https://www.bannedthought.net/Sweden/MF/2022/Gonzaloism-ALeftRevisionistDeviation-Berg-3rdEd-2022-OCR.pdfI will give a quick response to this article based on the points it makes.
>Jefatura I actually don't agree with Jefatura and I believe in Collective Leadership, so I will not dispute the article about this.
>Universality of Protracted Peoples War & Militarization of the PartyI strongly disagree with the article on this. It cites Mao a lot but the point is that the period where PPW is universal is a new development. It's just dogmatism to say that because a development of a theory had not been done at the time a thinker was alive, that thinker would not have supported the development. The article's point that it is "petit-bourgeois" since in China it was based on a broad alliance of the people is silly, in urban situations it is assumed the people mean the working class, lumpens and progressive PBs.
It's all well and good to support this "October Road", but this hasn't realistically been a thing in like a hundred hears. It's just dogmatism to old ways to try and do what has only lead to stagnation and revisionism for the last 70-80 years.
PPW is universal (can be used in Urban and Rural, 1st world and 3rd world) and every party should be ready for war. It's actually especially applicable to the 1st world since the intelligence apparatus will destroy any peaceful and legal party. Everyone knows revisionism is a constant fight, and its one they only have to win once while we have to win every time. The subjective situation is that revolution could be any day (even if you don't agree with PPW) and not being organised as an army just means you will miss that. The objective situation is good for revolution. The article says what is proven is what is correct. Well, PPW is the only realistic and provable way for revolution in the 1st and 3rd world. The October Road is a fantasy in modern day 1st world countries.
I have other points but doing work at the moment.
