A thread to share of what you think are your controversial opinons and takes, here mine:

- mass immigration is bad overall (I'm not against immigration per se, more like unfiltered immigration is quiet bad in my opinion)

-religion in general are bad, reactionary and backwater, and trying to "fuse" religion and left leaning politics are bound to fail because both doesn't mix well

-"liberal" eugenics is mostly right and should be mass adopted

-China is actually a trying a form of modernize socialism with end goal of becoming a full fledged socialist nation when they exhaust the market-capitalism form of relation in the country

-North Korea is a abomination of socialism

-Supporting Russia is stupid because Putin is nowhere near close to be a support of socialism and progressive politics and is just a form of support imperialist politics by because isn't western somehow is good, it's like supporting japanese imperialism back in the WW 2 era isn't western

It's always shocking to me how common sexual solipcism is among bi people, even more so than among straights, you would think it was the opposite but no.

Maersk is still shipping weapons parts to Israel despite denial, new report says
The bullet parts Maersk has reportedly helped to deliver are the same kind that killed Hind Rajab in 2024 and also countless other children in Gaza, as shown in a New York Times essay published later that year, the authors of the report said. The bomb bodies provide the casing for the 900-kilogram "bunker buster" MK-84 bombs that Israel has used in Gaza and Lebanon.

‘Every day the policy changes’: chaos and confusion for Filipino workers over US immigration rules
Jay is one of thousands of Filipinos in vital care-giving roles in America whose lives have become more precarious under the Trump administration’s chaotic crackdown on immigration, forcing some into more vulnerable working conditions. It is an experience he has already lived. Together with his colleague Lei*, Jay was employed in a residential aged care home where he was made to work months without a single day off. Lei slept underneath the stairs; Jay in a storage room.

History is Calling us: Let’s Follow Kaypakkaya’s Path! — TKP-ML/MKP
History, within its own cycle, has vindicated Comrade Leader; before long, workers and peasants flocked to the revolutionary struggle in droves. This was what could not be seen in the pitch-black darkness of March 12, and Comrade Leader İbrahim Kaypakkaya has slammed this reality in the face of every form of liquidationism. Today, however, the historical cycle has created a new dilemma. Either a free world will be created through the power of necessity to create the new; or, swept into the vortex of reformism, pacifism, and every current that rejects the revolutionary option, we will become mere pillars of this decaying, obsolete order of the past. This is precisely the dilemma being imposed on the international communist movement and the international proletariat today. The pillars of the imperialist capitalist system have eroded. The imperialist capitalist system is floundering in a crisis vortex. The widening and deepening of the rift between imperialist blocs has intensified the struggle for dominance over market areas and trade routes. Shrinking markets and losses of hegemony are pushing the imperialist bloc led by the U.S. and Britain into a more aggressive and belligerent stance against China and Russia. At this stage, the doors to a new imperialist war of partition are being forced wide open. Conflicts and wars have become widespread, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, in line with imperialist competition. Precisely for this reason, a comprehensive campaign of liquidation has been launched against the communist and resistance movements engaged in armed struggle, aimed at preventing the oppressed peoples of the world from turning to the revolutionary option in the face of this crisis. The concept of annihilation and destruction has been put into action through various means.

Which is more correct:

>Communists should treat the petty bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie, the liberals, the social democrats, the conservatives, the fascists, and the anarchists as equally hostile threats to Communism, never distinguish between them as groups, and always lump them in with each other. No effort should be made to pit these groups against each other, it should be assumed they are all on the same team and would never fight each other. None of these groups are worthy of critical support against others, not even in the context of anti-imperialism.


<Communists should distinguish between their enemies, since their enemies have different motivations and different interests. They can and should be pit against one another. Critical support should be given to lesser enemies against stronger enemies, to weaken the stronger enemies, and get the lesser enemies eliminated early. Social democrats should not be simply regarded as left wing fascists in a stale regurgitation of the 1920s comintern line, especially since Stalin abandoned that line and was even willing to tolerate liberal bourgeoisie like Roosevelt and conservative bourgeoisie like Churchill as allies against Hitler. Depending on context, groups are often worthy of critical support against others, especially in the context of anti-imperialism.


I think it is clearly the second, one, yet I often see takes approximating the first one on here. Why is that?

The second one is obviously correct.
>yet I often see takes approximating the first one on here. Why is that?
Because people are stuck in a Comintern Third Period LARP when communists actually had the strength to accomplish shit on their own, and there was far less common ground or interests between them and other political forces.

  1. shitting and screaming online isnt a good representation of what communists today or in the past engaging in praxis actually do
  2. the second is another flat strawman but in the other direction. distinctions have been made. thats why we even have different terms for it, like, poopular front (where you capitulate to Kamala Harris to save bourgeois democracy), united front from above (where you capitulate to Sir Keir Starmer to save bourgeois democracy), united front from below (where you tactically collaborate with grassroots labor unions who don't follow your exact program or even tendency, in order to strike the hardest blow possible to all bourgeois forces), social-fascism thesis / third period (the "brilliant" tactic where you self-isolate the militant laborers in red unions and in an adventurist and commandist manner call everyone not apart of your tiny orgs "fascists".
I think united front from below is both the one that retains relevance in the developed material conditions of today, but also having the better historical W/L ratio.

How the hell is there less information about Laos than about even North Korea? Literally anyone can freely travel to Laos unlike the DPRK.

There's plenty of writings on Juche but seemingly zero focused on the government of Laos, its ideology, its revolution etc.

Small landlocked nation, too isolated to be noticed outside it's region.

North Korea in contrast is largely known, because most of the western world, fought a war against it, and is in an inactive war between it's rival in the South, backed by the US.

Also, the peninsula has larger than life historical personalities.

Just fighting for higher wage is economist. Read "what is to be done" Lenin explained how economism and trade-unionism harming the revolution.

>>2834067
did you read the second part of the post?

Fighting for higher wages is a tactic, not the end goal obviously. It's a VERY useful tactic.

1) It exposes fraudulent opportunists who can no longer hide behind slogans and have to pick a side in the class war.

2) It also reveals to workers the limits of capitalism. When merely fighting for higher wages doesn't solve all problems, workers can be shown that eliminating the wage system itself is necessary.

3) Militant action gives workers experience on how to organize and how to resist state power

4) The battles increase solidarity between workers.

Did we tried to establish communism the marxian way? Lets take Russia, China and Vietnam. They all got from feudalism to socialism without even putting down capitalism. Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the revolutions which took place in those country came from the intellectual class instead of the proletariat.
Please enlight me.

Wrong
Russia was industrializing

>>2816385
>intellectual class
no such thing

>They all got from feudalism to socialism without even putting down capitalism.
The idea that you must go through a formulaic progression through each stage of development is dogmatic I think. The real significance of Marx's works is that socialism is impossible before capitalism and capitalist methods of production (i.e. industrialization) are widespread. It doesn't follow from this that each individual country needs to be capitalist before it can be socialist, especially if the techniques and technology to establish an industrial base can simply be imported from capitalist countries, as the Soviets did. Marx argued that Western Europe was already ready for a socialist revolution in the mid 19th century, despite the fact that the bulk of the population were still peasants.
>Furthermore, if I remember correctly, the revolutions which took place in those country came from the intellectual class instead of the proletariat.
You remember incorrectly. All political movements have a component of intelligentsia. The class character of a movement is determined by who forms the bulk of its ranks, strongest base of support, and what objective class interests it represents.

Were they state capitalist? I remember some writer criticizing this view of the USSR because it had so many small private farms.
