Lately, I have had a lot of questions that have raised serious questions and expressed opinions about Marxism. There is a feeling that we are all moving in the wrong direction. Western Marxists, instead of focusing on the labor movement, are focusing on protecting the rights of minorities, while Eastern Marxists are enlarge Revisionism and Conservatism in all directions, consolidating with capital. What we need to do, for Make Leftist Great Again? Should we return to strict orthodox Marxism or adapt to the new class structure of the 21st century?"

>There is a labour movement just not fully widespread.
I think thats what he means by "no real", as in not big enough to be significant, this is why it never achieves momentum
the labor movement just doesn't grow in the current conditions like it did in the early 20th century or in the 19th century, and this is not just in the west

>>2775147
As >>2775096 Anon says, today's average, not the radical, western left-wing parties appeal to minority rights, ignore the protection of workers' rights, and turn socialist ideology into luxury and empty talk, all to attract the attention of the liberal public. In Eastern Marxism, for example, in China and post-Soviet countries, we see support for imperialist wars or attempts to restore capitalism, and
they also attract the attention of a conservative and chauvinistic public.

>>2775099
>minneapolis just had a general strike this year
That was a symbolic one-day 'strike' organized explicitly along partisan, cross-class lines that involved brave acts like asking businesses in advance to close so that workers didn't have to disobey their bosses.

Yes labor unions do exist and can do good work but it's disingenuous to claim they constitute a 'movement' if the only way they can get anything done is by allying with liberal political machines or the petty bourgeoisie.

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un observed a test organized by the Armored Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of National Defense Science.
Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, observed a tank capability evaluation test organized by the Armored Weapons Research Institute of the Academy of National Defense Science.
Comrade Kim Jong Un expressed great satisfaction, stating that the test served as an opportunity to demonstrate, through actual action rather than explanation, how superior our new main battle tank is, and to clearly demonstrate how reliable a combat means it is.
Comrade Kim Jong Un stated that through the test conducted today, the functionality of our new main battle tank's interception system has been demonstrated to be perfectly equipped with the capability to thoroughly eliminate almost all existing anti-tank means.
Comrade Kim Jong Un, while evaluating the new main battle tank that demonstrated remarkable combat performance, said that it was once again confirmed that there is no room for doubt in our view, which has already declared that there is no tank in the world comparable to this one.
During the various tests conducted on this day to inspect the active protection system of the new main battle tank, the combat effectiveness of the protection system against anti-tank means attacking from various directions was specifically tested, and the perfection of the defensive function was confirmed with 100% probability.

The Position of the Communist Party of Kenya Regarding North Korea
North Korea is a subject of international debate. Most of the debates on the far east country are however clouded by view of the country that has been created by US government propaganda.
In a bid to provide our readers with a different view of North Korea, ITIKADI spoke to the Communist Party of Kenya Vice-Chairperson, Booker Ngesa Omole, who is also a member of Songun Study in Kenya.

Excerpts….

<Q: What is the position of the Communist Party of Kenya regarding North Korea?

>A: Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is a beacon of hope for all the oppressed and exploited people of the world. DPRK is the pillar of our anti-imperialist struggles. The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) and the Kenyan people have always been friends of the people of North Korea. The African people understand the pain of colonialism, neo-colonialism, and now imperialism. We know who our friends are, imperialism continues to cause untold suffering in Africa, and no amount of Western propaganda and outright lies can prevail over the truth. Some bad-mouth the Korean socialist project and we understand where they are coming from. The remnants of colonialism are still evident and making some people more gullible to believing European and American notions of things. In Europe and North America, conditioned masses, have stubbornly refused to comprehend the reasons why the Empire has made the people of North Korea suffer so terribly for years. American based cable TV channels like CNN have conditioned the thinking of some of our people. The Communist Party of Kenya, among other revolutionary organizations, has been at the forefront to rebut this well-choreographed western propaganda. The alternative anti-imperialist media like TeleSur, Press TV, RT has provided the hardware to lead this war. Social media is another avenue that has been instrumental in our anti-imperialism agenda.

