It becomes imperative for the various strains of infantile left-deviationists (be they the Bordigist armchairs, the dumpster-diving anarchists, or the idealistic voluntarists still clinging to the metaphysics of spontaneity) to immediately confront the sheer magnitude of their historical illiteracy and sign the attached document with the requisite humility.

It is truly fascinating to watch you petty-bourgeois moralists clutch your pearls over actually existing socialism, entirely ignoring that your axioms are derived purely from liberal ideology and fail to account for the material conditions of a besieged proletarian dictatorship attempting to industrialize a plow-based feudal economy into a nuclear superpower in two decades while facing the combined hostility of the entire capitalist world. This dialectic extends inexorably to the PRC as well; for as it has been aptly noted, the productive forces necessary to defend a revolution must be equal to the productive forces attacking it.

Perhaps if you had actually engaged with Capital instead of merely skimming the back cover of The Conquest of Bread or watching CIA-funded video essays, you would comprehend that a revolution is largely the most organized, centralized, and terrifying thing there is. All that crying about "Red Fascism" because the Soviets didn't immediately dissolve the state apparatus while the Wehrmacht was knocking on the door constitutes a counter-revolutionary betrayal of the proletariat.

So please, put down whatever anarchist, leftcom, or revisionist slop you are currently consuming, stop fetishizing failure, and recognize that your "pure" socialism is a phantom; the Real exists only as the profane, this-worldly, dirty-Jewish muck of class struggle. Formally apologize to the General Secretary for your embarrassing lack of theoretical rigor NOW.

What a joke. Workers had to trust this new elite to have their best interests in mind instead of their own interest. Just a new ruling class replacing the old.

>I AM THE BIG BOY POSTER, I HAVE SOLVED THEORY BY GETTING MAD ONLINE

>>2650032
They don't have to trust anything. It's a question of whether the relations of production can accommodate mutually beneficial relations between different segments of the population. In the USSR they could, in capitalist countries they cannot. Ergo the USSR is more democratic in content than the average capitalist country and represented an important step towards proletarian democracy even if it was imperfect. To say that they just "replaced one class with another" ignores the fact that bureaucrats aren't a class, and even if they were this would be a class with an entirely different relationship to the proletariat as compared to capitalists.

Did Marx ever once utter the word "revisionism?" If you think about it. Anti-revisionism is the ultimate revisionism because it is anti-dialectical. It stresses revisiting the "classics" of the numbered heads (however many you think are "worthy" of the title, 4 or 5 or 6) of Marxism-Leninism rather than scientifically studying the evolving world and coming up with New Theses. Marx and Engels were anti-dogmatic and stressed an evolving understanding of the system, yet so many of their followers today are "anti-revisionists" who think nothing (or at least nothing important) has changed since 1883.

So what is the Scientific (tm) Socialist way to distinguish between "Dogmatism" and "Revisionism?" Just loyalty to Marx and Engels? But Engels stresses evolution and context sensitivity in the OP quote, as does historical materialism in general. What is the unambiguous and indisputable way to tell the difference between someone applying Marxism correctly to their particular material conditions, and someone being an "opportunist/revisionist?" What is the unambiguous and indisputable way to tell the difference between someone being loyal to Marx/Engels and someone being overly "dogmatic?" These are not rhetorical questions. I see no clear methodology and I think the a significant amount of Communist infighting may be correlated with (not necessarily caused by) an inability to address these questions.

The Soviet Union opened its very first large toilet paper factory in… 1969
And toilet paper remained in deficit for the whole Soviet period, right until the end.
People would buy Pravda and Komsomol newspapers exclusively to use as toilet paper.
In 1981, a Soviet plane crashed and killed 16 Admirals and Generals because it was overloaded with hoarded toilet paper lol.

I feel like the legendary bunker man is severely under represented in leftypol. I'm pretty sure there was must be a few Hoxhaists here. While I do not know much about Comrade Enver, the little I have read of him is very interesting. For example, his criticism of China and eclecticisms like blending religion and communism (islamic communism e.g).
Let this be a warm bunker for learning and discussing about the Mountain of Tirana.

Socialist Albania was the biggest loss of the late 20th century.
How did it not survive like the DPRK? Did he go too hard on Mao? Should he have studied the "bourgeoisie have a chance to reemerge within the party"? Surely Cuba was more brittle or was the European glowies that more aggressive than the US during that period?
Or have time not elapsed long enough for relevant intelligence agency documents to do with that having been declassified or leaked?

>>2637231
It wouldn't have survived. The implosion of the socialist bloc was a transnational event and can't be understood at a country level. All the countries went more or less through the same process; political/economic liberalization, massive social unrest, western agitation, elections and final collapse of the communist parties. At a time when everyone was openly embracing capitalism it was a matter of time until Albania fell. I guess DPRK, Cuba, Vietnam, etc had the geopolitical advantage of being far away from the chaos but even then they got hit hard and barely made it through.

Leftists in general at least in the West have an obsession with their own intelligence and it makes them incapable of getting along with eachother when every Leftist thinks he's the smartest most ideologically flawless lefty since Lenin. The idea of "agreeing to disagree" just seemingly doesn't exist in the western Left. Everything has to be a fight to the death.

Venezuela's acting leader calls for opening oil industry to foreign investment
Acting-President Rodriguez described cash from the oil sales flowing into two sovereign wealth funds, one to support crisis-stricken health services and another to bolster public infrastructure, much of which was built under Mr Maduro’s legendary predecessor, Hugo Chavez, but has since deteriorated. While Ms Rodriguez slammed the kidnapping of Mr Maduro and referred to a “stain on our relations,” she also promoted the resumption of diplomacy with the US. She said: “Let us not be afraid of diplomacy. “I ask that politics not be transformed, that it not begin with hatred and intolerance.”

Nicholas Kent, the department’s higher education chief, said the agency is “committed to helping student and parent borrowers resume regular, on-time repayment, with more clear and affordable options.”

Why Keir Starmer Went to Bat for Israeli Football Hooligans
Three months ago, the West Midlands police force decided to exclude fans of the Israeli football club Maccabi Tel Aviv from attending a match against Aston Villa in Birmingham, Britain’s second-largest city. They justified the move on the grounds that a violent element within the club’s support base posed a threat to public safety. The British political establishment has responded with a protracted frenzy of hysteria and bad faith, culminating in a successful push by the Labour home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, to oust the chief constable of the West Midlands police, Craig Guildford. Mahmood also wants to bring local police forces under Home Office control — a move that will hand Nigel Farage’s hard-right Reform party a vital tool if it manages to form a government in the coming years. When the controversy first erupted back in October, Jonathan Liew of the Guardian observed that it was “a fascinating case study into the instincts of our political and media class,” betraying their tolerant or downright sympathetic attitude toward the virulent racism expressed by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans. The development of the saga since then has been even more instructive.

Quick run-down: Unlike previous mass protests in Iran the current ones were caused primarily by crushing economic conditions rather than civil rights, and so they carry undeniable proletarian character and potential. The true scale of the protests is hard to confirm due to conflicting imperialist propaganda, however the staggering death toll in such a short period dwarfs the previous protests.
