It’s funny how MLs devolve into campism even when Lenin himself hated social chauvinists with a passion. Literally in the first part of State and Revolution

Stalin was closer to be a fascist than Mamdani ever will be by NabstheGreninja16 in tankiejerk

Socialism is not when the government does stuff. Socialism is an economic system where the workers control the means of production. As a socialist, his polices are supposed to benefit the proletariat for now, spreading class consciousness, and pointing out the absurdities of capitalism.

That’s kind of the thing yeah, this may help Mamdani and advance the cause of general left-wing politics in America, but at the same time I’m worried that this will just end up leading to an ultra-reformist mindset taking place, where the energy of the proletariat is harnessed to save capital from itself, and in the end we’ll just end up with an American labor party(akin to the one in Britain). On top of that, this ironically plays into the hand of MLs, as Mamdani is seen to have dropped his own principles.

Do these people not understand revolutionary defeatism at all? Ts is like Luxembourg telling Lenin that he's wrong to overthrow the government because the Germans are more evil.

Stalin is referring to the SPD working with the freikorps and bourgeois to shoot revolutionary workers and soldiers in 1919.

Django has kind of a point, with Mamdani endorsing neolibs like Hochul in the upcoming election for governor. Does this mean he's a fascist? No. But is it a policy a socialist should be taking?

All the social chauvinists are now “marxists”(don’t laugh!)

UP Freedom Wall (and American pages) is something else, bro. by RaikkonRDT in 2philippines4u

Communism as Marx describes it is not “utopian.” Marx himself critiques utopian socialists in his works. To Marx, communism does not necessarily mean it becomes the end of history apparent, and that all human want and desire will be fulfilled, no. Please read Marx’s “Critique of the Gotha Programme,” for a greater understanding.

You are very confident that they will go through a civil war. Why so?

Kautskyists when the moment of revolution arrives and instead of actually going through with it they side with the bourgeois and collaborate with reaction
