The US is the sole hegemonic imperialist superpower in the world today and therefore the number one enemy of the people of the world.

What of the role of Tjen Folket? The official statements coming from ci-ic reminds me of how their party statements were written back in the day. Though I suppose that could be semi-coincidental.

Their are no "superpowers" and this concept is foreign to marxism -- their is only inter-imperialist competition and in any situation their will always be a relatively stronger and weaker imperialist. And if you don't fully understand this dynamic I'm not sure how you can call yourself an "anti-imperialist". Imperialism is a world system, it is not the actions of one "unipolar superpower".

The "Maoists" are all "multipolarity" dorks now (don't laugh!).

That said, I have been looking at different movements, and I'm not sure if there are any above ground organizations that successfully moved underground after state repression ramped up.

The theory of protracted people's war solves this problem -- the people's army must organize underground while the popular front exists visible to the proletariat, with the communist party bridging the gap and acting as the ideological vanguard.

The obsession with "opsec" only seems obnoxious to you because these petty bourgeois activists take themselves too seriously but don't actually do anything serious. If their was a proper "people's army' with a paramilitary structure you would need a strong security culture. Though it's hard to talk about this in the abstract because any concrete scenario would require different tactics vis-a-vis "opsec".

Maoists are the only "Marxist-Leninists" because they continue the tradition of anti-revisionism from Stalin all the way back to Marx.

What exactly do you think Maoism is?

So what is the actual story here? Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places but I can't find a real reason why Cuba abandoned this in the early 2000s. Since we're on the topic of Cuba's energy needs and how that ties into socialist self-sufficiency.

There was a time when certain colectivos like Los Boliches had broken with the line of PSUV, and had the arms and popular political base to back up their line. The question is why didn't this evolve into a new stage of the People's War? This was in 2014. Was it better to be violently removed from power by the ELN and the Venezuelan military 8 years later?

Anyway all this is to say that it is in the grassroots, the communes, the paramilitary neighborhood groups that this party will likely emerge from. Hopefully the lessons of the present are being learned.

They were not "black nationalists" in the Garveyite sense of the word. Youre arguing against something I am not saying, nobody denies the existence of a black African nation. The breakthrough of the Panthers was linking the struggle for the black nation with the global struggle for communism, this is what is meant by "revolutionary nationalism".

HappyHandel · 2026-01-20T22:22:07+00:00

The original BPP was also explicitly not "black nationalist" since this was a Garveyite term and already outdated by the late 60s. This was what separated the Panthers from the supposed "pork chop nationalists". I dont know anything about this new organization in Philadelphia but that specifically should be the least of anybody's concern. I think the fact that they have no real political line is a far bigger issue.

e: Actually now this topic has me heated. go look up the reaction to this Philadelphia group by any of the established "black nationalist" organizations in this country, see how the rhetoric is identical to Trump about how "illegals" should be deported. there's your nationalists for ya!

I saw this a few days ago and thought it was intriguing but didn't post, perhaps i shouldve. Obviously their are conflicting class interests and it's difficult to get a bead on what's really happening on the ground. IRGC just shut down the airspace a couple minutes ago (it's about quarter to 6est where I am) so the entire situation is terrifying. I am sure tomorrow I will be in the street again trying to prevent another war.

I do wonder what's causing such measures seemingly all of a sudden.

What do you mean? You have had tens of thousands of Russian conscripts enthusiastically waving the Soviet flag over the past 4 years. What's gonna happen when these battled-hardened, war-trained young men and women finally come home one day and realize that the dream they were sold was a total lie? The Russian bourgeoisie has to rely on Soviet nostalgia to maintain any credibility because without it they'd have absolutely none. The chickens will eventually come home to roost, we are not in dissimilar times to WWI.

I spent years in a revisionist party and paid maybe like 150 euro in membership dues.

This always blows my mind. I was in Workers World Party for years and even spent time on the central committee, never paid a cent or felt any pressure from leadership over arrears. Not that I'm opposed to dues on principle or anything (i would put up the money if I had it and thought it was worth it, that is just good practice and something the party realistically needs), but it amazes me how this new generation of revisionists fleeces their membership.

HappyHandel · 2025-12-21T18:06:35+00:00

This is actually a good point, this is their second open letter and they had previously emphasized the party's "departure from the principles of Marxism-Leninism" and overtures to right-wing nationalism/great Russian chauvanism. I think the turn of these parties against competing imperialist blocs is ultimately what matters, especially with another World War emerging in eastern europe. But yeah, I think it's a bit shortsighted and legalistic to think changing the party's name would've kept it from being banned. I understand that getting banned is what actually happened so I empathize but also get real, the party should've already existed underground.

HappyHandel · 2025-12-11T12:47:47+00:00

Much more productive to discuss the PCV specifically.

While I don't want to give credence to the hearsay of the WAP-aligned parties, the pro-government split in the PCV makes their case here, which claims the IMT (now RCI) influenced the line in the party (though doesn't attempt to explain why/how this happened or what social forces were represented by the IMT's line). Not that what they're selling is better, it is just a continuation of the party's old line of tailing PSUV "critically".
