/leftypol/ - Leftist Politically Incorrect

once the answer is 'yes' to every question listed can you say that you actually have a communist party
i've come up with this checklist for objective conditions to exist based on studying the russian revolution. i'm correct. i'll also give my thoughts on the subjective factors of revolution but for that you can also read chernyshevsky and dzerzhinskiy's diary from prison.

1. Is there a group of intelligensia that raised the banner of Marxism in a given country?
2. Did it grow on its own or in opposition to some already existing unscientific popular anticapitalist movement?
3. Is a popular political programme written?
4. Have Marxist circles of intelligents multiplied, spread, expanded, all while upholding the programme?
5. Have the Marxist circles united around party principles?
6. Is party-to-be ready to pass from circle propaganda to mass agitation?
7. Is there mass workers movement already existing? Are workers already struggling and organizing on their own? That is, is consciousness ripe to pass from trade-unionism to party-building? Is it below trade-union consiousness?
8. Has the would-be party educated enough workers politically in their struggle? Has it explained and connected the mass movement with communist political demands?
9. Has the would-be party built enough connections among the working class movement? Enough working class organizations? Built trust among the workers by working amongst them? Ready to respond to every injustice the workers may face?
10. Does the would-be party give impetus elswhere across the country to establish similar working class organizations? Are groundworks laid for an all-country organization that can start building the communist party and go against the bourgeois state?

you'll notice that every single question leaves no room for interpertation. they all follow the SMART mnemonic. specific - measurable - achieavable - relevant - time-oriented

A thread dedicated to posting declassified CIA documents, preferably of their anti-communist activities and their involvment in imperialist policies.

Let's start with the CIA's recommended actions to be taken after Khruschev's famous anti-Stalin """secret speech""" at the 20th congress. It's an interesting document because it showcases that
>yes, the CIA (and burger policy makers) do actually believe their own propaganda, even when they are completely conscious of the fact that they just "made it up, lol". It's a truly scizophrenic institution.
>yes, they prefer to control "both sides" of any topic, instead of just lamely chosing the obvious side to take
>yes, the M-Ls are always right:
<Leon Trotsky in his book The Revolution Betrayed, alleged that the rise of Joseph Stalin to power was a Soviet Thermidor for 'not restoring capitalism', yet still being a 'counterrevolutionary regression' within the regime of the USSR, as Thermidor did not restore a monarchy, etc. Marxist-Leninists and Stalinists have periodically argued that Nikita Khruschev's rise to power and the implementation of De-Stalinization as the Soviet Union’s Thermidor. A CIA document considered Khruschev's "On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences" may have 'marked the "Thermidor" of the Russian Revolution'.

This is an apt descriptor of the Ukraine war.

Israel is on both sides.

Everywhere they go there is a problem.

Citizens of nations cannot affect the laws in nations. Even if they have a cause and bond together and even if there is an international cause with a larger presence overseas.
Voting doesn't work, if it worked they would make it illegal. You only vote for parties which run with campaign promises and may not even follow up on them and even if they do - the results are always lackluster.
Rebelling and fighting doesn't work because it is impossible to organize it, the rebellion will be crushed and you're wagering your life.
Citizens cannot do anything meaningful. The only "change from within" comes if the motif to profit allows it to occur. So summed up
-We cannot do anything
-If we do anything to oppose the law it poses a life risk
-Protests don't work, peaceful protests are temporary and achieve nothing

So what is the solution?
There is no solution, most people are pretty much stuck in their life and can only complain or suffer the problems caused by the nation. If you want something, then you're simply not getting it.
As a citizen you will also be targeted by other citizens in real life and online for opposing the status quo, even by others who claim to oppose the status quo over preferences - wants, needs and attempts to exchange information. As a citizen your information and experienced values less than the material pushed out by the nation and its many resources.

Lets look at Lenin - why did he manage to succeed?
Lenin didn't even think the revolution would happen in his lifetime, he was out of his prime, suffered and finally succumbed to death before even getting to enjoy what he fought to create. Later it was all gone and his followers had split.
Why did he manage to initially succeed though? Because he had nothing to lose, whereas now everyone has something to lose with the majority of people being tangled up in the inter web - inter net.

Ok anons, should I join Union del Barrio? They are a Chicano and ML organization that is in my area, doesn't seem all that revisionist too, I wanna join since I am literally Mexican and I wanna start organizing my community since undocumented workers alresdy have some sense of class consciousness too. They've been on Democracy Now ans mainstream publications now, they were OGs in the LA Riots before shitlibs began to join… What do you guys think?

the largest fascists groups comprised of nationalist veterans and usually lead by pro-war political elements in ww1 i even remember some nazis claiming that fighting in war was akin to some kind of transcendental meditation and that the pointlessness of world war 1 was actually some kind of revolution so how much did the war play a part in creating fascism ?

How exactly should we react when a cultural icon (or person with a decent amount of cultural significance) is revealed to be a Zionist?

I know there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism, but seeing cultural figures be openly pro-Zionism especially when the Zionist entity is engaged in an overt genocide and mass-starvation is honestly disgusting. I was told that the main purpose of BDS isn’t to “crash” the Zionist entity’s economy but rather to expose how engulfed modern culture is in Zionism, like when you realize boycotting is near impossible because entire industries have ties to the Zionist entity such as the music and film industries.

Soft power is a lot more powerful than we realize and even using a term like “Israeli salad” or working with a Zionist settler normalizes Zionist colonialism and genocide. What must we do to end this? And how should we treat notable figures who are pro-Zionist given that they normalize Zionism and manufacture consent for genocide at all times?

I find it funny how CUCKshott says le gay males are all bourgeois because they don't have children while not applying the same logic to lesbians because he jerks off to lesbian porn
