Right now, I feel burnt for critically supporting Nahendra Modi toward Indian liberals and leftists because of Modi overseeing growth and modernization in India.
That was why I was willing to give him critical support, but he's turned into a Netanyahu figure with the recent Pahalgam war, destructive not only to Pakistanis, but also to his own nation, with him effectively threatening to trigger a thermonuclear war the next time ANYONE, not just the Pakistanis, tries something in India, because you cannot properly attribute terrorist attacks. At this point, I want him gone ASAP, almost at all costs.
Has anyone else been burnt like this before?

And yeah, I was the one comparing Trump to Modi and suggesting we tail Trump until he betrays us. I can't quite say never again, not yet, but I'm shaken.
>>2268087>Right now, I feel burnt for critically supporting Nahendra ModiMarxists support national self-determination where it advances the class struggle (see: Poland in the 19th century, Ireland, anti-colonialism in the 20th century) because there is some kind of national and political oppression. But nationalism can also divide the working class along national lines. Basically nationalism creates a class compromise against a perceived foreign enemy. It's a bourgeois ideology that encourages workers to identify with their exploiters and unify populations under bourgeois rule.
For example, there were the revolutions of 1848 in Europe that was initially led by liberals and nationalists, but they quickly revealed the contradictions between the bourgeoisie and proletariat, which launched an uprising in Paris after the new bourgeois-led republic turned against them. Marx's takeaway is that the bourgeoisie would betray the revolution to maintain property and order, so the European proletariat had to support each other ("workers of the world unite"). I'm not so familiar with India but it used to be colonized by Britain and was an oppressed nation, then India became independent and a bourgeoisie rose up that now pits Indians against each other because of their religion, or encourages militarism so Indian workers see Pakistani workers as their enemy even though they're both poor and speak Hindustani.
>>2268087why were you critically supporting the butcher of bharat? from the jump he's been a hindutva fascist, sikh independance crushing, naxalite hating, muslim murdering rat king of fascism, corporatism, and western interests.
you're a fucking idiot. this is nothing like critically supporting less than wholesome resistance movements.
>>2268466eKKKonomism is wrong. Trotskyites were eKKKonomists. ModicuKKKs like you are the trotskiyites. Each of trotsky deviations are form of eKKKonomism. Read Stalin.
The fall of the "Economists" and the Mensheviks was due, among other things, to the fact that they did not recognize the mobilizing, organizing and transforming role of advanced theory, of advanced ideas and, sinking to vulgar materialism, reduced the role of these factors almost to nothing, thus condemning the Party to passivity and inanition.
The strength and vitality of Marxism-Leninism is derived from the fact that it relies upon an advanced theory which correctly reflects the needs of development of the material life of society, that it elevates theory to a proper level, and that it deems it its duty to utilize every ounce of the mobilizing, organizing and transforming power of this theory.
>>2268115So your point is that nationalization=left? Like, for real? Are people really still unironically on the whole "socialism is when the government does stuff and the more stuff it does the more socialister it is" meme?
Look if you wanna do the whole "critical support for Germany against British imperialism" thing that's fine. Personally I've given up asking people to learn century-old lessons. But you don't have to tie yourself into knots trying to frame Putin of all people as politically left in any way. The man's a fascist fighting a fascist war against other neo-colonial fascists being puppeteered by yet more fascists. Own that it's fascists all the way down and maybe you won't be finding yourself posting an embarrassing "Golly gee guys I supported this guy cause he was le epic based multipolarity development man but it turns out hes a fascist????" thread like this in the future.
>>2270212Marxism is about putting the proletariat into power, but actual Marxist states have different priorities, and in much of the world, it's not viable for Marxists to seize power.
We have to make do with what we can.
>>2268087The replies are so retarded (like 99% of posts here).
Lenin straight up said 'we took the Marxist doctrine from Western Europe readymade' - the usage of 'doctrine' here is retarded but it shows that the Bolsheviks never saw themselves as 'adapting communism to Russia'. As it is, Engels had long before expressed disapproval over the notion of "adapting" communism, particularly Slavophiles in Russian circles of the time.
