i guess that isn't real Marxism either
that you think that a bunch of larpers congregating and chanting "death to capitalism" on the downtown square qualifies as "revolution", means you haven't seen a revolution
Wow
I thought you were a real commie
Where is your solidarity
he's a real commie
@AdorableStormtrooper Maoists were communists, but their praxis was very wrong
he's just outdated
We should remove outdated elements
when it comes to revolution though, the combat phase of it, they were excellent
😂
You're right.
Meat shields are an excellent strategy
Marx, Engels and Lenin were all very clear though; any new society will reproduce the flaws of the society from which they emerged. Old aspects will be retained, but will be reproduced in a higher form. There's no "abolition of obsolete elements"
Why did the soviets invade Afghanistan
Was it out of compassion to the poor afghani workers?
Or was it to plunder in an imperialist fashion
Xinu's entire argument is, look at what we say, don't look at what we do
Communism is a belief system
Maoists weren't Leninists; they were Maoists. Different ideologies, different texts, different stances.
Nobody who ever tried to bring about communism was pure to theory, hence real communism has never been tried
From *Fundamentals:*

never said he was a Leninist

Have you even read engeloki?
was influenced by Marx tho
have you ever taken into consideration that maybe in practice, perfectly implementing everything marx and Engles in every single situation and place might not be possible and people have actually tried and failed?
it's only after they failed that they innovated
Free Afghanistan
That though was *not* from Marx and Engels. That was from the Fundamentals, written in the middle of implementing socialism, 1960.
End the Soviet imperialist occupation
*implementing socialism*
yes
I'm not talkinh about your post
I'm talking about your general argument/apologia
I mean obviously not everything they said will come to pass, I hinted as much when I mentioned my disagreements with Engels
even the stuff you like, might not come to pass as you like it since it isn't feasible in practice, maybe mao and Stalin know better than you cuz they have tried that shit dawg
Marx is overrated
anyone defending any system has "apologia" and blood all over him. Capitalism - defined here as societal systems of private property - has killed upwards 100 million at least, and monarchism - defined here as systems where the crown is ultimately the owner of the whole realm - sits comfortably at around 145 million dead. So if me arguing for communism and its continued relevance to pressing contemporary problems is "apologia" then all of us dabble in it
