1. Through Deprogram unofficial discord server.
2. I uphold Marxist Leninism current, with the main focuses being on indigenous and people of color, and the global south. Pan-african and Pan-latin america. Cultures and people should be important, as well as religion, and to keep the principles of moving towards socialism and communism being the biggest goal, while not forgetting all the people that are on the earth that share this passion of a better world then one full of fascists, racists, nationalists, and capitalist imperialists.
3. I am completely behind the political line of ProleWiki and the support towards the dictatorships of the proletariat. I strongly support the anti-imperialist stance that ProleWiki has as well, and I must add that being anti-imperialist is one of the first biggest things the world united, can do to move towards a more peaceful and socialist world. This will discourage and ultimately make the warring imperialists stand out more and more as less and less countries are left without solidarity, to be ripped apart by war profiteers. I am incredibly adamant about denying and going as far as possible to suppress the people who want to oppress others. There cannot be any room for these people to spew their hateful thoughts and for them to influence anyone. There must not only be this hard anti-oppression thought, but also the education of everyone possible to know WHY there cannot be any room for these oppressors in any society.
4. Gender has always been a social construct. Gender under capitalism is so often limited to male and female, and any other idea is reduced to mental illness or delusions. To me, the idea of fluidity in gender and the beauty of human self expression, is limited under capitalism for the primary reason of fitting into a nuclear family role, and submitting to a market idea of what each gender does and consumes. This makes it infinitely easier for capitalists to exploit, target, and market itself to people under its fist. It is crucial for any Marxists worth their weight need to support LGBT communities. Without this support of human nature and expression, we are allowing for swathes of people to fall under genocide, hate crimes, discrimination and unbelievable exploitation. I believe there cannot be any socialist or communist world without this support.
5.I want to preface by admitting to being a newer leftist, so my knowledge is not as extensive as others. But to my knowledge I think Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong both, like many other impactful socialist and communist leaders, took a lot of actions to move the country towards a better direction then it was previously, while having to work with problems, mistakes, no one is perfect and there needs to be nuanced critiques on everything. Overall these two pushed the ideas of socialism and communism, as well as influenced the world we all live in present day; more than they have ruined the world or "killed a gorbillion people and ate everything with their big spoons". Their historical roles were completely life changing, world builders and defenders of communism and socialism. Without Stalin, WW2 would have most likely been lost or lasted so long the devastation could be ten fold. Mao Zedong set China and its people up for a complete revamp of itself, building it's true strength against all the imperialist settler-colonial powers that had their boots on China for too long. China and the USSR both increased literacy rates massively, and have famously lifted people out of homelessness,poverty, and joblessness. I have a lot more to learn about every extra nuance they each took to get there. But ultimately I feel that what their end result was, proves how much more they cared about helping society reach this goal then, ruthlessly killing, enslaving,exploiting, and discriminating as many modern western capitalist countries prove themselves they do time and time again without any consideration for the homeless,hungry,poor,rural, or otherwise not capitalist leaning or capitalist classes.
6. I believe China, Vietnam, Cuba, DPRK, and Laos are socialist because they all have their country's efforts into the people, not profit. They care about the proletarian class's interests. People will argue because countries like China uses capitalist modes of production, they are capitalist, or state capitalist, but in reality they will use everything they learn and their state power to guide the economy for workers, workers wages, and quality of life. Even private industries in these countries will lean towards the people's interests because of the states economic policies.
Secondary Verification Questions 2. I would like to cover the global south and mainly Latin American socialism and such. I want to keep people as fully informed and updated on these subjects as well as bury myself in these studies. 3. Land back is necessary as well as previous statements as the beginning of reparations for all the damage done to people affected. This is a mean of healing the culture, people, and their own means of production back into their hands and to begin closing the gap between everyone who benefited from the stealing of land and genocides of so many people. 4. I am currently reading a book called Socialist Feminism by frieda afary. My perspectives on feminism as again the same as previous statements, without the freedom of women there cannot be freedom. Gender expression and sexuality is in part with this, there is no room for TERFs. 6. The biggest thing I see in the United States, the country I live in, is that there is not enough organization, class consciousness, and unity in any significant ways. There is a lot of separatism and division, reformist, and a lot of infighting. 8. My analysis is that Israel is a continuation imperialism and colonialism. Under the guise of freedom and fight for Jewish people. Even Jewish people recognize the Zionism used to uphold Israel's existence, and the continuous war profiteering off the misery of Palestinian people. There needs to be the land back of Palestinians and the issues need to be recognized and removed to allow for the true freedom of the people currently suffering in the current state of Israel and Palestine.
