As someone that bisexual do you think that chairman mao would be approve lgbtq+ people this country what do you think you put them in harsh prison camp or Gulag or concentration camps I know that Mao was homophobic but that was decades ago wanna know you guys opinion now?

>>2284703
This is an interesting one because there's no evidence that Mao disapproved, and there weren't any criminal penalties for it in China until after Mao died.

no

>>2284800
There were no laws against it but it was prosecuted under statutes against "hooliganism" and other vague laws like that.

Bisexuality is counterrevolutionary.

Yes, Mao would support it if he were alive today. That's because he listened to the progressive portion of the working class, who today are overwhelmingly pro-lgbt.

By the way Maoists have all been pro-lgbt since the 90s.

voooooting doen't matter:
-parties win through media consensus
-media are controlled by billionaires
-parties need to be bankrolled by capitalists for ad space etc

also
-fishing for votes will transform revolutionary parties into demsoc reformists

no thanks

>>2240912
>why aren't you just voting for communist parties every chance you get?
Because the actual communists party's are a meme that will never gain parliamentary representation anymore. Voting for the former communist, now democratic-socialist, party, or even the social-democrats at least counts your vote. Reformism isn't perfect but it's something.

Far-right defeated after 10-hour stand-off in Glasgow
While many of those standing with the far right labelled themselves “concerned grandmothers” drafted in from across Scotland, among their number were a handful of fascist agitators, including a known commander in the loyalist terrorist organisation the UDA and a known former National Front member. Anti-racist groups held the line until 10.30pm, by which time far-right numbers had dwindled to about half a dozen, who soon left “tired and demoralised.”

Ireland seeks to ban trade with Israeli firms in occupied Palestinian territories
The Irish government will present plans on Tuesday to ban trade with Israeli businesses based in the occupied Palestinian territories, becoming the first European country to take such a step. In a post on X on Saturday, Ireland's deputy prime minister Simon Harris, who is also the defence and foreign minister, said he hopes that the Committee on Foreign Affairs will begin reviewing the bill next month.

German SPD lawmakers urge halt to arms exports to Israel over Gaza war
SPD parliamentarian Isabel Cademartori warned that Germany could become legally complicit in war crimes through its weapons deliveries. "This could lead to Germany itself being held accountable by international courts," she told Stern. She called on the government to halt exports, specifically of tank ammunition and spare parts.

>There are institutions here where you can go and force the ousting of such a party leadership, because in Venezuela all political parties are a legal entity subject to governmental institutions.
Anon they could have just kicked him out in the next party election like in any other Communist party ML or Trot. Instead a small group of people who said they were members of the party threw out democratic centralism and went to the government rather than internal party channels. And I don't care about Marquez no one in the PCV or Popular Revolutionary Alternative said the guy was a communist so i don't understand the point in bringing him up.

>>2284510
Not willing to die on any hill here. I'm not gunna defend every tactical choice the PCV makes. But it is concerning seeing the Madurista faction of the PSUV and now Arce's faction of the MAS in Bolivia spend more time attacking their left rather then the US-backed right wing that only needs to get lucky once to start tearing down the hard won attachments of the last 2 decades of social democracy and both nations.

just three days ago they arrested another right-winger, named guanipa, after months of different right wing collaborators arrested. guaido has its own arrest warranty, the same with the guaido 2.0 a.k.a. edmundo gonzalez. they act upon the legal frame, until they make mistakes and leave knowing the bureaucratic times.
Arce is a very different thing. one of his ministers attacked Venezuela saying "the roads of Bolivia cannot be like those in Venezuela" which Evo correctly said that's not leftist in a The Gray Zone interview.
We don't do that in Venezuela. No Maduro ministers will say something like that from a brotherly nation, specially if they are clearly sovereign and lefty.

