Comrade corbyn yes
Lmao
Obama
Socialist
Lol
Exactly
I blame the cold war
Aren't there a decent amount of communists in labor though?
Yea no
But Apparently so
Because the Labour Party was never and will never be socialist
Whatttt
It’s more just liberals trying to be edgy by quoting the Communist Manifesto a couple times
And British communist parties such as CPGB and CPGB-ML are a fucking joke
I still think there is a bit of hope though
If not a good start
I like Maoist theory because it develops on Marxism-Leninism: the idea is that the elite have since offered exceptional living conditions to the third world that used to be in their backyard and by doing so have pushed their dirty business into other (third world) countries where profit can be made at the expense of labour costs, just like London’s factories in the 1800s but where we cannot see them and benefit from their output, thereby essentially becoming puppets to the bourgeoisie. Parties like CPGB and its ML alternative create problems within the first world in order to justify their means for existence in the first world, where there are no problems
I think the best way therefore to understand the proletariat would be to see it as “the proletarians *(are those who)* have nothing to lose but their chains”
You mean the Weekly Worker? Or the Morning Star>
Ikr
Carl would be
Ed nah

>have to pay subscription fee to join and to vote or stand for office in a ‘communist party’
Even for emails
Like wha
"comrade we must join together in defeating the bourgeoisie and abolishing capitalism and currency. but first we'll need a small subscription fee
lol it’s almost like one of those ancap memes
So membership fees are bourgeois?
No
I wouldn’t mind if they were a legitimate party
But they are a joke
So don't pay 'em. Don't join the CPGB-ML. I believe their party is paid for by Harpal Brar's pashmina business.
Exactly
Woop
