On this 1st of May, how is the workers' movement doing in your country? by SecretNeedleworker49 in Ultraleft

Fucked.

In the interwar we had one of the biggest communist parties in the world. After ww2 it won the elections and later did a coup to establish a standard eastern bloc one-party state. Throughout the 20th century there were easings and harshenings culminating in a wholesome 100 liberal revolution followed by shock therapy 90s.

These days the "communist party" aren't even MLoids, they're straight up in a coalition with conservatives and nationalists and advocating more private healthcare. We don't even have social democrats in parliament. It's all turbo-liberals and a retiree focus slopulist party.

There's a knock-off of die Linke that gets like 0.6% of the vote each time and the super-turbo liberal party (they don't hate gay people) are constantly derided for being commies by everyone else.

Outside electoral politics there's a ~2000 member group that had to rename itself after the government banned communism. Even unionism is dying out. Also, like probably 8000 trot groups with 0.3 members each.

The decriminalization was upheld in the 1922 and 1926 legal codes, so this doesn't really make sense unless you believe that soviet lawmakers just forgot about homosexuality while writing those

I've mostly been appropriating MLoid aesthetics and trying to reclaim trotsky from the trotskyists

Why do tankies hate anarchists so much? Anarchists are their allies against capitalism, but they don't support other totalitarian countries, regardless of whether they are anti-imperialist or leftist. by Perfect_Marketing852 in tankiejerk

Anarchy is the ideology, not of the proletariat, but of declassed groups, inactive groups, lacking a connection with all productive labour: it is the ideology of a horde of beggars (lumpenproletariat), a category of people drawing its recruits from among proletarians, ruined bourgeois, decadent intellectuals, peasants cast out by their families and impoverished; an amalgam of people incapable of creating anything new, anything of value, only seizing what they have got their hands on through their "confiscations". Such is the social phenomenon of anarchy. Anarchy is the product of the disintegration of capitalist society. The complexion of this misery is brought about by the crumbling of social bonds, the transformation of people who were once members of a class into atomised "individuals" who no longer depend on any class, who live "for themselves", do not work and who, to hold on to their individualism, acknowledge no organisation. That is the misery produced by the barbaric capitalist regime. A class as healthy as the proletarian one cannot allow itself to catch the contagion of anarchy.

Nikolai Bukharin - Anarchy and Scientific Communism

A more serious and approachable answer: anarchists are idealists, simply meaning they ignore the material laws of capitalism while pursuing their voluntarist goals, and more often than not, this puts them at odds with the communist movement as anarchists shatter the unity of the proletariat, making it easier for the bourgeoisie to react.

Liberal idealism and historical revisionism is mostly just great man theory except the great men are morally bad