>>2284649
I have to come back to expand this conversation, in particular because you are throwing rather ridiculous claims.
>government rather than internal party channels
Parra, the current leader of the PCV explained they depleted the internal party channels, that they won't allow the party to be co-opted by a leadership that pretends it's good idea to divide votes, when it's necessary to give 0 inches to any opposition politician.

you know what the x.com pcv never did? address EACH POINT BY POINT, WITH PROOF PROVING PARRA WRONG, specially when Parra stated that the subversive leadership of the x.com pcv ignored the procedures of the leadership election
I can bring Parra's words and reasoning.
>Parra indicated that they filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court because they believe the current leadership of the PCV is illegitimate and illegal, having been elected at a Congress in which "more than 80% of the party's membership did not participate."


I HAVE NEVER SEEN the x.com pcv stating their internal rules, the acts of the electoral procedures Parra claimed were viciously violated, NEVER, pure deflection and hiding behind wall of texts. Is that dialectical materialism? is it all that with pseudo-Marxism talk communism? is that revolutionary?
go on, ask the x.com pcv proofs proving wrong Parra, ask the solidnet evidence of the same. Ask indefenseofcommunism too, evidence showing how le evil government took over the PCV. no? no evidence? no solid evidence?
excuse you, but fuck you, fuck solidnet, fuck indefenseofcommunism, and fuck all of those paleolithic creatures unwilling to wake up to undeniable evidence that the x.com pcv has no legitimacy, no moral ground, and no reason or whatsoever to be used in a socialist or communistic debate about what my country is, does or wants to achieve.
>And I don't care about Marquez no one in the PCV or Popular Revolutionary Alternative said the guy was a communist so i don't understand the point in bringing him up.
because people like (You) is giving some face of value what the x.com pcv has to say or do. are you mad that I brought him up? get real, their decision needs to face the wall, and assume their consequences, including thPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

A User Writes:
>Will I have to download WeChat for my trip to China?
>I have a trip to China coming up soon, and I know (from my Chinese friends) that WeChat is very popular, and many places prefer it as their method of payment. However (and I will sound like a redneck for a lack of a better word) doesn't WeChat spy on the users, and give the data to the Chinese government? I have important files on my phone (Nuclear power plant plans, etc.)and don't want those to be breached. Also, WeChat has other features, like messaging and social media.
>So, my question is, will WeChat be necessary enough that I'll have to download it? Will it make my trip easier if I download it? Specifically, are there places that only accept WeChat, where it's essential for me to have it?

User answer:
<I have important files on my phone
>Never have stuff like that on your travel phone. Store important stuff in a secure, encrypted location on the Cloud or on hard drives locked away at home.

User answer:
>I don’t know if I would take the phone with the important files to China. It is subject to search and confiscation, which can be done for arbitrary reasons. Maybe get a different phone and have WeChat on that specifically for this trip. That being said, I have sent many people to China before for tourism, and WeChat was never brought up after the trip. I can’t advise on how useful it actually is or what it does as I’m not familiar enough.
>You said it does payments as well? Does that mean the app makes you enter your cc info / account info? That is something I probably wouldn’t find acceptable.

User answer:
>Yes, you need wechat as some places don't even take cash (and almost none takes card). It's bound to your phone number so what you should do is bring a spare phone, buy a Chinese sim card and download wechat onto the spare phone. Other option is to use Alipay which is competing with wechat.

Why lol? You think it's better if a private company controls that data? The issue i see here is that alipay, wechat etc seem to be privately owned, wouldn't be a problem if it was state owned and it would be used for economic planning but it isn't

Printed money is an outdated relic of an outdated age. Yes such apps should be secure and state controlled (or at the very, very least incredibly state regulated). But rejecting that digital payments will be and is current reality will only serve to delay actual security and regulation requirements as "hurr durr you can just pay with cash if you are so worried".

Asif Sakhi, vice president of the left-wing Awami Workers Party (AWP) Gilgit-Baltistan, was arrested by Pakistan’s security forces.
Sakhi has been a part of the movement against the land grabbing in the Gilgit-Baltistan region and was a candidate for the provincial legislative assembly from the AWP in the last elections. He has been arrested for his activism in the past as well.

