The Xi part is debatable, but the rest is based.

That’s a good attitude but you should still give some of Deng and Xi’s writings a shot. I think their theories are consistent with Marxism.

I’ve been going down the “well actually Bukharin was pretty damn based” route lately and I really like his take on Historical Materialism and his ideas about equilibrium. Deng and Xi come from that general route right? You have recs for their writings?

I’ve been slowly reading through Deng’s selected works, ignoring some that seem too niche.

In particular:

As for Xi, the Governance of China is the way to go. The third volume was just published.

Not sure about Bukharin’s relationship to SwCC. I don’t remember seeing him cited, at least.

im asking this in good faith (and i agree with your post), what do you make of china’s “support” of israel and of philippines against mlms there? i know damn well china’s “support” of israel is not comparable to america’s though.

Xi is temporary - Juche is forever

Specifically, I think Revolution of Everyday Life by Vaneigm is the text most beneficial to Leninist. It engages with the question of revolutionary strategy in a way that is based on a real revolutionary moment, but comes from a different philosophical starting place.

Replying to this to come back to later.

Beatnik, you have no cred as an ML

We’ll that and thinking that blindly saying that china and the ussr are good while also being unscientific in your analysis doesn’t make you a lenninst. it makes you the walking stereo type of a ‘ML’ people refer to when they call lenninists tankies. This is a great discredit to the entire ideological framework of dialectic materialism and historic materialism.

Yes they are good. But why stress that they aren’t perfect? This is an unscientific benchmark to bring into the conversation, and part of the greater issues at play.

I try to not be too serious when I post stuff offhand,

Must be fun not to have to take things seriously.
