Marxism-Leninism obviously failed because the communists lost the struggle of the 20th Century, that’s just a fact regardless of if you want to face reality or not
Part of why the communists failed is because every Marxist-Leninist state with the exception of Cuba and North Korea either reverted to capitalism, or collapsed and then reverted to capitalism; the only powerful self-professed ML state in the world doesn’t help the worker’s movement or communist struggle in any country so them being self-described ML is effectively irrelevant and even most supporters of the country (China) don’t actually claim that the new Cold War is about capitalism vs socialism but just if America continues ruling the planet

OP, look for critiques of revisionism, and histories of how capitalist roaders took control in China. These are the critiques of ML - because ML couldnt prevent this. But as it stands both Marx and Lenin stand tall still, since socialist revolutions got fucked exactly where they didnt follow through with the previous understandings of what's necessary.
That's not to say that theory comes before practice, but tbh anyone talking about revisionism and succumbing to capitalism as some kind of socialism-in-practice and a situational win is delusional.

can’t help us (as most dengists adamantly believe) then they shouldn’t mean shit to me because their politics are therefore irrelevant

ok but you're literally wrong, even limiting yourself to non-ML* socialist movements
No.1107826
>>1107563Usually I'd say "democratic confederalism/ some form of communalism", but the problem is OP, is that you've yet to define what specific brand of Marxism Leninism. Are we talking Maoism, Hoxhaism, Titoism or the Pan Africanism advocated by Sankara and Kwame Nkrumah etc. because each of these have different theoretical deviations and for the longest time, Marxist Leninist states stood in opposition/ condemned other Marxist Leninist states- from Thomas Sankara criticizing the USSR, and Maoist Guerillas criticizing China.
Secondly, Marxism Leninism, although having unique flaws isn't free from other compromises that even Libertarian Communist/ Socialist experiments had to make- i.e still engaging with the capitalist world and more or less having an element of commodity production- the reasons for this being that they have to make them in order to survive within global capitalism- these include but are not limited to the AANES and Zapatista controlled Chiappas. I'd personally argue that on the basis of them being states and seeking to maintain it, the state soon became its own class that acted against the working class interests, despite it being initially a positive force. An example of this is the USSR which, despite its population wanting to maintain itself as a socialist republic, had its own vanguard dissolve itself. The other ML states, as some MLs would argue, have fallen to revisionism and have more or less abandoned international solidarity for survival- partially due to internal factors of opportunists and external factors which were beyond their control. We can shake our fists at China backing the Mujahadeen and more or less backstabbing the USSR post Mao, but it's important to understand its successes as well as its failings.
Thirdly, Marxism Leninism is an ever evolving ideology- constantly changing, shifting and developing as history goes on. The problem is, is that so called "MLs" think we're still in the 20th century and prefer reading Lenin, a tiny few quotes from Marx, and a few obscure itallian marxists and call it a day- that is if their brains don't get rotted by stalinoids, gonzaloids or vulgar materialists/ campists. However, despite what I've said, theory isn't entirely the problem- it's dogma.
personally one of the reasons I'm more or less dem-con/communalist is based moreso on Australia's material conditions and its indigenous/ immigrant population, alongside its unique eco-system, but I sure as fuck ain't gonna go and scream "red-fash" at someplace like Vietnam, because even though I'm not in favour of vanguardism, I'm not going to call to sabotage vietnam etc. Also Dem-Con actually seems to respect the plurality of human existance, and trying to enforce a form of national uniformity via a state is fucking whackAt the end of the day OP, if you're trying to pout about alternatives to "ML" you have a choice- you can either trade in one group of dogmatists for another, or realise the flaws and merits of each socialist tendency and embrace them in their plurality.

