Q&A #4

Electing socialists to capitalist gov'ts has never resulted in proletarian rule, the ending of capitalism, & the building of socialism, & there's no reason to expect it to do that in the future. Their actual role has been to block revolution & enable fascism: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvBU...

How does the democratic state serve bourgeois capitalist interests if it is occupied by democratically elected socialists? Shouldn’t we support their contesting of elections as their positions in government will facilitate the education and self-determination of the proletariat? Ultimately leading to proletarian rule.

Q&A #3 (alt text wouldn't fit smh)

Things never to do online:
1) Openly advocate for terrorism

Also, Marxism-Leninism is completely opposed to what this commenter is suggesting. Lenin mocked the Narodniks repeatedly on this point in multiple works. See also: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQDb...

I honestly think that, in the ol’ US of A and in the current situation or historical conjuncture at least, instead of devoting our limited time and material resources to MList vanguard party building (which, as you are aware, is generally useless anyway because where the hell, besides perhaps in the sort of weirdo anachronistic American Party of Labor, is the de facto anti-revisionist ML party in which one could invest one’s time, energy, and resources even if so desired?), we should rethink the practical possibility and political potential of an ML or generally radically leftist domestic terrorist organizations a la the Weather Underground. Doubtless, there will continue to be (hopefully) increasing incidences of essentially revolutionary violence perpetuated against agents and representatives of the big and small bourgeoisie. However, these acts will remain under-strategized and ad hoc and will therefore lack the kind of consistency and coherence that an ideologically unified and centrally commanded radically leftist terrorist organization could and should provide. Here I think we should take the tactics and strategies of pre-1917 revolutionary Russia as our guiding clue and point of departure in theorizing what such an organ could be and accomplish at the various levels or instances of the social formation as a whole. The Narodniks, after all, essentially pioneered the peculiar art of domestic terrorism from within the coordinates of an irreducible oppressive Tsarist state apparatus and surveillance network. Yet terroristic violence was essential to the means and aims of political action within that concrete conjuncture. Finally, there are few soft-palmed petty bourgeois-cum-proletarian ideologues (actual or wannabe) who would be willing to do something like buy a rifle, learn how to shoot it, then shoot an oppositional political or economic or ideological leader, or who would ever even deign to imagine themselves capable of producing, much less exploding, a bomb…

Q&A #2

Lesser-evilism overall has helped fascism more than it has helped socialism. The events leading up to WW2 saw social-democrats blocking socialist revolution and cozying up to fascism in country after country. If we don't organize our own thing, we get nowhere. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Axc...

serious question though, if you are faced with voting for a republican (a definite bourgeois operative) or Graham Platner isn’t the right choice Platner? We don’t have a labor movement in America and barely have class consciousness so we have to vote for the candidate that at least seems to be with the cause, right?

Q&A #1

On some early (2020) videos, I had a black and red ancom flag with a hammer and sickle over it (2/3 communist, 1/3 anarchist) as the background. However, I quickly realized, both from studying Marxism & from anarchists' squealing replies against the "tankie" texts, that this wouldn't work.
