>Always wondered how MLs can believe in Democratic Centralism but then have different national parties around the world making separate decisions and ending up with contradictory policies. Does the word CENTRALISM have meaning or not?
>How do basic large scale organisations work? Why didn't stalin just decide what every single communist did in their local union meeting, personally?

The decisions made by the comintern were binding to all it's members. You simply do not actually know history.

The political trade-off of unity in action through common decisions vs guarding against trying to generalized tactics that only work in specific contexts is as old as time and will never end. Additionally, a lot of contradictory decisions are arrived at because of forms of national chauvinism or opportunism, whether conscious or unconscious. Every communist in power, no matter how disciplined, feels the weight of the survival of their own socialist experiment on their shoulder, and no amount of abstract long term 6d chess "it would be beneficial for the revolution" actual arguments can convince a whole communist country to throw themselves onto the sword. People are not drones, which is why you cannot just send endless armies into their death as if you are playing age of empires in real life either, soldiers won't willingly go on suicide missions as a rule. Thats why generals keep the people actually dying in the dark about the grand strategic tradeoffs, and always have a plausible explanation for why their sacrificed pawns were not intended to die, to tell the widows.

The soviets, even the most hardline ones, did foreign policy that first and foremost protected the soviet union as a state. The chinese likewise will not sacrifice themselves in a ball of fire for world revolution. It is therefore actually more important not to advocate for absurdist ultra-centralism like you do, which in history has just led to all the parties operating in capitalist countries to be forced to tow the foreign policy line of the established communist nations, even if those actions turned out to be extremely detrimental to local organizing success and the global communist movement.

>inb4 retards who in comparison make Stalin look like an anarchist go "There is only one communism"
Then why didn't this one true way to do communism work everywhere?
>Well you see, local conditions eh
Then there is the gap between what you say and what you, deep inside, know to be true, and why you must realize to let go of the dogmatism that has yielded no results in almost a century in most of the west, and half a century or more in the non alligned world.

>You simply do not actually know history.
Whew, glad to know the Sino Soviet split never existed. It was all fever dream, the USSR is still going strong and communist movement will sweep away the dying capitalist powers any day now.
>The political trade-off of unity in action through common decisions vs guarding against trying to generalized tactics that only work in specific contexts is as old as time
Yes and sooner or later there needs to be a world body that make decision for the world policy.
>will never end.
Of course it will end eventually. And when that happens there will be one communist global order to organize it.
>It is therefore actually more important not to advocate for absurdist ultra-centralism like you do
Just because it's difficult to coordinate several nations and subordinate them to a larger body, does not mean it is no longer a goal.

Also all the nations you speak of were forced together in the first place so I don't see why their current identity suddenly becomes sacred only now. China and the Han Chinese only became as large as it is by conquering thousands of smaller people over many thousands of years. We only refer to them as single people now because they forced many separate peoples to have their identities merged. This is literally how all current nations and ethnicities formed in the first place. Why are communist demanding this process arbitrarily stop now?

What did he do?

Nonsense. The material base of sexism is domestic labor and the female labor force participation rate. Unfortunately, there is a much larger need for domestic labor in the periphery and much less demand for labor in general. It's no different than how Gaza has an abysmal female labor participation rate of 20%. This is due to Palestinians being fucking genocided but the result remains. The solution is a planned economy which can drive down managerial overheads and drive up employment rates.

>I don’t know where the op is from but this type of left-wing-homophobia is common blowback for how the west acts all high and mighty for being so “Progressive” with queer people while exploiting the global south.
it's not blowback since the "west" treating LGBT people with any humanity whatsoever is a very VERY recent development, as is the pinkwashing of NATO. During the cold war, I would argue the imperialist west was just as, or possibly even more 'phobic than the USSR.

>The Ukrainazis killed thousands of ethnic Russians before Russia came to liberate them genocide
Are you referring to the allegations of genocide is Donbas? Because I’m sure that there were tons of massacres of Ethnic Russians and tons of discrimination against them. However there was no genocide and it’s just a made up claim by Putin to justify his imperialist conquest of Ukraine. Russia is not a liberator, there just moving Ukraine from one bad to another, how is bombing apartment buildings and abducting Ukrainian children and putting them in boarding schools where they are forced to only speak Russian “Liberating?”

It likely wont be possible, sadly. This work is still-in-print and Charlier's family controls the rights. While it's entirely possible that they'd give the project their blessing, this wouldn't be something I could just take straight to a publisher. My current plan is it archive it on Library Genesis and format a digital version which could be bound from home.

Preface (1954)

Relatively few in number have, concerning the formation of the nation, presented the results of their work, and that work has been fragmentary. But through their work the materiality of the facts is now established, the essential character of the events acquired, barring, as always, a few possible clarifications and details.

It was inevitable that, from these accumulated scattered materials, a general overview would emerge; where the interplay of all these fragments, succeeding one another and clashing according to a rhythm, could be shown to conform to the laws of history which condition the constants of social evolution since the organization of the first societies.

The author of this book devoted himself to this task. Here is the result of enormous labor. So many questions which, until now, remained obscure in their complexity or poorly explained in their causality, despite the efforts of researchers, are treated and analyzed here according to the strictest methods of modern information. The mechanism that was the secret driving force, under a myriad of appearances, whose processes disconcerted the shortsightedness of many commentators, is explained here.

