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he's just outdated

We should remove outdated elements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

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

Communism is too much ideology for it to work

is my criticism of Communism ever been the Death Count?

"apologia" implied it, in my mind

my bad if wrong
