1. I first heard of ProleWiki on Lemmygrad 2. I'm a Marxist-Leninist, I grew up in USSR and having lived through the collapse and introduction of capitalism. Having seen both systems in action, there is no doubt in my mind that communism is the more correct system. 3. I agree with the core tenets of ProleWiki. I believe that international solidarity of socialists is essential, and I believe that AES states deserve support. 4. Marxists should support LGBT community on principle. Everyone has the right to body autonomy and the right to self determination. 5. Stalin and Mao are examples of successful revolutionary leaders. In my view, their contributions were largely positive, and they achieved liberation of countless million of people. That said, they are products of their time and material conditions, and have made mistakes as all humans do. Both have produced a wealth of ideas that must be studied by any Marxist. 6. I believe that China, Vietnam, Cuba, and DPRK are all socialist countries. They are all led by Communist parties, but have not yet achieved communism. Therefore, they are in a socialist stage where capitalist relations remain, but the dictatorship of the proletariat has been achieved. 7. Settler colonialism is a phenomenon where the indigenous population is replaced by settlers who colonize the land. There are numerous states that fit this description today, including Canada, the US, and Israel as prime examples. The principled solution to settle colonialism is to restore the rights of indigenous people to their land. I think Chinese model of autonomous regions would be a good model for my country. 8. I think that what we're witnessing in Palestine is a genocide, and that Israel is an occupying force responsible for this atrocity. The events of October 7 should be viewed in the same light as the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

1. Dialectical Materialism is a philosophical framework with roots in the works of Hegel and Marx. It emphasizes the interplay between ideas, society, and physical matter to advance the comprehension of human development through a scientific lens. It posits that all phenomena within history and societal contexts are determined by contradictions and conflicts arising from opposing forces. These contradictions are the engine of change that drives historical transformations and social revolutions. 4. I think that the nuclear family should be abolished and replaced by community focused relations between people. Instead of seeing each other as atomic units that compete with each other, people must see one another as members of a larger community who all work collectively towards common benefit. 5. The most pressing issue for the communists in my country is to create a principled vanguard and craft a compelling message that appeals to people who are falling out of the liberal mainstream. Current communist parties in my country have failed to achieve these goals. 6. The key difference between Marxism and other anti-capitalist movements is that Marxism is rooted in Dialectical Materialism which provides a clear cognitive framework for understanding how material conditions drive the evolution of society. Marxism is also the only anti-capitalist method of education and organization that has been applied successfully in the real world to achieve construction of socialist states that are able to defend themselves and thrive within the greater capitalist world. 7. Imperialism is when more powerful countries subjugate weaker countries in order to plunder their labor and resources. Institutions like the IMF, that are built by imperialist nations act as tools of control and subjugation. In contrast, BRI shows how socialist cooperation can provide an alternative to exploitative relations imposed by imperialist.