With an unparalleled wealth of detail, colonial society is brought back to life, torn between the demands of a revolutionary period and the imperative of class interests. Hence its inconsistencies, its sycophantic concessions, a seesaw game that is merely the political representation of the contradictions inherent to a political system destined for the worms. Hence the tenacious, fierce struggle of a reactionary bourgeoisie braced in defense of its privileges against the rush of the enslaved masses determined to violently seize the end of their exploitation; against the rise of the freedmen seeking to complete, through the conquest of political rights, the status acquired through the power of money.

The clarity of this critique, sharpened by the objective methods of the laws of science, is manifest in the examination of this Southern War where, alongside a question of epidermal nuance which is certainly not to be minimized, there is inscribed an economic content of capital importance. This refers to the action of the two colonialist powers, the English and the Yankee, trying to secure their interests against the French, as well as the class struggle in Saint-Domingue which had reached a point of exasperation.

Chapter 1.1 - The Conquistadors Found Hispaniola Upon the Ruins of Indigenous Communities

On December 6, 1492, while the natives of Marien(1) were peacefully going about their daily routines, they saw the arrival of three caravels(2) carrying men of an unknown race: it was Christopher Columbus and his companions who, after having discovered San Salvador and Cuba, landed in Haïti, which the admiral designated by the name of Hispaniola or “Little Spain”.

The Cacique of Marien, Guacanagaric, being of a peaceful nature, received the Spaniards with open arms and even granted Columbus a site to build a fort "La Natividad" with the debris of the Santa Maria, which had been shipwrecked. The admiral left a contingent there before departing for Spain.

However, as was to be expected, the Spaniards departed Fort La Natividad expecting to act as masters and lords: they had an easy time with the gentle Guacanagaric but when they moved on to Maguana, in search of gold, they found themselves facing a man of a different caliber: the Cacique Caonabo, of the warrior race of the Caribs.(3) The intrepid Indian chief massacred them all, invaded Marien, and reduced Fort La Natividad to ashes.

Columbus soon returned to Hispaniola, but this time, with the necessary forces for the conquest and military occupation of the country. The invaders founded Isabella, on the northern coast and, starting from this base, invaded the interior of the island. Caonabo and Guarionex, Cacique of Magua, marched against the city but suffered setbacks. Shortly after, thanks to a ruse, Alonso de Ojeda succeeded in seizing Caonabo, still the most formidable enemy of the colonizers. The unfortunate cacique, chained, perished when the boat that was transporting him to Spain sank. The Natives, under the orders of a brother of Caonabo, Manicatex, attempted to avenge their fallen chief; armed simply with arrows, they confronted the Spanish cavalry and muskets at the battle of La Vega Real in 1495, but the outcome of the struggle could not be in doubt. The natives were cut to pieces, devoured by ferocious dogs, and massacred by the thousands. The great, very Christian admiral had no scruples about reducing the vanquished to slavery. In the name of “repartimientos”, each of Columbus's companions received allotments of slaves either to work in the golPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Chapter 1.1 Notes

(1) When it was found by Europeans, the Island, which its inhabitants called Quisqueya, Bohio or Haïti interchangeably, was divided into five caciquats or kingdoms: 1. Marien in the northwest, 2. Magua in the northeast, 3. Maguana in the center, 4. Xaragua in the southwest, and 5. Higüey in the southeast. The caciques were respectively Guacanagaric, Guarionex, Caonabo, Bohéchio, and Cotubanama.

The population, composed of Arawaks (Taínos) who probably came from South America, having conquered the country from the Ciboneys generally reduced to slavery but of whom some groupings perhaps remained more or less autonomous in the extreme tip of the southern peninsula (Guacavarina, that is to say the current Tiburon), was in the Neolithic era with a relatively advanced agriculture since it cultivated most of the plant species that ensure the food supply of the Haitian masses today (see Jacques Roumain, Contribution à l'étude de l'ethnobotanique précolombienne des Grandes Antilles and Michel Aubourg, Mémoire sur les cultures précolombiennes, Ciboney et Taíno. These two works are publications of the Bureau d'Ethnologie de la République d'Haïti, the first from February 1942 and the second from February 1951). This population perhaps amounted to 1 and a half million.

(2) The Niña and the Santa Maria landed at the current Bay of Môle Saint-Nicolas while the Pinta visited ports further east because its commander, Martin Alonse Pinçon, had surreptitiously separated from Columbus after their departure from Cuba on November 21, thinking of being the first to lay hands on the gold mines of Cibao, where natives of Haiti taken from Cuba were leading them (see Father Charlevoix, Histoire de l'Île Espagnole ou St-Domingue, M.D.CC,XXX edition, volume one, p. 90 and following).

(3) The Caribs populated the Lesser Antilles but had often made incursions against the Taíno of Haiti, “especially those of Higüey”: they were of warrior customs.

(4) In his letter to the lord Raphael Sanchez, treasurer of Their Catholic Majesties, Christopher Columbus writes: “As far as I have learned, every man throughout these islands is united to but one wife, with the exception of the kings and princes, who are allowed to have twenty: the women seem to work more than the men. I could not clearly understand whether the people possess any private property, for I pPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Lmfao peak pseud shit, to Marx dialectics is just a mode of presentation for his ideas. People who unironically think that a knowledge of "dialectics" or whatever helps you master the world of subjects are just religious fanatics under a different name.

Here are (1) Hegel, (2 & 3) Marx on Hegel, and (4) Marx on his own "method".

Marx is very clear here: he does not have a method. A scientific investigation has to "appropriate the material in detail, analyse all forms of development and trace out their inner connections" rather than starting out with a ready-made schema and distorting the material to fit it like pretty much all of philosophy does.
