leftofleft [none/use name]
How would you define fascism?
Based. :bordiga-despair: First thing you need to know is that “leftcommunism” does not exist as a real movement. You do not want to be like the teenage Stalinist/Maoists/Dengists/Anarchists who LARP as the flagbearers of dead and/or revisionist ideologies. A simple reading of Bordiga’s critique of “Actually Existing Socialism” (https://www.marxists.org/archive/bordiga/works/1952/stalin.htm) is enough to understand that “leftcommunism” is just communism, the original invariant critical science of the proletariat. We are not making up new ideas or modifying Marxism.
Also, what do you mean by ML style of organization? Leftcommunists are not opposed to the dictatorship of the proletariat, the leadership of the class party etc. Our criticism of “MLs” is precisely that the USSR(post Lenin), China, Cuba, NK are NOT dictatorships of the proletariat and the ruling party is not a party of the proletariat. This criticism is a minor thing though, we don’t live in those countries, nor does there exist any real movements in developed countries that tries to replicate whatever they are doing (thankfully). The criticism is only important to keep in mind in case any real movement starts picking up and opportunists come knocking on the door again, talking about state ownership, disarming the working class, class collaboration, “socialist commodity production”, prioritizing the nation over the international, and other such nonsense. This is why its still a LARP to call yourself leftcom, when the “communists” we are opposed to dont really exist politically, and I doubt they will manifest. Opportunism in the West will probably come in the form of Vaushite liberalism, anarchism, social democracy etc, rather than state capitalism.
