I’m not letting the majority cis white male pressence on this site tell me what and what isn’t effective.

It’s not up to you to tell me what’s important and what’s not.

Not conducting proper struggle on ideology present leaves the reality that there is reactionary ideology present. This makes it an inherently unsafe space for the most marginalized in the community.

collectively by who?

who are they to determine what’s pointless?

pointless

I’m glad these things don’t matter to you but there are lives at stake.

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

Must be fun not to have to take things seriously.

A solid answer. But why even raise the concept of perfection to begin with - instead of emphasizing the good they’ve done navigating contradiction and maintaining their exsitance as a socialist state. To initially phrase that as being ‘imperfect’ seems to me to bring the readers attention to comparing socialist states against the utopian ideal, instead of promoting it’s material strengths.

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.

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.