<Q: In the West, there are a lot of talks about the future of Africa -North Korea relations; there are also several commentaries mainly from African left intellectuals on the Korean socialist project. Where is the communist party in this?

Funny cause there arent any marxist leninists or maoist countries left in the world

>>2774793
ML-MZT is modern China's line.
So called "maoism" is a synthesis of trotskyism and anarchism cooked up by a peruvian cult leader + french intelligentsia

>>2774793
Your conception of history is flat, whiggish and unscientific. Class struggle didn't go anywhere, and it moves in spirals. First a city (Paris Commune); then we "lost", supposedly? Then the third half of the globe (1950s); then we "lost", supposedly? Now the world. What % of the world population earns their income from wages today? Versus what in the 1890s?
>>2774801
No, MZT was replaced with reform and opening up. The revisionist CPC today actively censors and distorts its depiction of MZT and Marxism-Leninism overall, as well as significant historical periods of their own country's modern history, in a desperate attempt to try to secure their corrosive bureaucrat-monopoly capitalist line. It will not work and they will either hand it over to the reactionary nationalists (when they find the mechanism of allied national capitalist forces stable enough) or be overthrown by the revolutionary chinese proletariat ready to retake control. Seeing the movements in the international system right now, arrows point to the middle of the century being a catastrophic / excellent event. The revisionist clique relatedly will try their best to to stabilize capitalism with lies about "[communism in x decades]" during this time. It will be met with a reawakened world not willing to compromise with reactionary classes. You are partially correct on the point of Gonzaloist "Maoism". I recommend you read this thread: >>2767836

As a matter of fact, the exact opposite is the case. Marx's idea is that the working class must break up, smash the "ready-made state machinery", and not confine itself merely to laying hold of it.

>>2774753
This misconception is a very easy filter for people who didn't read or understand the Gotha Critique

>>2774753
Well good thing I didn't contradict that

Unless you mean that Marx never rnvisioned building a proletarian state after smashing the "ready made" state machinery, in which case you watched too much cuck philosophy videos

its really gay when you refer to an absolute nobody as a mononymic Lastname as if they were Einstein or Gandhi in an attempt to have him taken more seriously. many "people" here guilty of this

The pigs, No mystery as to whom they represent, They even steal our protagonists' eggs and they're determined to put an end to this robbery once and for all.
The pigs are usually encamped in elaborate building structures which represents the deeply embedded and far reaching capitalist system while our heroes, the birds, can only ensure an end to the robbery by destroying them. Parallel to the proletarians' task to smash the state machinery. If otherwise the game would be a defensive one (reform, fending off against the porks)

To top it all off, birds can fly, Which symbolizes the infinite potential and rise of living standards of the proles once their shackles to the exploitative system is gotten rid off.

Very clear that the main character being red is an homage to the Soviet Union.

Civilians under fire by gangs in Gaza: What happened in Maghazi?
The Gaza Centre for Human Rights claims that Israel is increasingly supporting these groups to carry out operations within densely populated camps and neighbourhoods. It said armed drones provided direct support on Monday, firing heavily and randomly into alleys in the camp to aid the armed men’s withdrawal. The centre added that it has documented previous violence by these groups, including looting of aid convoys, kidnappings, torture and killings, with cover or support from the Israeli army.

Promises, Promises: AOC, Israel, and the DSA
… To overlook or ignore these facts, or to pretend that the Zionist state of Israel is worth defending, is little more than a passive form of what Lenin called “social chauvinism.” Indeed, it is not enough to merely oppose military funding to Israel; any socialist worthy of the name must fundamentally be opposed to the existence of the Zionist regime and for the defeat of U.S. imperialism. The real question, however, is this: how did a socialist organization, whose rank-and-file members endorsed the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement in 2017, and who voted to identify as an anti-Zionist organization in 2025, wind up in such a situation to begin with? And why have they allowed their most public political figure to continue to support Israel for so long even as it carried out a genocide against the people of Gaza? The answer has little to do with the DSA’s official positions on Israel and everything to do with its electoral strategy and its failure to break with the imperialist Democratic Party.

