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.
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.
Just be a tankie it’s really fun and it breaks lib brains when you say based, correct shit like “The Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin saved the world from fascism” and “China and its communist party lifted more people out of poverty than America ever did.”
I mean you can be an anarchist and say the exact same stuff as well because it’s true.
The vast majority of leftists in the world are “tankies” in the global south. Just because it’s unfashionable here in the west doesn’t mean Marxism-Leninism is wrong or weird. Western leftists are the weird ones.
i think bernie losing flipped a switch with me, then i started reading more stuff on the soviet union and china and its just making me more of one…
dont think im the only one here with that experience lol
I don’t really understand how you could guarantee everyone the healthcare they need with a decentralized economy, honestly.