There is not a single socialist country in the world right now with any power. The ones apparently "socialist" are all in on capitalist exploitation and imperialism only following their own nationalist goals at best. Reactionaries are getting more and more power every day while liberal institutions are declining and no such thing as a Soviet Union exists to counter this era of reaction. Genocides are cool to the masses now and politicians are getting more and more unhinged by the day with technology and surveillance getting so advanced that insurgence becomes practically impossible. Class conciousness is at an all time low as well with workers seeking boogeymen like immigrants, muslims or the chinese. How is anyone supposed to organize against this? Don't answer because you can't. If there was a way it would have happened already. And we haven't even gotten to climate change and how it is already too late to change the direction. I'm not advocating for giving up by the way but shit isn't improving and it's all getting worse.

Title says it all. Martov's hysteria and swampification of the menshevik wing pushed it into an opportunistic alliance with the counterrevolutionary forces. But this does not invalidate menshevik tactics. These are informed by the pre-2nd Int'l German SPD. The kernel of menshevik policy really is in the membership rules. Leninism/bolshevism opts out for professional revolutionaries, financial and organizational support while menshevism opts for financial or organizational support. But bolshevik tactics were suited for a, say, Russian autocracy or Yugoslavian monarchofascism, or Mongolia even; not in 'democratic' western European states. The Brussels/London congress demarcated the tactics for the 'west' (democracies) and 'east' (autocracies).

Which brings me to the main point. Menshevik tactics seem to be historically good when there is actual political and organizational freedom and when they are used with genuine anti-imperialist sentiment.
>the PKI (Indonesian communist party) did not consider itself subordinate to any foreign party.⁷ By then, it was the third-largest communist party in the world—after those of China and the Soviet Union—and the largest outside them. Its strategy of nonviolent, grassroots engagement had yielded considerable success. The party counted over three million official members. Organizations affiliated with the PKI—including SOBSI (Central All-Indonesian Workers Association), LEKRA (People’s Cultural Institute), BTI (Barisan Tani Indonesia), Pemuda Rakyat (People’s Youth), and Gerwani (Women’s Movement)—had an estimated combined membership of at least twenty million.
>Altogether, nearly a quarter of Indonesia’s population of one hundred million was connected to the PKI, and nearly a third of adult registered voters were affiliated with the party.⁸ The PKI operated openly and extensively throughout the country. However, at the national level, its influence over policy was almost entirely dependent on President Sukarno.
Okay, there's the immediate critique also. But I think that we should reevaluate menshevik contribution to the communist movement. Maybe instead of underground tactics we actually start building a genuine popular communist lead anti-imperialist movement. After all, Martov and Arkadieev were two organizers that shifted the RSDLP from circle organizing to factory agitation.

>>2285100
The problem with the mensheviks was fundamental: they weren't a working class party, but a party of petit bourgeois and labor aristocracy. This is reflected in their policies but more importantly, the results of their activity.
You can see this very clearly in today's western "leftism" since they never properly made the distinction: these people will push for liberalism time after time, failure after failure, and swallow all CIA propaganda ever made to be approachable to their idea of the "average person" (petit bourgeois lickspittle) - in reality they agree with it themselves, though, that's just their excuse when called out. Labor aristocracy has a very distinct "leftist" bias in the west and a very distinct liberal bias in eastern europe. It shows very clearly in areas where they are allowed to speak, such as media and science. That's because the working class in western countries never even came close enough to power for its enemies to realize that they are its enemies.
You are not even Marxist if you deny the historical role of the working class, and that's what every menshevik and "leftist" organization always does in practice.

too busy to read the rest right now:
>Maybe instead of underground tactics
Most of us live under liberalism. My party is legal and usually employs legal tactics (with exceptions). What possible benefit would underground tactics have in this situation?

at some point, you're going to be a real pain in the ass to the capitalist class. at that point, they'll employ CIA-like measures like in brazil or indonesia to curb revolutionary communist sentiment. you'll be forced into illegality, even if for a small while, and if you don't know how to operate in those conditions - you're fucked

Modern communist are Marxist-Leninists but they have forgot why people supported this particular strand of communism.
