I don't want to work with any Marxist who doesn't agree that we must abolish patriarchy and white supremacy as part of our project.

As a materialist I believe there is such a thing as a correct analysis. ML theory is the tool that can bring you to that correct analysis, if you study it and understand it. "Democratic" Socialism, for example, has been theoretically and practically proven to be incorrect for over 150 years.

Check this out comrade

Its too long to quote in full here but that reminds me of Engels writing about metaphysics vs dialectics in Part II of Socialism: Utopian and Scientific. In a dialectical framework, its all about context and transformation instead of isolated theory and empirical observation.

“if we’re going to have child labor in factories again, here’s the best places for your 10 year old to work to reduce likelihood of maiming”

for example i'll only accept an argument that China isn't socialist from a marxist leninist who bothers to cite both theory and other sources. therefore i don't think China is socialist anymore, after watching a video from @socialismforall.bsky.social

all his songs are exactly the same anyway so i doubt his fans will notice a difference

So basically they were saying they had $150mil coming, but the company that owed them the money went under? Does the article have evidence it reflects the broader market rn?

Its literally called scientific socialism. Read Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Engels to learn more about what that means.

Whats your plan? Vote for liberals? LOL

Yeah its what the Black Panthers were trying to do

We can fight when they have a successful revolution, even the anarchists have had a few of those.

i always tell myself "oh i'll just sew up that hole later". now i have a pile of clothes with holes in them sitting in the back of my closet

Incorrect. We are still living in imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism as described by Lenin. If you cannot see it you are ignorant. Marxism-Leninism is the science of revolution, building on the hard won knowledge of generations of revolutionaries.

I have read that article before and I agree that the power of the socialitst-in-office should lie with the org and the org's relationships. Thats true power. We will see if the Demsoc tendency is successful in the end. There is so much work to be done.

I do think you have a point with DSA changing the culture, challenging the cultural hegemony. But there is a limit to how much they can do that if the leaders aren't committed, trained communist cadre.

Every time. You think you're a special wecial independent thinker, who just wants to work with serious people. What you actually believe is that you are better than normal people who believe in civil society. You believe in an elite society, you are a dog who begs to eat his master's shit.