Alongside collapsing ecology we also have a collapsing global economy, insane fall in living standards for proletarians, a terrifying fascist lurch in the West, and a clear movement towards armed confrontation between the Atlanticist bloc and emergent Eastern bloc, so it’ll be a lot more than just ecology, but ecology will be a fundamental part

even lenin understood this which is why he didnt want to be mummified and put on display after death and a bunch of statues of him put up. hero worship, cult of personality, etc. leading to class distinction between apparatchiks and regular people. this distinction also gave anti communists a lot of propaganda, pretty much every piece of anti soviet propaganda etc. wasn't "it was worse than russia under capitalism"(as this is obviously untrue), but more about the preservation of class differences.
As Marx said, "At the moment, while the democratic petty bourgeois are everywhere oppressed, they preach to the proletariat general unity and reconciliation; they extend the hand of friendship, and seek to found a great opposition party which will embrace all shades of democratic opinion; that is, they seek to ensnare the workers in a party organization in which general social-democratic phrases prevail while their particular interests are kept hidden behind, and in which, for the sake of preserving the peace, the specific demands of the proletariat may not be presented. Such a unity would be to their advantage alone and to the complete disadvantage of the proletariat. The proletariat would lose all its hard-won independent position and be reduced once more to a mere appendage of official bourgeois democracy. This unity must therefore be resisted in the most decisive manner. Instead of lowering themselves to the level of an applauding chorus, the workers, and above all the League, must work for the creation of an independent organization of the workers’ party, both secret and open, and alongside the official democrats, and the League must aim to make every one of its communes a center and nucleus of workers’ associations in which the position and interests of the proletariat can be discussed free from bourgeois influence."
and: "To be able forcefully and threateningly to oppose this party, whose betrayal of the workers will begin with the very first hour of victory, the workers must be armed and organized. The whole proletariat must be armed at once with muskets, rifles, cannon and ammunition, and the revival of the old-style citizens’ militia, directed against the workers, must be opposed. Where the formation of this militia cannot be prevented, the workers must try to organize themselves independently as a proletarian guard, with elected leaders and with their own elected general staff; they must try to place themselves not under the orders of the state authority but of the revolutionary local councils set up by the workers. Where the workers are employed by the state, they must arm and organize themselves into special corps with elected leaders, or as a part of the proletarian guard. Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary. The destruction of the bourgeois democrats’ influence over the workers, and the enforcement of conditions which will compromise the rule of bourgeois democracy, which is for the moment inevitable, and make it as difficult as possible – these are the main points which the proletariat and therefore the League must keep in mind during and after the approaching uprising."

No party carries out revolution in the people's names. And any in all cases of capitalist restoration, the capitalists were never fully rooted out in the first place!

I wouldn't go so far as to say they aren't left, being of the left is cheap after all, it just requires you to have some opinions that aren't completely retarded. What they are is totally useless to anyone.

Why is criticizing the bureaucracy a meme? Lenin himself noticed the problem near the end of his life. Ignoring or sweeping problems under the rug and pretending it doesn't exist, the ML classic.

>>1107926>>1107911Wrong. The world went to shit around 1500.
That was when Europe began it's colonialism craze. That's when Protestantism was born.
It's when white man became flattered with the ideas of liberalism.

>>1108772This has never happened. In any case i can think of, the there is neither a 1:1 overlap between the one party and the military, or between the party and the bourgeoisie. The people carry out the revolution. No party carries out revolution in the people's names. And any in all cases of capitalist restoration, the capitalists were never fully rooted out in the first place! They were generally the same capitalists as before.
Cope harder. It's been the case in every single 'socialist' country.
Ultimately, what matters isn't so much which class 'owns' of the means of production, but rather which class controls the MoP and the profit it generates

>>1114924The criticism isn’t usually oh it had bureaucracy. It’s usually the excessive way it developed and the ML failure to deal with the issue. Also capitalism has this bad thing so communism can too??? Isn’t the point to be better?
“Our state apparatus is so deplorable, not to say wretched, that we must first think very carefully how to combat its defects, bearing in mind that these defects are rooted in the past, which, although it has been overthrown, has not yet been overcome, not yet reached the stage of a culture that has receded into the past.” -Lenin

>>1114946>It’s usually the excessive way it developed and the ML failure to deal with the issue.Usually things like the Stalinist repressions or Cultural Revolutions that did deal with the issue quite effectively get condemned harshly by those who imagine themselves in the position of the bureaucrats despite their condemnation of bureaucracy
Funny that
