Without vanguardism, the revolutions would have never advanced like they did.

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?

What about it?

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

@chill with that shit

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

Yes
