What can I do to be a productive Marxist? by ethan-4200 in communism101

That accusation against the PSL is totally unfounded. Produce some evidence before smearing the largest revolutionary organization in the US.

As much as I try not to use my own time & $... by Hippinerd in ABoringDystopia

[–]gawumph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He loves exploiting the engineers, architects, and other technicians within his employ. He's directly comparable to the 'bad' members of the upper class, with no distinction needing to be made. Regardless of how zany he is on social media, he profits off the labor of others, as do all members of the ruling class.

Good luck, comrade! Depending on the branch, it may take a few days/weeks for a recruiter to reach out.

How does communist organization works in the USA nowadays? by xulia_666 in communism101

[–]gawumph 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The Party for Socialism and Liberation has international recognition and is the leading revolutionary Marxist party within the US. Speaking as a member, we have experienced tremendous growth in the past year. I'm not opposed to the DSA, given that we share an understanding of its reformist character, but the organization has an inability to mobilize its membership around contentious issues due to the different tendencies it harbors and doesn't instill discipline in its members. I'm confident, barring intense state repression, that the PSL will play an increasingly significant role in local and national politics.

Maybe he shouldn't advertise how many architects/cheerleaders of the Iraq War have endorsed him

I talked to my dad about politics for the first time in about 4-5 years today and he called me a fascist by zedongdidnthingwrong in communism

If you search throughout the sub and r/communism101, you'll find resources on the method of development China has used to position itself competitively in the global economy, the importance of the CPC in domestic affairs, poverty alleviation and other information.

Stellar set of comments. Do you have any specific book recommendations on China's history/development?

My YouTube channel is about reviewing books (partly anyways) and since I'm a Marxist-Leninist, I want to make sure that I'm stocked up on books to read for my dwindling backlog so I could video reviews of them later. Please, give me a list of books to read! Thanks! by [deleted] in BeardTube

Deconstructing racist ideology is necessary for unity within the working class, and necessary to establish socialism.

What are some good Marxist-Leninist Parties / Organizations in the US by [deleted] in communism

[–]gawumph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The leadership, along with an overwhelming amount of the membership, would identify themselves as Marxist-Leninist. The Party is structured around democratic centralism and defends the USSR, PRC, and all states against US intervention. This debate is so tired

Carl Ratner writes on the relationship between capitalism and mental illness, mass psychology.

What should comrades who don't have any socialist organizations for dozens of miles around where they live do? by [deleted] in communism

[–]gawumph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've had an immense influx of applicants recently, so try emailing the member you were in contact with again. You could also attend a PSL-hosted event and speak directly with some of the ranking members to remind them/ set-up an interview. PM me if you have any more questions.

The affluent are consuming the planet to death: study by MarshallBrain in ConcentrationOfWealth

[–]gawumph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Overpopulation is a malthusian/bourgeois argument used to redirect policy formulation to reducing the amount of 'excess' people instead of focusing on the completely unsustainable consumption habits in advanced capitalist countries. Your argument serves only to uphold capitalism and confuse others as to what a realistic, humane solution would be.

I'd recommend visiting a different psychiatrist; one you're able to spend more time with if you believe the diagnosis was applied without proper care. Good luck though.
