leftofleft [none/use name]

Like I said, “leftcoms” are an online thing today. There is no leftcommunist party or movement. We are just communists. Lenin’s criticism is of the German leftcommunists in the 1910s who rejected the role of the party, which goes explicitly against what Marx advocated, and against what historical experience has shown to be a necessity.

You posted a polemic that criticizes the tactics of the Dutch-German leftcommunists. Can you explain how it is relevant here?

Sure, and Marx changed and tweaked some of his views throughout his life

What are those views? I changed my views too. I used to be an anarchist, then an ML.

All I am asking is, what do you believe in as a leftcom, or as someone who “identifies online as a leftcom”?

Do you want me to list out all the talking points on historical materialism, the role of the party, critique of commodity production, criticism of anarchism, criticism of other socialisms, criticism of economics, criticism of morality, criticism of religion, role of the state etc? Here’s a reading list - https://www.reddit.com/r/Bruhinternational/comments/m53hon/official_rbruhinternational_reading_list/

I already gave you the answer about my views. You seem to think I have an “opinion” or some original ideas. I don’t.

Why bother reading Marx when you can just ask for people’s opinion of Marx on the internet right?

Okay, well marx also developed himself overtime.

There is no shortage of people claiming to “improve” or “revise” or “develop” Marxism. None of them have come up with any critique of Marxism that is valid.

There is a difference between early marx and later Marx.

What is the difference?

How is this too much for me to ask you what you believe in?

You’re the guy who made a thread telling people to read theory, now you want me to give you a condensed lecture on Marxism in a shitposting forum?

lol you made a thread telling people to read theory and you don’t even know what the views and aims of non-ML communists are? You know, people like Marx, Engels or Lenin?