Anti-establishment anger builds in Scotland – but where will it go?=
On the streets of Scotland, you would be forgiven for not realising there is an election going on at all. The usual party stalls and leafleters are missing, and parties are reporting difficulties getting volunteers to go out campaigning. Instead, there is a general mood of despondency. Despite their lead in the polls, there is a notable lack of enthusiasm for the SNP. One recent survey showed that only five percent of Scots think the party has done a very good job in government since 2007. Nevertheless, given the lack of any other pro-independence alternative, many workers will still hold their nose and vote for the SNP this May, or simply not bother voting at all.

So according to Vivek Chibber what communists need to do is the following:

-Middle class intellectuals must create a party of dedicated cadres who will then approach the workers by committing class suicide.
-Some of these workers will be recruited as ideologically committed cadres who will then unionize their workplace, creating unions separated from the core organization
-There must be discipline and accountability
-Once there, we will somehow figure out how to solve the questions on how to organize workers in the face of globalization, capital flight, and so on
  • Must engage in social reforms to gain ground and then weaken the enemy using their own tools

This isn’t very different from what Felix says, the only difference being Felix wants to use violence instead of organizing workers.

There’s no excuse at this point. Chibber has offered a viable strategy, the only problem is finding cadres willing to commit class suicide

Pretty sure Chibber read Gramsci.

>>2773890
Yeah, the SWP in the US did that. They also tried to arrange relationships (ie, dating) between their members and other workers.

>>2773905
I alr have a job so I'd be the guy getting approached by the middle class suicidals at least for now. I actually interact with both segments since out of my social circle im the nerd that got into college through scholarships and tbqh has failed at making middle class college friends and still hangs out with my old hs buddies who are in the trades or amazon warehouses. So maybe one day I might have a chance to commit class suicide but I don't even know if this college shit will pan out in the first place anyways. I feel like the first issue of this strategy is how would a middle aged intellectual with no prior experience even break into some of the trades? on the other hand that would result in these cadres being disproportional made up of shit like roofers,landscapers,cooks and warehouse workers all of which are huge demographics with little to no union presence ik of.

to my mind Chibber's most important strategy concerns the total repudiation of the modern cultural left by getting rid of neoliberal identitarianism which has fragmented class struggles and returning to universalist enlightenment principles. this lays the necessary groundwork for greater class organization among wage-workers, leading to class consciousness. the role of the intellectual is to articulate via basic, common sense analytical Marxism a robust defense of socialism, emphasizing material class structures and objective economic interests

Honest question (NOT trolling):

What exactly should the western left do for Palestine that they haven’t already been doing for the past 2.5 years (or even longer for that matter)?

I’ve seen Palestinian activists say “we need to do more to stop the genocide” more times than I can count. But what should we feasibly be doing that we’re not doing already? Boycotts? Mass protests? Blockading arms sales? Policing your peers’ consumer habits so they’re compliant with BDS? Making lists of politicians who receive money from AIPAC and voting them out? We’ve done this already. In NYC, there was a mass protest every fucking weekend where we were told to “escalate for Gaza” yet we never escalated; I don’t even fucking know what “escalate” is supposed to mean. Were we supposed to be engaging in violent riots and molotoving the banks or whatever?

I asked this to a comrade of mine and he said: “You know what we mean when we want the left to do more for Palestine.” By that, he clearly means engage in political violence, bring back the Weathermen. But how would ultra-left adventurism do anything? Elias Rodriguez did exactly this and is now facing life in prison for killing two interns who were replaced the next day. What a fucking waste.

The American left is way too weak, disorganized, and incompetent to do anything meaningful to help the Palestinians resist or stop Israel. It’s gotten to the point where people are putting all their hope and faith in the idea Israel will collapse on its own because they’ve run out of strategies. So what should the left be doing that it’s not doing already? Give clear examples.

How are they supposed to do that when their society has been destabilized?

Support for Israel is massively declining among anyone born after 1980. Millennials and zoomers DESPISE Israel. Give it time. 20 years from now the boomers will have all died and US foreign policy will have shifted tremendously.
