on LGBT rights in AES countries.
-. What are your thoughts on national liberation or the concept of land back (either one)?
-I believe national liberation is necessary before true liberation can be occurred because outside forces will never act in favor of the workers in that nation. This is why communists ought to support national liberation movements such as that in occupied-Palestine.
-. Have you read anything on Marxist feminism? What are your perspectives on it?
-. Do you think abolishing the family should be a goal of the communist movement? If so, how would it be abolished?
-. What in your opinion is the most pressing matter for communists in your country?
-I live in the United States of America and believe the two most pressing issues are the military’s invasion of other nations leading to a stronger capitalist force in the world but strongly and resolutely be opposed and we as communists must always fight against the expansion of the military industrial complex. The other most pressing issue is low union membership harming pro-workers movements. I think that all communist must work to show the benefits of unions.
-. What do you believe is the main difference between Marxism and other anti-capitalist movements?
-Marxism is based on actual analysis and experimentation in the world and is scientific whilst other anti-capitalist movements are utopian and act as a wishlist rather than a plan.
-. What is your analysis of the situation between Israel and Palestine?
-I believe Israel is lead by fascistic colonialists who have stolen land from Palestine. I support a one state solution with Israel being required to return 100% of the land to Palestine. I boycott all goods produced by Israeli companies and believe that Zionism is inherently racist.
