So do you think vanguardism works?
@RobotWizard It's a common misconception that Mao was all about nationalism, but that simply isn't the case. In the spirit of Marxism, he was a fervent internationalist and stressed the fact that he opposed "narrow nationalism and narrow patriotism". As for vanguardism, it definitely works. This is evidenced by the successes of the Russian and Chinese revolutions in which the vanguard party played an active role. Vanguardism just makes sense, from a theoretical as well as a practical perspective.
Without vanguardism, the revolutions would have never advanced like they did.
Eww Maoism
Too far left
Maoism is 🔥
Wayyyyy
"I accidentally starved millions of people to death" - Mao Zedong
Bullshit.
Great Leap Forward
Oh great, here we go again.. *sigh*
So you're a Mao apologist?
I don't have to apologize for Chairman Mao. Lol
So uhh
He did many, many wonderful things for the Chinese people and the international socialist movement. Did he make some mistakes? Sure. He was human after all. But he didn't starve millions of people.
On another note
How about that Holodomor?
I'm back sorry was afk for a second
IMO
Stalin and Mao prove that communism has not been successfully attempted...thus far, it has always resulted in the leaders of the revolution keeping power, while the peasants suffer. We have yet to see true communism achieved anywhere.
Lemme guess.. Big Bad Stalin systematically starved millions of Ukrainians? Yeah, he paid the clouds to rain and murdered tons of people for personal gain.
Oh no
That was a horrifying accident
Love that
My issue with vanguardism is its potential to dissolve in authoritarianism, and that the party does not have the ability to self-critique
ultimately the party just creates a new bourgeoisie made of red bureaucrats
Can i see a source
@RobotWizard That's a common complaint among Trots and Anarchists. "Authoritarianism" means nothing to me in this regard as the revolution is not a tea party, and discipline is essential in ensuring the survival of the revolution. As for self-critique, democratic centralism as theorized by Lenin necessitates the free flow of ideas within the party.
The principle of democratic centralism and autonomy for local Party organisations implies universal and full freedom to criticise, so long as this does not disturb the unity of a definite action; it rules out all criticism which disrupts or makes difficult the unity of anaction decided on by the Party.
limiting the area of acceptable discourse to only the confines of the party is the problem
I cannot read russian sir
You want to have American source on Russian statistics imbecile?
I'm not gonna just go off a picture and words I can't read
what is counted as disruptive to that unity is defined by the party
I want an English source on russian statistics
