Yeah

Would the abbreviation for Anarcho-pacifists be AnPacs?

Thank you

I'm warm to socialism, but not so much L*nin's additions. Sell me on ML.

I'm not a ML. I'm an Anarchist.

aight

worth a shot, fellow A

You might try @Borzo

So far, the working class Revolutions have only been achievable by leninist praxis

And once the government has been overthrown, what do you do then? How do you secure power? Will the country just descend into chaos?

Unless you have a vanguard

@Borzo I agree with your point.

That's the one ingriedient that today's radical politicians lack today.

It seems that the concept of vanguardism has been neglected in favor of populism.

That was the most plain and clear explanation I've seen yet. Thanks for taking the time.

If you're more interested, I'd recommend State and Revolution, as well as What is to be done?

I have the former on my reading list

Good to hear

On my personal opinion, contemporary politics can be called "Politics of Personality"

We all know an organized cadre of supporters is better for the long run than your popularity.

Organisation of unity is the most important, as Lenin said it best

That's why my favorite model of organizing political movements is the Marxist-Leninist vanguard.

Combining Marxist economics and Leninist praxis is pretty based

Even the Nazi Party and the Italian fascists copied the vanguard concept.

And so did the Kuomintang under Chiang Kai-shek

And the Singaporean People's Action Party

Lenin's understanding and contribution to scientific socialism, dialectical materialism, is also notable

Today, what do we have?

Populists like to use the problem-reaction-solution concept, as in bring up contemporary problem, say that you have the key to the solution, and exploit your prior reputation to amplify ypur bid.

We have a lot of revolutionary potential in many, in particular, third world countries, but nothing to lead this potential into revolution, to guide the revolution, to actually do something

Yeah. Populism does not help.

Leninism is definitely in dire needs of visiting those countries

The vanguard concept is the reason why philosophies like Marxism and Fascism were very successful in the 20th century.

To form a vanguard to guide this revolutionary potential into success

Yeah.
